I don't mean to bitch, but [starts to bitch in every post] maybe a proportional response to a pandemic's mortality rate may be more appropriate? ::)
I'm going to drop to 160-lb to give myself a fresh template to start a clean bulk from. I'm going to then bring my weight up to 175-lb, which is realistically the biggest I can be while being pretty lean, without steroids, supplements, or a super strict diet.
And I will NEVER take for granted open gyms EVER AGAIN.
If Ontario premier Dough Ford is just teasing us again, I'm buying home gym equipment and being done with it.
What a mess.
To my American Getbig friends:
The USA and Canada are both in a race to the bottom for stupid Cancel Culture garbage. But your constitution is much stronger than Canada's bullshit "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" which promises us "reasonable" "freedom of expression".
"Reasonable"...that's so clear. ::)
The USA has explicit protections for speech and guns, and when you hear that Canada's healthcare system is so amazing - don't believe it.
In the USA, the working poor suffer the most under the healthcare system. In Canada, anyone middle class and higher is worse off than Americans of the same economic class.
In Canada in 2003, Toronto had something like three lithotripters in the entire city, whereas I believe in Chicago [a similar-sized city] had something like 500. Something like that. You could walk into any Emergency Room in the USA at the time and receive immediate medical attention, whereas you would have to wait 3-6 hours just to get stitches in Canada.
Not to say either system is perfect [and both are suffering under batshit leftism, mass replacement level immigration, and Cancel Culture], but...I'm a bit jealous.
Looks like in a weird turn of events, Sweden was the most sane in 2020. ??? Kwon and Van Bilderass would know.
I'm never going a day without working out EVER AGAIN. on my off days, I'll go just for cardio, just to ensure I stay in the routine.
Lots of lawsuits coming if we ever return to normal though...so I'm under no delusion that gyms will stay open.
Never believe a Canadian who complains about the USA. Without the USA's military support, Canada would fall in an afternoon.
I hope everyone here made it through this scam-demic ok. I've been lucky to have no issues aside from seeing some friends and family scared over nothing but fake news.
Drug overdoses in Canada went up 74% in 2020 - almost a full doubling of the WORST metric by which to measure drug use/abuse, leading me to believe every other form of drug use has increased. I was told that our suicide rate hit a record in 2020 too. Japan's suicide rate went up 16%.
Canada went into more debt in one year than in the previous 28 combined.
But we needed to "keep people safe" and all that. ::)
My advice:
If you get sick - stay home, eat chicken noodle soup, and don't see Granny. Vince Goodrum did a good video on the vaccine which I suggest everyone watch.
I continue to stand my ground regarding anyone asking me where my mask is, but it's exhausting dealing with nutters who literally drive in their cars alone while wearing a mask.
Hoping everyone here is well. If I can maintain my gym access, you'll have my promise that posts will be kept to under 10,000 words, and that I won't derail threads and stuff.
Honestly, I would love to have a takeaway of how to go about just being better to my fellow person, but we've all been appeasing narcissistic leaders to the point of complete self-abasement. And they won't stop unless we push back. So I'm at a loss.
I'm hoping full facility use will open in time...but I'm not going to complain if not.
To my American Getbig friends: not all Canadians are a bunch of libtard, Trump-hating, freedom-hating anti-Americans, even though a bunch of outspoken Canadians are.
This was the first really good day I've had in a while, and I'm worried that things will just close again - but as someone here said, we can't stay scared over nothing for too much longer. Recall 9/11 - all the "Code Red" scares disappeared on 09/12/2002.
Be well.

Oh for fuck's sake. ::) That didn't seem like a long post as I was writing it.
Anyway, why do I have to go to an independent YouTube content creator to hear a critical exposition of the COVID vaccine? ::)
So not ONE PERSON in mainstream has expressed these concerns?? Unreal.

Over/under on number of days before Matt is kicked out for not wearing a mask?
I’ll set the line at 2 days.

