Please tell me this is made up 😭

Honestly it's a cool idea to have a portable printer though, and it could be achieved but just differently.

Like what if you just took the basic design of a normal 3d printer, but made it snap apart and back together, and then made those pieces fit into the briefcase?

You'd just need two vertical pillars, one horizontal rod. Then the print bed itself could move in either the x or y dimentions since the print head would be stationary in one direction.

Hope that makes sense but in my head this solution is way more practical even if you needed to do a calibration after each setup.

My current "default" workout is based on one of his videos I saw years ago. It's just a basic full body compound movement push, pull, hinge, squat 🔥🤩

I get a workout in 45 min if I need to and it feels great.

Totally feel that! Also one thing I learned is that a lot of my "gut" was actually bloat/gas built up. Like I noticed as soon as I started being more active I slimmed up faster than I should be able to, but I think my digestive system just did better.

Also something I forgot to note - get good sleep! I know it can be hard but getting at least 7+ hours of solid sleep every night does wonders for your body.

The only thing I think you might want to look into is doing compound movements (like squats, bench press, rows) instead of isolated movements like bicept curls. These activate a lot more muscle and overall help towards your goal of fat loss. You don't need to work abs individually either - if you are doing squats and other compound movement with correct form, you'll be hitting the too.

Of course not trying to tell you how to live your life! But this is what I've seen echoed from many different fitness resources and chatgpt. :)

I was heartbroken.

Kaos. That season 1 had me and my partner fucking hooked and they pulled the plug so fast it was hard to even finish it.

Agreed! Making it so brainless that it's easy to stick to is KEY.

First off - I'm excited for you!! Your future self will be so fucking grateful.

I absolutely think at home workouts are a fantastic starting point.

I get the gym can be intimidating and if that stops you from working out then do something else.

But major note is: what's your goal?

• Lose weight?
• Gain muscle?
• Just be stronger?
• Something else?

If you are trying to lose weight, your biggest goal should just be more activity + calorie deficit. You can only do strength so often and while it will help you lose weight, it's way better to do strength + walking (or other easy cardio).

I recently lost about 15 pounds in the last 6 ish months and I did it by getting around 10,000 steps per day and 1-2 strength training days per week, and being on a calorie deficit.

If your goal is to gain muscle, then you can absolutely do that with minimal weights or just bodyweight at the beginning.

Personally this got a little boring (if just a lot of reps and for me doesn't feel as fun as some of the gym equipment I use now).

But above all: DON'T underestimate the dieting portion. Whether your goal is to gain muscle or lose weight, what you eat is half if not more of the equation.

Happy to share more details but didn't want to type a book without knowing what you need :)

Good luck!!

Testing Summit rn but will def keep it in mind
