Time to get Fit thread

[HappyHighwayman]

Felt super low energy today but Whoop said high recovery so I met my friend for his recovery ride (he did 80km yesterday) and we banged out a leisurely 18 mile city loop.

I forgot that BARF has more smart people than every other forum I visit.
There is some very good information here spanning many different concepts and science backed ideas.
Perfect for people who are seeking knowledge and have the ability to glean information into applicable usefulness.

Mostly this all warms my heart to see people acting on wanting to be fit and healthy.
Good on ya folks!

The pandemic has thrown a lot of people for a loop.

Only the really committed have really maintained some semblance of fitness.

Try the yoga. I still can’t do an entire routine but 1/3 is better than 0/3 and I’ve noticed a reduction in hurties.

Had elective surgery a few days ago. Can’t work out for 3 weeks. Game plan is to work on my diet.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I successfully benched 52.5 per hand incline/flat but that's as heavy as my dumbbells go.

Do I realistically need to buy heavier ones or am I good sticking to 52.5?

4 mile run in the rain down, onto brogability abs and mebbe arms. decided to play with some hemodilator(vasodilator?) supplements for moar pump. it made zoning out for my run a lot easier for a comfortable 8:00 pace

lunch:
-liter of water
-6 double stuf oreos
-2 milk chocolate lindor truffle bawlz
-2 grams arginine mixed with 6 grams citrulline (4.2g dose)

dinner:
-24oz ribeye
-3 cups of rice
-1 broccoli

leftover cals:
brogurt

How many reps did you so at that weight?

 

[Agent Orange]

If you bench 52 for your incline you can definitely bench more on your flat.

Since I can’t work out until mid-January (due to surgery, see previous post) I am trying to determine my BMR. I’ve gained 13 lbs thanks to the ‘rona so I’m looking at dieting to lose a few pounds.

I did a little googling and found this:

https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/bmr-katch-mcardle

Using the calculator, my BMR is 1671 so I need my daily calories to be less than that :wtf I’ll give it a shot because my pants are goddamn tight :laughing

I went on two walks today so I’ll provide a report:

is there a reason you couldn't do lower body workouts (it sounds like surgery was upper)? also, could i recommend that you increase your protons? typically after surgery, you want to eat sufficient calories and higher proton than normal. there's a series on it from a god in the strength/PT world if you're so inclined:

there's like 10 videos he put out on the topic beginning with this one (he blowed out his knee in a skiing accident):

Yeah, surg was upper. Doc said don’t do anything for 3 weeks or I’ll put strain on the area that was sliced open. Thanks for link.
