There was a similar thread a few years ago, which seems to have died out, 'cause everyone's been lazy af.

Exercise and fitness are extremely important, not only for our physical health, but our mental health also.
The current pandemic means there's no better time to pay a little extra attention to both.

Whether you've got a goal weight you're working towards, building muscle/toning up, a novice or an expert, or maybe just trying something for fun!
Use this thread to share your workout routines, progress photos, diets/supplements, or perhaps ask others for advice.

Whatever it is you're doing, enjoy it, post it and have fun! :cool:
 
Oh yes please ..... This string should be made more public and like you said ^ Fitness and Exercise is a priority. Let’s get this and I would love to hear Workout stories, ideas and experiences as I am a fitness enthusiast (: .
 
Odd that nobody replied. It's this forsaken section.

I follow the stronglifts program.
https://stronglifts.com/5x5/
M-W-F
Lift for gains. Got tired of being asked if I was ballerina and having men use their size to fuck with me.

Cardio:
- jump rope 3x/wk right after lifting.
- running 1-2x/week, whenever I get to it.
- yoga & meditation

Weekly, at least the 3 lift sessions + jump rope without fail. If I don't get to the rest, that's fine with me.

Health + performance supplements : vitamins, collagen, iron/B complex, nootropics, coffee.
- spaced days apart so as not to accumulate or have absorption waste.
- black coffee nearly daily
- nootropic when needed
- iron/B complex during that time of the month or when fatigue hits
 
Supplements:
Multi vit x 1 daily, inclusive of...

Vitamin A 800 ug 100%
Vitamin D 10 ug 200%
Vitamin E 12 mg 100%
Vitamin K 75 ug 100%
Vitamin C 80 mg 100%
Thiamin 1.1 mg 100%
Riboflavin 1.4 mg 100%
Niacin 16 mg 100%
Vitamin B6 1.4 mg 100%
Folic Acid 200 ug 100%
Vitamin B12 2.5 ug 100%
Biotin 50 ug 100%
Pantothenic Acid 6 mg 100%
Calcium 200 mg 25%
Magnesium 100 mg 27%
Iron 14 mg 100%
Zinc 10 mg 100%
Copper 1 mg 100%
Manganese 2 mg 100%
Selenium 55 ug 100%
Chromium 40 ug 100%
Molybdenum 50 ug 100%
Iodine 150 ug 100%
Boron 0.5 mg

Omega-3 x 3 daily, inclusive of...

Total Omega 3 Fatty Acids 300 mg
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) 180 mg
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) 120 mg

The amount of EPA & DHA in Omega-3 tablets is really important. You’ll see above, they total the full 300mg, this isn’t always the case. Always check the nutritional info on supplements, as many contain unnecessary ingredients that can sometimes do more harm than good. It’s recommend most adults should consume a minimum of 250–500 mg combined EPA and DHA each day (upper limit is 5,000mg).

You’ll often see Omega-3-6-9 advertised alongside Omega-3 tablets. Often people will look for a tablet that includes “the most”, as they believe they’re getting more for their money. However, sometimes less is more.
Both Omega-3 & 6 are essential fatty acids, this means your body needs them but doesn’t create them naturally.
Omega-9 fatty acids are not essential, as your body can create them. This means you don’t need to take an Omega-9 supplement, if your body needs those fats, it’ll make them.
The majority of people (unless suffering a severe deficiency), get more than enough Omega-6 from foods eaten every day. Therefore, most people in the developed world should actually aim to reduce their Omega-6 intake if anything.

This might be a site where usually more sexual threads/posts are made but definitely your post is by far the best I've read since I created my profile.
 
A daily workout routine which I used to have...

I really don't like to workout late on the day so usually started around 7:30-8 am by doing some cardio (cycling). My progressive warm up involves ladder agility/speed drills, which is followed by dynamic stretching. After that my program has box jumps (seated, depth, while wearing a weighted vest etc etc) 4 sets of 6-8 reps. Keeping the weighted vest on sometimes I did some stair run for 6-10 sets depending on how good I felt.
That takes around 1 hour to 1:25.

Finishing that I start my weight lifting training depending on which body part my coaches want to train. Always tho it involves 4 sets of 6-8 reps of deadlifts (sometimes Romanian or single leg using kettlebells) or squats (back, front, using a box).
That is another hour to 1:30.

That's my Monday to Friday schedule.

After having a 30-45 minutes rest I start my personal basketball training which is around 2 hours. Includes lots of ball handling, dribbling and shooting drills.

That training is 3× on a week (Mon-Wed-Thur).

Getting back home I have my lunch around 2-2:30pm and that's when I also take some B-Complex vitamins.

Then I finish my day with my teams training which is a two hours one (6-8pm).

On Saturdays I have an early morning team training (around 45 minutes) and Sunday is a game day.

Wow very impressive:)...my work out is northinggggg compared to that, well tbh work life is busy...reason why I go to a 24 hour gym, which at the moment are all closed:(. So some time on the running machine skipping and cardio at home when ever I get free time in the week. Plenty of water high protein and the junk is still part of it all :p

If you're asking me it's not impressive, not at all. It needed all of my time, focus and energy and trust me I might enjoyed it (cause basketball is my life) but it was the 2,5 most difficult and exhausting years of my life.

Oh and of course burgers, pizza and souvlaki were/is part of my training routine :):oops:
 
How can someone train at that time 10-11pm and then after finishing be able to sleep? I mean when finishing my workouts I always feel fully awake.

Edit

I could understand if it's due to free time limitations cause of work/family/ responsibilities etc etc.
