I know I've caught colds etc from the gym before, I'm not taking any chances >:(
-
I haven’t stopped going anywhere.Granted I haven’t been to the gym in about a month as I’m training in my buddies basement.But I still go out to eat and go to prob the worst place of all the casino.if it’s gonna get me it will.If you are destined to burn you won’t drown.

sometimes I am afraid to go to the gym because of coronavirus. Those days I do 100 posts on Getbig as a gym substitute.

I'd skip public gyms for awhile.

Went to the gym today.

Has not stopped me from going anywhere.

I’ve avoided the state of Washington. But outside of that no.

I've cut down on sharing needles and group butt sex. No other changes.

Wash your hands with alcohol and wipe the machines down before and after use... You should already be doing this. If so then there is no risk from machines.
These viruses don't survive long outside the body.

Sorry I should of said that the degree of infection from surfaces is not great after a short time.
I read the 9 day study, that study is a summary of 22 other studies 9 days is the "up to" figure from the coronavirus family it assumes optimal surface, temp humidity conditions etc. whilst it's possible that the virus can survive days on a surface transmission gets less and less likely.
none of this matters if you wipe surfaces down with alcohol as this deactivates the virus.

No. Still going to gym.

It's actually been a golden age. I have noticed a lot of the lowlifes that make my gym miserable typically are mia so it's wonderful.

NOTHING stops me going to the gym.
I'm a WARRIOR

LOL.
I'm reminded of the childhood friend of former rotund Jewish boy band impresario Louis Jay Pearlman [RIP]. This photo is from the [highly recommended, IMO] YouTube original "The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story", which is on YouTube currently, free to view [a Lance Bass Productions movie].

Seems like there are actual bodybuilders at Getbig after all.
-
Well I'm not going, getting the virus would stop my gains.

No, it’s stupid and people are panicking over little. I have over 150 HS students per day if I’m going to get anything cold or flu related it would be there. Even if I (or anyone else) did, take some NyQuil stay home for a day or two then get on with your life.
7.8bil on this earth and 3000 deaths mostly in other countries and even that is mostly with the elderly and people with compromised immune system. If they caught just about anything they’d be in trouble.
Again...it’s fucking stupid
You have a bigger chance of a staph infection in a hospital than you do dying of a fucking beer virus

No. So far I’ve only seen one old bird wearing a mask where I train.
-
No.

I haven't been in a commercial gym in 25 years because I anticipated a pandemic.
I was so right.
-
No. Don't touch your face, wash your hands. Go when the gym is not very busy.
-
Im still going
What doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger

I will purposely lick every bench in the gym.
Cowards. Cowards!!

Damn right! Our grandfathers stormed the beach at Normandy and we cower from a tiny little thing ya can’t even see?!?!? Fck that! I haven’t washed my hands in weeks now as a show of courage and defiance of the media nonsense!!
Actually - this shit is totally politicized and really is over blown.
-
When you use a public restroom, touch all the toilets and dip your hands in the urinals, don't wash, and touch the faucets and door handles.
Then lick your fingers and rub your nose.
Show you're not afraid.

Not yet.

I am going everyday. Training boosts your immune system plus I have this theory to exercise your lungs. I want to be fit.

Concentrate on correct breathing while you exercise and it will benefit your lungs as well as your overall good health. But, you already know this. My oxygen levels shoot up when I work out and remember to breathe properly. Otherwise, most of the day I forget all about the benefits of deep breathing. It is also a great way to get into a meditative state of mind.

A Bodybuilder lives in a parallel reality so, If your kidneys aren't shot down completely , I don't see why not ;D
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
I’ve opted to take time off. There are quite a few confirmed cases where I train. In the meantime, I’ve been doing cardio at home but no weights unfortunately.

100% agree. I am finishing out the week at work but moving forward I will also be working from home.
Some play are unwilling to sacrifice immediate satisfaction and go through their daily routines as if nothing is happening but you nailed it. I rather not be laid out now for being an idiot and trying to be in a crowded place VS taking 2-3 months and let this shit settle down a bit and be able to enjoy life normally.
-
I better get all the gym time workouts in that I can before the quarantine happens and I have to risk being arrested if I go.

Agreed. Now it is time for me to put my fears aside and go to the gym to work my hams and calves.

Deadlifted today. Am I going to die ??? ???
-
It's deadlift, not deathlift.
-
When I retired I trained at home for two years then I got bored. I joined a commercial gym and started to get a a couple of colds and fevers every year. I blame the gym and partially my part time job dealing with a UN variety of people. Today at the gym two guys were coughing their heads off. Going to train at home tomorrow.
-
95% of all members on GETBIG are old as shit!! hope this helps! ;D
BE SAFE, take precautions!!!

Sometimes you're not very nice to me, but I sincerely hope you don't die doing deadlifts. It would ruin my image of you. Someone told me that you are fat, but I refuse to believe that.
-
Still going to the gym for now but trying to be cautious... washing my hands more often
and trying not to touch my face lol.
I did however just order some work out equipment at home in case they do close.

Yesterday the gym I train at had about the same number of people. One person was wearing a mask. Does this mean he is sick or he doesn't want to get sick? Hard to tell.
Since the coronavirus is negatively affected by heat. Would spending time in the sauna kill it?
-
I'd stay out of gyms for now. Be smart.
Do exercises at home. Bodyweight or use the equipment you have.

