Had the joy of opening my #HomeGym to some friends for Strong Tea, a powerlifting tea party! True to name we sipped tea and lifted heavy shit! We had a range of experiences from gym rats to total novices. It was fun to show some barbell-curious people (of all body sizes and genders) how to do the main lifts safely in a fun and non-intimidating environment.

Change of hair, doing weights at home, feeling great a week away from my 36th birthday 😜 #selfie #gay #gaymer #gaymuscle #motivation #homegym #feelinggreat

In the spirit of getting back to engaging more with the #fediverse, here’s a #fitness update! The #homegym has been working like a dream, and I in fact just recently expanded it to include the #IronMaster adjustable dumbbells and kettlebells (2 each). So now I can properly do isometric and bilateral stuff without having to awkwardly bear claw weight plates. Lol. Also, I now know the feeling of working out in a 136F heat index, b/c that’s just where we are in #Texas #weather. 🥀 🔥 🫠

Getting after it in my fancy #homegym

Did my first post-COVID double training session today. 45 minute upper body strength focusing on chest, back and biceps, this morning. Followed by a 35 minute base run after lunch. Felt really good to have the energy for a double and felt AMAZING to do my first barbell workout in my own home gym.

Been wanting my own home fitness center for years. After a year of owning our own home, we finally built a fitness center in our basement. 24’x11’ space covered in 3/4” rubber mats. Squat rack mounted to floor and wall, barbell bench, some bumper plates and a set of adjustable dumbbells. It’s far from a complete gym, but it’s a huge step forward and enough for me to cancel my gym membership.

Garage sale days in just a few weeks. I’ll be on the hunt for anything we can use to fill out the space.

anyone else duct tape the inner ring of their cheap-ass plates (i.e., CAP) to cut down on paint chipping?

I was doing a YouTube workout today & the background was like white shiplap, which got me wishing I could make #fitness content b/c my background would be this:

#SpaceGym #workout #gym #HomeGym #mural #Art #space #astronomy #astrodon #HomeGym #MastoArt

Re-hung #Shelves so #DVD wallets can fit on five of the six shelves in my #Bedroom / #HomeOffice / #HomeGym / #TV room #Bookcase.

Got back to working out on the #homegym after over a month due to #covid. Started from scratch on the #Stronglifts5x5 program using an empty barbell but at least I completed a #workout. #fitness #weightlifting #strengthtraining

I was feeling very unmotivated because of the weather today but what the hell. Double espresso and let’s go:

10 min bike ride warmup

Strength:
5x9@8lbs Dumbbell Front Raise
5x10@5lbs Side Leg Raises
5x15 Air Squats
5x10@5lbs Back Leg Raises
4x8@10lb Dumbbells Bent Over Row
4x6@8lbs Dumbbell Kickbacks

I’m happy my right arm is improving and I can add shoulder exercises to my routine again!

40km indoor bike ride

Some major climbs and my quads are on fire

I did the thing of skipping lunch and having GU gels before - and OMG what a difference it made.

I had one pack before and another after 20km. Absolute magic.

Thanks to everyone who educated me!

Was feeling really low this weekend but got on the saddle today anyway

20km indoor ride on #rouvy - flat and easy route just to move my body a little bit

#indoorcycling #biketooter #cycling #fitness #fitnessover40 #homegym

I managed to break my arm at the beginning of December. After 2 months off, I was able to start training. Today was the first time I felt I am starting to get back towards my pre-injury levels. #HomeGym #StrengthTraining

Did a 50km indoor bike ride, longest ride since last summer

Found a stunning route on #Rouvy along Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, some easy climbs and a fun 10k downhill finish just to sprint

Took me just under 2h and I’m not especially tired. Very nice.

Nice to not be freezing my butt off tonight. Wonder if that means winter is going to be on its way out.
