It`s 155 dollars for 3 months for seniors.

Only other gym in town was $700.00 per year....I trained there for 12 years occasionally alternating between the two to alleviate boredom.

Wes - I have a question if you don't mind.  At what point will you be re-introducing the nice french toast into your regimen?

I do 3 sets per exercise nowadays but i probably will/would get the same results with 2 all out sets.
I did in the past on an upper/Lower split do 5 sets on Squats & Stiff Legged deads but that was the only exercises i did, with intensity i might add
Just see people in the Gym going through long workouts with no real intent  :-\

I believe you  :)
I´m still into my martial arts stuff so for me i use weight traing with Bodyweight stuff to supplement my skills
I know for example that Deadlifts are not really a benefit for a "Bodybuilder" but as i wrote on another thread i like my Trap Bar i got & it is useful for me in my training.
keep pumpin´Wes !

I drove all the way to the gym only to find out it was closed due to it being Memorial Day.  >:(

I then drove over to St. Lawrence University and walked in like I was a member and trained on the sly and left.......they want 20 dollars for a day pass......fuck the dumb stuff!!  ;D

I figured they owed me a free workout since I paid them $700.00 a year for 12 years straight..............gr eat/huge gym !!

5/25/26

Chest:
Smith Inclines - 3 X 15,8,8
DB Flyes - 3 X 10
Seated Bench Press Machine - 3 X 10

Back:
Lat Pulldowns - 3 X 15,12,12
Seated Cable Rows - 3 X 15,12,10
Straight -Arm Pulldowns - 3 X 15,12,12,

Neck:
Nautilus 4-Way Neck Machine - 12-15 reps in each of the 4 positions

Fucking place has everything,even an "Arm Blaster" and "Fat Grips" but they removed a nice Hperextension Machine,it was the only thing missing....fucking morons...and they got a ton of new stuff as well.

I`ve come to the conclusion that I`m one weak bastard after being unable to do any physical activity for around 2 years.....it`s gonna` be a long hard road back.....the longest ever.......but it ain`t my first rodeo.

FUCK CANCER!!
