Luckily for me, the couples who regularly train at my time are pretty serious. I let guys work in if there somewhat comparitve to me in strength and doing the same thing. Hate the guys who do 30 sets of flat bench and don't have any consideration for anyone else, they are usually 160 lb kids....

Oh goodness ... tonight I sinned egregiously against my diet LOL

Tomorrow I shall atone with much cardio and eating right.

Gotta have a cheat day now and then to stay sane, Charlie. :-)

Even though I train at 24 hour fitness, this one has some serious body builders and people who compete. 90% of the time, people re rack everything and are very polite. Working in with people or letting people working in is never a problem.
There are a few couples that train together and they are all serious.

Debating if I should go in today or not. May just take 3 days off.

There are a lot of folks who show up and lift hard and have good etiquette but there are a lot of people who don't re-rack weights or clean off equipment or any of the other stuff we've talked about. But I guess that's just more common at a bigger gym like LA Fitness. Coming from a small village Rec Center where the only people who lifted were rly serious to a place where people will just sit on equipment and text is apparently something that I've gotten over being frustrated with. lol

Listen to your heart, Huy :-)

No bad eating today tho Tom :-)

I need to listen to your heart, Huy. :-)

Charlie gave me the advice I needed to hear. Listen to him, Tom.

Charlie Knows. Fact.

Off day today. I need it after 8 straight days in the gym, and hockey last night and tonight. We'll see about tomorrow, hoping I have enough gas and don't feel the need for one more day off.
[Reply]

Dang Tom, you're an iron man. You definitely deserve a break ... I'm sure your body would be grateful.

Not much going on for me today. Decided to take this leg day off since I've got that HIIT routine tomorrow. I took Ollie for a short walk this evening but otherwise nothing. Maybe I'll get in some cardio before tomorrow.

Heavy leg day and I forgot I had a a game tonight. Didn't even my post training meal because once I was finished, my game was in an hour and hour. Legs are gonna be shot tomorrow!

Time for some in n out.
[Reply]
