Well I don’t think I am but surely I must be. I push myself every time and I end up fucking knackered. Suppose you’ve always got to have a challenge?

Climbing gym 3 or 4 times a week. Have free weights at home so do a mix of press-ups and shoulder weights on ‘rest’ days.
I can describe my climbing gym routine but I don’t know if it is of much interest to anyone beyond (or even including sadpunk).

Had a gym membership for a bit. Hated everything about it. Football 3 times a week plus a couple of decent sized runs/bike rides

Spent a decade in the gym every lunchtime and usually after work too. Stopped it and felt and looked instantly better within a month. I think it was making me more mental rather than less and it definitely became like an addiction/ obsession.

I still do plenty of exercise but just not that kind. Sometimes I think I’d quite like to go to the odd pump or spin class but I’m quite afraid of getting suckered in again.

the gym I used to go to had people who cared so much about what they looked like while they were doing their workout (like women huddled round the mirror in the changing room applying setting spray over a full face of makeup so it wouldn’t run in pilates etc) and guys with loads of fake tan and silly topknots.

Now I’ve moved house so not near that gym anymore, but not sure I can be bothered to go to local gym which is a mammoth council run thingy.

Do lots of stuff, but recently obsessed with squats

Can do 405llbs for 3/4 ass to grass back squats and it makes all the super hench steroidy guys with noodle legs look on in sheer amazement/fear

#20

Keep meaning to do push ups etc. To get a bit of strength for footy but can never be arsed

#21

YES PLS

fwiw, my ‘routine’ is:

Monday: a few core exercises in the morning, climb and do a 10min hangboard session in the evening.

Tuesday: Press-ups, bicep curls, and one arm rows in the morning. Then lunges, reverse flyes, dips and dorsal lifts in the evening

Wednesday: a few core exercises in the morning, climb and do a campus board session in the evening (depending on fingers).

Thursday: nothing

Friday: a few core exercises in the morning, climb in the evening.

Saturday: ab rollers, pull-ups and squats

Sunday: nothing

Tuesday is the only day I use a gym and that’s the one at work, so it’s usually very quiet.

I’m going to the gym tomorrow for the first time in about 3 months! When I was going regularly, I typically did 40-60 mins on the cross trainer, 20-30 mins treadmill, 10 minutes on the weird bikes where your legs are stretched out (what are they called?), and 10-15 mins on the rowing machine. I usually just set a distance on the rowing machine and see if u can improve my time each day.

I really want to use some of the weights machines but they’re usually dominated by (do you even lift?) bros and I find it a bit intimidating. So I stick with cardio, which is ok because I’m good at cardio. I might add some spin classes in.

#23

I try to go to gym three times a week, but I normally only go twice if I’m lucky. I mainly do cardio.

I really want to try and get back in 5-aside football at some point, but I have a dodgy knee, so I’m not sure if that would be such a good idea.

#24

I go three/four times a week. It’s right at the end of my road so I don’t need to have a shower or anything there - just in and out. Quite like all the classes.

I didn’t really do any exercise, ever. Even at school I’d always bunk PE. Then I just got right into it late in life.

#25

just cancelled my gym membership coz i moved a bit too far away from it. was 12.99 a month though, ffffuuuu. gonna take up running again instead.

#26

No gym for me but between 2-5 x 5-10km runs per week depending on workload and 1/2 swims. Occasionally a few weights/sit-ups/press-ups at home or a game of tennis/badders

You’re looking increasingly shredded based on that latest vid I saw

In an average week, I will do:

1-2 fingerboard sessions.
Main routine is 5 sets of hangs. In each set I use Beastmaker 2000 and do the following hangs, aiming for 5-7 seconds, with about 2 seconds to shake out in between hangs:

  • One armer on each side (either off good holds or the middle crimp depending on how I’m feeling)
  • Index and Middle on the slopey two-finger pockets (3 seconds max on this)
  • Middle and Ring (heh) on the same
  • front three on the thin outer edges
  • back three on the same
  • all four on either the same or on the super-slopey bits
  • front lever off good holds
  • 2 minute rest

1 campus board session
One of:

  • working towards 1-5-9 on the middle rungs (best so far is 1-5-7.5) - basic strength
  • plyometrics. One hand on 1, other on 3. Dynamically swap them (so both hands are off at once) - power / contact strength
  • basic laddering - 1-3-5-7-9 on thinnest rungs into 9-7-5-3-1 on middle rungs - power-endurance

1 pure climbing session
Just working on hard climbs. Have also started doing the occasional board session (y’know, where the cool kids set their own problems) depending on how much I feel inspired to try hard on with the standard routes.
