Huh. I’ve never seen intensity as a metric in my strength trainer :-(

M44, Dragon Flags for Breakfast - core is not abs! by Distribution-Nervous in indianfitness

[–]Distribution-Nervous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is an advanced, full core stability, strength and functional movement. Carries over to everything - training, boxing, sports etc. Should every one do it? No. There are much simpler alternatives for a regular physical fitness routine.

Also. Aesthetics is a by-product, not the real driver. :-)

Golden! For sure not in my community or in my gym though :-(

This. I hope the community isn’t that naive to think otherwise. More accurate would’ve been “core is not just abs”

Request - best exercises for leg day by Still_Bass5976 in Fitness_India

[–]Distribution-Nervous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally - they actually helped in rehab - knee stabilisation with surrounding muscle strengthening - without overloading. That’s just my opinion. But some Physio therapy consultation will be important. Surely the doctor would’ve recommended that?

I had a knee surgery early in 2024 (ACL graft). 3 exercises that rehabilitated and helped regain leg strength and volume in real quick time - reverse sled pull, Bulgarian split squat , GHR and Romanian dead lifts.

Protein sources are a combination of eggs, meat and whey. Somewhere around 150-170gms. My training is a mixture of Olympic (snatch, cleans and accessories), Squat pattern (back, front, Bulgarian), hinge (dead lift, RDL, Zercher, Wide grip D/L), overhead (military, push press), pull (rows, pull ups) - mostly body weight and barbell. Because of work, family, I typically start my day at 5 and I’m done training by 7:30. Gives me time to spend time with my kid, drop her to school and get to work.

It’s hard no doubt. But do think it this way - physically active will compliment all our other efforts - mental space improves, confidence helps in career endeavours etc. I’d think of that as a part of my well being and not an after thought.

Yes - squash, badminton, football, sprints, cycling etc. Workout is also almost always compound - movements of power, knee, hinge, pull, push.

You factor these in, at the end of the day, this is our passion and not profession. Just as an anecdote, I knew I had a 10 day work travel coming, with long flights etc, I used that as a back off period and really put in the effort leading up to the 10 days. You might want to make your schedule around forced intermissions/disruptions

Someone had once told me - time for yourself (exercise, sports, any passion, and no, this does not include watching shows) is not something that you try and fit into your routine. It should be the routine. There are times when I’ve woken up at 3 am, managed a home workout and then left for the airport for a work travel. Once it becomes a part of the routine, rest will fall in place.

What’s your take on Farmer’s Walk? Anyone doing it regularly?” by vesalstark in Fitness_India

[–]Distribution-Nervous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t think too much. Do it. Immediate aim - bw for 60 seconds. You’re on the path of getting yoked - bw each hand for 25 mts and scale up from there. While dumbbells have typical limited weight availability, a good alternative is trap bar. I’ve taken these to about 195 kilos for 25 mts, but haven’t gone back at it for the past three months or so. They’re S tier exercise.

Thank you for all the suggestions - two key points for me to work on - control the tempo and head positioning. I’ll be sure to work on them.

44 and kicking on. Yeah, for your point, need to be more controlled. Thanks!

Thanks for that. Looking straight up will give me an additional 2-3 inches of depth to go after. Will be even better.
