I used to play left back because my team had no left footed back and I was somehow the best one on left, despite having a left leg that was made to stand on and nothing else. But the outside of my right foot is apperantly quite good. Before that I used to play right back. I kinda want to play right wing sometimes now, but the team is quite new so we'll have to wait and see what positions are crowded.

Playing right or left back can basically be the same as playing outside mid if you are aggressive and don’t mind getting winded trying to sprint back to defend the counter

I played on the outside, will always remember my coach saying to “grab chalk!!!” to spread the field out

My gym has been closed since corona virus. I went 2 and a half months without a gym, doing a real workout. Thats the longest I have gone since I was 12 years old probably. I have been doing some at home workouts here and there since the close. Today I managed to get in a new gym, a real small gym, but it has everything you need. It feels really good to get a real workout in. I will most likely be going hard as fuck in the gym for the next month. My fitness journey quick summary. I started working out when I was around 12 years old, just in my basement with some dumbells and a bench press. I have played a lot of basketball my whole life. Around 17 or so I joined my first gym, I worked out regularly but also played basketball a lot so I was real lean but small in size due to those things and just not knowing about nutrition. For most of college I workout out around 6 days a week. At the end of my freshmen year of college is when I started getting more into lifting tho, and just smarter about how to lift. In college I use to watch tons of fitness youtubers all the time. When I started nursing school I basically had to decrease the amount of time in the gym. When I started my full time job I had to decrease again. When I went part time work hours I was able to get back to my old ways for the most part. So anyways, I will be focusing on lifting and eating for the next month, so this will prob show in my streams, I will prob take more breaks in between games to eat food, and will talk about lifting during my stream if anyone has questions. and ofc here are some old progress pics.

Also I never really use to show off my gains much throughout my life, but the corna virus has taught us that gains are precious and you never know when they may leave you, so some times you gotta show what you're working with.

first picture is from Dec. 1st 2018

Second picture is from Nov. 23rd 2014 (Prob basically the best shape of my life)

Wow that's a long journey, great job. It requires lots of dedication and effort. I was never a sportive person. Never fond of exercise, but thankfully familiar with patience and slow progress due to my status as a musician. I've been training for something less than a year and learning how to manage diet. Sadly, due to lockdown I realised exactly that. Maintenance is even harder in that situation and required more self-discipline. I was only a week in starting a bulking diet and exercise program, for the first time.

Any meal suggestions out there? I don’t cook much. But some nice and easy small meals you can do are. 2 packs of oat meal, with some frozen fruit. Maybe a protein shake or some fruit. Egg sandwich. Little easy things like that are nice when you don’t have the energy or motivation to make a meal but you can still get in some good calories doing things like this. Any other suggestions along these lines?

[BrookG]

For quick meals/snacks, I like yoghurt bowls. I throw some fruits, hazelnut butter (which I adore) or a few nuts to fat and/or oats for carbs. And ofc yoghurt is for protein. Under those line I got a blender and I roughly use similar ingerdients. There is this shop here with all kinds of dried fruits, nuts, butters and so on. I often buy stuff from there. I frequently buy energy bars/cereal bars for a super quick snack.
Oh for salty ones, I make sandwiches or wraps with turkey, cheese, hummus, lettuce, cucumber.

I’m debating if I should go lift after I get off work in a few hours, I’ve done it before but it’s not easy lifting after a long night of work. I need some motivation to get this lift in later.

well I have started doing labour work for the my uncles construction company, some days are pretty intense other days are not for various reasons. In the first 2 weeks i must have bought like 4 tubs of icecream due to the shock of being back at work but this week i havent bought any junk food as such, so essentially since lockdown im more active with hopefully less junk food intake.
