Met brandstofauto was dit nooit een probleem. Na tanken direct dop erop en klep dicht.

Maar op 1 of ander manier vergeet ik vrijwel altijd om de laadpoort weer dicht te doen na het laden. Gelukkig dat m’n auto geen seconde twijfelt om mij eraan te herinneren wat voor kneus ik ben.

Maar als er iemand tips heeft zodat je niet meer de laadpoort vergeet dicht te doen, dan hoor ik die heel graag.

And this is without even exaggerating. I was holding the supports and supporting my full weight with my arms while descending the stairs. Even just walking normally was a huge challenge after that workout.

Today the next day I can walk okay-ish. But stairs are still a challenge.

He made me do exercises with light weight. But I had to do every rep really slowly. So I felt A LOT of that burning sensation while working out. No pain, just that burning sensation.

Right now it also doesn’t hurt at all, as in hurting from injury. It just feels like muscle soreness (to a very extreme extent).

So what are your thoughts? Was it a good workout? Or did I go over my limits?

My personal trainer is 58 years old. Currently he weights 110kg, he is around 180 centimeters. I don’t know his body fat percentage, but even through his jacket you can see his arms and shoulder muscles.

He said in his top shape he weighted 135 kg while being at low body fat (he didn’t state how low).

So what he accomplished and currently has, is that attainable without roids?

And even if he did use roids or still is using. He can still know how to train natty people like me, right?

Nou moet ik zeggen dat ik wijsheid van Boeddha omarmd heb, in de zin van dat als je altijd maar verlangt naar meer dat je nooit gelukkig zal worden.

Dus hoewel ik ooit droomde van privé villa en een garage vol met exotische auto’s zoals Lamborghini’s en weet ik veel wat allemaal. Ruim 10 jaar terug heb ik al die onbereikbare doelen definitief laten vallen.

Ik heb het leven geaccepteerd zoals het is en heb ik hele simpele doelen gesteld. Mijn doel was een huis hebben, dat heb ik bereikt. Mijn doel was trouwen met de liefde van m’n leven, dat heb ik bereikt. En mijn doel was om elke maand financieel rond te komen, boodschappen doen zonder geld zorgen, regelmatig uitjes of vakantie en nog steeds kunnen sparen. En zelfs dat heb ik bereikt.

Toen had ik een doel gezet om m’n droom auto te kopen. En zelfs dat is inmiddels gelukt. (Nou is het geen exotisch ding zoals Lamborghini etc. M’n droomauto met mijn bescheiden doelen).

Doelen die met geld te maken hebben zijn geen doelen meer waar ik naar wil streven. Dus wat voor doelen kan ik nu stellen in het leven? Wat voor doelen stellen jullie als je al je doelen al bereikt hebt?

Overigens, ik kan ook niet al te ambitieuze doelen meer stellen. Ik ben nog onder de 35. Maar ben er recentelijk achter gekomen dat ik Parkinson heb. Dus het is zeer twijfelachtig wat m’n gezondheid nog toe zal laten op lange termijn.

Make 34 years old. 173cm, 70 kilo, 18% body fat.

Right now I can only bench 50 kilo 10 times.

If I were to train serious for a year with a slight caloric surplus, will this make me able to bench 100 kilo just one time within 12 months of training?

I just want to know if that’s realistically possible. (Obviously I’m 100% natural, all I use is creatine)

Male 34 years old, 173 cm, 70 kilo, 17% body fat.

I have been dieting since a year, and working out since 6 months now. I managed to reduce my weight from 85 to 70 kilo. (I’m ashamed for ever letting myself get that badly out of shape)

Few days ago I found out that I have Parkinson. And since then I suddenly became obsessed with getting as fit, strong and healthy as I can before Parkinson will weaken me. A month ago I got a whoop health tracker for my birthday, which is excellent timing.

So I’m thinking of putting the highest strain on my body every single day which is recommended by that Whoop thing. Meaning that every single day I will do the absolute maximum of physical effort which I can recover from according to that whoop thing.

I’ll also train with a personal trainer 3 times a week.

And I have already been eating healthy for a year, and I will continue to do so.

I will do everything in my power to prevent the negative effects from Parkinson for as long as possible.

What do you guys think? Did I set out for a path reaching to victory? Or have I choosen a path of self destruction?

Since I got that Parkinson news, my world just came crashing down. My wife and I wanted a kid. But there is a considerable chance that my kids will end up with Parkinson as well at young age. And I have noticed most of the symptoms already for over 10 years now. It’s just that now they finally found out what’s wrong with my body

So I’m also kinda scared of getting helpless too quickly. That I will become a burden on my wife eventually. And on my kids if we do decide to have them.

