How do you feel afterwards?
I feel pretty ok. Tired but alright. In fact after 8+ hrs without eating plus the cardio, I donāt even feel hungry for a while.
Iām noticing Iām losing weight and some bodyfat % point (the latter, quite slowly compared to kg) Muscle mass remains stable.
Itās probably good for you.
I imagine you should get something in your body immediately after intense cardio. Unless you want to look emaciated. Some people find that attractive. I am suspicious of those people and their hidden agendas. But you might find those people attractive, so. Get it.
Yeah yesterday was the first day I tried fasted cardio. Last week was the same cardio routine but fed.
I ate a fairly big dinner, but not imediately after cardio. I had it about 30 min later or so, which isnāt probably ideal.
I didnāt perform as well fasted, but thatās to be expected.
why not just carry a hammer in your purse like a normal person

why swing at all when you can just brandish and yammer like me
Forget about the hammer and just carry a damn gun.
You know that actual nazis are carrying theirs, and they are fantasizing about getting punched by a liberal as much as you are about punching them.
Donāt need to carry a gun I got two right here

Oh, yeah, I donāt think youāre batman lol
Better to go where the socialists congregate.
i think you have to specifically get in their way at this point but they have secret servicemen
Well anyway
Yesterday I decided to do a full set with weights an hour after walking three miles back from work. Which made it a round trip of 6 miles. Then I went to a fairly boisterous show an hour later.
I am sore as a motherfucker today 
Halve your sets and pump your weight!
That is good advice. So far Iāve moved from 10ās to 15ās to 20 pounders in the ~fourteen weeks Iāve been doing this. There are a couple of exercises I canāt quite manage many reps with doing the 20ās so I think Iām good for now. Probably move up another tier in a month or so.
I know I know these are not that heavy but keep in mind I had never even tried lifting weights before this year, like, ever.
Like with your body weight, itās not about the raw #, itās about your progress. Everyone starts with what they start with.
Have you looked into doing a simple 5x5 routine? People have posted links to a couple in this thread. Theyāre simple to learn and understand and scale down easily to beginners, and they will probably give you faster results than what youāre seeing so far.

Oh! I thought you were at a gym. Yeah, without access to a nice spread of barbell weights (and a rack), you kind of have to adapt most 5x5 routines to what youāve got available. I only have a 100lb barbell and so I do a super crippled wack wannabe 5x5 that doesnāt work terribly well.
Each 5x5 exercise has something you can fake for lower weights. Like bang out pushups like youāre trying to jump. Or squat with a bunch of shit in a backpack. Just doing the structure of big pyramided big body exercises is great
Some motherfucker at the gym today had his laptop out and was typing in a God damn excel spreadsheet while doing reps on a legpress machine
Iām sorry I didnāt know where else to post this but I felt like the world had to know about this incredible feat

Weight lifting diaries are probably good for people and fuck-what-people-think is a good attitude for non-other-people-effecting things.
But then I get skin crawlies from that in a please-keep-dangerous-shit-away-from-your-electronics way.
For reals i just use a paper notebook + pen. Still, not the most annoying thing Iāve seen at a gym
Itād be nice to datamine my stats without having to input the data manually into a computer though (which I still havenāt done)
