Dark_Knight Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Just found out I have covid. I’ve been working 80+ hr weeks too. It’s been terrible for my fitness. I told myself I was going to stop doing this and pursue another career. Gotta follow through. But anyways hoping I don’t lose too much size or strength. Time will tell.

Yeah, I got really sick, lost a little weight, gains kinda went out the window, but you'll bounce back pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 @Dark_Knight My only input is if any respiratory issues or palpitations etc take it slow to get back to full on training. Side note - angry drunken latina sniz is cure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 When I had the covids I had 2 rough days but was able to get back into light cardio without any crazy shortness of breath or coughing fits while I finished up my quarantine time.

Tested negative. Just light work to get my blood flowing again. I am exhausted but hopefully the fatigue subsided over the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 I have been struggling a bit guys - making jiu jitsu at least once a week (should be 3x). Lifting at work but not Mon - Fri like I should be and lacking on cardio. Diet slacking too - pretty much fucked off my last self imposed 30 days of cardio. I need to get back on track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareOnElmStreet Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Big large buddy of mine got deep in this ju jujitsu thing about 6/8 months back and he’s a whole different person. Dude goes 6 days a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Still swimming open water three times per week. I swam a 3K race recently and will probably swim a 5K soon. I have not been able to move the needle on getting back into walking and hiking though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Running a marathon relay with my buddy in 2 months. Essentially means I run 13.1 and he runs 13.1. Could just run a half together but we want to try to get a cumulative time. Losing weight and not weight training as much, but it will come back when I want it. I hate running. But the high is great feeling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndv Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I am back on entertaining the though in purchasing Tonal. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I took a five minute look at the tonal product. I suspect that it is only in it's first form and that the next reveal is that it is actually a masturbation platform once a couple more attachments are purchased. Looks like an expensive road to disappointment and regret. That is just my opinion, I like the ritual of going places and or being around and with people. If I were the type to get fit all alone on my floor the convict conditioning book casek passed me a decade ago would have me ripped and doing one arm headstands and shit by now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Back in the pool after a week of being sick, good to get after it during this most challenging time of the year to keep up the fitness routine. Hope none of you guys are pussing out to hard because of the weather, family commitments or any other excuses. Get some. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 I got back on the mats today after too long…..probably like a month off. Going to get back to the weights at work too. Thanks for the motivation @morton - we need that energy around here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Jiu jitsu has been 2x a week lately - fasting 13hrs but starting next week I am going to push it out to 16 hours daily. Hope everyone staying in motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Picked up a sweet sports injury playing rec league (broken rib probably) so that's less than ideal. Light cardio it is for the foreseeable future! Edited January 14, 2023 by metronome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 So I started swimming with this club in like June of 2021, three times a week, open water in the summer, pool in the winter. When I started it was my goal to complete all sets in a workout on the send offs; right before Christmas I did it. I had pretty much given up on it and when it happened I assumed that the workout was a fluky easy one. Now however I am finishing maybe a third to half of all workouts, it is like I finally picked up enough speed. 18 months into the routine and still making incremental progress. I think sometimes that the internet and some media like books and whatnot set unreasonable expectations, like transformation photo sequences from fatty to fit and promises that if you buy into the hype you will be ripped in 163 days or whatever. Like so many things in life however it may be that a positive feedback loop in life takes a long time to get moving. Not like a negative feedback where your consequences can be almost immediate and compounding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Been consistent since the new year - Jiu Jitsu 2x weekly, lifting 3x and adding in a couple days of cardio when I am not on the mats. Eating better and trying to watch my calories within reason, fasting around 13 hours daily. Lets fucking go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Lifting, jiu jitsu, fasting - some cardio on the slow days. Get after it lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
