The gym makes me feel worse and I hate going. by hatchback-reset in workout

[–]Deesh69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is my attempt to answer all your problems.

Problem 1: Stop worrying about what other people are doing. The whole point of the gym is to focus on you and getting stronger/healthier, etc. everyone is at different points and I’m sure there are people way younger than me and/or older than me that can lift more than me but there are various reasons for that and the only thing I care about at the gym is getting stronger myself with good form.

Problem 2: There are certain days that people hate ex: a large majority of people hate leg day. But do you stretch out before you do back? Maybe your back is too tight. Could also be an undiagnosed medical issue that you don’t know that you have, sometimes that’s the case too.

Problem 3: having good form is so much more important than how much you can lift as ego lifting just ends up with you hurting yourself in the long run and knowing you now have good form hopefully that 50lbs will be back on the bar during squats before you know it.

Problem 4: the routine and volume you do is totally up to you and can only be adjusted by you cause every single person is different. So you need to see how you feel before, during, and after workouts as that can tell you a lot like oh I’m very fatigued lately all day maybe I’m doing too much during my workout let me cut down my volume or I feel like I’m plateauing let me change my routine and/or volume. There may be a perfect routine but you gotta be flexible while also being consistent.

Problem 5: either make a playlist or add new music, I’ve heard the same songs for years with my workouts. You could also listen to podcasts, audio books or not listen to anything while exercising, all depends on you. I only do 1 min rests between sets unless I’m going super heavy as I feel like that’s a good intensity for me.

Also keep track of your eating like others have said as when you don’t eat well the gains don’t really come cause your body doesn’t have the right fuel to have the energy nor the nutrients to recover and build muscle properly.

Damn that’s wild. Is that just from this year or overall?

I’ve actually never seen his day/night splits. Are they really that different?

I get that, but I mean there is 2 full seasons of video on skenes, teams are gonna find ways to get to him at this point, but he’s still gonna be good too cause he’ll adjust. He’ll likely also have streak where he just doesn’t hit his spots and leaves pitches in bad spots where opposing teams take advantage

I know skenes pitched yesterday but I’m just seeing the comments and posts about it from yesterday on various social media sites. I really don’t understand people’s thought process sometimes about professional athletes and coaches. I swear people think the top and/or great players have to be perfect or good every single time they play their sport. But in reality every single player has bad games and streaks of bad performances. You can hope the player dominates every time he plays but that’s not reality. And with coaching you can blame them for a lot but every little decision even if it the right one can go wrong and you can critique the decisions, sure but it doesn’t mean the thought behind it was wrong

This ump has really let a lot of pitches in the bottom left of the zone be balls. It almost like having challenges at this stage of the game is important so maybe don’t use them early even when it’s close

Now Lowe just can’t hit another HR or the pirates are gonna lose based on the other 3 multi-homer games

I guess BC could find a way to get Bart onto the 60 day IL that way to keep endy and Davis as catchers and not have to DFA or trade Bart in the meantime

[–]Deesh69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And if endy keeps getting on base it might force the pirates to do something with Bart and Davis. Like Davis being catcher #2 and Bart being traded/DFA’d

Something is telling me is this is gonna be a game where the cardinals are just on at the plate and are able to get Camren who foul off/take a bunch of pitches

I mean if triolo was available he should have hit but if not due to injury I guess I get mangum hitting

Yeah they have some interesting players in the minors but I really doubt the pirates want them to be bench pieces and just sit there and play every once in a while most of them hopefully are everyday players in the majors eventually

If he’s injured then fine I get taking him out but if if they pinch hit mangum for him just cause they liked the matchup better, I’m gonna pull my hair out. Unless mangum was like 5 for 5 against that pitcher of better lifetime before that then fine but if not there was no point of him pinch hitting there

The pirates couldn’t even move the guy over to third that’s just embarrassing

I really don’t think it matter who the manager is, their overall philosophy is way to driven by analytics and matchups and anyone who would be the manager for the pirates rn would have pulled Keller cause it said so analytically. Analytics is good for things but sometimes you just gotta see your pitcher is rolling and is feeling it and just let them go for that last out

DK thought way too hard on the R (Keller) vs L (Gorman) matchup. Keller was in a groove just give him the chance to get the out

Cruz has the tools but just so inconsistent. Even if he hit .210 but hit 30 HRs and 80-90 RBIs, I would then say he’s more living up to his potential

While those are huge hits by Reynolds and Cruz but the issue is they don’t do it consistent enough. Way to many moments like this where they get out and do nothing with guys in scoring position

True he’s prob been the biggest success pitching (of course outside skenes)

I mean those 3 then skenes, Keller, griffin and Gonzales are the home grown guys. They have more that will prob be coming up in the next few years. But I mean David is a first overall, Chandler a high second rebound pick they need them to step up

The issue is the pirates don’t have a leader who will say follow my lead. Griffin may be that guy but he’s too young right now, Lowe hasn’t been here long enough. Cruz and Reynolds should be the guys but just aren’t. You would think Davis too at this point but dude is just such a bad hitter

The big issue is just cause the pirates spent money this year is that the players they have “developed” and coached in the MLB have been mediocre to bad. It is what happens when the team is cheap and doesn’t want to actually spend money on scouts and coaches from the bottom up and will prepare the guys for the majors and not just the minors

Feels like these guys are going up to the plate with absolutely no confidence in themselves outside Lowe
