A place where comrades can

(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

Rule:

Approach every conversation in good faith.

Hi comrades, a few months passed and I improved my workout, while in the past 2 weeks I wasn't as consistent as I would've liked I think I'm still doing good. I have yet to implement squats and the other ones cause I strained my knees too much, one of the reasons I removed the leg press; I heard its because of having flat feet?

leg curl 55kg / leg extension 3x8 ~~leg press 3x8 30kg~~ lat pulldown 3x8 40kg shoulderpress 3x8 30kg chestpress 3x8 25kg / inclinepress 3x8 25kg dumbell row curl 3x8 10kg dumbell row triceps exercise (no idea how its named) 3x8 15kg biceps curl barbell 20kg 3x8 / skull crushers 3x8 10kg ~~middle chest 5x8 12.5kg ~~smith machine mid row 3x8 35kg

The new gym I'm going at has different machines so I had to remove/replace some of the exercises. The lat pulldown one is especially harder now cause the machine is made for giants; and the shoulder press works at a different angle. It's cheaper and closer to me here, though

Yep I figured, thanks. At the moment I'm just increasing weight on my current exercises, seem to be doing okay

If that is happening, then it means you’ve built muscle and are indeed on the right track!
