I like that bird who says hello to ‘Smudge’ I thought she was talking to Alan ‘which way shall I put it Smith
Triceps with chest is a good switch .
Biceps with back
Legs only , the times I’ve been sick on leg days .
Diet is very interesting to me . Lots of easy carbs .
Very interesting as I so badly miss the gym , diet and discipline.
Do you take amino acids or do you rely on good diet to get these ?
Wait, which bird?
Is smudge the Indian bird from the advert?
That’s the one !
I didnt like to say Indian bird as it would be racist in today’s language but yes it’s the fit Indian bird with the sweaty breasts

I drink EAA as my intra workout drink with 1.5l of water. A scoop of it does the job for me.
I’m on a very particular block atm trying to prioritise growth of chest and legs. Not much delts for me as my shoulders are big and my traps are quite overpowering.

So the bird who says hello to her is a London lass. I’ve done one of her classes. The 30 min spin class to UK Garage music.
Ironic really, as the bike is in the garage now.

We own a Peloton treadmill. I’m obsessed with it. :bellcry:
Peloton looks like awesome kit, I was thinking about buying their stock a while back. They had some really bad publicity recently where their treadmills maimed and killed some toddlers who were playing with it unsupervised. The kids actually got sucked up under it and there was no fail safe, it was pretty hairy stuff.
Treadmills and gym equipment in general is incredibly dangerous and adults fuck themselves up with it on a daily basis so I can’t imagine letting a child nevermind a toddler use it freely. Regardless it hit the company pretty hard for a while but I think they issued a recall for some of their devices and took responsibility where they probably didn’t need to.

Yeah, though I might have to walk the first one having done pretty much no exercise for about 6 months

You’re still young. You’ll be fine. You should have heard the creaking when I finally started swimming again. It sounded like unfolding an old metal chair.

Think it will get back by a few weeks but the fact things are in place is the main thing though.
