cheers man :slight_smile:

I found the first month or so pretty shit tbh - knowing my habits and that it could all go tits up at any moment. gets easier and even enjoyable once you get into a routine and create little milestones for yourself. like, I want to run this distance or I want to lift this weight. also use myfitnesspal to track calories and exercise.

scheduling treat days every week is probably the most important thing, actually.

honestly, if I can shift a few pounds and peel myself from the couch, anyone can. rooting for you man :slight_smile:

all the rest are quite boring. running and swimming - imagining i’m in the olympics.

People who use the bar to chest press/squat/overhead press, do you need someone to spot for you? I’m going to try and work some bar stuff into my workout next year as I’m just using dumbbells atm, and I’d like to mix it up to make it more interesting. Just a bit terrified of the thing calling on top of me :grimacing:

squat / ohp - no
bench - sometimes

i always use a bench that has safetys so that i can’t drop it on my face, so no need for a spotter. but if I’m on a bench without one and going for a max / amrap set then I’ll ask for one.

people are usually happy to do it

its the squat that I’m most worried about doing tbh. just seems like a pretty nasty way to do your back in if you fail a rep.

#2066

yeah, that’s the thing

if you’re squatting high bar it’s really easy to chuck the bar if it goes wrong, low bar can be more difficult. you can always practice bailing with the empty bar before you load it up. it’s not that difficult.

I guess we now know that you’ve got japes on mute…

You still see threads started by muted users. It’s quite annoying.

(it’s was a joke, because @japes post is immediately above @Scout’s, but now I’m wondering whether he has been muted…)
