Classic heavy lift song for me

2018-01-19 16:46:50 UTC  

Carolus rex is another great cardio

2018-01-19 22:05:13 UTC  

my legs are still sore from working out on thursday for the first time in forever

Skyhunter by Dethklok

2018-01-20 01:30:05 UTC  

That's a good PR buster

2018-01-20 01:31:15 UTC  

Viinamäen Mies by Korpiklaani is good

2018-01-20 01:31:35 UTC  

Mirror Mirror by Blind Guardian

2018-01-20 01:33:45 UTC  

Good classical for cardio is Dvorak's "The Water Goblin, Op. 107"

2018-01-20 08:22:44 UTC  

Blind Guardian, my absolute goyim

2018-01-20 08:22:51 UTC  

nightfall in middle-earth nonetheless

2018-01-20 08:22:53 UTC  

stellar taste

2018-01-21 00:13:17 UTC  

5 minutes alone or walk by pantera, anything off the Carolus Rex album for heavy squats

2018-01-21 01:07:57 UTC  

The handshake murders- painted contortionist

2018-01-21 01:08:13 UTC  

Especially the last 45 seconds of the song

2018-01-21 01:54:38 UTC  

Feats of War - Suidakra

2018-01-21 02:37:05 UTC  

Big fights tonight. Who ya got? Miopic or Magoomba?

2018-01-21 03:29:28 UTC  

I guess listening to metal while lifting is the norm

2018-01-21 03:30:12 UTC  

Future Breed Machine - Meshuggah is incredible to workout to

2018-01-21 03:31:05 UTC  

Meshuggah is great

2018-01-21 15:32:46 UTC  

Anyone have advice on balancing workouts with an extremely labor intensive job? I've really been struggling to find a good balance

2018-01-21 15:34:23 UTC  

Note- my work days are very inconsistent in that I get moved around a lot so one day my arms can be destroyed and the next day by legs can be destroyed etc

2018-01-21 15:34:34 UTC  

Some days it's rough on everything

2018-01-21 15:35:52 UTC  

I think a 3-day lifting schedule would fit well. One day for chest/tris, another for back/bis, another for legs/core. That's what I usually do on busy weeks.

2018-01-21 15:36:42 UTC  

Go immediately before work or immediately after work. Only have caffeine or pre workout before the workout, not before work

2018-01-21 15:37:10 UTC  

I work really early in the mornings

2018-01-21 15:37:19 UTC  

So it complicates things a bit

2018-01-21 15:37:47 UTC  

With everything else in life that you have to do haha

2018-01-21 15:37:56 UTC  

Do you get 8 hours of sleep a night

2018-01-21 15:38:05 UTC  

Usually around six

2018-01-21 15:38:46 UTC  

Go right after work and bring your gym bag with you, so you don't have an excuse to go home and nap

2018-01-21 15:38:58 UTC  

I work at 4.30am and that's what I do

2018-01-21 15:40:01 UTC  

I also save my caffeine until I'm going to the gym, none in the morning

2018-01-21 15:40:30 UTC  

Nice. That coupled with a three days a week may do the trick... it's just trying to fall into a good routine that will be the issue

2018-01-21 15:42:30 UTC  

Yeah and you gotta train yourself not to make excuses and go no matter what. That was and still is the hard part for me

2018-01-21 15:42:42 UTC  

"Just a short nap", etc

2018-01-21 15:43:12 UTC  

I get up at 4:30 or 5:30 every day, too. Getting to the gym when I'm supposed to AND getting 8 hours of sleep is rough some days.

2018-01-21 15:43:19 UTC  

I can't take naps haha it's a blessing and a curse. The biggest problem for me is just simply finding the time

2018-01-21 15:44:18 UTC  

Ever since I moved and started this new job it's been pretty difficult to build up a new routine

2018-01-22 00:28:53 UTC  

@Thomas Morrow I struggle with finding time too.

I stalked Craigslist for gym equipment. 3 months later, I had 500 lbs of plates, a squat rack, bench, 2 barbells and a pullup/dip bar.

All for about $300.

Now my garage is a gym, I can always find the time, when the gym is 20 feet away. 😁

2018-01-22 00:33:24 UTC  

That'd be nice!! I'm going to just have to set a weekly goal and play it by ear week by week. I like to have a set schedule but it's looking like life isn't going to allow it for awhile
