Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Serious]

So I've been to lazy to drive to the gym the past couple months. (5 minutes away)

So I started going ham with the pull up bar at home and doing resistance training at the fitness center in my apartment complex(less than 50 feet away from door) and it's been piff.

No drop off in size. Still missing the gym, just can't bring myself to deal with parking and walking through the mall. Or even the offset possibility of the gym being slightly crowded.

What love about my fitness center is that its never crowded. And I know all the tricks to using machines properly.


Still dying to squat, deadlift, and power clean...

Put my pull up and dip game are on point. My arms are massive as fukk from that combo....

Ugh, is it strange i cant stand regular water? Like. I find it hard to get daily water intake.

I'm thinking about getting a whole bunch of crystal lights/ flavoring packets. I wonder would that do any good? Has anyone tried that yet?

Put in some work on the incline bench today. Wasn't expecting to get that many reps at that weight.

Anyone got a spin bike at home or do it alone at the gym? I want to get one, but I think it's the group dynamic that really pushes me in spin class (and that I enjoy - I really hate that group workouts/classes are my fave, it keeps me from working out at home) , don't know I'd go as hard solo.

I fukk with these heavy:



I try to drink about two liters of pure water a day and another two of these.

Keep in mind they have artificial sweeteners, in case you have any problems with that.

No, I dont have any problems with artificial sweetener. I personally don't think they make a difference.

And thank you for the advice.

2 liters
Try two gallons


and I cant fukk with that shyt, it nearly triggered a toothache in my mouth.

If I really need to enhance the taste of water, I'll just squeeze a lemon into my water jug...

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Try two gallons

No

i really don't get people who dont like water...and i dont understand the need to sweeten it. it, along with walking more, is literally the easiest, simplest thing to integrate into maintaining/improving health.

one, simply challenge yourself to drink water - set a recurring alarm, 10oz every 2 hours/ (5 oz every hour - basically one big gulp of water) - that's 80oz a day for the 16 hours most people are awake. once you train yourself to drink water you'll come to always drink/desire it.

two, why not take a natural (chemical free approach) such as drinking tea and/or making big jugs of iced tea (sugar free)

three, why not look into an infuser water bottle (put citrus, berries, veggies, herbs, whatever in it and flavor your water that way)

lastly, why not look into unsweetened carbonated water or still waters - hint water makes a ton of flavors in still or sparkling and i love la croix sparkling water.

edit: or chew gum while drinking water and let the minty taste wash down
