Well that's my story.

I see so many kids come in and immediately throw plates on the bar. Me I need at least 15 minutes with bands and warm-up bars so I don't die.

Just imagine how good they'd be if they took time to warm up and properly condition.

Inspired by this thread I've jogged home from the gym a couple of times. I did not stop, nor die, but I certainly felt like doing both!

I'm going. I have to go late too which sucks because for some reason over the past month my gym has picked up ~15 people go who go at 9pm. Up from a total of 3, including me.

My gym put out new equipment sanitizer and signs about CDC recommendations and all that and I still see people not wiping their poo poo down. It's a ymca so there's a ton of old people. When corona gets here it could be ugly.

Turns out he somehow gashed his arm and it bled pretty badly and he fainted seeing his own blood.

I'm extremely surprised. I sent an email to the gym owner and he basically said "This is an entirely reasonable request, this person will not be let back to the gym until he completes a 14 day self-quarantine". And he's going HAM with the cleaning and wipes.

Home gym aw yeah!

I'm getting some more strength equipment this week - barbell, some plates, a pulley and a bench. I got a pair of dumbbells too. Dumbbells are very pricey! It ended up the dial adjustable ones seemed most economical but still kindof expensive. I've been working out with boxing equipment which is mostly pretty cheap.

I work out to Grant Green:

Buy a kettlebell of appropriate weight and do 2 handed swings and goblet squats with it. Assuming you don't have barbells or racks at home.
