I had a great gym session on the tail end of being sick, and it was weird as poo poo. Normally i can't do volume while congested, but doings 10s at 275 for squats and 310 for sumos had the bar flying so drat fast. I mean, I had to cough after every set and then wipe everything down, but hey, gains.

Hmmm that last post of mine does seems dickish sans context The regulars at my gym are already way inconsiderate and leave weights and plates everywhere, the equipment is broken more often than not (one of the only 2 power cages/racks had caution tape on it for a week), piss and poo poo wouldn't be bodily functions I'd be surprised to see on a bench at this point, the staff gives practically no shits and frankly I'm super jealous of the goon with the ambient Japanese flute music gym Honestly I'd just like to find a good new gym with cool friendly people and I'm not entirely sure if that's a pipe dream ElectricSheep fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Dec 29, 2017 |

Data Graham posted:Picturing Stockholm being made up entirely of muscle dudes swaggering slowly down the street, brushing gigantic shoulders with each other with every step  Felt a little tweak of something along my spine on my first rep of my first working set of deadlifts. Had to be careful with landmine rows, but otherwise no problems the rest of my workout. Hope that doesn't come back to haunt me. The plan is to test my maxes next week, and then come up with a plan for the new year that includes 50% less loving around.

The resolutioners at my gym are like ghosts. You can see their cars parked outside, but they're nowhere to be seen inside and the whole gym is empty by the time I finish my compound sets and move on to accessories.

So I finally made it to Quads and it was everything I was hoping for. Two floors of equipment with Squat Racks lining the walls and small groups of guys probably twice my size doing compounds. Guy at the front desk was the owner and was no bullshit about how I'd better be serious if I want to lift there. I'm definitely going to go back, it's way better than the commercial gym I came from. Plus the rates are awesome. First 3 months for new people is $150, and $210 for the next 3 months. Also they Rickrolled the gym at one point, I almost dropped the weights when I heard it come on.

I didn't lift for 6 days because of the gym being closed for the holiday, and being pretty stuffed up and sickly feeling. I know I had legitimate excuses but it is still loving with me. Did a lovely whole body thing tonight and felt bloated and weak. Totally binged on grandmas holiday junk food, no change in body weight. I just want new years to pass so everything can go back to normal! I need routine!

There is one drawback to the cool gym I visited- no dumbbells, it's barbells all the way.

I had to take a job wrenching on cars and my hands are so loving sore now omg especially my thumbs. Couldn't open a bag of doritos after work last night. Gonna take a week or so off lifting to get used to this poo poo.

I changed gyms to a new place touting itself as "serious" but in the 3 months ive been there its rapidly become a place to cater strictly to the 3 "professional bikini models" there and anyone else can get the gently caress out of the way and it sucks because im locked in for 12 months

To clarify hes lifting the bar while doing raises. Locking out your arms with a bunch of weight just to do leg raises seems unnecessary?

I'm sure they'd kick you out if you're loving around and disrespecting the equipment, as they should.

The "absolutely no chalk or your membership will be terminated!" sign in my gym has been gone for a month or two now. I think I'm going to start using a little liquid chalk and just wiping the bar down after.
