Yessir. It's mainly for keeping tone and stave off atrophy. I was lifting for bulk a few years back and it all but ruined my disc golf game from throwing off my muscle memory. You can't have that if you're constantly ripping your muscles apart.

Speaking of, I'll be moving a mile or two from one of my favorite disc golf courses, so I'm looking forward to getting out there almost daily since it has some great elevation changes. Thats my leg workout. lol Can't skip leg day.

Disc golf eh? I took my kids to a park that had a course built in. It took me time to figure out what it was.

I started walking after a few months of pandemic lock down crap. It was a way for me to get some air, and to be by myself. My wife bought me a weighted vest to wear when I walk. It goes up to 40lbs.

I agree with leg day. You do NOT SKIP LEG DAY.

Well, I used to do 5 days a week down the gym. Two 40 minute workouts each day, morning and evening. Starting on the bikes, then a full upper-body workout. Only using 15-20 kilo weights - I didn't like to get too big.

Then I got lazy

Need to start working on this again as soon as I can, really.

You're not one of those people that only works out their upper body are you? Or are the bikes the lower body workout?

That is dedicated!

At most I was doing 3 days of weights in the gym, an hours cardio and my 10K steps a day and I didn’t have time for much else in a week

I cancelled my gym membership because my car has been off the road more this year than it has been on it and it was a total waste of money. I am joining my local council gym which is walking distance from my house so it won’t matter now if my car is off the road

. I have also been cycling most places because of this as well so at least I’ve still been doing something.

In the hopes of achieving my lifelong goal of getting a Bigger Chest, I am now going nuclear and exercising TWICE per day. In the morning I've started swimming 30 laps of 20 meters, then followed by 100 pushups. This is in addition to my regular 5-6 days a week gym training. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS (probably nothing).

What's your regular chest training like?

Well I hit it specifically like twice per week normally because I refuse to do just upper body exercises like some people. Every other week I also do pull-ups which also hit the chest kind of. I switch between 3-4 rep maximum, 8-10 and 12 reps to "surprise" my body (to which my body laughs and stays more or less the same). Overall maybe 4-5 different exercises with a duration of about 45-60 minutes. I'm still puny but I figure it's mostly because I also refuse to gobble 1kg of chicken on a daily basis.

BUT WITH THIS REVOLUTIONARY NEW METHOD THIS SHOULD ALL CHANGE AND I WILL FINALLY WEAR DOWN MY BODY'S RESISTANCE TO GROWTH!!
