Started doing simple dumbbell exercises recently and was curious about what others are doing.
Been trying simple neck exercises too. No weights, just chintucks and isometrics.

Please do share your experience/suggestions/opinions on the it and related topics like sports, calisthenics, general physical health etc.

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

Regarding food:
How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

On a tangent:
Are there cool plants that are less known or that'd be useful if more people tried growing and including them in their diets? Do mention your locality or climate of the plant.

I train primarily for powerlifting, secondarily for hypertrophy. At a high level, that means my workouts are organized such that each day focuses on one of the three main powerlifts (squat, bench, deadlift), plus accessory exercises to address weak points.

You might enjoy something similar if

  • You like seeing numbers go up or big numbers in general
  • Don't like being sore after workouts
  • Enjoy simple workouts

That's kind of an odd question. I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. People choose exercises based on goal, the available equipment, and ability to perform the exercise. So I've never seen anyone do a belt squat in person because I've never been to a gym with belt squat equipment. I don't see many people do front levers because few are able to do them.

How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

If you have a particular problem with meeting your macronutrient goals, then that might be a more concrete question to pose. I feel like this is a bit too individual to give you anything useful. Tracking, I do with Macrofactor. It's a paid app.
