These are all ~10-15 minute videos, so I try to do at least one per day.
I also use the android app XPlayer, a video player you can mute, so I can listen to audiobooks / music while I work out.

Man I hurt my back deadlifting last november and it is still injured. Will have to rest a couple months more before I can exercise again. It is a bit depressing.
Damn that many months, that’s rough. Have u looked into getting a chiropracter, that might help, and sometimes its not too expensive.
I went to an orthopaedic specialist first but it took the hospital two weeks, one xray, five physiotherapy sessions and one MRI scan to figure out what was wrong. It looks like they don’t give a fuck about anything other than making money so I have given up hope of any fruitful attempt for them. I’ll rest until April and if I don’t get much better by then I will try to find someone good. My doctor relatives might be able to help with that.
Recently got a set of dumb bells been looking for a good routine I’ll have to try some of these. Been doing this but it definitely seems like it ignores abs www.fatherly.com/health-science/best-dumbbell-workout-at-home/ … also feels like I haven’t used whatever muscle you use for lunges in a while
Those do look like some legit workouts, but ya I do suggest trying some of the ab workout videos above if you’d like to work on abs / core. They’re only 10 minutes, and I started to see major results after doing them once a day for ~ 20 days.
i m sure you ll like the stuff Phil Daru does. i could give suggestions, but i regularily do his athlete performance workouts and all sorts of rotational resistance exercises for posture and core, you might eventually skip ThenX completely.
and i would not listen to his advice on anything not callesthenics-related, because you will get injured. even he got injured from his own exercise routine as he started talking about his back pains as of late and watching his form and training ideas concerning the barbell earlier, especially his ideas about and form during squatting and deadlifting, that’s kind of no f*cking surprise at all… amateur show off injuries unfortunately. which is also why he is the target of a whole bunch of puns in the fitness influencer wolrd. just watch shredded sports science take and you ll see what i mean
Nice, thx! I’ll check him out.
I’ve been going to the gym lately with a personal trainer.
Works like a fucking charm; I’m getting back to my natural body weight, though the next step (at least the one I want to make) is to start building muscle rather than just maintaining my weight.
Nice! What kind of things yall work on?
Mostly core and arms; legs get work too, but they’re mostly there to make sure that everything is more or less equal to each other.
I follow the very simple phraks program, a variation of the greyskull LP (linear progression). For that you just need a bench, a pullup bar, a rack, a barbell and weights. I go to the gym but if you do the math, you spend 800$ at most once to get the equipment at home and you never have to pay a gym membership ever again. Pays for itself after 1 year, 2 year tops if you went to a low-cost gym.
But there’s definitely a social aspect to the gym too so I’m not complaining. Definitely hitting the point where I can’t do very linear progression though.
Only downside of the phraks routine is you neglect the abs, even if barely. The exercises are compound, but abs should be worked on separately. You can however add them in wherever you want, I was thinking of doing them at home… and then never get around to actually doing it.
