I lift my bodyweight with calisthenics stuff, pretty much everyday
do you go to the gym?
I attend a gymnastics center weekly to train
do you work out or participate in any physical activities other than sports and I'm not talking about any damn e-sports
parkour/freerunning, been training off and on for a long time (since 2016). Got into calisthenics because I wanted to get more physically capable for freerunning but aesthetic gains are mostly what made me stick with it so long
I don't know if you wanted this thread to be exclusively for people who weight train in public gyms but I'll answer these anyway
how long have you been lifting?
I've been doing bodyweight training since like 2017, started from being completely skeletal and am now pretty above average
what's your favorite exercise?
At the moment I'm spamming archer pushups because the clean one armed pushup is a goal of mine
what's your max bench? and why is it less than mine?
No idea, it's less than mine because I am bench press noob
what do you hope to achieve through lifting?
I think consistent training is incredible for a person like me with adhd, since you're familiarizing your mind with doing things that aren't fun and you have no motivation for, you train just because it's the right thing to do, knowing you'll later be grateful you did it. Would personally recommend trying any type of consistent challenging training to people struggling with executive dysfunction.
The feeling of progression and being physically capable is also great for mental health
