Masks during a work out?
Iām not one of those āmask cut of oxygenā guys. But if youāre working hard the sheer uncomfortably of a mask is off putting.
On a related note - I was removing a very large man from a house whilst working for the funeral home. I was bringing him down the stairs and the mask I was wearing rode up and started to touch my eye balls. I couldnāt let go of the stretcher to adjust the mask as even with a partner balancing on the stairs is sketchy. So I had to lower him most if the way with my eyes closed. And it took ages as my partner had to talk me through it like is was - well blind.
Luckily the family remained out side during all of this and just thought it was normal levels of communication. But the police officers who were in attendance thought it was very funny as I had to be counted down every step.
Why do I miss all the fun. I need to be less busy and have more time in hereā:joy:
Having worn a 3 ply mask, a disposalble surgical mask and a mask with carbon filter, I can say that I donāt know if they cut oxygen but they definitely make it harder to breathe. Cloth much worse than the disposable ones. I assume that if you get thin cloth then it is better but I also assume they do next to fuck all.
I overslept today and woke up with no time to prepare my lunch - got into work right on time and decided Iād just fast, Iām out of work at 6 pm so I could eat then. Of course, today is the day my company brings several boxes of donuts in and has them right next to me, so not only can I smell them but people are walking by me to get them.
I was so tempted to grab several that I convinced myself that people were assholes for eating them near me and offering them to me, despite the fact that I didnāt anyone I was purposefully not eating anything, and that even if I had it wouldnāt make them assholes, but by the end of the day I had fabricated a literal resentment of two employees who Iām friendly with.
I asked my wife: The mask keeps coming in my mouth and it gets a wet patch.
Iām going to count this as foreplay
Heās at it again, so it appears there is still time for lulz.
The towels, I can understand. The masks bought from them as mandatory? dafuq?
I am so disappointed. All my respect for you is gone, just like that.
Not fun at all, but doable.
Probably a good time for quick sessions a couple days a week instead of 90-minute workouts.
I understand them wanting to make up for lost income, but some people were pointing out that if they train five days a week, theyāre spending nearly as much on towels as their actual monthly membership. Add in the gloves and mask, and itās bonkers.
In any case, not planning to get in there at any point soon, so I can wait and see what they end up putting in place. Just struck me as the wrong decision.
Finally getting back into it again after my covid induced mental collapse. Yeah im going to pay for it.
I confess that I JUST realized Iāve been training a once a week 4 day bro-split for years now. It seems to shake out like this
Mon-Back
Tues-Chest
Wed-Legs
Thurs-Shoulders
With some weeks having chest and shoulders swapped.
Apparently, the secret to make that work is to actually train back every single day and THEN have a back day.
I also confess I had a full serving of fruit for the first time in years. 4 dried plums, 2 figs and a tablespoon of raisins. Holy cow, fruit is delicious: why do we keep that a secret?
I also confess I skipped my post workout shake to have more room for mexican food that Iāll be eating later. Thankfully, Mexican food is rich in amiƱo acids.
You got this!
Been awhile since i have had major DOMs
Ooops! It does a body good.
I was in NYC very recently, on business.
It looks like a fricking ghost town. Or some former Soviet satellite country, when the USSR was still a thing.
And what I was doing was closing a major law firmās office. About 500 six figure taxpayers (and spouses and support people) being relocated. Almost no one took the severance package to stay.
Iāve never seen people happier Iām closing a business.
I doubt the city will ever recover.
De Blasio seems elated - Cuomo, not so much
And this is why I took the cash from a recent car sale and turned it into guns and ammo. It can happen fast and Iāll be ready to head for the woods and survive on my own. Hunting, camping, and fishing are family hobbies anyway.
Hey, lifting confessions, and things.
I confess Iāve graduated from high volume ab training to weighted progression, and part of my inspiration was a really jacked 53-year-old who told me that his junk still works like a 20-something year old due to him never skipping ab training in 30 years. Is this true? Who knows, but it was motivation enough for someone who has the ādriveā of a teenager and doesnāt want to lose it.
I also confess that the few days Iāve had working around my minor injury and doing BBing style work have been amazing. I may have been in need of a deload.
Fast forwards to 24 hours later, waiting for Pwnās PSA post about how eating a bunch of high fiber dried fruits for the first time in years may lead toā¦an explosive consequence.
