ChatGPT, life coach

I have no idea how real this video even is, but it strikes a plausible chord. I'm creeping closer to doing something like this myself. I recently acquired a hydraulic stepper and two 20-kilogram weights (for farmer's carries and nothing else*).

__________

*I can't even dream of curling a 20-kilo (44ish-pound) dumbbell. In my younger days, maybe (when I used to routinely curl 80 pounds, which isn't actually much if you're a gym bro), but not now. Now, if I tried doing anything ambitious outside of farmer's carries with such weights, I'd probably give myself a heart attack on the spot. As for the farmer's carries: since I can't walk long distances inside my studio, all I can do is march in place. There are variations of the regular carry that one can do as well, and I'll work my way up to doing those (carries all help the core): uneven carries, for example, and various kettlebell carries. But that's the future. For now, I'll stick to regular carries.
