Wondering how long it’s taking you guys to “get going” in the mornings?
I work nights myself so my “morning” wake up is actually 2.30pm, but it takes me at least 45min to and hour from waking and slamming a can of Monster to just get going?
Are some of you animals waking up and out the door to the gym within 15-20 minutes or what? I feel like that first hour after waking is just dead time, but i just can’t seem to make myself move so soon after waking.

I’ve read this advice on here a few times (thank you to anyone who has posted it previously) but I just wanted to draw a bit of attention to the advice again.
I’ve (44M, 79kg) been struggling with pull-ups despite being regularly in the gym for over 2 years now. I could do a few neutral grips ones but I just couldn’t seem to break that first clean wide-grip overhand pull-up.

Although I’d read this advice a few times, I didn’t try it until literally 3 days ago by standing up on a bench and stepping off into the top of the movement and lowering myself as slowly as I could. Done the same thing a handful of times each day for the past few days and today I just knew something felt different in my back and sure enough I was able to do 4 really clean pull-ups from a dead hang. And I know now I’m going to be able to build those up like any other movement over time. I’m genuinely chuffed about finally getting going with this particular exercise.

Give it a try if you’re finding them difficult.

I’m looking to get an old faded sleeve tattoo reworked, but I have no idea where to even start looking these days. I haven’t been tattooed regularly in nearly 20 years so I have no idea about the scene or prices these days.

Would love to hear some recommendations if anyone has any. Thanks.
