That sounds like the ideal living room 👌

Thanks! And I passed that complement to my wife too 😊

Glad you liked it!!

Thanks! Forwarding this one to my wife :) lol

Agreed. I prefer to minimally have a pull up bar, but I can make do with only the ground when necessary.

Thank you!

Yes, that’s correct. A small arch should be fine. But if you’re experiencing pain in the low back from the ab wheel, I recommend working on your abdominal bracing without so much resistance. To do this, lie on the floor on your back with your knees bent. There should naturally be a gap between your lower back and the floor. A gap big enough that you can stick your hand beneath your lower back. Now contract the transverse abdominals by gently sucking it in, like you’re trying to put on a tight pair of jeans, while simultaneously contracting the glutes (butt) and you should feel that gap completely close. You should no longer be able to stick your hand under your lower back. Those contractions are tilting your pelvis to flatten the lower back more, and we call this abdominal bracing. Practice this often. Like 2 or 3 times a day, do a couple sets of 10 reps on the floor. The more your practice it, the better. Having strong abdominal bracing will fix the issue. The goal is to brace the abs and hold it for the entire set of the ab wheel.

😂 trust me, it’s not always that clean

The B-Bars are a more versatile but more expensive too, so it depends on your budget. The Ultimate Body Press dip station is great, don’t get me wrong, it’s just more limited because it’s not height adjustable, so its main advantage is that it costs less than half of the B-Bars.

Look for Lebert Equalizer bars. Those are a nice alternative. They’re not height adjustable, but they’re two independent p-bars, like tall parallettes, so they’re highly versatile.

Many thanks

Well, I'm not a doctor, but I recommend cutting out the animal products completely and eating 100% whole food plant based for at least 3 weeks. You can gradually shift to this across several days, or go "all in" in one day if you want. Either way, you'll probably be on the toilet a lot as your system adjusts. Be sure to focus on raw fruits and vegetables as much as possible. Try to get at least half your calories from fruit and vegetables, if not more. It can also help to track what you eat in an app like Cronometer or MyFitnessPal to make sure you're getting enough calories for your height, weight, age and activity level (eating plant-based is much higher volume than omnivore, so people often don't eat enough in the beginning). The idea here is that your microbiome - the bacteria in your gut - are kind of a hodgepodge right now due to the omnivore diet you've been eating. Going 100% plant based will gradually reset your microbiome with the bacteria that are meant to be in there and this will help your digestion be less "violent." Not to mention the focus on raw food will help clean out your colon too. No matter what, though, you will always have some gas from the starchy complex carbs (legumes, lentils, grains, etc.) if you eat too much of them. We're biologically adapted for fruits and vegetables - not grains and legumes. Our most ancient ancestors ate upwards of 95%+ of their calories from raw fruit and veg. So the more you eat of those raw foods, the better off you'll be in terms of digestion.

@@MinusTheGym Thanks man! I will try your advice and include half of my calories as fruits and veggies, I dont know how I will get 1500 calories just from them but I will see, If this will fix my gut problem, i swear I will add you to my prayers. Hahaha, take care!

It's not easy but there are some hacks 😊 For example, cut a large watermelon in half, hold it like a bowl and just eat it all with a spoon. Half a large watermelon is approx. 700 cals. Bananas are pretty calorie-dense too. Roughly 100 cals per large banana. I'll eat strawberries a few pounds at a time. 2 or 3 cantaloupes in one sitting. It's easiest to focus on one fruit at a time like that. Or make a huge fruit salad and throw some greens in there. That's a fun way too. The worst part is the price of it. Fresh produce can be quite expensive depending on where you shop.

@@MinusTheGym wow I did not know about watermelon having that Manu calories, i can blend it too, i was also thinking about bananas, avocados, maybe some nuts too, olives, yeah the prices can be a problem, luckly there are some nice deals from time to time here, i might not go full vegan but i will try my best to at least go half half

😂 she really does

I’ve looked into infrared saunas. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet, though. They’re pricey!

@@MinusTheGym infrared isn't really a sauna, gotta have the hot rocks for making steam to be a sauna. Nothing like a hot sauna followed by a cold plunge--good for recovery and stress relief.

Lol no, but I did get really into alcohol in my 20’s. Not sure I was an “alcoholic” by definition, but I did my fair share of partying

Wdym???