I would have guessed the same. But I noticed at a nearby convenience store that the new mask propaganda signs explicitly state certain people are exempt, and list the exemptions. I guess the smart people are pushing back against the dumb scared ones. It blows me away that police in my city [and others] don't even UNDERSTAND THE LAW. And when I was trespassed from Indigo, I literally had full documentation on me, including A COPY OF ONTARIO LAW UPDATED AS OF THE PREVIOUS 60 MINUTES.
You CANNOT make this up.
And I saw yet another dumb bitch walking while wearing a mask today, lol. This is in freezing -11C [+12F] Ontario weather [warmish here for this time of year].

Matt dieting to 160 for a fresh template then bulking to 190?
Matt u cant be serious, youre implying that all the food in your life to take you to 175 was sub optimal , what bulk diet is going to bring you to 175 AGAIN and somehow be more superior than last diet?

LOL!!!!! ;D
But seriously - I am over the moon here.
One gym in town is not doing memberships. They are selling 60 minutes of pre-booked gym time for $10. They are allowed a maximum of ten people in at a time, and are open from 6am to 11pm.
So do the math - $100 an hour for 17 hours each day [assuming they maintain full capacity, which I think they can]. That's $620,500 in revenue for a year. Although there will be some Holiday closures, and Premier Dough Ford may end up closing gyms down again.
But think about the cost under this model:
If I want to work out five days a week, that's $50 a week. With 52 weeks in a year, I'll be paying $2,600 CAD a year for a membership [just over $2,000 USD].
I think the previous cost was $850 CAD per year, and that was unlimited access + access to the sauna/shower. It would be nice to have a sauna after my workouts...not overly concerned about a shower I can take at home.
Not to mention, I will need to register each workout, and might end up having my workouts all over the map.
Also, my gym is not honouring previous memberships. I had a month and 17 days left on my membership, and there will be no refunds.
It's a mess.
I guess I can get by on 3-4 workouts a week if I adjust...and wth only a ten person capacity in the gym, I will have access to more equipment, and I can combine workouts.
Not quite ideal, but I'm not complaining.
And gyms here were closed for the majority of the year...I can't blame the gym owner for not honouring memberships.
But to now pay basically triple for less service I got last year, and way more hassle. That kinda sucks.
What's the gym situation in your neck of the woods, Taffin? Do you have a 330-lb leader scolding you for compromising public health resources?

Instead of crying about the gym, spend that time with your kids. If they are going to grow up to hate you, at least give them a reason.

It's been nice spending time with family, I guess, but my younger sister lives in England [where they arrested Nathan De Asha], and she said Thunder Bay is the most irrational, insane place she's been to for COVID measures.
What's it like in your state?

I'm in FL. That should tell you everything. Everything except movie theaters is open.
Even bathhouses and swingers clubs are open and operating. They started again last August. There is usually a group out front of those places protesting though. Nothing new. It was that way before covid. (different group of protesters though) News stations lost interest in reporting it back in September because (other than the handful of protesters) no one gave a shit.
There are some places that are serve yourself buffet style open now. Nightclubs and strip clubs are jammed packed. Hotels are hurting. There are some deals to be had. Rooms about 1/3 the regular rate now.
I mean unless you were going to the movies often in the past, nothing else has changed.

Yep. I took my wife to a brazilian steakhouse for our Valentine's Day celebration.
Basically, it's the same routine, except you have to wear a mask at the salad bar and use hand sanitizer before you get your plates. Tables are spaced out a bit more than normal. And the dudes carrying the various meats to offer you are wearing masks (as are the waitresses and hostesses).
My gym (24-Hour Fitness) closed on St. Patrick's Day last year and reopened three months later in mid-June, initially with the whole reservation thing you had to do on the app. You could only train for an hour; then they closed for 30 minutes (or less) to clean and spray down the place.
If they reopened before the next group was scheduled to arrive, you could go back inside until they showed up. If not enough of the next scheduled group arrived, you could stay. And it's not quite 24-hours still; they close at 9 pm and reopen at 5 am.

LA Fitness here has been open pretty much as normal for about six months now. You have to wear a mask when entering, exiting, or moving around the gym. But once you are actively exercising you can unmask until you leave your area or equipment. Pool and showers are closed.
Casinos are open. My gf and I went to the steak house there for Valentines. We had brunch at Oceanic (on the beach) with friends earlier that day.

