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.

Nope, on 23rd and 25th of December though...

I'm going to train today in my home gym.

Abs, power cleans, calves, arms.

I'm gonna get HUGE!

Definitely

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.

Having a few days rest.
Even the greatest warriors deserve a break.
I'll be back in the war zone on January 2nd

LurkerNoMore · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2019, 09:52:33 AM »

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.

Then I can eat the scabs to give me energy for my intense training sessions that start up again in 8 days

It's Boxing day !. Jog on the beach @ 5am.

Not I. Although I may do some bodyweight leg work for my old atrophied wheels.

Will you pump any male anuses? Is that dessert today?

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.

Wallet size is what matters.

Anyone can get moderately jacked with the right motivation and chemical assistance!

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.
