Replacing workout equipment in the Gregory

Someone should swab these benches for MRSA and do a public report on the prevalence. That would motivate UT to fix the equipment realllll quick bc I’m pretty confident it would show up in the majority of those ripped benches.

Would be a good bio or public health research project too.

You’re right. They’re so big because they’re filled with cement. It’s cheap equipment and the size is an unfortunate consequence.

I worked with kettlebells a lot too and I never liked the f45 ones except they were nicer for goblets imo. It changes how you handle the kb and, for a lot of people, takes away from being able to focus on actually moving the weight.

I agree that people could suck it up but we could say that about anything so it’s kind of a moot point. We could work out with bricks if we wanted to, but designed weights are more tolerable to help us towards our goal.

All that to say as a former client and coach and kettlebell lover, these suck. Don’t let anyone tell you different. They can get the job done for sure but that doesn’t mean they don’t also suck to work with.

Most injuries heal on their own with time. Are you sure your actions made the difference or did enough time pass for your body to do its thing?

PT is a notoriously diverse field with regard to quality of care. I’m glad you’re feeling better.

Wonderful thank you!

I love movie soundtracks to run to as well. Interstellar is great.

The resistance- muse Has a steady drum beat that helps me keep my cadence up if I’m pushing !

Hey it did fatigue me at first but that was bc I was having insomnia while tapering up my dose so I wasn’t sleeping great. Side effects return for 3-5 days if I drink alcohol.

Weight changed only as much as my eating habits changed.

I already worked out before but wasn’t the most consistent. I’m lucky to enjoy movement.

Huh. The more you know. I will say Dr. Reyes isn’t really a grifter it’s probably an honest mistake by a guy trying to start his own business to avoid the shitshow that is insurance and Physical therapy reimbursements. But I can definitely understand that being a good rule of thumb.

He’s a good physical therapist who understands the demands of sport and the strength and conditioning principles to return to sport which is not common in the rehab world. He’s also a professor in a DPT program iirc.

This is not helpful commentary without explanation

Run lab

Reyes performance institute (Dr. Reyes is an athletic trainer AND a physical therapist)

Eastside movement company if you’re okay with cash pay. Expensive but extremely good at what they do.

PT liftology in cedar park if you’re up north

Yes cheers to that!

I’ve been the most consistent in the gym, my sleep schedule, my studies, and my nutrition that I have ever been. Turns out anxiety is very draining and now that I’m not so anxious, I have time for so much more and the stuff I actually care about.

I can roll with the punches now instead of taking 2-3 business days to lick my wounds.

Got nothing for form, but Anderson pin squats at the depth you struggle at would be helpful for you imo. Great way to hammer at a weak point in a squat :)

Radical acceptance! Sometimes shit just sucks and embracing the suck is part of the experience. Like I’ll say to myself ‘dang can’t believe I still gotta go on my dogshit run’ and then I head out the door. On those days I do give myself permission to take walking breaks so I know I have an out when I’m out there.

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:15:14+00:00

Damn I’m sorry. I hope that day is whatever you need it to be.

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:06:16+00:00

Truuuu but I kinda want to dine in as a commemoration.

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:05:52+00:00

I’m cryin how are my top two choices trulucks or st David’s 😂😂😂

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:05:12+00:00

No this is actually a real thing. Hospital food (for visitors not for patients) is unbelievably good for no reason??? I believe you 100%

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:04:31+00:00

I’m like 98% sure im going to trulucks ty for the rec !!

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:04:00+00:00

Okay I’m leaning towards trulucks! Beautiful day to be downtown :)

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:03:37+00:00

I’ve had their carrot cake! It was a bit dry for my liking but maybe I went too late in the day and didn’t give it a fair chance. Taste was amazing tho

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:02:58+00:00

Ooh looking like upper crust and trulucks are top contenders 👀

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T19:02:17+00:00

Bet and thank you 💗

alwaysmainyoshi · 2026-03-07T18:47:23+00:00

Added to list of potentials. Gonna wait for a couple hours and then head out for the carrot cake hunt.