Same deal with 24-Hour fitness, plus no kids' club; So, I can't bring my son with me. Next year, he may be too old to go there anyway.
Did they do the reservation thing at LA Fitness? And when did they reopen?
During the shutdown, I trained in my garage literally using gallon jugs of water and broomsticks to train arms. For larger body parts (chest, back, legs), I literally put my milk crates of muscle magazines to use as weights. The average magazine was 1.25 pounds. So, a crate with 40 magazines was 50 pounds. Of course, the ones from the late 2000s and early 2010s (with 400+ pages) were nearly 2 lbs. The others from 2014 onward were thin (MD and Flex; MuscleMag had gone belly up at that point), barely a pound. Mags from the 90s (and late 80s) were about 1.5 lbs each.
Those and the handles of my pool brooms became my barbell, with my wife's ice cooler as a bench. From time to time, my neighbor let me use his home weight set in his garage.
Suffice it to say, I was quite happy when 24-Hour Fitnes re-opened (although the one downtown Orlando got closed for good; so it was off to the branch in Apopka, closer to my house but not quite as many benches). They have more squat racks but they're on wooden platforms with those plates that are the same circumference but different thickness. They're also different colors: 10s are black; 25s are green; 35s are yellow; and 45s are blue.

Not necessarily that I had the money, but had I found out in time that the Olympia got moved to Orlando from Vegas, I might have tired to go. The only pro show I ever saw in person was the Xtreme Pro Show in 2004 (which was in Orlando also).
My wife went with my daughter and a friend for tea, before our date. While they were doing that, my son and I were playing video games at the house.

Matt, can you put me in touch with your older sister? She's the hottest one, right? Is she sexual? I'd really like to bang her.

Yeah all closed I'm afraid - and funnily enough, our Public Health guy is also a 300lb chubster ;D

There's something poetic about weight-training with bodybuilding mags as weights 8)
Not being a d1ck, but was it hard to get hold of actual weights or something? I'm wondering if there was a shortage, or maybe the prices pumped to unreasonable levels or something?

No, they didn't do the reservation thing. They opened with each piece of equipment on the left and right of you sealed off. So over half their equipment was not accessible. They stopped that back in September. All their equipment is open for use now. Just not showers and sauna.
I have a membership at Planet Fitness through work and go there about once a month, but they never taped off any machines or areas. They just put out spray bottles and paper towels for the members to use. They actually opened up their Black Card area (tanning beds, massage chairs, hydro massage bed) back in November. The showers have been opened too.
When the shut down first occurred, I just started riding my bike a lot more. There was not much traffic on the roads, so I could bike along with beach. I was getting 40 miles 4x a week in the mornings. The fitness center where I have rental property never really shut down, so I was able to go over there and work out some too. It was limited as you can imagine a high rise fitness center would be. Cable cross over stations and attachments, dumbbells to 50, smith machine, a leg extension / curl combo machine.

Not really!! They still had plenty at Wal-Mart. It's just that I didn't feel like spending the money. As mentioned earlier, my neighbor already had a weight set and said I could use it when I needed to do so (as long as I called ahead of time to make sure it wasn't an inconvenience).
I did that, off and on. But, I like having my own and training when I feel like it. So, for chest exercises, I put two crates on opposite end of a shovel handle and did one-arm dumbbell benches. I'd put two crates on either side of my long pool broom handle to do barbell rows for back.
As for lower body, I did old-school hack squats with my makeshift barbell behind the back or between the legs. Stiff-legged deadlifts took care of the hamstrings. Calves were just heel raises with no weights for hundreds of reps.
I did my arm exercises with a broom handle and gallon jugs of water (each weighing 81/3 pounds), to do curls and overhead/French press extensions. Upright rows, supersetted with presses, took care of shoulders.
BTW, my wife found a bench that someone was giving away on Craig's List. But, someone snatched it minutes after it posted.

