Gym selfies, weightlifting & fitness šŸ”„ (TW gym attire. Keep rules #6 and #7 in mind) (Part 2)

Thank you guys for all the answer. I’ve just ordered Forerunner 55 :tada: I’m so happy! Shitty that today is Saturday so I have to wait one extra day for delivery. Can’t wait.

@zzz it’s already 2nd good recommendation from you in last few days (I also asked about yerba mate). I hope you are not charging for your advices, I just spend double amount of money on a watch that I was planning so I can’t afford nothing right now :wink:

I have a watch since yesterday and I’m so in love :slight_smile: I made first run with watch and phone to compare results and was perfectly the same. While running I was checking watch from time to time cause it was showing much shorter distance that I know my route is and was a bit angry but then realised it was in miles :wink: And while on my garmin app on the phone I have metrics, I can’t change it on my phone… But it’s not a big deal. Probably it’s possible to change but I don’t know how yet :wink:
I’m happy with my watch, thanks guys for your wisdom, as always :blue_heart:

Quick question about pre work outs lads,
Im looking to stop using caffeine altogether as my sleeping pattern is wrecked,ive tried cutting down but id rather just drop it all together now.
Im up early so I mostly train in the late afternoon so im used to having a couple of shots of coffee or energy drinks before and during my workout.
Is there anything i could use as a replacement for caffeine for a boost.
I already use coco pops an honey as a quick hit carb for energy before workout.
Thanks :muscle::+1:t2:

Despite some niggling shoulder pain that seems to come and go, still been working out 4 times a week.
@Tony1878 this is something that interests me also. I don’t take any pre workouts other than the occasional coffee.

If you are looking for something without coffeĆÆne maybe you could try this:

I replaced my first-thing-in-the-morning coffee with this and its working fine for me. Tastes really good too.

Yerba mate is also my thing but definitely you have to get used to this taste, not for everyone :slight_smile:

Matcha tea (powdered green tea) is game changer too (without milk!).

Basically, I was looking for healthy coffee replacement cause when I stopped drinking alco, i started drinking insane amounts of coffee. Ended up drinking it all, coffee matcha yerba mushrooms… :sweat_smile: Luckily I hate smell and taste of energy drinks (red bull etc), at least i don’t drink those.

Ps: all that I mentioned above (except redbull things) are super healthy too. Good luck with replacing coffee!

Looking good there Seb,ive training for 5 yrs now and ive always used some kind of pre work out,tablet form,coffee or energy drinks so i dont no any different,maybe it will turn out that i will be ok without them after a few weeks,we will soon see!!,yeah i had one of them shoulder injuries myself,couldnt get rid for months and I had to change my whole routine to work around it,i ended up not using my right shoulder at all for just under a month and it cleared up,minor strength loss also which was a bonus

I love my Garmin Fenix Pro 6, the app is free and it does everything I want. I had a Garmin Forerunner it was my first ā€œsmart watchā€ā€¦ I also loved that one, but I wanted a little more. I love the app, you can find friends and see what activities they are doing too. I have a few friends and we compare miles in a month and we can all see each others stats
