Too much work. I need to be able to do @VolsDoc81TX 's after work routine all day long.

Boats and hoes are way too much work and definitely not making any money with either of them,

What has changed in 20 years?

It’s larger so people attack others more. Kindof like growing up in a small town- you know everyone and everyone knows your dad- so you watch what you say.

You got this!

My Samsung watch is durable and has been crucial in helping me stay focus. I'd recommend it if you have Android.

Cardio machine big board:
1. Rower
2. Bike
3. Elliptical
4. Treadmill
5. Being kicked in the nuts
28373563. Stairmaster

Getting started is definitely tough but once you put that time in pen on the calendar, it's easier. Gotta have it on a schedule. Otherwise you'll lounge out of the time you have. I've done it.

Keep at it and remember how much better you feel when your second guessing it.

About to welcome #2 into the world. Had to move the bike setup into the garage along with the wife’s treadmill. We just got the treadmill, but I’ve had the bike trainer for well over a year. I’m at my largest because I am just beat after each day with work and just a single 2-yr old (and probably due to sugar in the coffee). Gonna change that with everything now set up in the garage. One thing that might help is getting an app that recruited a sub . I don’t have a device that measures heart rate, calories, anything else. I used to use My Fitness Pal back when I lost 30 lbs for our wedding. Probably should get that app back and get a device, too.

My Garmin watch is incredible. I get close to 30 days on a charge. It can do all the fitness stuff, tracks my sleep, O2 levels, etc. It also controls the stereo on my boat, can control the auto pilot, and mirror the displays on my boat.

Same. I’ve got the Fenix 7x and have run two 100 mile races- both times it ended with battery. The last one I used the navigation the whole time (30hrs) and it still had 34% left. Awesome watch.

This one is a struggle of mine for sure.

December 31, 2024: This is a time when it will be vital to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. Rise above your carnal nature and give those around you a break from scrutiny and judgment, whether it is expressed outwardly or just in your thoughts. Either way, it is a curse. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Love that line. We need many, many more people to understand that.

Second the rowing machine recommendation! A concept 2 is loud as a Knoxville home game but it’s a great workout that I’ve been able to be consistent doing. $1,000 and it lasts forever.

Somebody taught me that the foundation of any training regimen is adherence. The workouts you do are always infinitely better than the workouts you don’t do. Because adherence is important, finding a workout you enjoy is also really important.

Also, I can’t cardio my way out of what I eat. An hour’s work on the erg is 800 calories, but so is 4 pieces of pizza that I can eat in 5 minutes. Strength training changes body composition much more effectively than cardio in that regard.

Wow. What’s the model?

Edit: saw the answer. Should have read ahead.

Those used to be even better a few years back when they were strictly coin-op. Totally cash business. Not that I'm encouraging dishonest accounting or anything.

 

[InVOLuntary]

It's the Quatix 7 marine. They have one that is solar but it's ridiculously expensive.

Never said I thought he was ready. To me that question is irrelevant. He's a freshman. It's expected he won't be as prepared as upperclassmen. The question should be could he have helped us? And IMO he could have given the talent he displayed in his limited opportunities. It's no different than DJ Lagway at Florida. Was he ready this year? Prolly not. But he was the most talented player at that position and despite a competent upperclassmen being ahead of him Florida still found a way to give him playing time. Eventually he got better with experience and closed the season strong.

If our receivers were 2022 good I'd be cool with bringing Mike Matthews along slowly. But we struggled at receiver this year and dealt with injuries. To me that's when you accelerate the growth process for a young guy rather than getting hung up on if he's ready. He's a freshman. He's not supposed to be ready. But if he's talented he can still help you. And that's what good coaches bank on. The young player giving you more good than bad.

We are a big part of the reason for Lagway getting playing time because we blasted Mertz out of the game. I agree with some of what you said but for every "not ready young guys" who thrives with PT, there are multiple cases of "not ready young guys" who perform poorly, make game-changing mistakes and lose confidence. You apply the transitive property of "______ did it so ______ would have done it".

Are you as certain of your posted opinions as you come off? Because, I can agree that there are times when it may benefit a team to roll the dice and play youth but you're constantly calling for it like you know the hypothetical future outcome. Coaches tend to be more conservative with those decisions based on having all the info possible.

Also, there are just some positions that the risk/reward dictates more caution....especially when you're a running and defensive based team in a tough league with thinner margins differentiating winning and losing. A wrong route run leading to pick six or points taken off the board could have completely changed several of our wins and kept us out of the playoffs. At least making it sets the precedent with recruits that we can get there.

I couldn't hit a golf ball five feet.

Tennis? Shiiiiiiii.

But when you do strike that driver just right for the very first time.

So a coach that used us for a raise (twice), a coach that left us for another school (right before signing day and started our multi-year misery) and a former coach of our in-state rival wants our BIGGEST RIVAL'S, former head coach and one of the whiningest, cheatingest, and shadiest pieces of crap on the planet, and the one I consider to be responsible for the current shape of college football, to become the commissioner of all of college football??? For TENNESSEE and most anyone not named alabama, this is the worst idea ever. The need to shut up. It can't be anyone still associated with an university. Look what happened with the CFP Committee this year. This would be way worse than the SEC Headquarters being 45 minutes from bama's campus. It's an awful idea and shouldn't happen, which means it probably will. Terrible, just terrible.

 

[engineerVOL]

That can’t be real.
