@Motife43 @CashmereEsquire what is that LA Fitness life like?
I like it good size and comes in handy when i travel, pretty much have everything you need. Next best option would be anytime fitness because its 24hrs but its smaller than la fitness, but they do have more locations nationwide

I did a leg workout yesterday. Got up to 175 lbs for 10 reps on the squat. Much better than last week. I didn't want to push it farther than that. The other thing I do now that I didn't do before is put a barbell pad on the neck area.

I do foam roller on my legs after a leg workout. I don't want to end up in the same position I was in before physical therapy. That was an expensive bill, my insurance didn't cover a lot for each PT visit. :sadbron: But, dude knew what he was doing and my right knee is back to 100% and my left knee is about 80%. Again, I don't even need to wear leg straps or tape up my knees anymore for squats. He's was like my Miyagi after getting my leg swept.

They have what you need from an equipment/amenity standpoint. But quality varies by location.

Best/My Favorite locations: Brookhaven, Decatur - BRAND NEW (Church St), Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Covington Hwy/Panola (closest to me)

shytty facilities/equipment: Atlantic Station, Camp Creek, Ansley Mall (small as hell)

Most of the clubs are undergoing renovations in the next 2-3 weeks so the ones I listed as shytty might see improvement. Don't know where you were at before, but for the $30/mo you get what you're paying for. It's no Concourse Athletic Club or anything lol

Got some time at work and pull a couple sets of jump squats:wtf:

Even though I stretched a bit and did some air squats first, my goddamn knees just took a pounding after 3 sets of 10. I was going for 10 sets but fukk that shyt.

Good looking out.

It looks like I can transfer there from my old spot for the same price. At the same time my PT might be able to get me 6 months free at a different spot.

Decisions.......

2nd week back in the gym and been going 3x/week instead of my usual 4x/week because of some bad DOMS. Had to squeeze in 2 workouts yesterday. Was in there for over 3 hrs last night :mjcry:. Really need to get back on 4x/week...and creatine.
