looks like my gym is closed again

[oldtimer1]

This makes a great case for having a home gym no matter how small.  Even a comprehensive body weight routine would do a world of good now.

Right. Well I do drink tap water. Have done so for 76 years and it hasn't seemed to hurt me. But you're also right about the generation gap. My kids and grandkids drink mostly bottled water. My generation is more conservative:
Bottled water costs from $0.89 per gallon to $8.26 per gallon, compared to fractions of a penny for water from your tap. That makes bottled water thousands of times more expensive than tap water.

Maybe it's not all generational between you and I.


How bad is Florida Water?

The most common and widespread contaminants in Florida are bacteria, nitrates and lead. Other chemicals like ethylene dibromide (EDB), tetrachlorethylene (PCE) and temik have also been found in isolated areas. Contaminated drinking water can cause a number of diseases, and is sometimes fatal to vulnerable people. not to forget about all that 'gator poop.

Have You ever seen rust stains on the side of houses and automobiles? Keep drinking that tap water, pops.

When someone dies at the gym word travels pretty fast.  I am talking about the people who actually show up at the gym.

No doubt you are right. The gym culture, specially in those small independent gyms, is very close. At gyms like L.A. Fitness and 24 hour fitness, people don't know each other for the most part. I haven't been going to the Oregon City gym because masks weren't required on the gym floor and people weren't social distancing. Somebody at that gym could die and those still going there would know it.

I am traveling for work and visited a gym in Visalia (central CA) and they said they were going to stay open until the police shut them down. No one person was wearing a mask tonight, they looked at me like I was nuts.

Turn the negative into a positive.  This could be a good chance to try some unconventional exercises or training methods.

Add weights or something heavy to a back pack.  Go to a high school track and do 1 set long stride lunges for 30 reps, take the back pack off, do a HIT 40 yard dash, back to the back pack, and do 30 reps  of deep knee bend lunges.

4 sets of these will fry your legs.

Hopefully, in a month or so, if you return to this gym, the folks there will still be looking at you like your were nuts. Any reasonable person doesn't want other people to die. Maybe all this mask wearing annoyance is for haunt and maybe it isn't. But, if you even thought wearing a mask were a life or death situation for you or a family member, like your mom or dad, would you wear one?

I hate wearing a mask. My breathing in both compromised by childhood asthma and many bouts of bronchial pneumonia throughout my adult life, not to mention issues with claustrophobia and as a person who wears glasses, not being able to see because the mask fucking fogs up my glasses. Sorry if I have no sympathy for those folks who think not wearing a mask is a political statement.

Depending on what action they took and when they took it, maybe they should be in prison. If their crime happened in the last month or so, chances are they have neither been to trial, been convicted or have the been sentenced to a prison term.

Damn! Wouldn't it be great if it were that easy to avoid catching it.

Right. Considering his audience is a bunch of Getbig losers, almost no one here will take his advice about ways to workout around a shutdown. But then, what difference would it make one way or the other since most of them have never lifted anything heavier than a McDonald's Big Mac with fries.

[Methyl m1ke]

Oh no!

What are you going to do now, you big alpha male?

how hard do you get reading my posts?

[Methyl m1ke]

prime reading your posts hurts my brain so as i just put down an amazing chicken sandwhich half pint of ben and jerrys and half a piece of red velvet cake i feel pretty good so im just going to bless you with this

"Armed and dangerous, ain't too many can bang with us
Straight up weed, no angel dust, label us "Notorious"
Thug ass niggas that love to bust, it's strange to us
Y'all niggas be scrambling, gambling
Up in restaurants with mandolins and violins
We just sitting here tryna win, try not to sin
High off weed and lots of gin
So much smoke need oxygen, steadily counting them Benjamins
guy you should too, if you knew what this game'll do to you
Been in this shit since '92, look at all the bullshit I been through!
So-called beef with you-know-who
Fucked a few female stars or two
guy, blue light, guy, move like Mike, shit
Not to be fucked with
guy better duck quick 'cause
Me and my dogs love to buck shit
Fuck the luck shit, strictly aim
No aspirations to quit the game
Spit your game, talk your shit
Grab your Gat, call your clique
Squeeze your clip, hit the right one
Pass that weed, I got to light one
All them niggas, I got to fight one
All them hoes, I got to like one
Our situation is a tight one
Whatcha gonna do, fight or run?
Seems to me that you'll take B
Bone and Big, guy: die slowly
I'mma tell you like a guy told me
Cash rules everything around me
Shit lyrically, niggas can't see me
Fuck it, buy the coke
Cook the coke, cut it
Know the bitch 'fore you caught yourself loving it
guy with a Benz fuckin' it
Doesn't it seem odd to you?
Big come through with mobs and crews
Goodfellas down to the Mo' Thugs dudes
Who's the killer, me or you?"

The various gyms I workout at all close tomorrow, due the huge rise in Covid-19 cases in this and several other counties. Oregon's governor announced this late last week. It was in the Oregonian and on the News. They'll be closed at least until early December. If there isn't a reduction in the number of cases being reported, they will remain closed until there is. Restaurants and Bars are back to take out only. It's almost like another shutdown. 

A lot of business which are on the edge of financial ruin won't survive this. It's a damn shame! If only more people had worn masks and avoided large crowds and Trump rallies. Only one gym I go to required folks wear a masks regardless of whether they were working out or not. Not sure how restaurants and bars were supposed to enforce mask wearing since one obviously can't eat or drink wearing a mask, as far as I know.

Did California's governor not give any warning? How rude! Maybe he did and so you missed out on the announcement because you probably don't subscribe to mainstream news media.

So you really think it's because not enough people are wearing masks, going to Trump rallies, and large crowds? Nothing to do with the leadership. Why don't you google the percentage of people with covid who didn't wear a mask, or got it from a Trump rally or large crowd. What is the percentage of people in your state who actually go to Trump rallies or gather in large crowds?

The virus is just following the normal curve of every virus in history. Up during flu season.

Covid is the least of your viral concerns, given your lifestyle.

Certainly not cuck ass potato farmers like yourself.   My advice was meant for American males that work out.  Three conditions that your bitch ass doesn't meet.

I guarantee that gyms are not the cause of the increased infection rate.

I think it's safe to say that most people in the gym are health-conscious people, who get sick less often in general as a result of committing to better overall health practices in life, at least on average.

I would also say, judging from the gyms here where I am, that gyms have lost a good chunk of business as an industry as a whole.  I don't know if that is true overall, or even in my city for that matter, but if that does turn out to be the case, we're going to see people sicker as a result of that.

Canada has gone into debt $343 billion this year alone over this pandemic due to deficit spending, on top of the economic activity lost due to anti-Covid-19 measures put in place.  That's 27 years worth of debt in one single year.

I hope whatever it is that got accomplished at that cost was worth it.

[oldtimer1]

Everyone is wearing a mask in public. People in general are staying 6 feet away. People are washing their hands. Governors are keeping people from work and school. The numbers are rising but it's due to increased testing in general. Hospitals by me are filling up so I can't deny it's going down hill again. Obviously the measures used  isn't working. Fauci even said that face masks don't work before he reversed his position.  What will work is is a herd immunity, a natural weakening of the virus and a vaccine.

Watch how fast the shutdowns end if Biden is sworn in. It will be magic. He will have a nation shut down for two weeks then have everything completely opened up claiming victory handing out Trump's vaccine.
