What’s the go to calorie/macro tracker nowadays? I used to use Myfitnesspal before it got bloated to fuck with subscriptions and IAPs.
Preferably free, but open to paying if the free ones are lacking

Ronnie really is the fucking king. You look at comments on memes of him and there's always someone like 'yeah but look what he looks like now. I bet he regrets it'

Ronnie:
Nobody believes the shit he's saying, but he's not the brightest candle on the cake to begin with so he probably believes it. Either way, uncle Ronnie isn't even 60 and can't walk, has about 10lbs of metal in his back and is going on like 10+ back surgeries. The price wasn't worth it in the end no matter what he claims, not when they gotta prop you up like a marionette for photos.
I thought his back problems kept going because he couldn't stop training when he was recovering so yeah, not the brightest.
Still a goddamn beast though

Fucking patellar tendonitis flared up in the middle of a cycle in Wales. Had to push through 20 miles of hills and steep-ass paths with it. Eventually my entire knee goes numb and i'm ok. But fuck that.
Sounds like someone needs a bit more triangle and chair poses, fascismo.
In other news, finally got a Garmin watch. Already can tell I'll be hooked on comparing my pulse in different states. My rest one went down to 42 as I did some meditation 🙈

Four times this week I did nine miles on the exercise bike and it wasn’t a big deal, but today it’s like the tiredness all hit me at once. I’m definitely taking the weekend off.

I'd love to do a half marathon. Need better ankles so the first 5 miles don't feel like I'm grinding glass in them.

Wow, sub 90, it took me 2hrs and 24mins lol
Good luck!

This bloody London heat killed me but still a pb at 1.37.
One of my running crew friends collapsed at 20k with blood coming out of his nose though and was put in a wheelchair. Really hope he's OK :/

Anybody got any advice for getting back into pullups? I used to be able to lift this dad-bod years ago and fell off. Would like to be able to do it again.
My gym has a combo dip/pullup scaffold that has an optional assist that you kneel on, which you can load weight to make things easier. Was thinking of using it and doing sets until failure and then adding a little more weight and repeating.
By data Go To PostBeen hitting legs hard for hoochie daddy shorts seasonBalls too, data?
Almost went to the upper room trying to bench max 285 cause my groin tightened up on the ascent and I lost all my focus

got accessory work recommendations for increasing squats? starting to bring back in a lot of Leg Press and trying Hack Squat for the first time.
it's just very inconsistent from session to session compared to bench which is just on an upward trajectory rn. i think I can hit that to 300 by the end of the summer like I wanted but squat gains have been much more difficult.

By domino Go To Postdamn that will be sad af if my wall on squats is <4 plates.Sucks but you aren't tall so there is only so much muscle mass you can pack on naturally.
By domino Go To Postgot accessory work recommendations for increasing squats? starting to bring back in a lot of Leg Press and trying Hack Squat for the first time.You taking creatine? Are you doing 3x5 or 5x5? How many mins you rest between sets?

You can try single-leg workouts like dumbbell lunges or do body squats while holding one dumbbell 45-70lbs and perform 15-25 reps for 3 sets. And of course deadlifting for a strong back. Other than that it’s time for chicken and broccoli.

Program it’s an adjusted version of a power building program I found. 2 bench days, 2 squat days and 1 DL+squat or bench depending on the week. Plus whatever accessories I feel like hitting
Typically rest about 2 mins between sets for my working ones (up to 255, usually hit that 2x5 before singles), then singles maybe 3-4 mins (beyond 255)
My deadlift is weak rn I’m focusing on form and technique more than weight for now
