Thank you man I finally feel like I understand everything now; and it all makes sense to me. And definitely we should always measure ourselves genetics are critical, ill always be more boxy wide and filled in its just my build and I think I’m okay with that now
I’m sorry about your injury man what happened?
But you sound like you’re thriving as well and improving and that’s the sh*t we like to hear

After realising I’ve been paying for Apple Fitness for nearly six months, I finally decided to give it a go last week.

It’s meh.

The workouts are far too easy with no difficulty filter. I stuck to the core, strength and high intensity interval workouts. It would take two, three, maybe even four separate workouts to hit the 500+ calorie mark, which I can do in a single DDP Yoga workout.

The exercises are time counted rather than rep counted. You usually get around 45 seconds to do as much reps as you feel comfortable doing rather than a set amount, which resulted in me doing different amounts on each side. The instructor isn’t counting either except maybe the last two, which if you’re doing an exercise where you can’t look at the screen, is a pain in the ass.

The HIIT workouts were a little bit harder because I wasn’t used to that type of workout. Not gonna lie, my legs were like sawdust afterwards and I collapsed twice and had to mentally prepare myself to stand back up again.

Apart from that little hiccup, I wouldn’t recommend Apple Fitness as a primary fitness source unless you don’t mind stacking several workouts in order to equal one good one.

bought some tension bands and did a "workout" for the first time since 2016

You doing any better now dawg?

yeah luckily I think it was just the worst muscle pull I've had in my life. that's what I get diving back into the heavy weights without properly adjusting the workout loads. thanks for the concern!

first time getting a massage this year... covid. the relief is for real

I've been doing pushups and started running, I'm down to 184 pounds. I still have the flabby under the arms and some in the belly as well, but still continuing to work out. I may have lost too much weight too fast honestly, but more important at this point is my health, which as all normal, so I'm proud of that. Thanks for the words of encouragement when I needed it. My goal is to get to 170, so I'm only about 14 pounds from that goal, down from 305 In August of 2020. I had to lock in hence my absence for the past couple of months, but I've been taking it a bit easy since 4th of July and trying to enjoy myself before refocusing on the final push. I can do about 20-25 pushups now up from about 2-3 a few months ago lol. Still cant do a pullup, but havent worked on it like I should. I will refocus on that as well. Love all you guys, anything is possible if your willing to put the work in. Blessings to all of you.

I honestly dont keep track, I know I probably should. Ive been more hungry since going to the gym, so Ive been eating more chicken lately.
I would order these chicken sticks and eat 12 of them, or eat a whole rotisserie chicken, or a chicken terriyaki extra chicken from sarku, along with spring mix and red onions (i love red onions now idk why) I also eat a peanut butter sandwich for a late night snack [just 100% peanuts as the ingredient)

I dont like cooking chicken, all my other meals are home cooked, steak, london broil, ground beef, and Id eat about a pound of that. 
My blood pressure, cholesterol, etc is all normal levels my doctor said, which is cool. [I've been doing keto]

I went to the doctor today and I got weighed. I lost 2 pounds. I guess I lost the weight from working again. Plus my new job is very physically demanding
