I got beat up so bad yesterday at Muay thai. Crazy how different it is training with people that live and train MT and hobbyist who are just there to blow steam. Coach had to step in to tell the other student to chill the f*** out. I think he saw my face and knew I was getting serious.
Nothing more frustrating than people that aren't too good just going for ego wins.

this thread is just habs fans channeling the habs. I'm turning 35 and only just getting to enjoy the benefits of having an S-curve in my spine.

raise yor hand if u luv the beach as much as i do
Finally got back to a sustained fitness regime after the hospitalization and recovery and subsequent covid. Crazy how fast one can lose their conditioning, stamina, etc. Last time being so inactive was during the mrs cancer treatments during the pandemic and still managed to get some activity in. Recently though the lack of any type of workout really is evident. Before I would do my gym regime and then run pretty much flat out to the beach and jump off the pier into the sea and swim for a good 30-45 minutes and then run back. The gym regime was not too bad as it's so diverse and often changing
apparatus etc. Couldn't flat out run all the way to the beach and jogged it in after a breather, not even 700m. The swimming wasn't too bad as have done some workouts in the pool and it's been calmish. Even tennis, golf and surfing were noticeably terrible from lack of mobility and flexibility. Anyways, feels good to get back at it and feel those muscles come alive. Looking forward to getting more fit and getting into some football(soccer) and more challenging spear fishing.
one of the pitfalls of having an inferior non-permanent net, the constant re-adjustment from the drooping.

I find as the weights are getting heavier the rest time is longer and my workouts are getting longer. By the end I’m pretty drained.
Currently it’s a two day split. I’m thinking of breaking this into three to shorten things and make it a little less crazy.
Current:
Day one:
Squats
Bench press
Push ups incline
Dumbbell Row/Inverted Row superset
Day Two
Shoulder Press
Chin-ups/dips superset
Ez-curl close grip/Tricep band pull down superset
Deadlifts
I’m thinking:
Day one:
Squats
Arms
Day two:
Shoulder press
Deadlift
Farmer Walk
Day three:
Chest & Back
Thoughts?

Look into myoreps if you want to shorten your training time. Basically go straight into push-ups without rest for progressive failure. After your last set of bench, get up, pushup decline until failure, 30 second pause and push up to failure either flat or incline.
You can use that for most compounds into body weight exercises. It turns a 5 minutes set into a ~1 minute one, and the adaptation is a lot better.
Having deadlift pre-exhausted is IMO, very counter productive and probably a good injury risk. Might want to look at that.
Lastly, if you want 3 days, the proven cookie-cutter program of PPL (push press leg), 5/3/1, by Wendler. Wendler can get pretty long and implementing myoreps and supersets can make it a lot shorter.
I was personally running a modified 5/3/1 before my sciatica flared up. If you need examples I can always send you my logs.

It's not just the time, I just find that the squats are crushing me for the rest of the workout. The shoulder/arm/deadlift day is okay but the squat/chest/back is brutal. Maybe the three sets of pushups could be cut to one... just max out on it. I could do the same thing with inverted rows. That might make it a little more manageable.
Not an expert but have worked on and off long enough to risk a suggestion. You probably shouldn't split pushing exercises over two consecutive days. You would probably be better off with a split like this:
Day 1: Push - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Pull - Back, biceps and forearms
Day 4: Rest
Putting legs between day 1 and 3 gives your upper body some rest before you do upper body again even if you are targeting different muscle groups.