I continue to wonder if contracting the coronavirus as a healthy person is a good idea rather than risk getting it sometime down the road when you aren't as healthy. The comparison being the chicken pox which are much less serious for juveniles than for and adult.
There is a yet unanswered question as to whether you can catch the virus twice.
“If you get an infection, your immune system is revved up against that virus,” Keiji Fukuda, director of Hong Kong University’s School of Public Health, told the Los Angeles Times. “To get reinfected again when you’re in that situation would be quite unusual unless your immune system was not functioning right.”
Seems to me the most important thing is to know if you have the virus. If you do, it is only right that you quarantine yourself to avoid giving it to other people, specially those who are likely to be sicker or even die from it. If you any symptoms of the coronavirus, get tested asap.
Much is being done to try to stop the spread of the virus in Oregon. It was just announced that schools will be closed in Oregon. Venues that gather 250 people or more in close quarters are cancelled. Sports events are cancelled. At this point the number of presumed cases in Oregon is very low. But our neighboring state of Washington has a fair number active and presumed cases, as well as deaths which are related to age and compromised health.
I am toying with the idea of discontinuing gym visits until after things settle down. But, I am not convinced that it is absolutely necessary. I'm a fatalist. If I'm going to catch the virus, I will. There's no escaping it. For now, I will avoid confined spaces where a fair number of people gather, such as a bar or nightclub.

Almost 80yo Saggy is night clubbing & rides moped with glaucoma + performs massive bench pressing. Silly old man.
Didn't you plan to kill yourself in December '19 ::)

The last time I tried to kill myself was when I was a teenager. If I said such a thing in 2019, I was kidding. I don't own or ride a moped. Can't bench press worth shit. Vision with prescription glasses is 20/20. Not yet 80. Give me 4.5 more years. I'm probably healthier than you are. Went out for a drink last night. The bar had maybe 20 people there. Had one drink and left. I don't go to nightclubs. Gave that up years ago. Whether or not I am soggy, is a matter of opinion. I can sometimes be silly....my sense of humor is intact.

You are right about one thing. I don't actually know that I am healthier than you are. What I do know is that I am exceptionally healthy, which my doctor confirms each year when I have a physical. He said, "You are healthier than most of my 30 year old patients." Maybe I'm just being hopeful, but I take what he says as a positive comment about my health. Dementia is not something which runs in my family.

You can be re-infected with this virus again. Getting it now won't give you any immunity to a future Covid mutation.
Best to avoid it if possible. Hopefully they will have a vaccination for next season.
-
Trained this morning. I'll train tomorrow morning.
You are all cowards. Cowards.

I'm not saying this isn't the case, but I've not read anything to support this theory. What is your source? Since the coronavirus is so new and not well understood, how would anyone know whether you can be reinfected in the future, other than that with other flu viruses people do catch catch them again. Hence getting a flu shot to help control this. So far as we know right now, there is no shot to protect us from reinfections from a mutated coronavirus.

I am fat, I'm no twink that's for sure.
I have an agreement with several gym members, if I die while lifting, they are to pile more weight on so I don't look like a weak ass bitch. :D
-
I know I've caught colds etc from the gym before, I'm not taking any chances >:(
The flu affects and kills exponentially more people. Do you stop going to the gym during flu season each year? This is a staged pandemic. Nothing sells better than fear.
-
Why chance it? Great time to get a start on spring cardio. IMO
-
did shoulders and tris,
leg day tomorrow
-
Nothing has changed for me.
The gyms I belong to did send out a lists of things being done to keep the gyms clean and asked everyone to wipe equipment before and after use. They also have those motion sensitive had sanitizers.
I've been more surprised by all the hoarders at the food stores. :-\

Well, the places where you probably get covid-19, is shops, gyms, schools, public transportation, etc. places where people gather just to cough and sneeze on the others. They has warned about gatherings of more than 500 people because of this virus, and what do the people do? They panic, run to the store to hoard foods and shit among thousands or others, then they stand in lines coughing and sneezin, while without this they would been quite safe ;D

Honestly, you have a great sense of humor. Where have you been hiding it up until now?
May I borrow your idea about having other gym members pile on more weight should I die lifting too light a load? How lame would it be to have your epitaph read, he was a weak ass bitch. ;D
-
Still going to the gym and work. Less and less people at the gym each day. 4500 people work at my place of employment. So, it is hard to avoid contact with others.
-
Tik-Tok, Twitter and Instagram douchebags filming their workouts stopped from going to the gym.
Push ups, pull ups , dips and free weights at home the last 4 years.🙃
-
Worked back yesterday.
Today is shoulders.
-
Just got back from gym, no one wearing masks, everything carrying on as normal.

Gym was empty yesterday.. Hopefully it stays that way..

Yesterday I worked back. Today shoulder and triceps. Gym was fairly busy yesterday.
-
I'll hold off for a bit. Up the walks in the park. Good of an excuse as any to let the shoulders heal.

Now you wished you bought that home gym

Hi B. Hope you're well and enjoying the fabulous Gold Coast. Remember gorgeous, your face is fine... it's the mucus membranes, eyes, mouth, nose that cause the touching problem.
Stay beautiful.

Interesting about you trying hard not to touch your face. It is a habit. One which we apparently share. I too have been making a conscious effort not to touch my face. Just to be safe, I sanitized my fingers which are exposed above my gloves a couple of times during my workout today using the gym's wall mounted sanitizer dispensers. Fortunately, the gym wasn't too crowded and there's a fair amount of space between the equipment so I didn't find my self being very near the other gym goers.
-
We need to start touching ourselves and not our face.

They could always check the temperature of gymgoers at the front desk and not let people in with a fever.

Thank you Tommy... I am doing well. I am further north of the Gold Coast. Tomorrow I am boarding a plane to Melbourne as I was going to be attending the Arnold Classic next weekend. I have still decided to travel as I have my son in Melbourne and my late husbands family. It’s pretty scary.... all of this. I hope that you stay safe and well.

Whenever I gave my wife a back and shoulder massage she would complement me on having smooth hands. There's nothing wrong with wearing these when working out. I love my Harbinger gloves with wrist wraps.
