***** All things Fitness ***** (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=341639)

So I haven't lifted a weight in over a decade. My GF finally got a ****in job so I have more time now! Signed up for a gym membership. Really not planning on lifting much just using the treadmill when it is cold or rainy but I did try to lift some dumbells before my run today and man it was so sad. I did 50 lbs each bench dumbells 12x, then 10x and final set I could barely do 8x looool. I used to complain about gyms that didnt have dumbells above 75 lbs. Times have changed. So sad. Maybe some of it has been the 20-25 mpw but Ive only lost like 8 lbs since Ive been running.

Bought a used Peloton yesterday. Going on the inaugural ride in the morning. Time to lose some of this holiday fat.

I'm pleased to say that I'm down 33 pounds this year, and my fat percentage has dropped from 27.7 to 20.7. I've been doing light to moderate weights and running, and in the right lighting I can almost see bicep muscles now.

Instead of expensive Nip Guards, a great way to protect nipples from chafing against shirts wet with sweat or rain is to use 3M medical tape, like Blenderm. You can get 12 5-yard rolls for the price of 20 pairs of Nip Guards and that tape can protect you for over a thousand runs. You just cut a couple of strips before each run and cover your nips with it, then remove them after the run. I do that before most runs and it takes months to get through a single 5-yard roll.

Can't you get those dumbell nipple piercings that will keep your shirt from rubbing the nips?

I am signed up to do the same three marathons in 2025 that I did in 2024, the Flying Pig (Cincinnati), the Garmin Kansas City Marathon, and the California International Marathon (Sacramento). Sports trivia buffs might notice that those are three cities the NBA Kings franchise has called home. I picked them because the Pig was my first and will always be special for me, KC is my beloved boyhood home and where my brothers still live, and the Sacramento area is where I now call home.

😂
I can’t see myself ever getting a tattoo, let alone a piercing. I am so old-fashioned that I feel surrogate regret for folks when I see theirs.

Pretty fat, I was in the best shape of my life for several years but I effed it up and quit smoking.

Pooping Before You Exercise Has an Incredible Effect on Performance

If you're looking to improve your performance, both cognitively and physically, you need to start by giving a crap.

No, quite literally. Go to the toilet and empty your bowel. If you're about to compete in a triathlon, it will make you both faster and smarter, according to two recent studies.

The latest research involved 13 triathletes, a cognitive test called the Stroop test, and a magnesium oxide laxative.

The result? The athletes performed measurably better on the cognitive test after voiding their large intestines, a finding that suggests an underexplored link between the rectum and cognitive function. This potential link has interesting implications, not just for peak performance, but for understanding cognitive decline.

"The most striking finding of this study is the unequivocal improvement observed in Stroop test performance for all participants consuming magnesium oxide," writes a team of researchers led by biochemist Chen-Chan Wei of the University of Taipei in a new paper.

"Even in the absence of magnesium oxide, defecation led to improved Stroop test results for 9 out of 13 individuals."