I remember years ago, having to use one of those stations at the complex where my girlfriend (now my wife) lived for a few months. I learned the value of pre-exhaust supersets (flyes and chest presses, leg extensions and leg presses, etc.).
As for 24-Hour Fitness, the reservation thing lasted for a couple of months. In late July/early August, they extended the reservation time to 90 minutes. At the particular club where I trained, they could clean the equipment in about 10 minutes officially (actually they started about 10-15 minutes before closing time, wiping down anything that wasn't being used). If they had to close at 6:30 pm, they usually reopened by 6:40. So, you could go back into train if you weren't done and some of the folks, scheduled for 6:30, didn't show up.
By early September, they dropped the whole reservation thing and you just showed your picture on the 24-Hour Fitness App. That way, you could enter without doing the fingerprint scan routine. Shortly afterwards, they stopped closing the gym for clean up and have dudes or gals, going around the club cleaning anything not being used (and doing the mask police thing, of course).
I think it's also because two clubs are closed permanently (Kissimmee and downtown Orlando). So, some of their staff are going to the other clubs, making things easier at those locations.

Just build a home gym. Your muscles don't care who's around when you lift. Besides, it only takes a half dozen exercises to get truly strong and buff.

Matt didn't indicate whether or not he owns his own home. So, building a home gym might not be possible. I had my own "home gym" when I first got started. That is, if you count a riggity, narrow-upright bench with cement weights and collars for which you need an adjustable wrench to tighten.
Thankfullly, I got a membership to Bally Total Fitness for Christmas in 1991. I kept it (after my parents paid off the initial three-year contract), until Bally went belly-up in 2011.

Ok then= Matt - do you own a home and have room for a gym?

where r the tits

I don't mean to bitch, but [starts to bitch in every post] maybe a proportional response to a pandemic's mortality rate may be more appropriate? ::)
I'm going to drop to 160-lb to give myself a fresh template to start a clean bulk from. I'm going to then bring my weight up to 175-lb, which is realistically the biggest I can be while being pretty lean, without steroids, supplements, or a super strict diet.
And I will NEVER take for granted open gyms EVER AGAIN.
If Ontario premier Dough Ford is just teasing us again, I'm buying home gym equipment and being done with it.
What a mess.
To my American Getbig friends:
The USA and Canada are both in a race to the bottom for stupid Cancel Culture garbage. But your constitution is much stronger than Canada's bullshit "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" which promises us "reasonable" "freedom of expression".

The USA has explicit protections for speech and guns, and when you hear that Canada's healthcare system is so amazing - don't believe it.

I'm never going a day without working out EVER AGAIN. on my off days, I'll go just for cardio, just to ensure I stay in the routine.
Lots of lawsuits coming if we ever return to normal though...so I'm under no delusion that gyms will stay open.
Never believe a Canadian who complains about the USA. Without the USA's military support, Canada would fall in an afternoon.
I hope everyone here made it through this scam-demic ok. I've been lucky to have no issues aside from seeing some friends and family scared over nothing but fake news.
Drug overdoses in Canada went up 74% in 2020 - almost a full doubling of the WORST metric by which to measure drug use/abuse, leading me to believe every other form of drug use has increased. I was told that our suicide rate hit a record in 2020 too. Japan's suicide rate went up 16%.
Canada went into more debt in one year than in the previous 28 combined.

To my American Getbig friends: not all Canadians are a bunch of libtard, Trump-hating, freedom-hating anti-Americans, even though a bunch of outspoken Canadians are.
This was the first really good day I've had in a while, and I'm worried that things will just close again - but as someone here said, we can't stay scared over nothing for too much longer. Recall 9/11 - all the "Code Red" scares disappeared on 09/12/2002.
Be well.
I'm getting better reading your posts. I was able to get to the word "template", found it kind of funny and inappropriate and moved on.

Perhaps, he should go old-school and break out the Mega Mass 2000. Or, to spare his tummy the torture, a product like Lean Gainz by Betancourt Nutrition may work better.

What was that Weider product... I think it was Chewable BIG Tablets. You had to eat like 25 tablets at a time for an "anabolic boost".
(It was after he lost in courts about his Anabolic Mega Paks).. It came in a bottle the size of a soda can and the tablets were like stall ass sweet tarts.

