Home workouts. What are you doing?

I hadn't heard of The Murph Challenge 2020 before. Looks like a cool challenge. Are you doing it with a 20 lb vest?

Yes on the vest. I don’t always do it with the vest but I try to on Memorial Day. Usually do the workout 3-4 times a year. Without the vest is still no picnic so if you don’t have one I would t worry about it.

Also did some towel pull-ups this week. 5x5. You want to fry your grip, try those. Couldn’t even do one next day.

Why do you wait so long?

 

[Tobias Funke]

Haha fair question.

I'm getting a popup banner on the bottom of the page that says, and I kid you not, Why Jesus Never Exercised.
Not exactly sure what I've searched for in my life that would make that one show up.

I’ll be doing the Murph a week from Monday as I do every Memorial Day. Will be curious how it goes, I typically do a ton of pull-ups, but haven’t done one in 90 days. Pushups should be fine, I do well over 700 air squats per week. Running is always the key. I’m down 25 lbs in the last 3 months so I’m hoping that gives me some advantage on the pull-ups given that it will be lower than I am used to weight wise even with the vest.

CrossFit opened up today. It wasn’t Bad but I will pass on Murph this year

Interesting to see all the different workouts people do.

I had never even heard of the Murph.

Thomas Delauer has a ton of YouTube videos on fasting. He goes way overboard on food but the guy had like a 5% body fat mass and lives in SoCal.

Essentially if you are younger. Fast almost daily for 18 hours. Older than 45-50...go 3-4 times a week for closer to 20 hours. The longer the better.

I try to fast going into my heavy workout day. Stop eating by 7pm Try to eat again at 3pm. Really anything over 18 hours is beneficial. Hardest part is not to gorge out coming off the fast. I usually work out around 1-2:30pm and eat afterwards.

Once work starts again if you are a office type worker...skip breakfast and take a late lunch will help. The whole key is stop eating after dinner.

Keep your fluids to water, black coffee or unsweetened tea during the fast.

I do a variation of this when I want/need to lose some weight.

Mon-Fri: Cheerios in the AM; Salad with only veggies (no meat at all for lunch); no dinner; drink nothing but one coffee with a little half n half in the AM and nothing but water rest of the day. So, I end up fasting from noon or 1 PM to 7-8 AM the next Morning. That is 18-19 hours.

Depending upon how quickly I want to shed the weight, I can extend into weekend. That sucks, tbh.

If I am not on accelerated plan, Saturday is my eat-what-I-want-day and I allow myself 1 8 oz Diet Coke and can have alcohol and dessert.

Sunday, I will eat what I want but drink nothing but water and no dessert.

Depending upon how intense my workout is, I can lose up to 2.25-2.5 lbs per day.

On interval day or Fitness/MMA day, I would say that losing 1.5 to 2 lbs is average.

On a less intense day, like yoga day, the loss is between 0.5 & 1.0 lbs.

I've lost 20lbs... really tough to get the last 10 due to life...

I just won the lottery to purchase these. They should show up in 2 weeks. It took 4 tries. They are coming north with me in a few weeks. Will be nice to have them at the camp...or as Cuseregular and I refer to them, our labor camp.

I give credit to anyone losing weight right now. My appetite is an an all time high and motivation low.

It’s not as bad as it seems. But you have to do that type of training. A lot of people who don’t tend to do it once a year and struggle, even in many cases to a very dangerous level.

I was supposed to be working out?

The only thing that has saved me is I have to find some ways to use my time so might as well exercise.

I mean I do CF 5 plus days a week. I don’t even try it. Almost everyone is down for a week or gets rhabdo

that’s what I meant by a dangerous level. I’ve always taken the day before and after off, but other than some soreness I’ve been good to get back at it.

It's nice that you have neighbors who want to workout.
Good work getting them out. Do you live in Florida too? The 100% humidity makes me wonder.
