Thanks for this summary! I was not aware of this article: "Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate".
It sounded a bit counter-intuitive, but I'm gonna read this article
I stopped eating animal products roughly three years ago, but I don't remember when exactly...
M y whole life is meaningless since I can't eat grass and rocks to celebrate my veganiversaries.
Thanks for your input!
My biggest challenge at the moment is going to the gym regularly, that's why I train everything I can at home, and the rest at the gym. Once I acquire the habit of going to the gym regularly, I will try to add more workouts and more time there.
- I would love to do pull-ups at home but I can't. I don't have any suitable doorframe, nor can I pierce my walls to install a bar, since I'm renting.
- For the chest progression: I'm planning on reaching ~20 deficit push-up (that means doubling my current number of reps), then I will train the chest in the gym, with dumbell bench press for instance.
- For the glutes: same thing. I'm planning on reaching around 20 pistol squats (I can do 8 reps, so that leaves me some room for progression), then I will train with some barbell squat in the gym
I indeed overlooked the hip hinge, I will do traditional deadlift instead of romanian. I'm using dumbells because I don't lift very heavy at the moment, and using dumbells is quicker than setting up a barbell, so that means I can spend more time exercising meaningfully.
Thanks for your input, maybe it was not clear, but yes I'm aware of the need to progressively overload, that's why I wrote between parentheses my current state.
For example, concerning pistol squats, I can do sets of 8 reps, and I plan on adding reps when I can. And for deadlift, I plan on adding weight.
And I did not find a lot of resources about schedules that mix the workout locations (at home/in the gym).
Hi! I can currently train once a week in my local gym, and I like to train at home with some bodyweight exercises and resistance bands. I'd like your input on my current workout schedule.
I would like to focus on basic strength (squat / push up / deadlift / pull ups) and a bit of muscle mass, with a sprinkle of some calisthenics skills, such as the handstand, currently.
-
Monday: home workout
- Pistol squats: 3 sets for each leg, with an 8kg (17?6 lbs) backpack (I can currently do sets of 8 reps)
- Decline push-ups (superset with previous exercise to save some time): 3 sets (I can do 10 decline push-ups in a row)
- Bodyweight row with a TRX band: 3 sets (currently at 16 reps)
- Abs crunch with a resistance band: 3 sets
-
Wednesday: gym workout
- Pull-ups: 3 sets (I can do sets of 4 clean pull-ups)
- Seated calf raise machine: 3 sets of 10 reps (currently at 39 kg/86lbs per leg)
- Romanian dumbell deadlift: 3 sets of 10 reps (currently lifting with a 30kg/66lbs dumbell in each hand)
-
Thursday: running/zone 2 cardio
- I run about 5km in around 30 min
I would like to use the gym to train the muscles I can't efficiently hit at home: hamstrings, calves and lats, mainly.
What exercises am I missing? I can easily add more exercises when I'm home, such as chest flies with a resistance band, superman, etc.
Great work! This reminds me of sky islands in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom!
Following another ultramarathon win, athlete Trishul Cherns thanked his vegan diet for his ongoing triumphs in the running and sporting world
Detailed analysis finds plant diets lead to 75% less climate-heating emissions, water pollution and land use than meat-rich ones

- À Nantes, la part de bio dans les cantines s’établit à 41 %, soit une augmentation de 21 points de pourcentage entre 2020 et 2022.
- De 2016 à 2019, la dette par habitant a connu une baisse de 6,1 %, avant de subir une augmentation de 17 % entre 2020 et 2021. D’autre part, le besoin de financement de la ville se dégrade largement en 2021, pour s’établir à 34 millions d’euros alors que la ville avait une capacité de financement moyenne de 9 millions d’euros entre 2016 et 2019.
- Nantes prévoit de planter 25 000 arbres durant le mandat, mais n’a publié aucun bilan sur le nombre d’arbres plantés à ce jour. La ville a en revanche artificialisé près de 3 hectares entre 2020 et 2021.
La 12è édition du Voyage à Nantes a démarré le 1er juillet dernier, avec une programmation très orientée vers le statuaire de la ville. Certaines œuvres sont particulièrement marquantes et le public est nombreux et sous le charme !
> Et le pari semble gagné, près de 80.000 personnes sont déjà venues découvrir les statues. En 2022, le Voyage à Nantes avait attiré près de 600.000 visiteurs dans les rues de la ville. Le VAN 2023, c'est jusqu'au 3 septembre prochain.
Contrairement aux TGV (Ouigo et Inoui) et aux trains Intercités, voyager en train avec son vélo est gratuit dans les TER et sans réservation. Mais souvent, et surtout l'été, c'est compliqué de trouver une place. Reportage auprès des usagers à la gare de Nantes.
Lors d’une conférence de presse donnée mercredi 12 juillet depuis Tours, le président socialiste de la Région Centre-Val de Loire a dévoilé les résultats de l'enquête diligentée en 2022 autour des progressions et retombées économiques de La Loire à vélo. Celles-ci traduisent, selon François Bonneau,...
Despite large differences in farming practices across the world, plant-based protein sources still have a lower footprint than the lowest-impact meat products.

Or not! We could have magnificent forests, for instance.
If everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%. This large reduction of agricultural land use would be possible thanks to a reduction in land used for grazing and a smaller need for land to grow crops.
>Summary > > Half of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture, with most of this used to raise livestock for dairy and meat. Livestock are fed from two sources – lands on which the animals graze and land on which feeding crops, such as soy and cereals, are grown. How much would our agricultural land use decline if the world adopted a plant-based diet? > > Research suggests that if everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%. This large reduction of agricultural land use would be possible thanks to a reduction in land used for grazing and a smaller need for land to grow crops. The research also shows that cutting out beef and dairy (by substituting chicken, eggs, fish or plant-based food) has a much larger impact than eliminating chicken or fish.
For music instruments, you can get books aimed at beginners if you want to reduce your screen time. And for arts and crafts, like I said, you can try water color, pencil drawing, knitting, etc
Music playing? Like guitar, ukulele, keyboard, harmonica
Or arts and craft, like watercolor, knitting, etc
