I thought you wrote ‘I go pee on the mat’ and I was confused for a bit

I have vegan protein powder. It’s basically the same price as whey where I live and most of them taste decent. The one I have now is from a brand called Optimum Nutrition. Found it in the supermarket.

Based. Reminds me of how in Belgium unions got targeted, except for one Union who collaborated with the Germans. The socialist Union in response went underground, joined the resistance and sabotaged the Nazi regime.

Yeah now that I think about it you’re right. A better example may be overcrowded gyms. I used to go in the evenings and it would be so busy to the point of not being able to do certain exercises because they gym was closing. Glad I can work out at home right now.

Not wanting to dedicate my life to getting fit. When I started working out I had this idea that I needed to be as ripped as possible otherwise I had failed gym life. I’d be at the gym five times a week. I’d spend my days trying to figure out how to get as much gains as possible. I made 800 kcal disgusting smoothies made out of ice, peanut butter, protein powder, dates and what not. You could cement a house with those bad boys. I’d skip going out with friends because the thought of having a drink while out in a bar gave me anxiety because I thought that it would destroy all my progress of the week.

I got ripped because of it. I got strong. But mentally it made me a wreck because everything I was doing, I did it for the gainz.

Now I work out to stay healthy and active and to remain strength. If I want to go out a day after a workout or if I don’t have a workout during the week I don’t freak out anymore. I have found a much healthier balance for myself which allows me to be far more consistent. And I have a much healthier relationship with food now. Have a drink if you feel like it. Have a cheat day, whatever. It’s not going to magically destroy every gain you have ever made.

Sure I could be bigger in terms of muscle right now but that is not my goal anymore.

@GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml could you check if you can do this? I currently can’t

At least they have some sense of humor 🤷

For someone that gets accused of being a paid shill this much I’d wish it was true, but no

Unsticky since things seem to be good for now

Worldnews having the expected meltdown. No early weekend for people working in Langley.

We now just add the instances to the block list and purge the content, but we can’t know which instance they will use next (I think). I currently don’t know what else we could do. Maybe some more tech savvy admins can help with that.

That´s great to hear

Thanks for the tips

Do you know what they will rate you on? That might make it easier for suggestions. Otherwise you’d be bench pressing for months while they will see if you can run 10km or not.

Full physicals are not that common over here. People only go if something is wrong. Health Insurance covers a lot over here but I have no idea where to ask for a physical exam lol. I should probably start with the local doc but I have mixed experiences with him so I’m hesitant.

It’s a good thing to train for running away from cops.

Anyway, thanks for the tips I’ll check em out

How much can you run now?

I’d love to do a 4daagse once. I used to deliver drinks to bars for one of my previous jobs and I always had to go to Nijmegen at night during the 4daagse. Seemed like a fun happening.

I am currently doing research on training programs. You should be able to train for a marathon in around 20 weeks and since most marathons are somewhere in september-october I should have time to see what I will do.

What is sprint interval training like? I used to be able to sprint very fast but I kind of lost it in recent years. I would love to work on it again.

Would you be able to do them in the morning, before work maybe?