I think you meant "stale" (curse that auto-correct) ;D
Weider had a whole lot of chewable tablets. Sugar-Free BIG was one of them. In fact, I think I have one of my old magazine from 1989 with those ads in them.
Edit - I found it. Muscle & Fitness, August 1989. It's an ad with Patrick Swayze guzzling down a shake, with Weider's weight-gainer products.
The gainers shakes were: Sugar-Free BIG, Dynamic Weight Gainer, Signature Line Dynamic Weight Gainer, and Crash Weight Gain Formula No. 7. The tablets were Weight Gainer chewables
Edit #2 - I found another ad for those other tablets in the same magazine with Rich Gaspari: Carbo Energizer, Dynamic Muscle Builder, Amino Assets, the aforementioned Weight Gainer chewables, and Sugar-Free Big.
I also found the "Anabolic Mega-Paks" ads, also with Rich Gaspari. I REMEMBER THIS ONE!!! It's the one where Gaspari talks about running out of his paks and it being too late at night to buy anymore. His parents didn't understand why he was going bonkers. But, only bodybuilders can truly appreciate taking supplements at exact times.
At the end of the issue lies an ad for Anabolic 2, with Gaspari yet again, This time, he said Anabolic 2 is what he needs for greater success in the 90s (Again, this M&F issue was in late '89).

I was looking for an old advert for the mega-paks and a GetBig thread popped up

Along with all those ads for weight gainer/protein powder chewables and anabolic paks were Weider's home gym equipment.
Back then, it cost an arm and a leg. But, it would have been useful last year (and, in some places, this year) because of this coronavirus mess.
Thankfully, I had my old raggedy bench with the cement weights back in the day. Perhaps, I should try to find another one at a Goodwill or yard sale, just in case.
-
Oh for fuck's sake. ::) That didn't seem like a long post as I was writing it.
Anyway, why do I have to go to an independent YouTube content creator to hear a critical exposition of the COVID vaccine? ::)
So not ONE PERSON in mainstream has expressed these concerns?? Unreal.
Never forget the Veterinarian wouldn't take 2 doses of his own fucboi vaccine.

The same people who have "concerns" about the vaccine turn around and claim that not enough black or Latino people are getting the vaccine.
Here in Florida, they're whining that supposedly only old people in "red" counties are getting the shot.

That's it!!! Man some of those old magazine ads were gold. It was before my time but I bought a lot of them at a garage sale once. Just reading those ads for the first time.... and I thought MuscleTech ads were high on the bullshit and misleading claims. LOL

There are a LOT of people here that are under 65 getting their vaccines. Not counting myself because it was here at work, but at the end of each day if there are any extra left over, they will not turn anyone away just for being under 65. They would rather vaccinate someone outside the loop than toss the extras in the trash. My gf got her first one and goes back March 3 for her second one. I've sent a few friends over to the site right before closing time and they have gotten theirs as well. Once you get the first one, they will give you the second one with no problems.

It was almost before my time too. I seriously started weight training in 1989.....June 22, to be exact (one month after my 16th birthday).
I forgot to mention the ad, claiming that in 2088 (approx. 67 years from now), bodybuilders will be using electro-magnetic rings, instead of barbells and dumbbells to build their muscles. But, they'll STILL be using Sugar-Free BIG.

I agree with the precise supplementation thing. But Gaspari made himself sound like a crack fiend in those ads.

Yeah.... weird part is that they got their first shots.... they were automatically in que to be given the second ones. No need for the deception.

You're probably right. We already have to deal with out-of-state folks, bum-rushing our borders to get the vaccine.
BTW, what did you think about the old Weider ad, about the future in 2088?

Exactly!!! Fuckboi prick.
Luckily, due to the staggering level of Canadian incompetence in rolling out the vaccine, it probably won't be available to someone in my age range for two years anyway. At least by then, there will be more data available. Though I will still not be getting it.

