Jock itch Fitness & Nutrition

[gamer.tv]

In reality, I should probably be running 6+ miles for my jogs butn slack.  I’ve just maintained a level of fitness over the last few years which just keeps me in good knick.

damn it, envious.

[SuperSpreader]

My legs are killing me. I did 3 hours at the gym on Sunday. Now I haven't gone back yesterday and maybe today. THE TRAVESTY!!!

Not sure how that happened in one day, but I'll take it. 

277.1/230 wtf man

Started intermittent fasting (8-16) and 4 mile runs at 5:30am. Runs are ok. Fasting sucks. 

 

I also started to do single leg pistol squats because I was told that my right butt cheek is smaller than my left. No clue how that happened.

Explain intermittent fasting.

Basically you eat your calories within a time period and fast the rest. I am doing an 8 hour window for food and 16 hours of fasting. During the fasting, you can only drink water.  I plan on doing this for at least 8 weeks to see if I notice any difference.

That's crazy that that's a thing.  I've been doing it for years just because it's when I get hungry and not even knowing it.

I eat dinner about 6pm and don't eat again until around noon the next day.  I'm just not hungry in the mornings.  I do drink in the interim; water, tea and coffee.  So it probably doesn't count.

[Emblazon]

What I've been doing is minimal calories in the morning/afternoon, and having most of my calories/nutrients at night.

Turns out, it's been working wonders for me. Down to 192.

Did about a decent run/jogging path today.  1.85 miles running, walking 1.15 miles in between, total 3 miles.  Okay I guess.

 

Heat is brutal for me currently.

[gamer.tv]

Small jog for me too and weather was cool so it was nice.  Will hopefully wake up early tomorrow and smash out a pre work workout.  Aiming to do a 10K hill walk on Saturday and maybe a little job prior. 

[Guest]

This weather is amazing.  71 high.  Makes it much tolerable to run longer.

 

Split my running  a bit.  Did about 1.5 miles first, then another .72 miles, totaling to 2.22 for the first bit.  Walked for about 10 minutes, did another 1 mile run, walking the rest.

 

 

Fitbit says I did about 5.63 total distance within the hour with walking and jogging.  Not bad... I guess?

[gamer.tv]

Felt a little ping in my groin on Monday, though nothing of it, still there today.  Sounds like it's time for 2 days of ibuprofen and hope it gets better quickly.

[Guest]

1 day of rest is not enough for me.

 

Struggled to do a mile straight.  Struggled more to do a 1/3 mile.  Had to walk the rest of my route.

Look into recovery techniques for runners. You might need to do foam rolling and specific stretches the next day. Perhaps some light weight lifting

I literally hate my foam roller bar unkinking knots in my back

Y tho

 

I love mine. It hurts so good

[gamer.tv]

I’m isually suffering on either hips or calf.  Both horrendous to roll

[SuperSpreader]

For calf I usually do a soft ball on a coffee table, sit with my leg up resting on the ball and roll it around. Hips is all painful foam roll and tears

[SuperSpreader]

just got a new Reebok gym bag. SO EXCITED. My last gym back was falling apart, and I had ordered a Nike Brasilia but it was flimsy as fuck.

[DarkStar189]

Has anyone here ever gone down the rabbit hole of making your own protein/energy bars? I'm a very active person with my job so it's pretty common for me to have some sort of a protein bar once a day and I've never actually looked into making your own (if it's possible). Before I go searching online and sifting through cutesy pinterest shit I was wondering if anyone here already makes anything. Preferably something you make in a batch that will last at least a week. 

[gamer.tv]

If you can be bothered, it’s pretty easy.  I found with food like that, it’s not the making but the extras cleaning that put a stop to it.

So um yeah.  My ankles and feet have been having difficulty to recover. 

 

 

Would really like to run, but earlier today even walking without wincing from sharp sensation was a struggle. :\

Is it your shoes?

 

It took me a while to find the right running shoes that didn't damage my feet. I'm all Reebok, the brand just fits my flat ass flipper feet.

Might be.  I had training and was wearing formal/fashion shoes for 4 days of training, 8 hours a day, and the right shoe was digging into the backside of my foot.  I wouldn't be surprised that because of that slight discomfort I was starting to put more pressure on my left foot/ankle/leg, although I had some wincing last week before training began.

 

And then there's my sneakers, which might be worn out considering how the material/fabric towards the front of the foot felt super soft...

You're training in normal shoes?????

 

There's a reason they make athletic ones.

NONONONO

 

Sorry, I had training for my field placement*

 

Of course I run/jog in sneakers :P

[Guest]

Almost two weeks, and my knee and ankle haven't really recovered at all, if anything might have gotten worse.

 

 

I still have this sharp pain even when I'm walking, although in a rush to catch public transportation.  I wonder if it's some kind of tendonitis

[DarkStar189]

YOU LIFT TOO LOUD! GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!

wtf! That was so dangerous

 

 

Looked it up. The guy got banned, the kid is suing, and he for free gym memberships at other gyms. He was recording this for his trainer to give him feedback. The trainer posted the video.

It's crazy!  I've seen a lot of videos online, but this was the first time i ever saw someone basically get assaulted while working out.

May finally be able to make use of my school's gym so long as I can find 20 minutes to have an induction.  Although not a lot, will definitely save me a £200 (and it makes sense to use since I need to go to work anyway, might as well go a little earlier).
