I’m doing these high intensity workouts at home, covering all muscle groups without a break. Moderate weights, kettles, body weight, sandbags, etc. 15-20 minutes is my max. I’m not going for size so I think I’m OK with this. I was worried I might be taking it too easy but nope.

This is all my work with some good AI guidance because I’m fit but age 64. Very specific to me. It’s sort of a CrossFit style workout. All at home. For example of just legs: holding a 75 pound sandbag I walk about 50 steps keeping my thighs almost parallel to the floor. Another is holding that sandbag starting on my knees, and then standing up and back to my knees, 20-30 times. Balance that with core, chest, biceps, triceps, shoulder - keeping on mind hips and twisting motions in combination with other things. I like sandbags because they inherently require stabilizing effort.

The AI help today related to floor presses - I do a variety of them, usually using 35 pound dumbbells but felt like I could go higher, and wanted to know what my max should be given all that AI knows about me. Answer was 40 pound dumbbells or 45 pound kettles - I’m going with the kettles. More would put too much stress on my shoulder.

My objective is solid strength, preservation of joints (which are all great now and wanted to keep it that way), some growth but not enough to affect my nice collection of clothes.

Would anyone recommend or share a side hustle that would complement a banker’s 8-5 M-F schedule? As of now, I do an hour DoorDash before work and after work I do DoorDash and Instacart for a couple hours. I do this as well on the weekends targeting about $200-300 a week since I am in a really small market. Looking for more creative, cost effective, and efficient ways I can supplement my average salary. TIA!

I’ve been with PwC almost for a year now in the valuations group and I don’t see myself doing this long term. 90% I’m helping Audit Teams understand valuations and 10% I’m doing PPAs. I always wanted to go into more a consulting role (ops/strategy role). I also like modeling, but the current modeling I’m doing is more accounting focused rather than finding business value from synergy creation. Ideally I’d like to stick with PwC but I’d switch too. Thoughts where I should apply too?

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
