A lot more fun than jogging unless you do it with people or have a nice hiking trail to use. I've been throwing a football around with buddies every now and then, it's very fun setting up long tosses the other person has to run for.

Do you shower in the gym or head back home to shower before going to work? I'm not sure whether public showers are clean, not to mention carrying around a bag of sweaty clothes for an entire day even if it's sealed in a plastic bag

Nitro Tech was actually the first protein powder I took way back in the day. Like around 2008 or so. I actually do remember the taste being awful but I also remember it helping me a lot in my initial year or so working out. Wouldn't recommend it now of course but I at least saw benefits.

I think that you're full of shit. I wrestled, served and have been in prison. I have never seen anyone do more than 65 with good form. And that is a one in a thousand occurrence.
>>
>>77449693
Basically this. I have seen cops and have done all the things in life where groups of men are in an area and not allowed to leave so pushups.
People are missing the "with good form" part, and I'm not talking about excessive some two second pause at the bottom.

With a slight incline I could hit 50, just flat on the ground closer to 30 with full range of motion. Been training calisthenics for a little over 2 years so I don’t even feel anything for half of the reps

Full disclosure, I was a much better than average swimmer when I was younger.

I got back in the pool after recovering from a surgery and taking a year off. I was 240 probably 40lbs heavier than I would typically be. Cardio was shit.

Started with 30mins no stop, cant touch the bottom, then 60mins, then 90mins...after a few weeks I hit 100 laps in under 100mins.

When you get tired about 20mins...dont stop...you will keep going. After 30 mins you just get used to it and keep going.

Took me about 1 hour over the course of a week to pick up all the moves I learned as a child. Your conditioning will feel shit before you get the techniques down. I swim pretty much nonstop for up to 30 minutes at most, only to catch my breath. You'll want a light meal before you go.

Overcoming isometrics consist a type of training where you put pressure on an immovable object. The most typical overcoming isometric set consists of 3-4 reps of 3-4 seconds of maximum effort pressure with 1 second rest between each rep.
Overcoming Isometrics yield high level mechanical tension (equal to isotonic exercises, which the ones where we move our body parts up and down etc.) which we now know is what causes muscular hypertrophy and strength gains, stimulating the highest threshold motor units, similarly to how the last 5 reps of an isotonic set does (according to the 5 effective reps model).

Alexander Zass is considered the father of modern day Overcoming Isometrics.

Two major benefits of major benefits are:
1. You can produce equal mechanical tension to any equivalent isotonic exercise without risking ANY injury in your tendons & ligaments.

This means that people who suffer from injury can still produce high level motor unit recruitment by working around their injury.
A personal example of mine on this is that when I suffered an infraspinatus injury and the doctor advised me to not do exercises where the arm is raised above shoulder I was still able to train front delts by full-stacking the shoulder press machine and doing an overcoming isometric press with one hand, and I was still able to train my lats in the frontal plane by doing an overcoming isometric frontal plane keenan flap sitting sideways on the preacher curl machine.
When I fully recovered and went back to isotonics, my DB shoulder press weight had increased, and my lower lats were noticeably bigger, both because of these 2 exercises.

2. Ease of use. You can have high level workouts at home without any equipment, you only need walls and maybe a towel (and some furnitures possibly, your imagination on how to create isometric exercises is the only limit). You can have fast workouts, you can train your whole body in less than 30 minutes.

I'm not really seeing how this can be true, you're still putting stress on them.
I am interested though. What would you use to train your legs? Pushing on a wall with your feet?
>>
>>77450693
This is important to consider. As well the kind of injury that results from isometrics is usually a tendon or non-muscle injury that can be worse than a muscle injury to recover from. If you're over 30 and still lifting you should make some time each week for isometrics to bulletproof your joints but you dont have to go crazy. For example do your leg extensions and then after your last set do three 30 second holds of heavy weight at half extension, rest for 20 seconds between. Same idea for all other joints.

this tard did boulder outside, stood up on the rock, lost balance and almost died/lost leg and of course wants to get right back at it ! like dog to vomit xD
IT HAPPENS A LOT, gravity is a bitch

don't climb if you're awkward imbalanced tard, and even if you aint one - just like bike riding (the motor ones - we those fast and furious organ donors here) it comes with inherent danger

Aren't mid girls the best? Always heard they actually put in effort in the bedroom and really RIDE the shit out of you. I have only ever been with one 10/10 girl and she just laid there.
