I hit 100 rides on peloton today. 96 days after we got it. down 15 or so pounds. guess I’ve got the right type of brain worms that pedaling with a leaderboard is the thing that gets me moving.

its a 7 minute ride and the "ton of poo poo" is a pair of $20 gloves and a pair of $15 leggings

you also won't freeze in 50 degree weather. you'll be fine.

i don't give a poo poo what works for you, cold wind + riding or running makes my ears pressurize worse than any plane ride ever has. i'm not suffering through an hour of pure agony because you decide i need to.

that's fine but i wasn't talking to you i was talking to the person who only had a mile to go.

lol as if i can make decisions for you. if you don't give a poo poo then why post and engage in a social thread? i don't need to be attacked either. anyway....

GO OUTSIDE! or don't, it's up to you and what you're comfortable with

have only had a few climbing sessions under my belt and managed to send my first v4's since the car accident last year. took longer than i needed to to restart my membership but feel like im getting strength back pretty quick. dont feel like i lost much in the way of technique, on account of it being bad beforehand anyways. :toot: feels good.

i've been doing stuff with resistance bands 4-6 time a week and it's worked better than any weightlifting plan I've done before in growing my upper body

now i look like a small guy who doesn't lift, which is a big improvement over looking like I have some kind of degenerative illness

tennis elbow is back, which means i have to not lift, which is unacceptable

My trainer is having me do all these extremely slow tempo reps (stuff like a squat with a 3 second descend and a 3 second hold at the bottom), and while I do think that it is helping my strength it is also just the least pleasant thing in the world. I've got my monthly meeting set for this Friday, and I'm going to see about getting more conditioning built in to the program, since that is definitely where I'm weakest.

I am not a doctor etc. but have you tried the theraband flexbar for this?

I would also get a lacrosse ball and roll out your triceps real good

c lift s: pre covid my baseline for deadlifts was 3 plates (315lb/142.8kg, meaning the minimum i would do in a set of 3) but lockdown + omicron + holiday binging set me way back to start over in january

we’re back baby, wish i could improve my grip without using tape/powder though, i get mad calluses on my palms

I solved my deadlift grip issues by using a hook grip. It hurts like all hell, but I've never had it fail. (I'll go for a mixed grip if I'm going for a max, and that feels like a holiday after the hook grip.)

Hook grip is great, it's what I learned deadlifting with. I was told especially at the higher weights that you have a pretty high chance of tearing your bicep tendons with a mixed grip.

I only have the blue one, which is the most resistance. I don't think starting with blue is a good move, but I also don't have direct experience with the others. from googling a bit it looks like yellow is for grandmas or people with really bad tendonitis. I'd probably start with red if it's bad enough that you've stopped lifting entirely
