Anyway I could get my email back mayhaps?
My ex (good riddance) from a situationship I was in remotely factory reset my phones and now I have no way to 2 step verify my email since I don't have any other devices with that email available and my phone number attached to it is old. I've given up trying to get in. Just a bummer since I had a lot of important stuff on it. But since I'm working out rn, any pointers I could get as a semi experienced (lots when I was in HS but that's been 12 yrs give or take) but yet beginner lifter? Otherwise how my chapos doin?
I assume the answer is no, but usually there is a set of one time recovery codes that can also be used if you lose your 2 factor authentication device.
What email provider is this account with?
Gmail, tried several times... And they don't do account recovery over the phone, haven't tried but it said so somewhere or other, it's a potential risk
Part of my job deals with other organizations. Businesses/gov orgs/etc. I've learned that most, if not all organizations, including my own, have "rules", but tevery org alsp has at least one person who has the power to make an exception.
Depending on the org, and/or the "rule" it could be lots of people. A lot of times they'll say you can't do this, not because you can't, but because they've decided they don't want that to be a common/advertised workflow.
So sometimes it just takes communicating with a sympathetic person. They can either help you out or transfer you to someone who can.
It doesn't always work, but it's probably your best bet. If you ask someone and they say no, try a different person. If you're really motivated try a different point of contact. Like instead of chat, email or call, or instead of reaching out to tech support try a related department. If you're consistently getting stonewalled by the gatekeeper, try asking about something else, anything else, where you might get transfered to a supervisor. Then ask to supervisor to help you.
Could be a lot of work for nothing though!
Alternatively, this might be a stupid idea, but see if your old number is currently in service? Maybe you could work out a deal with a phone company or something I'm not sure how all that works. Or maybe you could text your old number and see if someone responds lol. Some people are surprisingly helpful and nice.
Hmmm, I think it my old number is in device again I could give that a shot
For working out pointers I always reccomend keeping it real easy and simple at first.
Don't overthink it but also have a specific plan lol.
Start really easy, and gradually add stuff. Start so easy and clear that it'd be harder to convince yourself not to do it.
Baby steps. Find a beginner routine, lifting or running or whatever exercise sounds like something you want. You can always change it later.
The first week, couple weeks, month two months whatever, the only thing you should be concerned with isn't your results or the intensity, or whatever, but your consistency. Consistently do it, and make it a little harder every time. The workouts themselves shouldn't start becoming challenging until you're at a point where instead of thinking about your workouts as something you need to decide to do, but it's something that you do.
Do you do anything now thats just a part of your routine? Anything at a schedule time? Do you have an alarm in the morning or a set bed time at night? Or do you follow a sports team or some other media program that has scheduled events?
I'll use a waking up example:
It's never "ah geez Im not really feeling it, im just gonna pass on today." Well sometimes you might think that, lol. But you're going to do it eventually. Perhaps you did something you shouldn't have and it sucks and you're in bad form. You did it late so you might not have time to do everything you planned to do, but it's just part of what your day is.
But there's a positive side to it as well. Maybe you have really good sleep hygiene. You have you're coffee maker set to start at 650, alarm at 7. Youre prepared, its so peaceful at this time, you werent always a morning person, but you are now.
Make it feel like that. You don't have to work out, you don't want to work out. You are someone who works out.
Hopefully that's a good metaphor idk good luck!
Lol I suppose. My issue right now is a lot of weird muscle imbalances. Did the pulldowns somewhat easy on a set weight but as I did more reps it became harder, not because of fatigue in my lats or whatever but my forearms. Was able to max out the torso rotation machine though. Press and row are sad for now, which is ok, and the rear delt fly was ok but I guess idk how far I needed to go back. I looked a lil goofy lol. But ur right just make it a thing I do
Generally advice for muscle imbalance is either do isolation work if it's a specific muscle group, and/ or splits if it's one side or another. Like work in a dumbell press with your bench.
You could also deload a bit and work up. If you're straining to lift something now, you risk having worse form and raise your injury risk. You might put a undue pressure on your ligaments/tendons. Also like I said if it sucks to do, you're going to have another reason not to do it. It's a good idea for now to focus as much on form and technique as possible. Build good habits while it's easy.
Look up cues people use for the exercises and focus on one of those each rep. Like one of my favorite ones for squats is you should drive your knees outward as you rise.
Also just make sure to rest long enough between sets. Short rest is used for interval traing, cardio, endurance work, if your goals are power, strength or hypertrophy than short rest is counter productive.
One of my favorite and simplest forearm isolation is finding a bar and just hanging from it. It's not just your forearms but that'll be the target.
Don't do it to failure. Your body isnt ready for that. You should be consistently going for at least a month or two before you think about doing anything like that. Personally I'm not big on it in general but there's lots of people who are way stronger, smarter and more experienced than me who swear by it.
You could also just work through it lol, your forearms will catch up soon.
One more thing is you're not in high-school anymore. Besides just overall bouncyness and springyness the difference between your body now and then is your ability to recover. Working in a proper warm up and recovery practice will be important to keep yourself healthy and minimize injuries.
Any hacker persons? :3
