Title: Who's training today? (On Christmas?)
Post by: Powerlift66 on December 25, 2019, 05:43:39 AM
If you are, what are you training? Most gym's are closed. (I know 2 of the 3, that I go to are) but maybe the 3rd one is open.
(24-hour Crunch Fitness).

If it is closed, I'll use my 4th option (home gym). (Would normally be 1st choice, but I like getting out for a bit since I'll be in all day).

Deadlift
Back
Traps

Wife and daughters are going to the inlaws/outlaws, I'm staying home with "Little Olive" the Pitbull.
When I asked Little-Olly what she thought of holidays, she stuck out her tongue and gave me a raspberry.

Trained shoulders/arms this morning around 2:00am. I'm a graveyard shift worker, use to being up all night. My gym has 24/7 access. You just swipe yourself in, even when it's not staffed.

No. I train so consistently throughout the year that on holidays and vacation I relax.

Oh brother, not another training on Xmas day thread.  Why not spend the day with family and friends?  Ain't no one cracking the Top 5 at the Arnold on here so take a day off.

I'm heading to the beach and then having a grill out with 17 friends at my house later.  It's one of the very few days that all of us have off and can meet up.

If you look like shit on the 24th, a work out on the 25th ain't gonna change much.

If you mean bodybuilding workouts, no.  Boring.

This particular plan is to get me a max deadlift then run 5 miles under 38 minutes.  I had set a goal to have a balance of strength and stamina by end of January.

Got dressed for lifting and the wife said 30 minutes to Christmas dinner. I will get a good night's sleep and kick it in the morning. Truth be told if I looked at training logically I'd take the whole week off.

2. - I'm heading to the beach and then having a grill out with 17 friends at my house later.  It's one of the very few days that all of us have off and can meet up.

3. - If you look like shit on the 24th, a work out on the 25th ain't gonna change much.

1. Nah, with them non-stop throughout the year. On vacation, so I do my own thing rather than sit in a loud house full of Italians yapping.
2. The beach thing sounds great, I'm in NH, so the beaches are frozen.
3. While I don't look like shite too bad, it's enjoyable being in the gym. Relaxing. I did see a classic "Iron Beast Gym Idiot" this AM (besides looking in the mirror) this one is "new thread" worthy.

PL,

I commend you for going your own way but how do you get out of the family get-together?

What do the relatives think about you not showing up?  I get it...you don't care.

Still, how does it all work out?

They (inlaws and my Ma) were a little butt-hurt over it initially. MY wife & kids had to talk some sense into them (hard to do to Italian's in their 70's BTW).
"He see's you almost every weekend, all year 'round, you live right around the corner for god's sake" (Stuff like that).
Explains how "loud and crazy they are, while he (I) sit in the other room and don't say anything unless they ask me something".

Took a few years now for them to get used to, but it seems they are now over it and understand.
The craziness isn't for everyone.
Wife told them "its not about you, its how he wants to spend his holidays (in quiet), people can do what they want".

They're getting it.

IN,

The other thing that may make it easier than some (like if a newly-wed tried to pull that off) is wife and I have been together 36 years, since 1983 (age 16) married now for 30 years. (Since 1989).
So everyone (hopefully) gets my personality. (Its still a bit hard I bet, for that age (old-school Italian w/ their traditions) to fully get it.

Completed today, not yesterday.

Sprints a 6.0-6.5 minute mile pace.

Couldn't do the L holds though.  Did flutter kicks instead.

I bench press now, but I do them for delts as I dont press overheard at all, chest is now cables and machine flys, I have started just doing excercises I can actually feel making the muscle work, my pecs get zero out of and flat or incline work, they just dont pump up
