Travel Advice: Melbourne

Hello everyone, long time no post but I'm hoping you guys can give some travel tips. Going to be going to Melbourne in late November for a couple of weeks for a wedding. We'll be in/around the city for the first week and then free to go further afield for the second week. We'll have a car and are up...

Re: The Training Thread - all aspects of fitness and health

Speaking of wiping off equipment, I was on the treadmill the other day ( :blush: ), some girl was on one a couple down the line from me. She finished up, went to get the spray and paper towels, came back and carefully and considerately wiped down the wrong treadmill.

Re: The Training Thread - all aspects of fitness and health

Ahh, the ChadBot or something? Seen stuff on Instagram for it but never investigated.

I’m on the fence about getting a barbell medicine hypertrophy program. Lost all my strength during quarantine so I figure now is a good time to be a bit of a bro but in a vague powerlifting way.

Back in the gym a couple weeks now and the post-quarantine results are officially in -

Weight - down 20lbs (good % of that is fat)
Total - down 155lbs :uhoh:

Re: The Training Thread - all aspects of fitness and health

Went back to the gym this week and had my first leg day yesterday, feeling a bit sore today.

Had almost forgotten what it feels like to be properly tired after a session, laying in bed with your whole body tingling and barely able to keep your eyes open :o

Re: The Training Thread - all aspects of fitness and health

I’ve given up any sort of structured training and am just putting together random upper and lower body sessions on my cobbled together equipment. Some mild weights feel very heavy :uhoh:

Lost the guts of 10kg since the start of the year so focusing on diet and cardio more than anything right now.
