The oddest thing is he still hasn't responded. Seems like this would be a good time to justify/explain your comments and save some face. Or someone might send that thread to that users CEO.

He finally did and clarified some things.

That must be a rough situation to be in.

@scottalanmiller I love when you said , "It's the CEO's network, the CEO's company. " I've met some people who have a power struggle about it.

If it's working why fix it.

Don't get stuck in that. Just because it's working doesn't make it sound. RAID 5 100 TB array might be working, but it's generally considered unsound, unless you just don't care about your data.

True story.

I think that this is worth a read. If I was the CEO and say this thread, I'd be pretty unhappy and definitely not give this guy access.

with the guy who posted or the it guy he had for years

The guy who posted sounds like he is crazy. The guy that has been there for years sounds reasonable.

The CEO is agreeing with my view, that the guy who has been around for years is to be trusted and the new guy demanding access and to spend money without justification should be blocked.

just finished reading and the guy that posted sure is complaining a whole lot. If it's working why fix it.

wondering if I should go to the gym tonight. I know I should, but I have Zero motivation.

I've been doing early morning workouts, mostly weight training. I'm way too out of shape but even I feel a bit more energetic during the day.

Try like just 5 minutes of a jog on the elliptical trainer or treadmill, after your workout. Then over the weeks/months, slowly increase it by a minute at a time, but no more than 15 minutes.

I can barely do 5 mins on elliptical non stop. so I don't see myself going past 15 mins. Cardio goes after work out?
I was under the impression It was first.

Also, if you lift weights first, you can lift more weight, more reps, a better weight lifting workout overall... cardio, that'll be pretty much the same anyways.

do I do like a quick run or just stretching first to warm up the muscles? Or is that the same.

A stretching fest before weight lifting is also dangerous. You really don't need to. There's no benefit to it.

On an off day, i'll go to the gym JUST to stretch and do a little cardio.

But you don't want to do it before lifting weights.... however, you may want to do a little (2 minutes) leg stretching before cardio.

OH ok ok. stretching for cardio.

You can do cardio before, after or before and after. Whatever you are comfortable with.

OH ok. I thought there were "rules". I think that's why I'm scared of gyms. Because I'm scared to make a fool out of myself.

It really depends on the type of workouts you doing and how many times you are working out each week.

gotcha, I should look for a program or something to be prepared. Thanks

Since I love playing basketball, my workouts is more geared to it. Pilates is another exercise I want add to my workouts too.

One day I went into a Pilates class thinking it was easy stretching. That class wrecked me, it was hard.

I still struggle with most the simple plank form, especially after doing other workouts.

Yes! I saw them w/paper plates so it I was like balancing paper plates that's easy. NOPE.

If you weight train, you want to do cardio after. It's dangerous to wear yourself out before lifting weights.

Also, technically speaking, lifting weights is better than cardio, so long as you do it right (like keep heartrate up, etc).

Cardio after a workout also helps to "clean out the burn" from working out. Without getting into any real detail... When you lift, your muscles work and release certain chemicals. Keeping your heartrate up (like cardio) after your weight lifting workout is beneficial.

nice, i'm keeping this tip.

I really wanted to play that Silent hill game that the demo P.T was made for.