I remember that one. And I have the old magazine with the "what-if" type article where they were discussing what BBing would be like if it were by WWF rules. It had a picture of a BBer with a full body snake coiled around him "tattoo'd" on. Six months later, the WBF was announced. What a prophecy.
Then I remember this ad... Gary looks like a physique competitor in it though.

That was the emaciated look Strydom had in 1988. Boy, did he get HUGE right before (and during) his jump to the WBF.
The sad part is that, if these shutdowns keep up, Matt may be reduced to pumping those rubber bands.

Haha, he had three? Classic Canning. I'm not even surprised.
Yeah, lol. I had to rotate them, during bans. Sometimes two would be banned, so I had a third. Now I'm in a weird limbo pseudo-permanent-ban on Facebook because I posted government-collected COVID mortality rates. ::)
Whatever. But they clearly want to keep me, as I still get notifications daily.
It would be rude not to. It can't just be OMR getting all the pics. Matt, we'd like to judge your sister's tits on size, colour and aesthetics, please.
My sisters are 42 and 35 now. They've held up well for their ages, but Getbiggers only date 11's who are under 30, so I'm not sure if posting my sisters' pictures here would be a wise idea?
And this... LMAO...nice excuse, Facebook...with everyone working from home:

So, you're going three months without ANY FORM of weight training at all?
No cement weights, No crates with old magazines? Not even the water-gallons and broomsticks thing that I had to do almost around this time last year?

For real. The most obvious plan would be to do something while cutting. Or else he will just end up a skinny fat person. Buy shit now, at least he knows he will get three months out of it and can resell it if the gym reopens later.

Do they have Goodwill in Canada? Some of those thrift stores here have old weights (even the cement ones).

You’re 40 years old and you’re going to go on a “cutting diet” without any form of resistance training?
Are you saying that $60,000 CAD house you live in with your Mommy doesn’t have a home gym?
Your lies are really unraveling fast now Matt. You quickly descending into Goodrum territory.
Get off the fucking internet and go take care of your kids, it’s a lot more healthy for you.

Cardio most days. Pretty clean diet.
It's arguably healthier, but I want to get back to weight training.
Also, my city is very paranoid about Covid-19. I'd say people here are batshit about it. I don't give a shit, but even our own police force have made illegal arrests because apparently they don't understand provincial and federal law.
It's just a headache to have to deal with more legal action when I already have one case against the police on the go. I don't want to explain to two armed police officers what the law is. It's a fucking headache. The mere fact that people here are STILL calling the police on people who are not wearing masks just goes to show the mentality.
Our laws can only hold up if the force necessary to hold them up exist. And as I said - my city is insane.
So I'll be doing a thorough cutting diet. I can do calisthenics on top of cardio, then in 2-3 months, if gyms aren't open, I WILL be buying a proper home gym.
I'm not getting into three conversations per workout with fucking idiots because I SAT on a bench between sets, and didn't wash it.
Again...my city is fucked. They spent over a month building up hope that things will reopen, only to close them again after a week.
Then they did it again.
This is simply a shit-test at this point.
I can do a cut, and still be in shape for health, but after that, there will be no more waiting. Time to invest in a home gym. Still sucks, since my house isn't designed for any level of heavy home lifting.

There's no point in me fighting Walter's stupidity. He knows the house is expensive, so he claims I live with my mom.
Then he says it's worth $60,000 CAD. If that were the case, he wouldn't state I live with my mom. He states that because he can see my house has value.
It's 22 months old, for fuck's sake.
It's also a duplex. The other side of the house is rented for $2,000 a month. That's a bit of a deal, but they prepaid a year's rent.
I could go through my house every night in the middle of the night, room by room, and show the empty house. Walter wouldn't believe me anyway.
Though if he is so impressed with my house that he thinks it can't be mine, it calls into question his own claims about being rich.
But he also claims a 400+ bench, and won't post a video to prove it.
My house is definitely nice, but at $2K+ monthly in extra revenue, I'm thinking about renting both sides.
I do not need the space. I'm in my basement on the couch 90% of the time. Oh - and FUCK COVID MEASURES.

