The beginning of the revival: weight training in the gym

Post by manovlov »

So. It's decided. Since October last year, i go to the gym. At the beginning I was looking for curl bars for children... :mrgreen:

Thick as toast, muscular as Krissprols, and the feeling of being bent into a sort of light all-terrain tyre for drifting mountain bikes.

3 times a week, to begin, but quickly the impression it was not enough... December the 17, clearly my mind won over my body. Since, i go each day for an hour and half, with some abs exercises. I've changed my meals habits,thrown away chips, sodas, chocolate etc... I don't use doping products, and go to search proteins in food, eggs.

I start to win weight, good one i mean.

This post is uninteresting as possible, but, it's to me a big change.

We sometimes tend to baby our cars and forget about our main mode of transportation. Your health is everything. Drop all sodas, chips, fried food etc. Eat organic as much as possible, particularly things like milk, potatoes and meat. I tend to eat very little red meat, opting for fish, chicken and vegetable based " meats " instead.
Really the trick is MODERATION, no matter what it is.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

This is all so true. I've seen the phrase, "You can't outrun the fork" meaning that if you don't change your diet, you can exercise until you're purple and not make much difference.

"muscular as Krissprols" and "curl bars for children" made me laugh!

Inspired by this thread I went to gym but was unsuccessful in getting any weights to come or heel. I did have some rollover, and staying seemed to be popular…..

The pain after going to the gym for the first time in months because of covid single-handedly destroyed my motivation to get out of bed for the next few weeks :lol:
