@Five, Seven, and Two yeah lately I'm more interested in overall health. Cardiovascular, eating healthy. Longevity.

Once you gain a nice foundation of muscle, that can go a long way.

@MufflePuff I’m turning 35 this year. Starting to get much more interested in functional strength and cardio; go figure.

Aww shit lol nice man. Thought I was older than everyone else. Just turned 31. Yeah man maintaining **long-term** health is key. The nuts and bolts, fine details.

Lateral movement’s my newest hurdle. That’s a serious sticking point for guys after 30 and a recent talk with my doc — who has some fucking *horror stories* about his longer-term athlete patients’ health — has me looking into those nuts and bolts.

I don’t want my peak earning years marred by a declining health above and beyond the usual ravages of aging.

Interesting. Were there any patterns with those athletes declines?

So, many days per week do you go to the gym?

How many’

I swing between 5-6 days. Right now its five.

Damn

I want to go also 5

But i overslep always the day after

Yeah, actually, the one my doc explicitly pointed out: they’d only do the training specific to what they were doing and that’s it. So runners and sprinters that wouldn’t introduce twist-and-turn or high mobility exercises, then trip once at 36 and that’s it. Career over.

Everyone should make it a point. I love to tell people that if you go one hour per day 365 days of the year, that's like less than 4% of your annual time.

Hmm 🤔

Very interesting.

I go around 2 to 2,5 hours each time

@Five, Seven, and Two So like, you should weight train because it makes your bones stronger, right? Because that's a theory I have. I find solace in my weight training for many reasons similar to that.

@virgil_32 nice man. I usually go like 1-1.5 hours. What is your focus lately?

Muffle is still here

I saw you at 12 am

I go around 3/4 days a week. I train endurance and strength.

I **AM** HERE

@virgil_32 nice.

I think people should start as early as possible. If nothing else (financial, economic) building your health will pay you the most in the long run.

Everyone works on everything else and then one day their health cracks and they're fucked. Glass house.

@MufflePuff His advice has regularly been to make sure I’m addressing my weak points and rotating my exercises, accordingly. Weight training’s core for that, but don’t forget exercises that move you in ways you don’t necessarily encounter on a daily basis (ie things that move you off-center).

Hm, nice.

Keep in mind, this medical advice was to me, a 30-something dude with a prior spinal injury, so ymmv.

So it might be a good idea to have different days for different types of exercise that you don't normally do. Well-rounded.

Incorporating many different things., which would actually keep it interesting

Honestly, if the advice applies to you with an injury, it probably applies to everyone because you're likely more careful and purposeful with your training.

Yeah, I’m going through my reset/relax month now (squat/deadlift/bench M/W/F, 10 min of interval cardio every day), then I’m going to change up to a daily AMRAP with a bunch of dumbell/kettlebell/ball exercises. Alternating reaches and side steps.

You're still doing much more than the average person.

Very nice.
