It’s not that I felt particularly tired after 10’, but my arms and chest could not do more than that. I sure feel them this morning and I know I am going to be sore af. Will try again tomorrow or so. </p><p>Because I know my upper body needs some work, I also did some lifting afterwards:</p><p>3x12@12lb Bicep Curl<br>3x10 Pushups<br>4x12 @ 15lb Bent Over Reverse Fly<br>3x9 20lb Shoulder Press - last set I got six and that’s about it<br>3x7 20lb Tricep extension<br>4x8 8lb Iron Crosses - I’m terrible at this<br>100 Bycicle crunches</p><p>Good workout</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/fitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fitness</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homegym" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homegym</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/fitbod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fitbod</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exercise</span></a></p>

Existential Dread Cat<p>I did some more focused <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Strength" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Strength</span></a> training last night, my goal is to do more of these since I had very good results doing them in the past. </p><p>Mostly upper body / abs: </p><p>- 2x10@10lb + 2x10@12lb Alternating Bicep Curl<br>- 4x10@20lb Floor Press<br>- 5x9 Push-ups<br>- 2x16@10lb + 2x8@12lb Hammer Curls<br>- 5x10 Sit-ups</p><p>Took me roughly 30 min and I can feel my arms today.

Existential Dread Cat<p>First workout of 2025 completed.</p><p>Did a 45 min ride class on Peloton. It was about to start when I went to the bike and I said, sure, why not?</p><p>Sometimes I appreciate the live classes on Peloton because they take away the inertia of “what am I going to do today”, like today. Class was there, click button, receive workout. While I do find the workout structure on Apple Fitness for running and cycling better, this feature is really something. I do tons of live classes because they motivate me.</p><p>Anyway, the class itself was great. Peloton usually has the best music. Like this </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/oELrBolP5mM?si=3fC1QQJ643X1Cxr0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/oELrBolP5mM?si=3fC1QQ</span><span class="invisible">J643X1Cxr0</span></a></p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/peloton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peloton</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/indoorcycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indoorcycling</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homegym" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homegym</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exercise</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/fitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fitness</span></a></p>
Existential Dread Cat<p>So, today I finished Rebecca’s 4 Day Split on Peloton.</p><p>The last day is a 45min Full Body class and I am not ashamed to say I couldn’t finish many sets. There is a lot of work to be done, but I have established a baseline and will revisit this. It is a very challenging class.</p><p>I was not in my best mood before class but the fact that I did something hard made me feel good about myself. I cannot emphasize the power of lifting heavy shit for mental health. You sad? Lift heavy shit. Someone is being a dick to you? They’re still a dick, but if you lift heavy shit at least I assure you will feel better, and they’re still a dick. Money problems? Again - lift heavy shit, money won’t come, but at least you can scream and imagine yourself destroying Fort Knox or something. Channel your inner Hulk. Feels good.</p><p>Anyway, enough of my rant. I feel better now. I still have problems, but I care less about them. I’m the Cat Hulk. Meow Smash! </p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/fitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fitness</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/strength" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strength</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/peloton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peloton</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/workoutoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workoutoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homegym" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homegym</span></a></p>
Existential Dread Cat<p>Another Saturday workout complete!</p><p>15 min indoor bike warmup </p><p>30’ Strength - Rebecca’s 4 Day Split - 3/4 Upper Body on Peloton</p><p>Another workout that I couldn’t finish the last set. This series is great. Will repeat it until I can do everything.</p><p>Happy weekend everyone! </p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/fitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fitness</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homegym" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homegym</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/weekendworkout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weekendworkout</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/strength" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strength</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/peloton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peloton</span></a></p>
Existential Dread Cat<p>I was mentally drained but dragged myself to my underground gym and did a very good job:</p><p>- PR on my usual 10k indoor cycling route as a warmup<br>- 30’ Strength - Rebecca’s 4-Day Split 2/4: Glutes and Legs on Peloton </p><p>Let’s talk about the G&L class because it’s supposedly an intermediate class and I simply could not do the last set. My legs were shaking and I COULD NOT. I decided that I would just do some crunches instead and that was it. One of the heaviest classes I have found on Peloton so far and I do not skip leg day. Will do it again.</p><p>I am exhausted and I feel soooooo much better now.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/fitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fitness</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/workoutoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workoutoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/peloton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peloton</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/rouvy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rouvy</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/indoorcycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indoorcycling</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketooter</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homegym" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homegym</span></a></p>
Marc Thomas<p>Made some upgrades to the home gym this weekend. </p><p>Plate tree for the weights to conserve space. </p><p>Tv mounted on a rollable tv stand and the corner reorganized for cycling. </p><p>Cycling corner is not functional yet, but it’s moving in that direction. Will build a PC for Zwift tomorrow and finish running power and networking to everything. I’ve got a smart trainer (Garmin Tacx Neo 2t) on order and should have it sometime this week. </p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Zwift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zwift</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/indoorcycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indoorcycling</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/VirtualCycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VirtualCycling</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homegym" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homegym</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/fitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fitness</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/WeightLifting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeightLifting</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garmin</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/tacx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tacx</span></a></p>
Existential Dread Cat<p>Did what I think was my fastest 20km indoor so far? And didn’t even die. Something to do with finding the right resistance / cadence. Garmin says my cycling VO2max increased to 46, and while I think that’s ridiculously generous, I use the values (increasing or decreasing) to measure my personal performance relative to myself, not others.</p><p>I rode one of my favourite flat-and-scenic routes, Praia da Reserva in Rio de Janeiro on Rouvy</p><p><a href="http://riders.rouvy.com/route/91891" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">riders.rouvy.com/route/91891</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Soundtrack: The Best of New Order (I sing along while I ride 🤭)</p><p>Question for other indoor cyclists: do you have some type of fan blowing on your face?

Existential Dread Cat<p>I could be setting things on fire, sure, but instead I set my legs on fire and rode my bike for 45min / 25km (that was intense) on <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/rouvy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rouvy</span></a> after work today.
