A place where comrades can

(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

Rule:

Approach every conversation in good faith.

August 2023. Over here we are curb stomping one climate record after another.

In the past week I did three (3) strength workouts and I went running twice. Unfortunately I did not have my phone with me on my runs, so I wasn't able to track my speed and I can't tell if there is any improvement yet. When running I was overtaken by a madlad who must have been going like 14km/h for multiple rounds straight. I hope to one day achieve whatever he can do.

Anyway, this week went steady enough for me to lose all focus on tracking my lifts and runs, so I don't have any specific PRs to mention. I have more than a month left before competing in the trail run and I can already run 5km easily. It should not be a problem 🤞

How was your week?

My gym doesn't have parallel bars for dips, only angled bars and it's messing up my chest cartilage. So I found out that two treadmills beside each other actually have bars that are parallel. I'll let you figure out if I used them and will keep using them to make a case for parallel bars.

Blood to muscles makes brain dumb sometimes.
