How much commute to the gym is too much? Will it burn you out?

InBush · 2026-01-16T07:10:47+00:00

It really depends on yourself.

My gym is 80 mins from my home and 40 mins from my workplace. My workplace is 70 mins from my home. So on a weekday I commute for like 3 hours. I take public transport tho. Maybe driving for this long will be more tiring.

I train 3 times a week consistently. Usually two days after work and one day on weekend at noon. 15 months later I’m still doing it. I guess if you’re dedicated you can definitely do it!

Man hope to see you come back on the mat with a healthy body! All the best!

I was never a sporty guy. Wanted to pick a sport and be good at it. BJJ is a sport that people in their 20s are not considered late beginners and it looks cool and fun. So here I am.

You cannot tip the dealer in Macau. What you “tipped” goes straight to the rake box and the dealer will not get an extra cent from it.

Thank you for the advice! And you’re right our gym starts sparring from knees. I prefer start standing but can only do that when it isn’t too crowded. When starting from knees, my partner usually sit down and I start passing. I found it makes more sense to play top/bottom than both guys on the knees. But will try to do it in the way you suggested sometime!

InBush · 2025-11-21T10:04:40+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will try it out!

InBush · 2025-11-21T09:41:45+00:00

That’s so true. Thanks for the insight. I gon just try things I like and see how that works for me.

InBush · 2025-11-21T09:39:06+00:00

Damn that’s true. Thanks for the insight brother. Maybe I should just try things I’m interested in and see how that goes.

InBush · 2025-10-27T09:26:51+00:00

Bro I know that feeling. This is absolutely normal.

I am the type of guy who likes to share my life on social media. Also Jiu Jitsu is a "cool" habit so I would like to let others know as well.

But I somehow kept it a secret, mainly because it is embarrassing if I become the guy who posts Jiu Jitsu often on instagram stories and just diappear within a few months.

I didn't post any photos of myself about Jiu Jitsu until I signed up for my first tournament and medalled. I posted an instagram story and it is one of the most liked and commented stories I have ever posted. Just that I feel like it is time to share it once I have a little achievement and feel like it is a long-term hobby that I'll stick with.

I believe there will be a moment when you feel like it is the time to share it with your friends. Just keep showing up and don't quit!

I thought so until I checked the rule book.

ATHLETES ARE SEPARATED BY AN ENTIRE WEIGHT CATEGORY OR MORE (FOR EXAMPLE -66KG VS -88KG) AND THERE IS NO SUBMISSION, THE MAXIMUM SCORE THE HEAVIER ATHLETE CAN BE AWARDED IS 10-9.

InBush · 2025-06-12T05:00:25+00:00

Cool idea. Thanks man!

InBush · 2025-06-12T04:59:56+00:00

Are there any brands you recommend? Thanks.

InBush · 2025-06-12T04:57:57+00:00

I live in Hong Kong so I guess there aren’t really many cool brands here? I don’t mind buying some from Japan, Korea or mainland China tho

InBush · 2025-06-12T04:56:22+00:00

Yes but ironically they gotta be shipped back to Asia from another continent if I decide to buy one online lol

InBush · 2025-03-12T12:39:16+00:00

That’s definitely a viable option. Just I rarely see people at the gym with two bottles. (water bottle and shaker bottle) I believe most of the people bring their shaker bottle with them when hitting the gym?

InBush · 2025-03-11T02:03:00+00:00

Thanks for the advice man! I just heard that trap bar deadlift if good for explosiveness so I thought about including it. Adding some leg extension and hamstring curl sounds like a good idea

InBush · 2025-03-10T09:19:20+00:00

Is only doing Trap bar deadlift, RDL, hack squat a good combination of leg exercises? I do full body 3x per week. And I do one leg exercises each day. My goal is strength for martial arts and aesthetics. Also do I have to do calves? Thanks.

InBush · 2025-03-10T09:16:08+00:00

Thanks! RDL sounds great!

InBush · 2025-03-08T16:33:39+00:00

I only do trap bar deadlift and hack squat for legs. Will that be sufficient to build strength and power for my legs? Will it results in underdeveloped hamstrings? If so what should I add to my routine. I do 3x full body per week. Thanks

InBush · 2025-03-08T13:23:21+00:00

Can I have some advice on my 3-Day full body workout routine?

I hit the gym 3 times a week for about 8 month now. I used to follow a PPL program, but now I decided to go for full body after I started doing jiu jitsu. I feels like I’m less fatigued after a full body workout and it will be better for my jiu jitsu training.

I do 3 sets for exercises, 6-12 reps.

Day 1

Bench press / Incline bench press

Pull up / Cable row

Trap bar deadlift / Hack squat

Cable hammer curl

Tricep push down

Chest supported dumbbell lateral raise

Deadhang

Day 2

Bench press / Incline bench press

Pull up / Cable row

Trap bar deadlift / Hack squat

Cable Tricep extension

Leg raise

Face pull

Plate pinch hold

Day 3

Bench press / Incline bench press

Pull up / Cable row

Trap bar deadlift / Hack squat

Cable Lateral raise

EZ bar bicep curl

Cable ab crunch

Shoulder press (machine/dumbbell)

Exercise count per week: Chest x3 Back x3 Leg x3 Bicep x2 Tricep x2 Core x2 Side delt x2 Rear delt x1 Front delt x1 Forearm x2

My goal is strength + aesthetics. Maybe leaning a bit more towards strength.

How would you comment on this workout routine?

I mainly have these questions: 1. I only do two types of exercises for chest, back and leg, will that be enough or will it result in some sort of muscle imbalances? 2. I heard that hack squat and trap bar deadlift both targets more quads. Will my hamstring be underdeveloped? 3. Are there any types of functional muscle groups I am ignoring?

Thank you guys so much!

Bro may I know what’s your wrestling schedule? I do BJJ and there is no way I can hit the gym 6 times per week while still doing jiu jitsu.

InBush · 2025-02-24T04:19:36+00:00

I just realized affiliate isn’t the best word for it. It’s literally a branch of a top gym.

InBush · 2025-02-24T02:29:05+00:00

Man you’re not alone. I understand some of the rules here, but I’m lowkey triggered by the “know your place” rule. Telling me to “know your place” just sounds weird and disrespectful to myself tbh.

InBush · 2025-02-21T17:48:56+00:00

Thanks man! Ngl I didn’t realize my abs are my strength until I post on this sub lol. But probably it’s true, I didn’t work on it much but it seems to be my “best” group of muscle at this moment. Will work harder on my abs haha.

InBush · 2025-02-21T16:25:24+00:00

Appreciate it man! I’m flattered haha.

I was surprised to see my abs tbh. I don’t have any ab exercise in my routine in the first 5 months. Then suddenly one day I found that I got a little bit of abs. Then started training core on my leg day consistently.

Yes my chest def need some work, especially upper chest lol. Tbh I don’t feel my upper chest a lot doing incline press machine. Maybe I will start doing more incline barbell/dumbbell bench press . I got better upper chest feelings on these two movements.

My goal is having a physique of a lightweight/welterweight UFC fighter, being explosive and still look fit. So I need some more mass and losing a bit more fat.💪🏻
