I confess that until about 20 years ago I was pretty quick to dispense training advice. That was when I still thought I knew a lot - and 10 years before that I knew bloody everything and would give advice/instructions on pretty much anything!

Itās hard to back off, especially when you still feel good. You just gotta remember that youāll be able to take a less extreme deload (like less of a reduction) if you back off Before you start feeling bad.

Haha, obviously not, I was being deliberately provactive with my choice of words. But even so, it is a thing that I experience, and is more likely just overload from a number of different sources.
Men have a hormonal cycle too but, from what Iāve read, itās much shorter and more frequent than womenās. Plus, we (men) obviously donāt evacuate massive amounts of blood.

Confession - even though I can get a great workout a Planet Fitness, my current gym, exercising on machines simply isnāt as emotionally satisfying to me as free weights and weighted calisthenics. Plus, I legitimately miss lifting outside, like I did before joining the Barney of gyms.

The Barney of gyms? Is this a saying?
Couldnāt think where else to put this. I want scientists to come up with denser yet still cheap materials for use in dumbbells. I am not a big dude, so it looks stupid and wonky when I have to push, pull and otherwise move anything over, say, 30 kilograms. The stupid things are huge and look dumb and literally get in the way of each other.
Imagine DBs made of gold. Thatās what I want. 40kg gold DBs.

idk, gold is too soft. theyāll get all bent out of shape.
Thatās just cuz you throw your shit on the ground after you are done. I replace things, gently and smoothly.

Maybe tungsten. It would still be ungodly expensive but itās a pretty heavy, tough and durable metal.
I think my local gym does okay, but I doubt they could afford tungsten. Maybe something off a meteor might work.

idk, that might actually be more expensive

More expensive than my 40kg gold DBs? I donāt know, I donāt follow crashed meteor futures.

Wouldnāt be any less cumbersome either. Meteors are mostly just raw iron ore.
Iām a big fan of crashed meteors futures.

I dunno, the market is tanking. But perhaps crashed meteors has a place in the future as a replacement of the gold standard. Just as long as weāre all clear that it was my idea and that I get royalties.
I have a feeling if there is a glut of crashed meteors in the future, your royalties will be the least of your worries
Nope, I will have built myself one of those skyhook thingies where I float above all you bitches, perfectly safe from impacts and fallout. All because of my foresight and genius.
