man i used to run in thin ass low drop saucony kinvaras all the time and i would always buy the outgoing model to save money. i always got super sore feet by around the 15km mark though, so painful.
now knowing what i know about myself and my feet, they were probably the worst possible choice for me, but i just liked how light they made my steps.
ultra cushioned shoes werent a thing yet back then, only hoka was doing it which is a niche brand. i think that would have been a game changer for me.

So I jogged on Wed and my legs -- mostly my thighs -- went limp. Things didn't feel so bad on Wed night -- my legs mostly just felt spent.
Had to walk a lot yesterday just bcos that's how the day went. And nope, my thighs and hip didn't like that very much. I felt it coming last night and I was trying to stretch and massage them in the hopes of minimizing the blowback. But nope, I'm having all kinds of soreness around my hip and thighs today, with the (outer) sides of my thigh being the worst. I'm pretty sure that is some soft tissues inflammation going on.
Thankfully, I don't seem to have any knee pain.
But hey, now I have an excuse to skip leg day, right?

Light exercise would probably be good, some light walking to let the muscle move and have the blood flow. Alternatively hot and ice bath alternating. I don't know how you can ice a whole leg though  | |

So now that my home gym is up and running I've paused working with my trainer and instead I tried using Google Gemini over the past month to help me design my workout program and it's surprisingly good at it. I started with the following prompt: Quote:
I want to design a 4 day workout program that breakdowns the following way:
Day one: Pull/Legs
Day two: Push/Cardio (exercise bike)
Day three: Pull/Legs with a focus on single leg or isolation exercises.
Day three: Push/Cardio
I want to incorporate 1-2 core exercises each day as part of the program. Exercises like a bosu ball mountain climber or a wall sit.
I am working from home with a squat rack and a cable tower. I do not have equipment to do a lat pulldown.
What are some suggestions for how to program the 4 days?
| The first result was pretty solid - it included a number of things that my trainer and I had added to our program that I'd consider out of the ordinary like plank with knee taps, cable flies, and cable wood chops.
I went back and forth with it a number of times and it did a great job remembering (and updating) my requirements, offered tips for each exercise (including links to videos showing techniques), reminded me when I dropped something that was important to my goals, and challenged me on some of my choices (and offered alternatives). In some ways it was better than working with my trainer to build a plan as it knew more than my trainer.
As it stands this is where I landed with it: 
Might be worthwhile to bounce your plan against it and see what it has to say based on your goals.

Hmm... I'm confused by a small detail. You mentioned in your prompt that you do not have equipiment to do a lat pull down. And yet in your Day 3 program, you are doing a lat pull down.
Is that just AI hallucination? Or is something else going on here?

1. I'm in the middle of hacking my cable system to allow for me to do a lat pulldown so I have it in there - just gotta get a couple parts to let me do it so I told Gemini I didn't have the equipment.
2. Gemini figured out a workaround by advising that I do a lat pulldown from a kneeling position on the ground. This is how I do my single arm pulldown too so it can work though it's not ideal once you start pulling more than half your body weight.

100 days into cutting the relationship weight, still a twink but easier on the joints, my 7th cut to date, losing weight is super easy now that I run and play sports.
193cm
198-205lbs morning vs walking
23% last dexa vs 17-18%? Have a dexa booked at eom.
next goal add 3-5lbs of muscle!

hey regular gym goers, what time do you guys go? is it busy at your gyms at that time?
i might get a membership but i really was spoiled at my last gym being a semi private one so i don't know how to deal with busy gyms and sharing equipment, having dudes want to use what im using, etc..

I go to the community center, it's died down a bit since new years. The busiest machines are always just the treadmill, that's why I started running outside instead.
I'm not that hardcore. If someone is using an equipment I wanted to use, I'll just go do something else. I have a few exercises that I want to hit but it doesn't really have to be in any order.

Least busiest is around 6AM to 2PM

You can always ask people how many sets they have left and nobody will have a problem. I get asked and I ask people, it's normal. You can just wait if they only have 1~2 sets left.

well i did it!! down another 5.6 lbs this week. hit my goal of being 14X lbs before my trip.
with just over a week to go im gonna aim for 140 lbs just for shits and giggles.
diet: tracking, 1200 cal/day, down to 2 shakes 2 meals, mostly just salads and lean protein such as chicken breast and prawns.
workout: down to 1 workout 7 days a week. weight lifting down to 75% intensity, 30min walk, 500m swim, 1 hour sauna.
gf said something along the lines of... the way i lost all this weight (34 lbs in 3 months) in the most unhealthiest way out of vainness and next level pettiness is some bat shit crazy highschool girl behavior.
nah bitch youre just jelly i did this without your "professional" help... hence the pettiness because she said i couldnt do it by myself. i proved her wrong, feels good!

i think ive said this before, Red Kryptonite is like the Christian Bale of RS, incredibly range can go from fat boy, to medium, to now lean as hell.
Insane discipline akin to a gongfu master or a shaolin monk.

I was 145lbs in grade 12, it's not terrible especially considering the deficient he was running. Not healthy though.
