Time to get Fit thread

[Climber]

I've been using this stuff, much less expensive:

MusclePharm Combat Protein Powder, 5 Protein Blend, Chocolate Milk, 4 Pounds, 52 Servings

Tastes good to me, too.

I used Gold Standard in the past, good stuff, also. 24hour fitness used to have it at 40/50% off about every other month. You can probably walk in and buy it from them when they have the sale.

Thank you ! Gonna order 5 lbs of vanilla.

This is the best tasting whey I've ever tried. Kinda on the pricey hard but goes down real easy. https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/products/whey-protein-powder

San Francisco man writes off $20,000-$30,000 bicycle on first ride

https://cyclingtips.com/2020/11/what-its-like-to-write-off-a-20000-bike-on-the-first-ride/

I feel the same about someone who wrecks their $250,000 Ferrari on the first ride. Sucks, but seriously a rich person's problem.

the builder values his time a lot. retail is $14500 without the fancy paint job and he didnt pay retail. its $7500 for an Ultegra Di2 build, which is very reasonable for the top-tier frame.

heres the crash vid on his IG. the car at first acts like its going to pull out of the parking spot and continue straight. the cyclist slows down some. then very last minute, the driver flips the illegal u-turn. the guy had like 20ft to react to the u-turn. as motorcyclist, im sure we feel his pain

Oh I empathize but the fact that he has a crazy expensive bike doesn't really make a difference. It's a very long article that would be a footnote in SFist if it wasn't a rare and expensive bicycle.

100% avoidable, based on the video. Incredibly stupid to try passing a car as it is pulling away from the curb.

Stared death in the face...

This is how we've identified an average joe that rides a bicycle. An mc'er would be like, "hit a car. sucks. fucked up my bike. guess im not riding this weekend".

TODAY'S INSPIRATION

Heath Goddamn Barkley, who can tilt a hat better than Derek Jeter. After face-punching bad guys in and around Stockton while going home to Farrah Fawcett every night, he became an astronaut, lost an arm and leg, then shifted careers into bounty hunting.

Wednesday night I got a few hours of the best cardio I've ever had, it's been really hard to motivate after that.

40 minute run
14 sets of incline bench 190lbs. for 8's

3400 calories mostly consisting of whey protein, 1% milk, oats, cranberries, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, spinach, chicken, bean chips, non-grain peanut butter pretzels, Makuna honey, peanut butter.

absolutely. but he wouldnt have passed if the driver had pulled away into the lane like a normal person. so i can see why he didnt slow more.

ive had nearly the exact same incident happen to me on a moto - parked car, illegal u-turn, land on hood, etc. so i tend to slow far more than most for vehicles leaving parking spots.

 

[UDRider]

Got Oura ring today. Will see how it compares to Whoop.
So far just setting up I am less impressed. Looks like there is no integration with TrainingPeaks, and no way to start work out. Just add it manually.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

So I'm kind of tired today and a little sore, but I have a big cycle I am psyching myself up for. If I don't get in a big weekend ride regularly it will suck because I've not been riding after work due to darkness.

Did a fun comparison, Wahoo Elemnt Bolt top and Whoop bottom: Close enough

Just found a picture of when I had just turned 20. How easy it was to get into shape back then! This is what I strive for at my advanced age.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

Also had my first flat but fortunately was front and we changed that in about 5 min
