Love it. Do you do anything differently when you know you are playing? I do leg’s every Wednesday and will alter my training when I know I’m playing within a day or two.

I applaud the city of Oakland for being smart enough not to fall into that trap 🪤 again. Did it w/the Raiders when they got them back from LA… Only to have them eventually leave again! 

*I personally think the singer ⬆️ would look great in a headband! 🤣

Didn't the Warriors leverage SF vs Oak to get the Chase Center, since Oakland wouldn't build a new arena.

Of course! Only good outcome was they stayed in the Bay. Oakland chose the residents of its city over jaded sports organization billionaires! 👏🏼

nah.

 

i’m playing tomorrow morning and would’ve done the same thing today whether i was or wasn’t. 

 

tomorrow i’ll make sure i get up early and get a good sweat in before heading to the course. probably some bike intervals and a bodyweight workout before leaving the house.

That is a lot of revenue and taxes to lose.  I know the team always comes out ahead in the end, but the city has to be struggling.

I should probably not alter my trainer either as I’m gonna suck at golf either way!

The city is already struggling so not giving a sports team 200 million dollars didn’t seem prudent

Btw. The multi billion dollar warriors organization still owes the city 40 million for renovations to the stadium in Oakland when they moved to SF and said we not paying since we’re leaving now 😉 Scum bags

this will sound way douchier than i want it to but idk how else to say it. 

 

it’s so routine to me now that i don’t get sore/tight from working out so i don’t really see a need to change anything up. 

 

if i were to ever play some kind of a competitive or tournament round i’d probably go back to doing a movement/active recovery day the day before i played just to be on the safer side.

I always get sore after training because I make sure to regularly alter my routine. If I don't get sore I feel like I failed.

Don't worry about me TS, you dudes go ahead and talk your baseball on 420. 

Later today right after work I will be taking Amelia and Sophia to the festival. They are at my place pregaming right now.

 

 

 

I am surprised Montana didn't fly in to see the two sets from the Dirty Dead.

Strange you don’t get muscle soreness anymore. I’ve been lifting consistently for 20+ years and still get muscle soreness.

i mean they get a little crunchy but it generally dissipates after a few minutes on the bike the next day. 

 

if you saw what my sessions used to look like, it’d make more sense why i feel ok everyday now 

[Petethreeput]

Well as a self professed FF'er, first word being fat second is your choice, I can tell you my mid-50's gets sore just thinking about getting up and working out.  And then after I do it, my body continues to feel sore, but worse.

 

And I have been doing it for 15 months, and it isn't huge weights, just enough to help me sustain my FF physique and I wonder why I get so sore.  3 days a week I do some light lifting and then 2 days a week I get on an exercise bike and break a sweat.

 

You guys that are committed to this are incredible, I only have about 20 years left before I am hopefully dead.  I don't want to be so old I can't think or can't move, which seems to be where most people end up nowadays.

you’re doing plenty. that’s a great lifting/cardio mix. add in some golf and you’re better off than 90% of people are.

At 50, doing the same stuff I did in the gym 10+ years ago is getting harder and harder. The key is being in excellent shape prior to “getting old”. So much easier to maintain than gain at the 40yo + mark! Prehab over rehab!

Theories abounded as to why 4/20 became popular, most of them wrong, until two reporters for Huffington Post wrote a 2009 article about 4/20’s history. The Huffington Post now re-publishes the article, “How ‘Weed Day’ Got Its Name,” every year.
 

As the journalists found, it all began in 1971 with a group of five San Rafael High School athletes who had to wait until after practice — at 4:20 p.m. — to get high and hunt for a patch of marijuana plants they’d heard about. The “Waldos,” as they called themselves because of a meeting place near a wall, never found the plants, but the term “4/ 20” stuck — and spread.

You shouldn’t feel sore after you’ve been doing a program for a few days, couple weeks tops, much less 15 months!

 

Especially If you hit a muscle twice a week. Could be your routine isn’t “routine” enough or focused enough. But I’m 54! and I only get sore if I haven’t trained a muscle for a couple of weeks and then hit it. 
 

Im thinking you’d get less sore if you worked out a little harder!
