Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[AquaCityBoy]

Is anyone ready for the crowds next week?

I"m not. My gym was extra crowded for a Friday. I know I said the same thing last year but they ended up closing my gym so maybe we did need the extra people

The bench, squat racks, and cable machines are about to be crazy

That's when I start going to the university rec center.

It's a few minutes further away, but no New Year's resolutioners because everyone is still on winter break

You pissing up a storm

Of course. Comes with the territory.

Pretty much go until the color is clear. I knew a guy back in boarding school in Nigeria that had dark orange pee. We knew kidney stones were in his future.

How often do you do legs? The more you do em the less soreness you get.
And what's your routine looking like?

Even though it sounds stupid, make sure you stretch. It helps me a lot.

If you're sore for more than two days and it is something you regularly do you, you should change up what you're doing.

good to hear...i just started hittin the gym like a month ago and done them three times already...the first two, i felt the soreness, but it went away after a day or two...I did legs on Monday (fukkin killed it!!) and it don't feel like it's lettin up...it's Friday night and i'm still wincing and pain when i sit down and trying to avoid having to leave the apartment cause i don't wanna go down all them fukkin stairs

i was only planning on doin legs once a week, but if it's gonna hit like this every time i kill it, i might have to switch it up...

yeah it'll be like that when you 1st starting. everyone goes through that don't be a leg day skippin nikka :bamafdup:
those pains will go away. you don't realize how little you use your legs until you actually work them out
only suggestion i can give you is maybe don't kill your legs on one day, but break it up into 2 days. so you can slow it down a little bit

I dont understand the white rice hate

White rice with broccoli will fill you the hell up and its basically 400 to 500 calories at best...

You can go all protein/fat from there and be good money..

thank you CT Fletcher for motivating me to get my ass up out the bed and do what I do best. I didn't know how I was gonna do it but I did and had the . best time i've had in a long time.

Been gone..,from this thread...for a minutiae. moving to an independent facility again next month, not trying to deal with the Jan/feb riff raff that crowds 24 hour fitness this time of year.


Had a big falloff these last four months, really hoping that setting a more attainable schedule (at the top of the year I was doing two a days 3 days a week and exercising 7 days a week) helps me recommit.

All these people come out during the holidays thinking they can come do a few machines and walk on the treadmill and they got the gym in
