Comrade! You Tube suggested this for me to share with you!


Like with the Convict Conditioning books, I'm not fussed on theatrics but there's some good underlying information.

товарищ! What glorious getups this is. Clear, concise and straight (unlike those Yankee capitalist complications)

Mother Russia clearly demands superior fine motor control, as well as functional movement patterns. :ROFL:

This might be a great stand-in for when they finally close the gyms! Thank you for sharing
 
Can anyone recommend a company/person in CT that builds and installs decent pull up/dip bars for home gyms?

Decided to kick things up a bit and take health more seriously.

Used to run 40-60km (10-15km everyday/other day) a week then had a bad lung infection 4/5 years ago that messed this up. Could do a 22 min 5km (miss these days). Last three years have been pretty average not doing much on the health front going to gym (cardio) 3 times a week doing loads of hikes etc.

Going to gym this morning meeting with a trainer and getting a proper training plan before the chaos of the masses of Jan settle in.

Best of luck to you all - hoping for a better healthier year ahead.

Not touching diet, diet is fine. Its just being more active - WFH 3 years later doesnt always help. Used to have 15k steps a day with zero exercise

The above mentioned lung infection ended in some bizarre ultra rare persistent cough that took months to resolve cough. This cropped 3 years ago DR stopped it within a week or two.

In the last 2 weeks it cropped up again, had a coughing fit at midnight last night so off to see DR tomorrow need to nail it in its tracks not to derail everything. So took today off and will see what DR recommends tomorrow. Its difficult to describe the cough as it happens randomly and doesnt impact workout etc but almost crops up whilst sleeping etc :(

Mine in comparison. Have to pack everything away at night to make space for the cars.

Only dumbbells for me - avoiding the temptation of barbells.

Have the meds and DR confirmed its an irritation caused likely by mold etc from all the rain and should have zero impact on gym so im back tomorrow :)

Sure there's no mold issue in the house?

None that I am aware of but was also busy in the garage quite a bit the last month loads of dust etc. Will keep an eye out though just in case.

Unfortunately the by product of the issue I had years ago is that once the hypersensitivity starts again you gotta nip it in the bud immediately or it gets bad.

You might want to swop out Split Squats for Lunges if you find your knees complaining a lot.

I alternate. Some days, it's snap, crackle and pop. Other days 4 x 8 not a sound.

90 min session yesterday, training movement patterns and rowing for time.

3:50 for 1km... Which is... not wonderful, and then just kept going until I was gassed out.

As far as movement patterns go. From what I've read there are 7 types.

Push, Pull, Lunge, Hinge, Rotate, Gait and Squat
