A place where comrades can
(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,
(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and
(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.
Rule:
Approach every conversation in good faith.
What's up comrades, how has your week gone? Any gripes? Any boasting? Anything you wish to share?
Yes, I am aware I am a day early... but considered the times I was late I figured it was a fair trade off.
Also I wanted to show off my new, in-process, weight plates.
8x 10lbs
2x 15lbs, 30lbs, and 35lbs
Final touch ups will be done with epoxy and BBs to get the final weights more exact but they need to cure for a few weeks to a month before I go doing that.
I did really good this week. Got all my sets in. Bench and deadlift are taking their time getting back up to power but squats and overhead presses doing great. Could probably build my bench and deadlifts better but I didn't eat well first couple days due to stress from dealing with my job situation. But trying my best to not let that keep me from working out.
