On the list of who you should share your cell phone number with, I believe a personal trainer would make the cut, but just barely. There is a gap in the fitness market between X) working out with no knowledge and Y) having a personal trainer with you in the gym. I would like this service to bridge the gap between X->Y.
Maximus Adonis is a “app-less” service that a user interacts with via text message. A user 1) plans a workout 2) works out 3) logs the workout 3) reviews their workout data for insight and repeats the process. Steps 1-3 can be driven by the Maximus Adonis personal trainer.

Today I am showing you the workout planner section of the site but I am open to feedback on everything.
The workout planner kicks an email off to the user with an embedded calendar invitation. On a computer, adding the invitation to a calendar works pretty well. From a smart phone, not so much.
As the time of the planned workout gets closer, the user will be sent a workout reminder via text message, which is where I believe the value of the service begins. I think that knowing a human is going to see whether or not you logged your workout will increase your commitment to actually work out.
No, but I've experienced wrist pain due to weight overuse.
On heavy push exercises, I use these now https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-wrist-wraps-red-black. Additionally, when possible, I use a false grip to give my thumbs a break.
To answer OP's question, I've worn this for two years when I do long duration typing and mouse (non-trackball style) work. Its portable and discreet. Its helped me and I recommend it to everyone who has carpal tunnel syndrome. https://www.amazon.com/Carpal-Mate-Wrist-Support-Black/dp/B0...
My strategy and goals are, to quote Eddie Strong “.. I go and I lift big fucking weights”.
My 3-4 day a week workout begins with a compound lift and then more targeted lifts. I hit each muscle group twice in a workout. Benefits of compound lifts include increased testosterone and generally looking like a bad ass.
I work my core during each workout to promote stability and prevent lower back strain. Warmups include 10 yards of high knees, butt kickers, and high kicks.
Day 1:
deadlift 5 sets, bent over row 5 sets, barbell shrugs, 5 sets.
planks, side planks
deficit deadlift 4 sets, cable pull down 4 sets, front and rear deltoid lifts with db 4 sets
Day 2:
snatch or cleans 5 sets, bench press 5 sets, overhead press 5 sets
stand ups
inclined bench press 4 sets, push press 4 sets, kettle bell snatch or clean 4 sets
Day 3:
squat 5 sets, close grip bench press 5 sets, barbell curls 5 sets
roman chair and side roman chair
*leg press 4 sets, tricep kick back 4 sets, hammer curls 4 sets
Diet: Post workout recovery shake, protein in the morning and capping soda to 2 a week
Success Tracking: I am writing a workout logging application that provides analytics (maxes, etc.) based on the workouts you send via text message. I’ll post my email address if anyone is interested in trying it out
Based on your comment below, tool, it appears you have a real axe to grind.
"So I'm supposed to pay tax dollars for your salary and then give up my seat on a plane because you're working just like the rest of us?"
Your 'closest friends in the military' are giving you a skewed view of reality, and I am sorry for it.
1)It sounds like your friends were not in combat so their experiences are not comparable to the author's experiences. BTW, the author plays into the narrative of 'veterans are victims' perfectly.
2) If your friends are fabricating their relationships with servicemen who were killed, it sounds like they will fabricate anything they tell you.
3) The military is like any other organization, with good employees and less than good employees. Your friends appear to fall into the latter category.
4) In my experience, there is a population of service members who got to do what they signed up to do (pull triggers, of course) and who have reintegrated into society such that you would not know that they served, nor would they advertise that fact. I believe that these 'good employees' comprise the majority of veterans but they aren't a vocal group (unlike the author) so you will probably not hear their opinions.
I was about to forward this story to a recent law school grad I know who works at an 'in sourced' legal center in the midwest, but then I realized it wouldn't make him laugh like I did. Thank goodness for that $4500 communications class I took at b-school!
