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.

I go three times to the gym per week. I'm getting noticeable improvements lately, wondering if I can do any improvements. No splits at the moment.

Id recommend you to switch to a muscle focused workout (i.e. push day, pull day, leg day) with less volume but higher intensity. Less time at the gym + better progress, although its fine to start with full body circuits to condition your body, with the shorter lift sessions you could squeeze a light cardio every day too.

Yep, I plan to do that later on, probably in a few months. Right now I want to finetune my workout as it is then do splits, I first need to do a lot more research about them

Also try different excercises, variations, different grips, etc.. For example, on lat pulldowns i never felt my lats using the normal wide grip bar until i tried a neutral grip bar.

Alrighty, I'll try the neutral grip bar, I usually do it with the wide grip bar with a neutral pose
