Glad I go at 5 AM. Went later the other day while off from work, place was full of fist pumping gym bro's on phones, deadlifting while talking into their blutooth ear piece, fat ladies lying on ground near dummbell racks with bands and balls, 1/4 reppers, Kettlebell swinging bro's, etc...

Silly and embarrassing...

Im loving this new trend of girls just training for ass gains,  they train it everyday, not even a single upper body exercise. Yoga pants everywhere,  waist tightening belts, some random bands that keeps their legs together when they squat! Its a glorious time bros!

My only concern is that the glute ham raise is over-rated, while the good old stiff legged deadlift is under-rated among fitness bunnies

The gym doesn't get crowded till about March. When the people who made resolutions realize "fuck, its march.. I gotta get in the gym. Its almost summer".

I could see the prisonyard gym being less crowded due to inclement weather depending on the state.

Training at home for the winter months. No crowds and after 2 years of commercial gyms it's an absolute pleasure to be back in my gym.

 I can do everything I can in the commercial gym with the exception of the two Hammer strength machines I use. Some of my stuff is actually better than the commercial gym. My leg press is light years smoother and my machine squat that functions  better than any hack machine I have tried.

My commercial gym always has 70's rock on. I like but it's the only thing he plays on his satellite radio.  I switch from 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and today's music. I also throw in some dance music from the disco era. 

The picture is about half of my home gym. I have hex dumbbells in a rack not shown. Other stuff not pictured is a heavy bag and treadmill.

for real details:

long term goal (IFBB pro in men's classic) i will always be in tallest class - goal is 2-5 years ETA

2018 goals
not compete, but will diet down with my trainer partner for his show in April, i will do it clean etc etc, he is also going for his pro card. i will work to maintain a single digit BF year around. after reading dan duchaines book 2x it is possible if you get your shit together. I know i can. my lower abs need some work, calves, shoulders and posing.

by april, i will be quite lean, heavy focus on vaccum poses, lower abs, and calves/shoulders will improve

after being dieted down, i will maintain single legit single digit bodyfat the rest of the summer to just get my skin thinner, practice posing

then 2019 i will consider competing.

i am no rush to get my pro card so i changed up my mindset (compete 4x a year vs. take it easy and enjoy the ride) those are my gym goals

I saw something rather odd in the gym today. An otherwise attractive Indian woman would grab the bottle of disinfectant spray and spray the machine and wipe it down with paper towel before using.

She did this to every machine she used. Maybe she was just a germaphobe or she caught something in the gym before. I wanted to ask her why, but couldn't.

thanks to being old i now have free access to 14,000 commercial gyms. some strange goings on there. some of my favorites are this old guy bringing his grandson in and watching him perform some type of jumping jack cable crossovers and other strange contortions..and not saying a word...the typical screamers carrying on for all the  world to know that they are pumping iron....guys banging weights to impress all who are there... fruit flies dancing around throwing karate kicks and punches like some butch ballerina...gym bros lifting and checking their phones every 5 minutes.... some things never change.
