2018 Gym / Fitness Resolutionaries

[mazrim]

This shit's a myth.

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".

Dec/Jan/Feb its dead

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

be thankful for all the people that join your gym and don't regularly go, they are keeping the prices reasonable for actual gym goers

Hmm.. I've been training for 23yrs now? With only 5 of them in prison, & I've been out for 7yrs now?.. So, maybe do some research.

You used to have a nice physique now you don't not sure why you still post hit the gym fatty

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.

Why would anyone take the time to "research" you? I do know that your statement was pretty dumb however. No research needed.

I back up my statements. You should try it.

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

[tres_taco_combo]

i also want to get my dick sucked in a gym

Its more fun to take ecstasy with a bunch of pretty Asian girls and lay on the floor. #facts

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.

[Nether Animal]

Gym was ridiculously crowded today. Worst it has ever been since I started going there 2.5 years ago. Lots of girls wearing skin tight leggings looking for attention.

If you are considering going pro then that's not really a good idea...

Seriously.  The people who sign up in January but stop coming after February subsidize the gym for everyone else

that only applies to big chain gyms.
Our gym is £20 a month no memberships...

[heenok]

They wont last...
Look on craiglist the amount of fitness equipment people sell. On average they train 3 months and quit.

Maybe in the gym you work out in but both gyms I go to have had a big influx of newbs since Jan1.

[funk51]

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.

[2ND COMING]

The last few years ive kept a physical calendar and mark the days i train. Dec/Jan/Feb I always slow down. I think it's the cold.

Great post. Which Duchaine book are you reading (there may only be one I don't know)? Are you doing his diet?