A year ago, they shut down the 24-Hour Fitness clubs because of this stupid coronavirus, for three months. Then they did the reservation thing until August.
The downtown Orlando one (where I normally trained) got closed down for good. Now, I go to the one in Apopka which is closer to my house.
And, OH HAPPY DAY, the water fountains are re-activated. Everything appears to be re-opened except the kids' club (which may not matter anyway, since my son's birthday is coming up soon).

But he also claims a 400+ bench, and won't post a video to prove it.
My house is definitely nice, but at $2K+ monthly in extra revenue, I'm thinking about renting both sides.
I do not need the space. I'm in my basement on the couch 90% of the time. Oh - and FUCK COVID MEASURES.
Jesus Christ you are a whiny crybaby bitch. Holy fuck, you aren’t on the Aspergers or autism spectrum like you claim, you’re a fucking retard.
Go cry again like a pre-teen girl about how you can’t keep a job, pay your bills, fit into society, properly raise your kids, or build enough muscle to not be a walking talking embarrassment to weight training.
Holy fuck, if there is one constant in this world it is that the biggest fuckups are the least aware of the type of losers in life they are.

Are you implying that Matthew is a "deadbeat"?

A year ago, they shut down the 24-Hour Fitness clubs because of this stupid coronavirus, for three months. Then they did the reservation thing until August.
The downtown Orlando one (where I normally trained) got closed down for good. Now, I go to the one in Apopka which is closer to my house.
And, OH HAPPY DAY, the water fountains are re-activated. Everything appears to be re-opened except the kids' club (which may not matter anyway, since my son's birthday is coming up soon).
Now the 24-Hour Fitness club hours (at least, the one where I train) extend until 11 pm. That really came in handy yesterday, after spending time at Legoland with my family to celebrate my son's birthday.

That must explain how I covered 17 contests between 2010-2014, going to Las Vegas four of those times, and an additional time in 2007.
Oh...Walter. He's just mad that I'm stronger than him despite being 80-lb lighter.
My city is very bad for buying into COVID restriction nonsense. Because we have a large Indigenous homeless population spreading it around, rafts of normal people are obsessed with masks.
One thing I found really insulting was the lie when they built up in the press how gyms would be open again, and they were open - for two weeks, then promptly closed again.
For now for me, it's just cardio and calisthenics, and a good diet.
Starting June 1st, I am investing in home gym equipment. Heavier lifting [deadlifts] may be out of the question, but...it will be better than cardio and clean diet alone.
My preference would be to have access to a full facility with a full gym, track, and a pool with hot tub and sauna access.
Unfortunately, I really can't get myself to believe that will happen. It's just been lies and gaslighting since the beginning with this stuff, and it's not like Canada has a strong constitution like the USA does. Even the USA's constitution is not as strong as it was throughout the USA's history.

I'm glad to hear that, MCWAY. It's nice to have a son. :)
Although it's a bit funny to be grateful for things we had access to for our until lives up until literally just a year ago.
It is what it is, but I can honestly say if I had access to a full facility, I'd almost find everything else COVID-related to be tolerable.
Yeah, it would be nice to go out with friends for some wings or something, but I can put that in my rearview without much thought, if that's how it has to be. Access to a gym and full facility - not so much.

You really have zero self awareness.
Walter melted you down like a cheap candle and you admitted to actually crying.
I laughed my ass off.

I don't "melt down". I have nothing to prove. I've achieved all the goals I wanted to in my life, and I can post objective proof of those things [my university STEM education, military background, awards, and commendations, my performances in contests, and other lifts].
And I have a much better face than Walter, who is ugly [old photo below, but I've aged as one would expect since that time].
So you in your mind, some anonymous name online bashing a person is a win?
If I "melt" on here in your mind, I guess my just pointing out that Walter is just an asshole who shoots people down who don't even read his threads.
Ok, whatever. I just hate that he comes into threads to insult people who don't even want to talk to him. He actively opens my posts to read, I don't open his threads.
I've also asked Walter repeatedly to post videos showing he refuses to do that. How does that make him strong? That's a gutless coward to me.

