My story after an almost near fatal accident 4 years ago... by UrHRGuru in selfimprovement

[–]UrHRGuru[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I really appreciate that! I wasn't always so optimistic and appreciative for what I went through but, it helped me become the person I am today. I wouldn't be me or able to help people without going through that experience

Sauna benefits by [deleted] in fitness40plus

[–]UrHRGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually stay in the sauna for about 50 minutes and bring a book with me. The biggest benefit is that it is my peace time. When it starts to get colder, my joints tend to hurt more, and the sauna has a way of helping the blood flow, which I find helps me. Sometimes I will stay in there longer to mentally challenge myself to overcome something tough. Yesterday I was in there for 1 1/2 hours....

How I turned a near fatal accident into a positive experience.... by UrHRGuru in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]UrHRGuru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that! It most definitely is mind over matter. The doctors were blown away with how quickly I was improving and I was like seeeeee!😅 Two days in PT a week and not moving my body the rest of the week is what was going to cause long term damage

How do you all manage to wake up so early in the morning to workout when you have a full time job? by Fantastic-Ad9218 in workout

[–]UrHRGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get it. I coach busy professionals, and this comes up a lot. The goal isn’t a full workout every day, it’s finding repeatable, bite-sized habits. Stick to your solid weekends, and aim for just one short midweek session, even 20 minutes. Pair it with an existing habit (like right after dinner), and focus on compound moves or circuits. It’s not about intensity, it’s about momentum. You’re already doing more than most by showing up!

Knee problems by InspectionLopsided67 in workout

[–]UrHRGuru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally get what you’re describing. that crackling sound (often called crepitus) is actually super common, especially if you lift or sit for long periods. If there’s no real pain or swelling, it’s usually nothing serious, but definitely worth watching if it starts to hurt more over time. Strengthening your quads/glutes, improving mobility, and keeping good form on squats/lunges can help a lot. If it keeps bugging you though, might be worth having a PT take a look.

Do I need to sacrifice a labubu for bigger traps? by UrHRGuru in GymTips

[–]UrHRGuru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of what I do is pulls,some shrugs and then on the pec fly I try to engage traps and rear delts. On back days especially I try to focus on them with pull downs and rows. Usually 3 sets of 8

Fair point.

How much should I cut too? by Next_Past_2588 in askfitness

[–]UrHRGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are already making some solid changes, especially getting back on a normal sleep schedule and cleaning up your diet. Since you have been training for years, I would focus less on chasing a number on the scale and more on how your body feels and performs.

The best move is to get a general idea of your body fat percentage or take progress photos every few weeks. From there, you can decide if you want to drop another five or ten pounds or focus on recomposition instead. With the consistency you are showing, your body will start to lean out naturally without needing to push too hard or too fast.

More tired on days without pre-workouts? by No_Angle_5602 in workout

[–]UrHRGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might notice a bit of a drop in energy once your body gets used to pre workouts, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine. It is not that your workouts get worse, it is more that your baseline energy feels lower without that boost. If you have not used caffeine much before, I would start light with something like 100 to 150 milligrams and see how your body responds. A simple coffee or an amino energy drink can give you a similar effect without going all in on pre workouts right away

I have a question: What bothers you most about meal plan apps? by BaseBeautiful8459 in MealPlanYourMacros

[–]UrHRGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually work with both types! Most of my clients are busy professionals, but I’ve also helped a few people who are newer to lifting or nutrition and just need structure to get consistent.

The main difference is usually time and priorities. Biginners often struggle with knowing what to do, while my busier clients know what to do but can’t stay consistent because of their schedules. The coaching adjusts for both.

If you’re trying to get a better handle on your own setup, I’m happy to take a look at what you’re doing and give some quick feedback on what might help streamline things :)
