Nothing like adding exercise to chores. It brings us back to the hunter-gatherer days when we did not call it exercise we called it survival.  Lifting weights while watching football sounds like a good way of relieving aggression as long as you don't get the urge to throw the weight at the TV

Nah, the Rattlers came a missed PAT kick from putting up 70 against the opponent.  Now when it gets to Cardinals season...  

(I might start the 10am local slot games in the gym garage this season)

This evening I went for an 18 mile bike ride.  I got too caught up in work and left too late in the day to go the 30 I wanted to.  Another time!

Added another 17.5 miles on the bike this afternoon.  It was a great day to ride!  11.5 this morning and this afternoon decided to ride some more.

Good to have a backup plan

Looking for a good core workout I can do at home. Been looking on the internet but haven't really found one that looks like a winner. Will gladly take any suggestions. I have weights (dumb bells and free weights) etc..

[JCrane]

I can make you a video. How long do you want it ?  It should include upper and lower ab exercise and don't forget the back because that is part of the core.  What do you do now for core ?  using 1-10 how would you rate your core strength ?

Looking for a 15-20 minute core workout. Right now I do planks, curl ups, mountain climbers. Done with curl ups because of lower back. I hardly do any back workout since I left the gym. I would say I'm a 6-7 core strength (except maybe my back).

I let the moderator know what I am doing. I need make sure I don't violate any policy here. I won't be in the studio until Sunday. I will get back to you shortly

ok, I got permission to send you some links from youtube. I am going to send you a few exercises and you can tell me how they work for you so I can get a better idea on where you are at. Rate these videos 1-10 in terms of what you are feeling.  Do the planks effect your back pain ?  Let me know

 

[FlyingSpaniard]

Squat 65kg 3x12
Bench Press 3x3 70kg
Stiff Legged Deadlift 3x8 85kg
Machine rows 3x10
Face-Pulls 3x10
Rear Delt Machine 3x10
Rotational exercises with bands

Used to train 5-6x per week but I am too addicted to golf to spend that much time at the gym anymore. Pretty content with 2x nowadays, but I am trying to fit a third light day - working very hard to persuade myself that working out also counts as golf.

I am having trouble in my left rhomboid from over-exertion and possibly poor technique.

Anyone know of any good exercises aside from face-pulls, rear delt work, etc.?

Where is the stretching. ? Start now or you may regret it later in life.

Sorry, do I need to detail everything I do? I seemed to read in the original topic that one could just post after a completed workout?What makes you assume that I don't stretch at all, like in the mornings, the evenings, during breaks at the office, or otherwise in separate workouts? You're going as far as assuming that I haven't stretched in my entire life ("start now").

Also, you do understand that performing compound lifts with good technique, at full range of motion, actually stretches the muscles and is excellent for mobility? Arguably just as good, if not much better, than static stretching?

And what exactly may I regret and when?

Started my very beginner powerlifting workout today. Felt really good to get back in the gym after a few weeks off. After a 15 min. warm up on the elliptical and followed by stretching I did the below. 
 

1. Barbell Bench Press – 4 x6

2. Pec fly’s – 3 x 8

3. Triceps Dips – 3 x 8

4. Lat Pulldowns – 3 x 8
