Must be a college thing. | ||

I'm at 155 lbs 5'10 and I can't help but feel fat (l know I'm not, but since I have very little muscle mass it feels like that). I have no time for the gym during the school week, which fucking sucks since I had the time of my life working out over the summer. I figure I might just start bodyweight excersizes at home, even though the progress is probably much slower than lifting. Mostly bodyweight exercises, yeah. I'd be more than happy to share with you some good stuff to do if you want. Just PM me with what kinds of things you're looking to do/work on. | ||

Played all throughout high school and have played in a summer league ever since. I'm pretty damn good, tbh. I'd be a lot better if I put more effort into stamina/burst speed exercises. | ||

Gym is nice and all but don't let be the reason why you don't exercise. Having a lack of time and not being able to go to the gym is very real. Not doing simple but effective workout stuff in your own home isn't. (I feel like a semi-hypocrite for typing this but it's good, honest advice. I do own some dumbbells though, haha) | ||

If your form is correct (which if you're going to do it regularly, you need to make sure it is), you work lots of different muscle groups that you don't get with just floor exercises like sit ups and push ups. It won't build muscle like bodybuilding, but it definitely gives you a nice V-shape body and strength. I used to swim in high school, but I haven't taken the time to find a pool since moving. I really miss it  | ||

I'll prob try one of those dumbbells that increase in weight easily. Need dem linear gains. | ||

Every once in a while I'll do a random workout in my apartment. I personally hate gyms and weight lifting. A set of small dumbbells is definitely a useful thing to own. @Shake: One thing to note - body weight exercises will help make you lean, not bulk up. They're very good for getting and keeping a healthy physique, but you won't get super strong off them.

I really miss it Yes. I love swimming, and it's so good for upper-body stability (especially shoulders) if done without over exertion. I know a lot of swimmers with fucked up shoulders, but I also use swimming as "pre-hab"/maintenance for my shoulders. I always wonder what would have happened if my parents put me into swimming instead of gymnastics when I was little. I have the perfect body type for it, my dad was a swimmer, and my grandfather almost went to the olympics for swimming (but opted to have my dad instead). | ||

That's some sick, subtle brag about family genetics, Soniv.  I miss swimming too. Also swam in HS. It's been so long since I've been in a pool. But fuck that chlorine smell, dry skin and dead hair. I definitely don't miss that. | ||

There's always time. Especially in high school. I went at 6:30 every morning before classes and worked after school 25-30 hrs a week while doing sports and maintaining a solid GPA. There is time. *edited in because I felt like a pompous jerk* I'm lazy as shit now and work out at home with a bar and some dumb bells about 3x a week. On the subect I'm 6'2, 195lb. How the weight fits on different frames varies. Some people have broader frames or larger legs perhaps. Some people have tiny legs and a big gut. An accurate fat % is more important than weight to height. | ||

But fuck that chlorine smell, dry skin and dead hair. I definitely don't miss that. I actually liked the chlorine smell, idk why it just felt comforting to me. But I got too insecure about myself to keep swimming so I mostly stick to infrequent gym sessions and occasional press ups/sit ups at home. I really think I'm wasting time and I need to start structuring my exercise to get something done. I had some dumbbells but they broke and I never really got around to replacing them, I feel like I got lots of stuff to fix in terms of my exercise before I start committing myself again. | ||
