Want a congratulatory medal???
You ran a program for only one month?
You know you can run a PPL "set up" while still doing 5/3/1, right?
Not running a program, after all the life shyt hitting the fan late October I said ima just get it in when I can for a pump rest of year and start fresh n focused ‘23. So yeah I’m no where judging ppl based on it’s full potential.
Me saying I prefer FB > PPL is based on just looking forward to the gym more knowing I’m doing ima be hitting two “opposite” ( A press w/ a dead/squat) compounds same session
10x5 press right around the corner

I find your lack of PPL conviction disturbing.
A vertical + horizontal press on Push Days; a Squat + Deadlift Variation on Legs; and a Deadlift + Row or Squat Variation on Pull Days.
Repeat that twice a week and become a Sage.
Or follow Jim's cookie cutter, low-volume templates for slow, consistent progress.

right now she's just doing cardio with some yoga

Just curious, how far do you guys generally live from your gym?
I'm seriously considering joining a new gym with two 24/7 locations, but it's 20-35 minutes away depending on location
It's about $10 cheaper per month than the gym that I was going to pre covid that's like 5 blocks from my house and a 5 min drive
That gym that's closer is also generally not crowded since it's mostly old people who go there, but they close at 9pm
The farther gym looks "cooler" , has younger crowd, and more equipment. It's a power lifter gym actually so I can probably grunt and slam weights in there etc
My worry is that the distance will de-incentive me from going on days i don't feel like going.....
I'm thinking about buying a 10 visit punch card and gauging how i feel about driving 30 miles after leg day and shyt like that
I never went to a gym that was far away

$10 difference should not dictate which gym you go to.... atmosphere and what you are looking for in a work out should...... anecdotally speaking. I switched from a 24/7 franchise type gym that was a 10min walk from my house to a powerlifting one that takes about 40mins by car.........Just curious, how far do you guys generally live from your gym?

I never went to a gym that was far away
1) Powerlifting is one word. A 'powerlifter gym', not power lifter gym.
2) I've only ever traveled that far when I'm on a business trip or on vacation.
3) I currently have access/memberships to:
- 1 gym in the building I live in
- 2 gyms less than 2.5 miles away [<5 min drive]
- 1 gym that's 5 miles away [10-12 min drive]
- 2 gyms at work 12 miles away [≈ 15 minute drive]
(all gyms are 24/7 access)
I refuse to have less than one full gym (i.e. multiple squat racks) more than 15 mins away from the crib.
4) One gym is 5 mins away but closes at nine, and the other is 10 bucks less, open 24/7, but is 30 minutes away?
Unless you drive a bicycle or a hybrid, wouldn't you burn up the $10 a month in gas (and then some) anyways?
5) Driving 30 minutes one way to a gym is OD to me, and not something I would do on the regular. If my math is correct, that's on average 13 days a year spent in traffic just going back and forth to the gym.
6) Grunting and slamming weights is some gym hoe shyt. Don't do that.

1. 20mins South of my house but I gotta travel north for work
2. 20mins west of my house but I gotta travel north west for work
3. 20mins north of my house and is on the same route as the one I take to go work
and there’s a location 5 mins from my job that I go to five days a week since it’s on the way to my job without having to worry about traffic .
30mins out the way is something I couldn’t do personally. Which is why I don’t go to option 1 or option 2 on days when I have to work
