Salam, Ramadan Mubarak! Anyone trying to maintain some level of strength training during Ramadan?

I’m extremely out of shape and have just started going to the gym. When i do squats, like literally by squat 5 my knees are hurting. But i know my form isnt wrong. Do i just have bad knees or is this normal when ur out of shape?

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

I’ve always considered it but now that I’m in my mid-20s and 1. just don’t care about body hair as much as I used to and 2. am no longer showing as much skin as I did when I was younger and did sports that required it, I’m wondering if it’s worth spending all that money.

Is a TRX sufficient for getting back into shape? I’ve definitely wasted these past two months but I probably won’t be going back to work until after July so I’ve got time to build a foundation once gyms open back up at a decent capacity

Hinge advice - I (30F) match with descent number of ppl but then most guys don’t initiate the convo. Is this a SF thing or am I doing something wrong? I used to just initiate convo myself, but then in those cases usually don’t get replies. Any tips?

Folks in Bay Area... do you own a home here and if so what neighborhood is the best in terms of school district? I live in mtv and the home prices are scary to say the least. (2bed min)
