Do any of you guys work out or exercise at all?
yes but not with any kind of structure or recordkeeping and not as much as I used to
I've always thought about doing it but I'd need to eat way more than I do right now to build any muscle (I'm a skeleton) and I've been eating the same foods for like 12 years so I don't feel like changing my diet.
do you at least take a supplemental protein powder?
if any protein you eat is getting glycolized to fuel your aerobic demands then maybe you need a bit of supplemental carbs too I guess, but don't go overboard there
also are you getting healthy fats for your brain like omega 3 / dha / epa ? drink your fish oil lad
No I have no motivation to
I just went over to the chinup bar a few steps away from my computer and did 1 rep then I took a piss to become a tad lighter and did a 2nd rep
I seem to be limited to 1-rep chinning sets ATM and it's probably not the ideal tempo or form but it's SOMETHING
it's just kinda cool to be able to do it, doesn't immediately give you
confidence but IMO prob slightly improves your day/life
feeling your lower lat fibers pulsate from chinning is also kinda cool

I really wish I had a lat pulldown to do higher-rep lower-resistance stuff. I don't think only doing 1-rep sets is any kind of ideal way to improve
I miss days where I could do 6-8 reps, want that kind of fitness back.
if you can't do 1 then do chair-assist. No shame in that or doing so-called "girly" knee pushups, it's just math progression.
I should be doing chair-assist chins to approximate lower lat pulldown resistance or using those counterweight machines at gyms tbh
what I really miss is having a variety of grip otions, I don't know how ergonomic the grip I use on my bar is
I've been going to the gym
this doesn't mean anything you could just be going to hang out, tell us what machines or freeweights or whatev you use
