And bands

Get a set of bands and slow down the exercise as much as you can. Deadlifts, squats, split squats, Bulgarian split squats, hip trusts, hamstring curl (if you can hook your bands Orinda something) can all be done with bands. Just make sure to focus on contraction.

There is really not much you can do to replicate squats or leg press with several hundred pounds. You can do higher reps with lower weight but this approaches cardio - which your body interprets differently (250-500 air squats is still not the same as 3 sets of 6-8 reps of 200* lbs)

but the closest I’ve found with no equipment is Bulgarian split squats - slow and controlled (time under tension). You can put the back leg on the couch or a coffee table.

Bands - slow and controlled.

step ups or squats but grab something heavy (gallon of liquid, cat litter...whatever is handy)

If you find something smaller and reasonable heavy - you can try the equivalent of dumbbell deadlifts but if you are deadlifting a few hundred pounds that’s a tall order.

I have been WFH ever since Covid hit. Which I love! ( I do miss the social part of it tho). But I feel ever since then, I became SUPER lazy. (Not with my work) I live in NYC. When I needed to go to the office, I would wake up at 5am, go to the gym, take the train, go to work, come home, cook, spend time with my daughter and help with HW and spend time with my husband. Do it all over the next day. Now my energy is SUPER low. Stopped working out too. Anyone here could share their WFH Routine?

I only have REG left which I've been steadily preparing for a few weeks now. I'm planning on taking some time off to cram more before test. This is the one I'm having most difficulty with. Tips?

My confession is that I have seen the medical field change so much over the past 20 years, that it's unrecognizable in both good and bad ways. More people are leaving than staying, and I am worried the quality of care is dwindling. I try not to burden friends and family with some of the things I've seen recently, but the short version is that I'm no longer sure I have faith or trust in it myself.

I’ve been depressed on and off for about 7 years. I don’t remember what is considered normal anymore when it comes to motivation, emotions, etc. I’ve seen several psychiatrists and they all automatically jump to a diagnosis. I guess it’s easier to just throw medication at a patient who comes to you for help rather than listening. I haven’t been the same since taking meds and therapists don’t help with the way I’m feeling. I’m not really asking for anything here - damn it’s just so hard, idk why.

Lately I have little tolerance for big meals. I try to do IF and would naturally do it because I wouldn’t feel very hungry until noon and have a big lunch and a big dinner. In the past few months, if I eat a big meal, I bloat up. My body asks for small meals every 2 hours or so. This is very awkward socially or at office when I can’t eat much but keep feeling hungry so frequently. Do you think something else is going on that I need to check on?
