New Rule: posting on health/fitness

That video is one of the sickest things I have seen in a while. Motivating.

Its amazing to see super bulked up guys working on agility and speed. Awesomeeeee…

you got me. Part of my body does resemble a baby’s arm…holding an apple.

Admittedly, that comeback was weak. Work on it Charlie…

You lol’d. It’s ok to admit it.

^ well it would have to be a proportionate apple…otherwise you’ve got a weird mushroom dick

obviously. it’s more of a crab apple. I’ll post a picture shortly.

anyone belong to a posh fitness club? wondering if you guys think the experience is worth the fees.

^ depends on what your goals are - if you’re there to actually workout, then no. If you’re there to meet people/network, then yes.

Hell no. A garage full of free weights and chains and some good bars and shit should be far superior to all the uppity stuff and garbage Smith machines and equipment those posh places add on. I only need a bar and stall bars for my own workouts, but I appreciate this much about weight lifting.

Also I worked on a buyout of a bunch of gyms. Interesting thing to think about is that we’d lose money on the average customer if they all came all the time but the people who sign up in January and dont go subsidize everyone else.

oh my god, you’re so hard.

has anyone ever done heavy squatting after taking 50 mg of viagra. I gotta admit, some of the best workouts ever while on that stuff.

i fucked up my feet yesterday from running about 10 miles at the beach. i have pain at the sole of my feet. so i have to go light for a week or two. word to the wise. dont over do it.

Ikr no-one harder than sell side researchers.

But for real free weights ftw

Weights, chains, and bars? That’s sissy stuff. This is how real men workout.

^ Mma, sprints, endurance push-ups and sit-ups and gymnastics style strength training. Cool. My workouts are actually all gymnastics specific without weights so it’s always good to see a real athlete who isn’t hitting the weights. Impressive numbers for a 53 year old.

what about experiences at a club with racquet sports leagues etc. primarily looking at competitive squash/tennis which would be around 75% of the time i spend there. not much of a free weights kinda guy.

You’d probably be better off than the vast majority of people. Finding something you enjoy and being able to stick with it is the most important thing.

If you’re playing a sport you love and staying in shape it’s a win win.

with squash you basically have to join a club, not really with tennis though.

I was a member at Equinox in NYC for four years. I really liked it. The funny thing is though is that MMA gyms a lot of times cost more than posh fitness clubs.

Do you mean a racket club or something? Either way, I found they are great for meeting people and networking. It’s mostly guys at a free weights gym / MMA gym.
