a hardcore gym. About 30 IFBB pros train there (mixture of bodybuilding, physique, figure, and fitness). No huge names or anything. Many local people to the area.

But, I can feel the hardcore environment and I am getting huge. The progress is beyond words.

Today's shoulder workout:

Dumbbell Presses
Machine Side Raises
Barbell Front Raises
Reverse Pec Deck
Barbell Shrugs

Good. But are they taking extra precautions to keep everything disinfected? Otherwise, bring your own disinfectant and spray everything down before you use it.

Yes, and they are extremely strict. You are not allowed to train unless you bring your own towel and it has to be on the machine/bench at all times.

I am freaking motivated as all hell. I might have to turn pro. Who knows where this will take me. It could lead to new doors in terms of career path.

The Coronavirus doesn't want any part of my immune system!

Yup. Everyone is required to bring a large towel and have it with them at all times or they are not allowed to train.

This is standard here in Australia, the large towel...

Is it a white towel of the Kai Greene signature variety?

Well, that certainly puts my mind at ease. People bringing their own filthy, snot and sweat ridden towels to lay down on the equipment. 24 hour fitness provides freshly washed towels for people to use while working out in their gyms.

How do you know the gym is giving you freshly washed towels? You have no evidence to justify your statement. Just like I really don’t know if people are bringing dirty or clean towels in.

You think the gym provides them with dirty towels? That they don't have any kinda laundry service going? Does that sound reasonable?

If someone walks into a gym, gets a freshly new towel, wipes their sweat and nose on it within 5 minutes of their workout, their towel is no longer any more sanitary than one that was brought into the gym already dirty.

Hence, it likely matters little. His initial statement sounds very unreasonable.

What if all they do with the towel is wipe their ass with it? Then it's good to go

A towel might help with skin infections but will do nothing to prevent you from getting a virus. Every handle in every gym is contaminated with bacteria and viruses. Wash your hands and don't touch your face.

Are you saying that freshly washed towels from 24 hour fitness won’t do much, despite them being freshly washed?

Which I do.

So, my already dirty towel will not make any difference when compared to a freshly washed towel at 24 hour fitness in terms of reducing my chances of getting Rob~~Corona~~Virus-19?

I name COVID-19 after Robcguns since he has it.
