I haven’t been to a commercial gym in about 8 years but the last one I was a member for about 15 years.There was this guy there about my age I saw him every January for 7 years.He would tell me this is the year buddy.He was gone by February every year and after a few years of this I would see him and I would ask “this the year?” He would laugh and say I hope so but he gave up every time.
One of my best friends was like that. For years he'd get all pumped up to workout from January to February, then never seen again.
He'd beg to train with me, and it drove me nuts. But i knew him since 6th grade so i let him tag along.
He'd train for like 2 hours doing massive amounts of sets to failure. Never once did he listen to me or follow the workouts i gave him.
Then he would complain about being in pain all the time. He was wearing himself out in a matter of weeks.
It was like he was trying to make up for lost time by training way too much.
Would always get some weird shoulder or knee pain and fuck off for the rest of the year.
He did this for like 10 years.
I still mess with him about it; text him every new year asking if he wants to workout together.
