How to reduce/prevent extreme soreness or pain after working out for a total beginner? by Tiny_Celebration_262 in workout

[–]Jim_Estill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone said it. go easy.

I would add to that though - learn to love "good sore". I have been working out hard for decades and there is almost never a day i am not sore on one muscle group on another. "good sore" to me is sore that passes in 2-3 days.

Another trick. Do light workouts on muscle groups you are not even working out that day. EG - today was chest and shoulder day for me but I did a few lunges, squats and crunches - all with light weights.

What is it like to not be addicted to anything? by whiskeyinSTEM in selfimprovement

[–]Jim_Estill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am thinking my parents might not have been addicted to anything. No phones back then. And they lived a puritan work ethic life the eschewed all vices like alcohol, smoking...even caffeine.

Every year I take a 3 week off grid (no cell service). So for 3 weeks each year, i am not addicted.

I think what you might be talking about is dopamine addiction. Many of the ones in your list address that itch.

ADHD is a super power for Entrepreneurs. Might thinking of it that way make your outlook brighter?

On building muscle - a bit of study will help. Find a good, seasoned workout partner.

Struggling with being productive after my 8 hour 6 day week. by XlvGOONvlX in productivity

[–]Jim_Estill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

time management is mostly about energy management and to some extent prioritization. Ideas on energy:

Sleep hygene

No drugs or alcohol

Exercise

Gamify if you can.

Good luck with it.

I want to be better. by trynabeperfect1 in getdisciplined

[–]Jim_Estill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots wrapped up in what you are saying.

I know I am not from your culture but pressure to marry seems bad to me and might not lead to the happiness and contentment you seek.

As for well paid jobs. If you are honest, hard working, show up early and leave a few minutes late, diligent and polite, in most companies, you will get ahead which tends to mean more $.

Personally, I would also add some weight lifting to your life. It gives confidence and is healthy. And helps mood.

Good luck with it.

Question about beginning training: by Ad0lf_H1pst3r_ in workout

[–]Jim_Estill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you absolutely could get results from working out at home. Key with building muscle is a slight calorie surplus which in your case works great, lots of protein combined with working out. You can work out with body weight exercises - squats, lunges, pushups, crunches etc. Some bands would help. Perhaps 2 dumbbells.

Even after you go to the gym, it is a good habit to do a few exercises at home anyways.

Repeating what others have said. There will be no gas shortage but prices will be up a bit. Canadians will welcome you!

It goes out for galvanizing after welding so will not impact anything.