Matt - that looks like a ransom polaroid taken back in the '80s by a French baby kidnapper ;D
"100000 Francs ou je garde la bébé fille!"
Tu as l'air très Français!!

I don't mean to bitch, but [starts to bitch in every post] maybe a proportional response to a pandemic's mortality rate may be more appropriate? ::)
I'm going to drop to 160-lb to give myself a fresh template to start a clean bulk from. I'm going to then bring my weight up to 175-lb, which is realistically the biggest I can be while being pretty lean, without steroids, supplements, or a super strict diet.
And I will NEVER take for granted open gyms EVER AGAIN.
If Ontario premier Dough Ford is just teasing us again, I'm buying home gym equipment and being done with it.
What a mess.
To my American Getbig friends:
The USA and Canada are both in a race to the bottom for stupid Cancel Culture garbage. But your constitution is much stronger than Canada's bullshit "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" which promises us "reasonable" "freedom of expression".
"Reasonable"...that's so clear. ::)
The USA has explicit protections for speech and guns, and when you hear that Canada's healthcare system is so amazing - don't believe it.
In the USA, the working poor suffer the most under the healthcare system. In Canada, anyone middle class and higher is worse off than Americans of the same economic class.
In Canada in 2003, Toronto had something like three lithotripters in the entire city, whereas I believe in Chicago [a similar-sized city] had something like 500. Something like that. You could walk into any Emergency Room in the USA at the time and receive immediate medical attention, whereas you would have to wait 3-6 hours just to get stitches in Canada.
Not to say either system is perfect [and both are suffering under batshit leftism, mass replacement level immigration, and Cancel Culture], but...I'm a bit jealous.
Looks like in a weird turn of events, Sweden was the most sane in 2020. ??? Kwon and Van Bilderass would know.
I'm never going a day without working out EVER AGAIN. on my off days, I'll go just for cardio, just to ensure I stay in the routine.
Lots of lawsuits coming if we ever return to normal though...so I'm under no delusion that gyms will stay open.
Never believe a Canadian who complains about the USA. Without the USA's military support, Canada would fall in an afternoon.
I hope everyone here made it through this scam-demic ok. I've been lucky to have no issues aside from seeing some friends and family scared over nothing but fake news.
Drug overdoses in Canada went up 74% in 2020 - almost a full doubling of the WORST metric by which to measure drug use/abuse, leading me to believe every other form of drug use has increased. I was told that our suicide rate hit a record in 2020 too. Japan's suicide rate went up 16%.
Canada went into more debt in one year than in the previous 28 combined.
But we needed to "keep people safe" and all that. ::)
My advice:
If you get sick - stay home, eat chicken noodle soup, and don't see Granny. Vince Goodrum did a good video on the vaccine which I suggest everyone watch.
I continue to stand my ground regarding anyone asking me where my mask is, but it's exhausting dealing with nutters who literally drive in their cars alone while wearing a mask.
Hoping everyone here is well. If I can maintain my gym access, you'll have my promise that posts will be kept to under 10,000 words, and that I won't derail threads and stuff.
Honestly, I would love to have a takeaway of how to go about just being better to my fellow person, but we've all been appeasing narcissistic leaders to the point of complete self-abasement. And they won't stop unless we push back. So I'm at a loss.
I'm hoping full facility use will open in time...but I'm not going to complain if not.
To my American Getbig friends: not all Canadians are a bunch of libtard, Trump-hating, freedom-hating anti-Americans, even though a bunch of outspoken Canadians are.
This was the first really good day I've had in a while, and I'm worried that things will just close again - but as someone here said, we can't stay scared over nothing for too much longer. Recall 9/11 - all the "Code Red" scares disappeared on 09/12/2002.
Be well.
Wearing a face diaper in a gym is a sign of obamaism - thank cucks like Straw, Agnostic, etc. They and liberal faggets destroy and ruin everything. Bunch of pathetic losers

Perhaps you should head down south to the Sunshine State (at least while DeSantis is still governor). ;D
But make sure you vote for him in 2022; as a bumper sticker I recently saw says, "Don't New York our Florida!"
