I honestly don't know how people workout alone. Way more will power than me.

I totally get it and when I was going to the gym and lifting heavy crap I hated bothering someone to give me a spot. I also get the need for motivation. I am lucky I never really wanted or needed someone with me. I have always viewed it as me time. I have my headphones in and am focused on what i'm there to do, then I leave. I have zero interest in waiting around on someone else.

When I was really fat I would not have been able to do it at all. I had a buddy go with me and establish some basics and a routine and we held each other accountable. Now I don’t go as often and that is partially a product of that but I am still way better than before and have been playing soccer at least once or twice a week which helps too.

Went again today and it was better than yesterday. Need to just show up and give effort and I can build back better.

my entire workout consists of walking/jogging 2.2 miles each day (path behind my house is that distance in a loop) and then doing youth sports coaching of my kids which is walking/jogging around a field yelling at kids to quit playing in the dirt and pay attention. a lot of baseball throwing I guess, I have a rocket/laser arm now. No weight training at all. It's probably awful to not build strength at my age (like 95 years old basically). But I also am very proud that I don't just sit on my fat ass all day doing nothing (I do that the entire rest of the day not chronicled above). when it gets to cold to get out there I will convert to rowing on my hydrow and really get some lower back muscles working.

You did the one up at Snowbasin, right?  Nice work.  Never done one but have thought about it.

yeah, it was an absolute bear.  Terrible, beautiful, awful, and life changing.  5 stars, would not recommend

Used the 54 lb kb. Utter desolation for my puny quads.

First time back at the gym today in about a month. Slowly feeling good enough to start doing stuff again. I also got on the scale and I’m in the 220 range for the first time since college. That brings my total weight loss to almost 70 lbs now.

When I posted this I was 229.8lbs. Got on the scale this morning and I’m 210.6lbs. I haven’t been to the gym in over 2 months because I haven’t been doing good.

I got below 200lbs for a short period my freshman year of college but other than that I don’t remember being this weight.

Hell yeah!

I threw out my back deadlifting. Haven't worked out in a week and a half. But it's getting better!

I think I’m going to join the local geezerball night again!

I mildly tweaked my calf playing tennis with one of my kids and I can see how a calf injury would really suck. Get better soon!

Played pickup bball with the guys last night and really tweaked my calf. I'm getting really old and slow - like I'm moving in wet cement out there.

Did not play, but we won the championship

Due to a shitty bar which is so rusty that the plate would not slide cleanly on and thus had to be rocked back and forth to get it to even budge I dropped a 45 on my left big toe and fellas, this is not it.  I know there isn't anything a doc can do for a broken toe so I am gutting this out but wowsers it has its own heartbeat rn.

There are certain types of big toe fractures that should have attention from an orthopedic surgeon. If you think it is broken it would be good to get it checked out.

Sounds like you have a case against the gym for that faulty piece of equipment

In theory yes but it is my local gym and I would like to continue to get swole there.  I will bring this nonsense to their attention.  I might show up with my own WD 40 to make a point.

This is rough ridin' insane.

Looking to get back into strength training after more than 2 years off. I’m older, feeling older and am out of shape. Plan on 5x5 (prob stronglifts).

Former lifts 5x

Squat 365 (form prob suspect that heavy)
DL 385
Bench 295
Row 240 (probs with grip)
OHP 185

How light/heavy should I start after so much time off?
