Solarpunk Strength Syndicate
Solarpunk Strength Syndicate rises beneath the glare of corporate towers, a collective resistance forged from the fire of anarchic spirit and the pursuit of personal sovereignty.
In a world where fitness apps and digital trainers seek only to monetize our sweat, we offer a true alternative: a decentralized workout community that belongs to no corporation, only to the people.
Every workout is crafted by the faceless power of open AI, to be freely shared and rooted in solarpunk ideals of sustainability, resilience, and independence.
Here, the machines do not bind us; they are our tools, wielded collectively to build our strength and defy the oppression of technological gatekeepers.
(Ok, so actually I was just bored with my workout so now I'm gonna to workout every single day with ChatGPT telling me what to do. It'll be fun! And miserable!)

This is where my dilemma about "overtraining" comes in.
So at my previous job, I was literally right beside an Olympic Training Center—close enough that athletes would knock on my window and wave. We shared a common area for lunch, so I got to spend a lot of time around them.
These athletes trained every single day, all day. Sure, they varied their routines, intensity, and rest, but they never skipped a day. And even their "light" workouts would kick my ass.
Some might argue that Olympic athletes are just genetically predisposed to handle such a workload. But from talking to them, they didn't really think that was the case. They felt that the genetic part came into play for hand/eye coordination, height, bodycomp, balance, etc. But not training intensity, they felt that was just mental.
Now, I train every day too—though not always at full intensity, but pretty close. Then I think of other examples like construction workers or inmates who put in hard physical work day in and day out. I know of inmates who spent every single day working out while serving time.
Medically, there’s definitely a point where too much training can become harmful. But I think it's a lot harder to reach that point than people often assume.
That said, I’m not a doctor, so don’t take my word as advice. Always do what works best for your own body and well-being.
