I was reading another thread about how some people hate training.
For me, I love training. The hardest thing is getting in the car and getting to the gym. Once I'm there, it's a breeze.
Anyone here have this problem? Training is always great once you set foot in the gym door... the hardest part is getting in the car to drive there?

Without a doubt, training is harder.
Especially when working with lifting gear (suits, shirts et al). Training for 3+ hours, and the body starting to ache in the end, from both the lifting and the tight suits, wraps and shirts.
To get to gym, it's a breeze in comparison.

Hardest part right now seems to be working in sets with all these New Years resolution clowns. I saw 3 different people shadow boxing monday after sets of flat bench ::)

do you do more powerlifting than BBing? Workouts really take 3 hours? Brutal.

For me, I go home, change, and hit the gym. If I don't go straight to the gym, I'll end up making excuses and sitting on my butt!
-
I guess I need to reorganize my daily setup. It's just so hard to find time, or motivation, or I don't know what. When I do step in the gym door, it's a breeze. It's just getting up from work/family for 2 hours and leaving everyday that is hard, I suppose. I see why so many young parents make excuses to let themselves go.
-
Right now I would say parking and training.
Damn noobs all over the place :-\
-
nope.. i go to the gym straight from work...
trainin is like eating to me... or sleepin a part of my daily routine...
probably moreso than eating...

Right. Too many idiots around. Can barely walk without bumping into at least one of them.
-
In terms of cardio I would say just getting there, once your in the gym then cardio for me is a breeze. But training should be harder.....i mean anyone can get into the gym and just go through the motions, but actaully training hard, with intensity I would say is a way bigger feat.
-
an empty gym is not a problem, whatever the time it takes to get there. It's like heaven.
the problem with the gym is when it's crowded with 9 people out of 10 who have no clue why they re here.
-
My problem is getting to the gym. They don't let me park my Segway in the lot and I don't want to get my Lamborghini all dinged up, so it's either walk 4 miles or just watch 'Shot of Love with Tequila" again and again while I 'work out' my grip.
-
If I go straight home after either work and/or school, it is very difficult to get my ass up and into the car to hit the gym lol. Once I am there, then its all good :)

yeah, it was easy to go when i drove to work/school everyday.
now that i work from home, it's hard to make a trip that far just to lift.
-
Getting to the gym.
Millions of gym members (that only from time to time) use their membership after january is proof of that.
The only ones that claim training is hard are those masochist milos-followers that walk around with a giant bottle of snake-oil in one hand - and a bucket to puke in in the other ;D

How far is your gym away?

I second you! I hate the preparations at home, then looking for parking place, the check-in, I also hate to warm up, but after the first set of anything, I'm fine.

about a 20 minute drive. I moved to the sticks. When I had an apartment it was 2 minutes down the road. Now it's like a huge production to go there, if I don't hit it on the way to something.

20 min is not that bad. I live in NYC, queens, and there is practically a gym every 10 blocks :)..I would say within a 10-17 ( i am very precise) minute drive from my place, I can count at least 10-15 gyms.

yeah, i guess for the first time in my life, i'm feeling a serious time crunch... or maybe justification to leave home during those precious 4 family hours each night. I see why so many ppl get married and get fat... not making excuses, i'm still eating and training. it's just not automatic on the schedule anymore.

240 are you setting up an excuse here not to do mr getbig III?

my gym luckily is on the way home and is less than five minutes from my house. the hardest part for me latly is getting a nagging injury. like tuesday i started doing one arm rows and by my third set my bicep was killing me. i use good form and stretch and did a warm up set. next i moved on to wieghted chins felt even worse i had to drop the wieght.
this week im pretty sure i wont even attempt to train biceps.

Yeah, I can imagine that getting married and especially having kids would throw off most peoples schedules. Though, as long as you manage to get to the gym, then its all good :)

take all that crap off and just lift with your own body. and why would you train for 3+hours? no wonder your body aches!
for me training is nothing but enjoyable, if it werent i wouldnt do it.

I agree. This was a scenario between me and my girl the other day.
girlfriend-"hey stud, come over here and make sweet love to me"
me- "what the fuck, i cant. I have to go to the gym and come home and post on Getbig"
girlfriend- "but..but....i am spread eagle for you"
me- "listen bitch, I am close to 500 posts which will make me closer to a 1,000. If you don't leave me alone, i will bitch slap you"
girlfriend- "you have to choose: me or Getbig.com"
me- "take a hike sweetcheeks, im on a role, 400+ post"
-
getting to the gym for me, my gym is only two blocks away walkling and I still procrastinate. They are moving it soon 7 blocks away, to 42nd street, , what am I going to do? Im afraid I will never go. I asked them if they would provide a free rickshaw service to take me back and forth but they refused.

Whats wrong with your home gym, got any pics? what have you got. I just use a barbell and cage, can do 1000 excersizes. Why bother going to the gym. You dont even need machines for calves, just buy a thick dictionary and your calves will grow.

Its great having a homegum, very convinient, you can train in your shorts, turn up the heat, turn up the music you like and save money in the long run. Also great as collecting, you can buy some nice dumbells too.

1) I never said I was doing the show
2) I cannot compete since I am the guy who edits everyone's pics. With $2000 first prize money, you can't have one of the competitors in charge of all the pics.

the hardest of going to the gym for me is figuring out which color tapout tank top to wear
-
I also enjoy going to the gym.Expect for waiting for the bus at which can be a pain in the ass when the bus is late.

since he doesn't train hard he wouldn't know that.
I thought robby z had a million dollar house and a home gym....plus work outs at 3-4 different clubs?
nothing changes very accomplished liar he is.

why not jog to the gym?
-
we re still waiting for 240's 20X 400 squad video. you know the one, where you also use your hands to push along with the reps. how bout that book ''how you gained 80 pounds of muscle naturally''? i think a lot of cats would buy it, too bad it run out.

God you would think you would be delighted to get out of the house. I dont see how people can always "work" (cause its far from real work) from thier home. I would get stir crazy. Makes you feel very tired and lethargic always being in the same place like that. Plus add to it a screaming brat and a wife who is getting so sick of seeing you 24/7 and you her and I would be running out the door.

getting to the gym...
2 kids, work full time on thee other side of town, going back to school, wife works and goes to school......there just aren't enough hours in the day.

Right on....lol. That's why I go to my gym at around 9:30pm just so I can avoid those Clowns
-
I love training :) Especially at the moment with exams in university. It gives my mind a break from sitting and looking at books. I wish I could just teleport into the gym or something ;D
i wish i could have my own gym the size of gold's or something...next door to my house (or the same building - even better)

I do have several memberships, but since I moved it'd be a very long drive to any of the other places. I'm in the sticks now. I lived in a trailer, then an apt and now a home. I don't know where you got the million dollar house number... I can assure the las tplace I'd put a million dollars (which I certainly don't have) would be real estate.
