Are you leveling up outside of EQ? (fitness thread)

I like to hit the heavy bag for about 3-5 rounds and skip rope for 3 rounds everyday. my speedbag is broken and I can't convince myself to spend $60/mo at a boxing gym.

I was doing some heavy bag training a ways back to go with Krav Maga. My hands were getting a bit arthritic even with proper mexi-wraps and good gel gloves. Ice helped, but it was mucking with my ability to comfortably play guitar and bass, much less make them.

Still though, heavy bag training is incredible!

Work them less hard, do stretches and be patient would be the kindest way I imagine, though I sense you want advice more technical and with quicker results than that?

So many running shamers in this thread smh lazy fools.

Running CAN cause problems but you with proper technique you're fine. We are literally physically built to do it.

Know what else can cause bodily injury with improper technique? Literally any other type of workout.

No one shamed runners. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Someone mentioned they hurt their knee while running after doing it for many years, and that's quite feasible.

Not every human body is built to run long distance or even shorter distances as everyone's body is different and capable/incapable of doing different feats of physicality.

walking > running for long term longevity.

On topic: I went up from like 155 to 175 within 2 months of a colectomy. On a 6'3" indo-european like me still quite slender. I'm getting my insides cut up again so that I can lose the ostomy bag at the end of the year and my surgeon told me to "skinny out" [sic]. Apparently having next to no fat in the abdominal cavity is ideal for making these surgeries easier.

So I am now practicing intermittent fasting every day to help consume fats while retaining the muscle I gained since getting healthy. I was getting into some jogging, but it ruins the seal of my ostomy bag so I'm going back to walking and a regimen of pushups, pullups, lunges, and some dumbell exercises for my vanity.

I also got a ostomy-bag protective belt over the weekend so I can go swimming again in the ocean, which is fucking awesome, but when I was body surfing it totally ripped the seal and I hda to go home immediately. So I really won't bea ble to get back into the water how I'd like until next year.

That's something I never had to manage, but I seen others who had a colostomy bag... big time inconvenience, and could be messy/stinky sometimes too.

One guy I knew who had one had a joke that he would open the bag up and pull the peanuts out to eat them later. I guess he didn't digest the peanuts so they were left in his bag with other stuffs? I never asked to see the contents either. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hopefully you can get that thing off sooner than later.

on a side note, nearly all the colostomy bags I seen on people were due to them taking gunshot wounds to the abdomen. They also had a huge vertical scar running from their sternum down to their lower gut.

Made me understand that even if you live from a gunshot, the aftermath is nothing to sneeze at and sometimes the injury is something a person has to live with for the rest of their lives.

yeah i have to chew food well, don't digest fiber much at all; but no real scars cause i got laparoscopic surgery. Most annoying thing to me atm is that it interferes with certain types of exercise I enjoy. But just a few more months and i'll be all good [You must be logged in to view images.

I'm not sure if this is an option for you or if it would work with an ostomy but we used to use a dry suit barefoot water skiing when it was freezing ass cold outside.
