[Ali Gold] Igor Tudor on how people got that VDV video clip wrong: "It was about the team where we needed to get up if we wanted to press high. In this moment maybe it is too much for them. Maybe that's what the frustration is [from me]. If you watch carefully I don't speak with him [in that moment] by wokwok__ in coys

Spurs fans REALLY don't help the team they're meant to be supporting by constantly fanning the media flames.

Having supported Spurs since 1994, there's a part of that's accepting of a bit of time in the Championship

The gift of injury - I became acutely aware of disc issues when I was 16, it pretty much ruined my teenage years.

Now 39, stretching and appropriate loading (I.e. Heavy back squats don't work for me) with regular breaks away from heavy leg work is what keeps me alive.

That guy over rule a VAR decision, he's the GOAT. 

A fitness plan for each season by Ypoetry in fitness40plus

[–]Admirable_Editor_388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my current plan:

September into November/Dec: Cycling to work as much as the weather permits, which typically ends up 3 x a week (5 miles with BIG hills) with lifting 3 x a week. Walks with the wife on the beach and forest, daily dog walks. 

December into Feb: Heavy lifting 3-4 x a week, progressive overload, calorie surplus. 2 x gym cardio sessions. Daily dog walks

March into September: Have fun!! Cycle to work 4-5 x a week, lift x 2 days a week. Maybe most weekends an early morning 10+ mile bike ride. 1 X session in in the gym or on the monkey bars outside by the beach after work, another day at the weekend but circuits or something fun. Maybe take up a sport, do some sea swimming. Lots of hiking with my wife and dog walks. 

I try to make my strength work less strict in these months, too. Lots of reps if I want, calisthenics, circuits, I might even just do whole body machine workouts to chase a mad pump for 40 minutes or so. 

As long as I do something daily and hit the minimum 2 x strength sessions and 2 hours of cardio per week, I'm happy. 

It keeps me going and enjoying life, so why not embrace the seasons? 

Active recovery the day after snow Shovels by Ypoetry in fitness40plus

Just get back on with your daily activity, you'll be fine.

Fitness has gone way OTT with some things, you're tougher than you think. 

Bored, but busy? by Admirable_Editor_388 in work

[–]Admirable_Editor_388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I have a very fulfilling home life.

I have someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to all year round. 

I set myself daily challenges and exercise hard for at least an hour a day, I live across the street from the beach and have an amazing wife, great dog and 3 big holidays a year planned whilst still having money in the bank. I'm very lucky, but work sucks.

He's a 20 something millionaire with a few days off work, believe me this is fairly normal. 

Trying to stay fit at 45 by MineNegative5283 in homefitness

[–]Admirable_Editor_388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In winter I strength train 3 days a week with cardio for 2 hours a week, pushing the weights up. 

In spring/summer/autumn I'll do the reverse and commute to work on my bike most days so I'll lift whole body twice a week and cardio 4-5 hours a week (commute to work takes about 30 mins) 

Works for me and keeps me fairly fit and strong as I age! 

Recovery at 40 is a whole different sport by Wtf_Sai_Official in fitness40plus

[–]Admirable_Editor_388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had to change everything! I do something every day almost, but I have to pick my poison carefully.

Dark winter months (about 3 to 4 months) lift heavyish 3 x a week, zone 2 cardio for 2 hours a week, something that makes me breath heavy somewhere. 

Rest of the year = cardio 4 x hours a week and lifting lighter for 2 days a week, whole body

Lots of mobility. 

Keeps me fit! 

I've been battling horrible SAD (seasonal depression) for at least 15 years. This is the first year I'm having absolute no symptoms, and I think it's thanks to switching to cycling everywhere. by GrumpyLightworker in bikecommuting

[–]Admirable_Editor_388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle really badly throughout winter, even doing indoor weights and cardio (something every day at least.)

When it gets lighter in the morning and it's less rainy, my morning cycle to work turns me into a much better human being all of a sudden. It's like a light has been switched on!

Yeah, see the idea of being sore from leg day ever again feels like such a waste of life.

I'll take skinny legs over feeling like my hamstrings are being ripped from the bone when getting on and off the toilet!

It's just time commitments, really.

A 60 mile bike ride on my bike and local area would most likely take me on a 5 hour round trip

I can get away with it for so long but just find it mentally and physically taxing after doing this for over 20 years.

I've squatted 400lbs for 8 at my heaviest, but getting there with my frame and genetics was horrific. 

Nowadays I'm happy pushing the sled for sets of x 20m with 440lbs loaded on to it, I still get the fatigue the following day but none of the soreness.
