Great, good for you ππ», I'm sure you're not gonna have any problem getting back to your exercise routine ππ»ββοΈ and I can see you have a nice view, too from your window. But I only see a machine for your arms, what about your legs? You know how many muscular men are, here we call them ice cream shape body π¦π€π€π€, a lot of muscle on top and chicken legs ππππ€·π»ββοΈ. But of course I don't think that you are like them π

Thank you :) Yesterday, I did some first trial work out to see how much my performance dropped after the break and I was nicely surprised that itΒ΄s actually not so bad :) I think IΒ΄m currently at some 70% of my maxes so I hope to be back at 100% in a few months :)
Well, you can always grab the dumbbells or the big bar and do some squats, which is I also do sometimes but honestly, I donΒ΄t enjoy my leg work out as much as I do my upper body work out :D My excuse used to be that I did a lot of jogging instead (which was true) but now, IΒ΄m too heavy for jogging so I guess I need to do more squats not to look like "human ice cream" :D Btw how about your fitness journey, any muscles showing up, Miss Superhero? :)
70% ππ», cool, that's excellent π, you know, the body of people who use to train has memory so when you come back to the gym, sport or whatever activity you did it's easy to get your rhythm back π, at least ten or twenty years have passed π¬π₯΄πππ
Hahaha, so you don't like very much leg training π€·π»ββοΈ I think that most men don't like it hahaha, maybe it has something to do with flirting with women, because unless you are a soccer player, you're not going to go out in shorts to attract the attention of a woman you like hahaha, but you are going to show off your biceps, pecs or abs hahaha. On the other hand, women exercise their legs and butt a lot because it's what physically attracts the attention of men π, let's say it's an animal thing π€π€·π»ββοΈ.
You are "too heavy for jogging" because of your muscles or because you have gain weight? π€«π€
Well, my fitness journey is doing well, I have gain some weight π which is very good for me although for the results I want I need to focus a little more on the diet, which means a lot of money π₯΄ hahaha, so at the moment I do what I can with what I have ππ»
Hahaha this is a great comment and I think you are right about why men tend to focus more on their upper body and women on their lower body :D But I actually wear shorts very often, especially in summer but sometimes also in spring and in autumn when itΒ΄s warm enough. Oh and when we live in the tropics or subtropics, I wear shorts all year round, I donΒ΄t like pants anyway :D
Well, I put on a lot of weight in the last couple of years. Both muscles and fat, of course :D IΒ΄m currently at some 90 kg for my not so tall height of 177 cm. ThatΒ΄s not comfortable for jogging anymore. But as long as there is more muscles than fat, IΒ΄m ok with that :) I was super skinny when I was younger so I enjoy being big and strong now :) Glad to hear that you managed to put on some weight too, superheroes need muscles to be able to save the world! :D
Hahaha, it's true, women take care of their butts and legs and men of their abs and arms π€·π»ββοΈ it's how nature works hahaha.
Oh, that means I'm a little taller than you π€π» hehehe. Well, yes, I think 90 kgs is really heavy for your height
Yes of course, we need muscles to fight for justice and eliminate the scum of the world ππ» although the most important thing is cunning and intelligence πΌ, always π
Oh you are taller than that? Then you must be considered a very tall woman in Venezuela :) I mean here in my country, people of my height are considered small because the Czechs are one of the tallest nations in the world (many of my friends here are around 190 cm or even taller) but I remember that in Latin America, I felt quite tall :D
Well, the proportion between height and weight can be misleading sometimes. Bodybuilders of my height, for example, often weigh 120 or even 130 kg. In fact, muscles are 20% denser (=heavier) than fat. ThatΒ΄s why muscular people are heavy. But such extremes are not natural, neither healthy of course ;)
Hahaha, yeah, I am 1.80 cms tall, I often hear people saying to me "you are very tall" hahaha π€·π»ββοΈ and yes, sometimes I feel like a giant when I walk in the streets ππ, many friends and family have even told me that I should have been a model or participated in the Miss Venezuela contest π€ but I have never liked beauty contests. I also felt like a giant when I went to Greece some years ago,
everyone was so short π€π€π€π€·π»ββοΈ. You're right, the people of eastern europe are tall, I didn't know that Czechs were between the most taller, I think that the tallest people are from the Netherlands, Serbia and Croatia.
Muscles aren't only denser than fat, they also need a lot of food. In fact, in cases of survival, the most muscular people are the ones who can tolerate hunger the least because the muscles ask them a lot of food. On the other hand, the thinnest people are the ones who best manage to resist extreme cases when there is nothing to eat. I learned that in a program called Naked Survival, the majority of those who arrive with their tremendous muscular bodies don't last even five days π¬π€£π€£ while the skinny ones who look like they're going to be blown away by the breeze last until the end πππ»π hehehe.
Well, if you are 1.8 cm tall, than you are not taller than your insect friends that you take pictures of but joking aside, even with 180 cm, nobody would call you a giant here in my country, a lot of local girls and women are this tall or even taller so we are used to it :) But yeah, the tallest nation in the world are the Dutch, they are really big. But when it comes to individual ethnicities, the Maasai People may be the tallest. Their average height is more than 190 cm. I met some Maasai in Tanzania and they really were very tall. Thin but tall.
Good point about being muscular. It takes a lot of food to nurture the muscles so the big muscular guys usually suffer the most in the survival shows where there is not much food :D
