Do you find it easy to sleep after you've finished?
Was replying back to @Victoriax but nice to know about you too
Nope, that was his routine you replied to
Due to time during the week and then on weekends it would be busy af during the day. I'm impatient waiting for others to finish their sets. I like to move freely between equipment.
Since lockdown, I started putting Mr Motivator workouts on my TV throughout the day, I join in between doing other things.
They're pretty basic and a bit of a laugh, but it keeps you moving and well, motivated! They're free & tailored to all levels of fitness, which I think's great.
Right!!!! this is what I was replying to lol veryyyyyy impressive the routine plus the way you typed it all out.

That's one of the things I hate at the gyms. When someone starts their sets but takes too long for them to finish either because they have big breaks between the sets or because they play with their mobile.
I always found funny, useless and "silly" the videos of people who suggested and showed a quick workout session at home. I completely changed my mind when I had one of those during the quarantine because my brother was insisting. They are definitely doing a good job and help.

I find all the supplements confusing. And so much conflicting information out there.
I went for a check up and blood test a few years ago to see which ones I was truly needing but really need to go have it done again.
Have found over the few months the gyms have been closed that I put on weight so quickly ( I find it hard to get motivated at home to work out) but now they are open again I am trying to get into a bit of a routine. Usually just hit the treadmills, fast walking because I’ve never been able to work out the whole running and breathing at the same time thing. Then use the weighted machines focusing on a different area each visit. Am so keen for yoga classes to start up again, have missed them and have noticed certain aches returning since I’m not doing it as often.
My goal is more about staying healthy/ strong

How someone decides what breaks they're going to have beween sets? Do you rest until you feel strong again to continue, have a time breaks etc etc?
I for example almost always have my timer on and have breaks for 45 secs to 1:15 depending on the exercise and how intense that is.

So our gyms open on the 25th of July yey (not)....but I’m not quite sure if I like the new rules... no changing rooms, go and come in the same cloths, how that works for me when on the way back from office in a suit ugh idk
, only 45 minutes before the screens automatically go off 
and wear a mask 
... I think I’ll stick to my home work outs

So.... I'm my youth40+ years ago. Catchers were built a certain way. Johnny Bench, Thurman Munson, Carlton Fisk.... and back then there were no rules governing blocking the plate ( watch old school home plate collisions) so I started lifting to and size and structure. Even after a knee op or two I recovered well enough to lift heavy and deep....
Ages 30 to 40 were about fine tuning what I still had. Still lifted heavy but moved away from single rep PRs and worked on functional strength...
Then came the dark years where the knee really dictated how I could lift and train... imbalance between the legs started. I've always been barrel chested so it started looking wanky...I went to lighter lifts to simply maintain...
Now that I'm post op and feeling good I'm itching to loose the fluff and get back to tight and lean. I'm thinking a 5 x 5 set up with a push / pull centric ideal. The leg is holding up great.. I had a good amount of weight on today , felt good to have that resting on the shoulders today.... stopped at 3vreps ( did 3 sets of 10 warming up)
I'll put up something more organized in a bit

Back in here after a bit and I love that this thread has been growing lately, as a part of my routine, fitness is a more of a Habitual Ritual. I don’t do weight training or mostly even don’t go to gym but I am killer for body weight workouts, Boxing/MMA workouts and I do that pretty much every day from 5 to 6 pm. It does fall under HIIT cardio and is a great pick on interest. I have been bulking up to last week and since then I have started my shredding programme and it’s going SICKKA !.
I personally feel that this Quarantine time is precious time which won’t come by again cause we’re all at our homes free almost the whole day and it’s a great opportunity to pick up skills, hobbies and traits. Guys Working out doesn’t mean that you need a gym ..... a 5x5 area is enough to do most of the body weight exercises.
That was something I felt like sharing today and hope yall had an Awesome day
Keep Vibing & With love

I confidently state that sleep deprivation is a more prevalent and serious health concern. I have been exercising for half of my life and I have been struggling with sleep for almost as long. Rest and work are both essential for a good life. It is better to rest more than to work more.

> Full body workouts for five days a week followed by a 30 minutes cardio session after every workout.
> Timing: 11:00 hrs
Lasts for around an hour and a half.
> Use the hard Roller and joint rotations to get myself warmed up before my workout routine.
> As of now I've been doing the "Bring Sally Up" workout.
I do the push-up, squat and pull-up variations of that challenge for as long as i can (3 reps on each variation)
Quite some challenge and I would recommend you all to take up that challenge if you wanna REALLY know how long 3 minutes can be
> Cardio Sessions are all about Jump ropes since the past 3 months cuz of the Lockdown situation otherwise I go for a swim, run in the park or cycling.
I do 30 mins of continuos Jump ropes and try to target more than 5 kms (can measure the distance thanks to my fitbit versa)
> Also do balance work on M-W-F on my Balance Board.
> Handstands in the evening (everyday)

I don’t have a timer. I rest until I feel ready. Usually I try to reduce my rest time (1) to save time (2) to push myself harder (yes I know the rest time is crucial in between set. But what if... I could be higher performing), (3) because in waiting too long, my thoughts can undermine my confidence if my last set's reps were challenging.
Sometimes cutting down time works. Sometimes it doesn't and regardless I have to take a break after the first 1-2 reps before continuing.
It also depends on the exercises. Shoulder presses (the bane of my gym existence) require more time in between sets. For deadlifts, it will depend on whether it's 1x5, or if I'm doing it to failure.
And it depends on the weight. If I've added weight to go past my last PR, then I make sure to have more rest time (1) to mentally boost and visualize myself doing it, and (2) to give my muscles time to 'reset' (as much as they can at that time), but mainly it would be reason (1).
