Spend months doing cable isolation work well below your body weight and be mad you can do two supinated pull-ups.

50# KB Rows and Endless Face Pulls……what did you expect

:scust: That’s the type of bs i expect @Mr Olympia to be doing.


What kind of man does hip thrust at the gym.
I don’t get it when you are very much a casual lifter and not athletic in the least:

Saturday as I was going through my deadlift session dude loads up 3 plates on the Smith Machine and grunts through multiple sets. I finish on the platform and he asks me if I’m done. Average build dude who I’m never seen squat.

Yeah I get tired of seeing shyt like this. usually the earlier I go, I can avoid this shyt.

Or the gym is open enough that I don’t have any type of interactions with these people.

One thing I might consider is looking for a true power lifting gym (no CrossFit).

Or maybe even a more expensive one. As of right now. My gym is like 3-5 minutes away, so it fits my schedule.

It’s actually a really good gym. I’m usually in early AM except for weekends. Usually it’s fukkery that doesn’t directly impact me so it’s stories and asides I mention here.

A fleeting childhood
I canceling my LA Fitness membership and going back to 25 hour fitness and I found you you have to mail in cancellation form, I'm like this is crazy you can't just call.
I went into my local la fitness and canceled with the operations manager this morning. I’m moving somewhere that doesn’t have a LA fitness so looks like I’m on the hunt for a new gym.

How did LA Fitness notify you your membership was canceled?
There was some link that you can check that was on the printout that arrived via email.

Just looked at my email from 2021


Subject: "Cancel Confirmation - Email Reference"

from

Lafitnessmembershipservices @ lafitness . com

Receipt For Membership Cancellation

Gained a lot of weight back. It’s been hard with some of the things going on in my home and work life.

I’m going to start weight training tomorrow morning. Brought a jump rope for cardio and going to change the diet up big time. No more refined grains, beer, sweets or juice. Just water, tea, lean proteins and the occasional piece of multigrain bread and some oatmeal. Lots of leafy greens and veggies and for sugar cravings- I bought navel oranges.

I’m currently in the 230s and I’m only 5’8” last time I checked. I honestly don’t look that bad as I’ve been much heavier at about 320 lbs but I feel horrible. I’ve lost my edge and my sense of confidence/charisma.

Im tired and angsty all the damn time. Currently ~20% body fat. Im an endomorph and I’m pretty stocky so if I can get below 190 I’ll be okay imo. Muscular but I’ve become too fatty. I want to much leaner.

I want to get back in shape asap and restart dating again. I’ll post results when I hit my goal win the late spring time. Wish me luck brehs :salute:
