Anyone else hit the gym? (serious)
If so, feel free to talk about diet, routine, the sets and reps you do, favorite types of workouts, how often you go to failure, etc, etc, y'know, gymbro stuff.

150 shots at the basketball hoop. Drop and slides on towel to clean up and build hamstring strength. Got pullups, wrist curls, benchbar twists. Make it to the mats and its checking mobility. Enter the heavy bag room and do push drills across the floor with extension of leg or arm. Take 5-8 minute sprints on a treadmill in between each.

Then there is pool days with tornado kick drills and forms with possible cycle and sprints across the court.

full muscle? don't use a gym just tree stumps rocks and outside. Gym air isn't qualified for close to that experience.

and no there is nothing interesting about being asked are you done yet or why isn't anyone else in the gym. keep to yourself. (serious)
What about YOU, OP? 🤷‍♂️

I can do free weights and bodyweight just fine but usually I do about 7 sets til failure, and the issue is that more often than not, with free weights and bodyweights, as you get closer to the breaking point, you end up losing your form, and so by relying more on machines, maintaining your form isn't nearly as much of an issue as it is with the other two options, and hence, allowing you to push yourself, or at least, myself, as far as I can.

Mentality is also the biggest thing ever. In the same way a crack addict will go nuts if he doesn't get his dose, you have to get into this concept where if you don't go til failure on say, leg extensions, then you will go ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy.

Oh yeah, and rest, rest is super big, just like what Mike Mentzer used to preach. Not much to say about that, just common sense y'know? Work hard, rest hard.

That isn't all of my stuff gym-wise, but it's a good rundown.

Milk crate crafted bar bell lifter in the house? roll the whole thing over chest gut and kneecaps to stand up and then face plant on the mat into a coma?

Do you even lift brah?
Me personally I don’t but I still work out. I have a treadmill at home which I run on. Strength training isn’t my forte so I rather focus on running.

Cardio is key to surviving zombies and honestly out running any sort of trouble. I personally have an exercise bike but im pretty sure both are bad for knees. I want robot knees.

All of my local gyms are flooded with weird zoomer-types with the broccoli hair style.

It's not a cool place to hang and work out anymore if you ask me.

Nope, biking isn't bad for knees, it's even used by medics to help reeducation after a surgery. It's like a lot of other things, don't overdo it and that's fine. Running can be, if you do it wrong.

Want a good way to train your cardio without any risk for your joints ? Swimming.

I love to swim but I dont like the idea of public pools, but I'm glad to know I'm not ruining my knees.

Well, just don't fall and don't overdo it, you'll be fine. What's very bad for knees are sports like tennis, with brutal moves to the sides. But as soon as you stay in a "forward backward" axis and don't overload them, your knees will be fine.

If public pools scare you then imagine swimming in the ocean.

Ocean has all that salt from the fishes just blasting off into it, thats why its so salty, why would public pools be salty tho?

I feel like fish bodies are a little cleaner than human bodies.

Salty swimming pools exist, as salt in water help with buoyancy. The more salt in water the more you float effortlessly.