I’m just desperate, that’s why I want to get as fit, healthy and strong as possible as fast as possible (without Roids of course). Because sooner or later, this disease will f*ck me and my health up

Aside from comstipation and loss of smell I check all the boxes of Parkinson Symptons. Those already started since I was 16 years old. And my dad has been ill for over 20 years now. Only recently he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. There is a lot of stuff my dad can’t do anymore.

So yeah, I’m still recovering from this shocking news and figuring out how to make sense of all of this. All this time I figured that I just have a weird body. So far I never felt like those slight discomforts were limiting me in any way whatsoever.

Since 6 months I started eating healthy and lifting weights in order to grow muscle and get strong. And soon I’ll start working out under a personal trainer who will push my body to its physical max in order to get the best results possible in the upcoming year.

Or at least, that was the plan. Since I know next to nothing yet about Parkinson. What should you guys say? Can I still go for it, try to reach the best (natural) physique possible? Or will it only hasten the process of me detoriating?

En zo ging het eigenlijk door voor zo een 5 minuten omdat ik serieus zoveel aan het zweten was. Handdoek eroverheen. 10 seconden later weer helemaal nat.

En toen kon ik natuurlijk weer opnieuw afspoelen. Als elk jaar het temperatuur record verbroken wordt. Hoe gaan we dan nog kunnen overleven in dit land?

Has anyone trained with a personal trainer before? If so, were you disciplined with effort, nutrition and rest? And did you make considerably more results compared to training on your own?

While I did make some progress, and I keep making slowly but steady progress. I am really curious wat difference a personal trainer would make regarding gaining strength and muscle.

I’m already tracking my food to and obsessed level, and I always meet my caloric goal (not too much, not too few). And I always meet my protein goal as well.

I am working out 3 times a week already (without skipping). But I almost never manage to raise my heart rate while lifting weights, even when training to failure as in physical failure, not “oh this burns so much I can’t do it anymore” (so not mental failure).

Given this information, will I make better progress with a (physical) personal trainer

In m’n vorige post waren een aantal gebruikers die zeiden dat hoewel EV’s sneller kunnen accelereren dat ze altijd ingehaald worden in bochten door hun ICE auto’s. Maar dat lijkt mij eerlijk gezegd hartstikke onlogisch.

(Zie m’n vorige post https://www.reddit.com/r/EVMobiliteit/s/NISaxxmXhN)

EV’s zijn over het algemeen zwaarder, en omdat de accu onderin is hebben die ook een lager zwaartepunt. Die factoren alleen al zouden betere grip en prestaties in bochten moeten beteken ten opzichte van ICE auto’s.

Dus waarom zegt men dat ICE auto’s beter/sneller zijn in bochten? Wat mis ik hierin?

I have the GTPE edition from 2021, (cries in poor*). So needless to say, not a lot of cars can take on a car like that. So usually I simply ignore everyone who tries to race me.

But that other day I saw an ICE Mustang racing against an ICE Porsche (I think 911, not sure because I’m not a car guy). And to my surprise that ICE Mustang actually beat that Porsche.

And then moments later he came next to me at the traffic light. Since he beat that Porsche I figured that he deserved the honour to be humiliated. So I showed him who drives the “real” Mustang.

It wasn’t even a challenge. He got no diffed by my Mach e.

I thought it was a funny story, that’s why I wanted to share it with you guys

Je zou denken dat men ondertussen wel weet dat ze het met een ICE auto niet hoeven te proberen bij een krachtige EV. Maar toch lijkt men te denken dat ze kans maken. Toch word ik regelmatig uitgedaagd door mensen met ICE auto’s.

Hebben jullie dit ook? En gaan jullie wel in op de uitdaging, of negeren jullie dit ook?

Als ik op straat loop of in de supermarkt, dan is er altijd wel iemand die ontzettend naar zweet stinkt. Maar dan gewoon echt een nare penetrante geur wat je echt niet in 1 dag al ontwikkelt.

Gebruiken die mensen dagen geen deodorant? Douchen zij dagen niet? Hebben zijn geen schone kleren? (Of al het bovenstaande).

Oké, rant voorbij, kom maar op met de downvotes.

While my stats are nothing to brag about (34 years old male 173 cm 70 kg 17% bodyfat percentage). Yet whenever I remove my shirt people compliment me on how fit I look.

I have been working out for 3 months now. But let’s be honest, those aren’t even rookie stats what I currently have. That’s nothing else but having a healthy amount of body fat which mostly comes down to your eating habits.

But the amount of time, and constant effort and discipline it takes to consistently work out, and consistently eating the right stuff in the right amounts in order not to get fat and slowly build muscle…

Really, big respect and hats of to everyone that is bigger than me and has been working out for a longer time. Seriously, nothing but huge respect to you guys. “Untrained” people will probably never understand how hard everyone had to work for their results.
