some of the best gyms i have seen in my life have been HS weight roomsHigh schools be having weight rooms like that?.... Canada really sucks when it comes to collegiate athletics. A weightroom like that wouldn't even be in 90% of the universities here..... only the "big names" would have a "decent" setup......
i went to some rando ass HS out in Indiana for work once w/ my boss. i was trying to figure out how i was going to get my competition training in and after like an hour or so my boss realized she could handle the event so she's like "hey if you want to go get your training in, the gym is down the hall to the right you can probably use it"
i go in that shyt and it's legit 30 cages, fresh power bars, all types of regular, calibrated plates, etc. i stepped out to grab some water and went down another hall and they had a wall of w/ pictures of athletes, from the floor to the ceiling, that went D1 since it the school opened in the 2000s and that shyt was deadass like a quarter mile long
they were cranking em out of that area. all these "middle of nowhere" ass places have is sports so they go all out.
Rest day today. Will just get in a long walk and my 10K steps.
10 more days until my holiday, just need to go strong and hit my first big target.
Still need to reassess some things and ensure I don’t go for long stretches where I stall on my cut. Will likely have to cut out liq for another extended period when I get back. Let me get further in my cut before reintroduction. I’m not yet at maintenance levels yet.

Another Sunday, Another 14 lunches and dinners weighed and prepped for the week, all veggie snacks cut up, all lettuce distributed for salads, all snacks accounted for. Won't be the diet that will knock me off track...
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail....
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail....
I have to start meal prepping for the weekend. I still weigh and track my food but need to get sharper for the weekends.
But it’s really the liq that has slowed my pace the past couple weeks. Lock in until the holiday then go from there.

I do Sunday mornings, of course whatever free block works for you. Takes 2.5 - 3hrs if I am taking my time, plus i got the footy on. If no footy I'll put on the tunes and just vibe out.
I don't drink so the liquor isn't an issue. I cut it out when I turned 26 many eons ago. I'll have a cup of red wine here or there, or a drink if i am travelling. Only "vice" I have is "cannabis" based. And I say it like that cause I haven't smoked in over a year. Only gummies.
Do you take pre workout before every session? I'm not too hip on the supplement game. I was looking into creatine and I've been taking magnesium. Has been pretty useful for recovery thus far
Yes but I have a bad caffeine habit. Pre is basically my coffee every morning if I don’t go to a gym.
I think pretty much everyone would suggest taking 5 grams of creatine per day. No need for the load phase you out see mentioned during research.
Magnesium is essential for pretty much everyone.
The rest is dealers choice. I would tell people the have to take pre. It’s personal preference IMO but can have benefits.

Wrapping up my upper day at 8pm and I’m reminded why I prefer the early AM workout.
Outside of getting it out the way and starting the workday on a good note, the AM gym crew has people that pay attention to their hygiene.
This dude a few benches away from is reeking! I’m talking body odor booming no Metro
Some people out here are just filthy

Maaaaaaan….went three rounds with ole girl last evening.
I can barely complete my lifts and it’s leg day.
I usually squat 355-365 but I’m even struggling with 340. Gonna have to do a light day today
I see why boxers and pro athletes abstain before a big fight/big game.
Still got into the gym early but I have no energy. She can only come over on the weekends from now on
Not leaving gains on the table
