re: Hunting gps

Posted by bigbuckdj on 5/13/24 at 11:34 am
I use onx with offline maps but I have a garmin running watch and I also use that sometimes, the gps in the watch is much better if you’re trying to be really granular on your track. ...

Now 255/234/195 Eating 2200 calories now. Still focused on losing it slow, 1lb per week. I drew a nice elk tag so I want to be 215 by September that’s kind of my short term goal. Still lifting 4 x week and running 20 ish miles per week. [quote]I’m in this 255/241/195 Started at the beginni...
I wouldn’t tow a 9k boat from St Amant to Pensacola with a half ton twice a year. I’d borrow a 3/4 ton when I needed to do that. That truck will pull that load no problem. Will it stop it safely or allow you to hit the median or shoulder safely in any number of highway scenarios that come up? That’s...

My performance would be really terrible if I binge ate sugar every day and slept for 6 hours per night. It seems like you have some low hanging fruit you might be able to attack in the short term while you get to the bottom of the hormone issue. I start to get what feels like CNS fatigue if my s...
My mom is on zepbound. She’s losing weight very rapidly and she is extremely overweight. She naturally only wants to consume about 500 calories per day on it.

I agree with everything you have there. I’m also not somebody who spends more time running than lifting. I love lifting but I’ve been on the side of lifting 6 times a week with ZERO cardio thinking I was fit. [quote]3 days lifting[/quote] [quote]10k steps per day[/quote] [quote]2 days of hard c...

I’m sorry I shouldn’t have drug body builders into it, you’re right, they are extreme examples. I just feel like you underestimate your bias towards strength for complete fitness. You obviously are promoting a level of strength that is well beyond what is needed for a person to retain grip stren...

[quote]The guest on the podcast agrees with this. Her take was to use the cushioned/support shoes as a tool when needed, but also use a minimalist shoe in a controlled manner to develop strength and flexility over time. Go rucking in your hokas (when necessary), use your xeros around the house. H...

Theres definitely a point of diminishing returns on strength that doesn’t seem to exist with vo2 max.I think we all know someone who lifts 5 days a week who could die at any moment from a heart attack. Bodybuilders and strongmen have horrible life spans. Being huge and manipulating your hormones for...

20 hours is a little exaggerated Attia's workout recommendations To hit all four fitness pillars, Attia recommends the following each week: • Stability: one hour, split into 5 to 10 minute blocks done before your other workouts • Strength: three 45 to 60 minute full body workouts targeting all...

I understand the point and I like him a lot. But you can’t go get in 10,000 steps in barefoot shoes on concrete when you’re a 300 pound dude with plantar fascia problems. When people won’t exercise because of foot pain, you can sometimes convince them to go get fitted it some nice hoka type max ...
