Lmao man hilarious and true haha! Don't limit yourself to a gym man! Do pushups, pullups, situps, front squats, overhead presses with whatever and wherever you can do them.
Here's videos of a guy I follow on youtube from england:
YouTube - Death by Front Squat
YouTube - Loaded Sprints and Slab Weightlifting Fail
He does tons of lifts outside just hiking around finding stuff to lift, and he's pretty damn strong for 5'5 155. He pulled 445, overhead pressed 170x2, and squatted 300x5
sweet, I cant wait to get back in a gym though...
my first day of work tomorrow too.
I have a gym in mind I want to check out tomorrow and Ill let you guys know how it goes.
went to check out a gym today, pretty expensive and not even a bench or squat rack! wtf! needless to say Ill have to keep looking...
Iv lost some more weight too which is wierd because iv not lifted in 10 days and Iv been on holiday for 6 or 7 or those, and I got drunk the other day too lol. Maybe its muscle My initial thought was that I was dehydrated after the drinking but I drank quite alot yesterday and this morning I re-weighed myself and Im 192.5...
Dont really understand why and gotta say I dont really look any differant from when I was 196...
My jeans dont fit anymore they keep falling down lol and my school trousers which I was having trouble squeezing into when I was doing my exams in June (I used to have to unbutton them half way through exams cause they cut the blood supply off from my legs they were so tight) fit me again!

rofl about the jeans bro... get a belt and you'll be fine- that way you won't have to keep getting new jeans when you can't make up your mind and your weight fluctuates like hell every month
yeah man it sucks I liked those jeans and they were my only pair! I can still wear them they just fall down easily lol.
First day at work today, fuckin sucked it was so boring but very easy work. Pay is decent. 7 hour shift today, then 8 hour shift on Saturday starting at 7am. Then Im delivering newspapers from 8am till 9am on Sunday morning followed my an 8 hour shift at the hotel from 10am until 6pm!
Got there today and for my eating break which I wasnt expecting I had to eat in the cantein and all they had was chicken burgers (in white bread) and fries! It annoyed the hell out of me because other than that meal my diet has been near perfect today, it was a low carb day and I ate 5 meals too which is good. Not counting the bad meal I got around 50g of carbs total, 30g of fat and 210g of protein. Then that at the hotel was probably 100g of mostly fast carbs wtf
Heard about a new gym that both my mum and dad have been to in the past and has been closed for years now is re-opened! My mum said it never was a fitness centre type it was a proper gym so hopefully its still like that. Its situated ontop of a car park too so not a fancy place, sounds good so far hopefully get to check it out tomorrow! I wanna lift so bad!
Went to visit a new gym today and was expecting it to be good. Used to be very popular years ago but got closed down. Was recently bought and re-opened by a gymnastics club and they decided to put a gym in there again. Its in a rough area of the city ontop of a car park, down a long corridoor and its just basically a small room. No bigger then a class room.
Got in there and though yeah this is cool but the more I looked around and stuff the worse it seemed. The cost for 1 session is three times as expensive as my last gym, and the cost for a monthly member ship is also 3 times as expensive as my last gym. There is a lack of equipment too;
shitty looking squat rack, safeties looked to be non-adjustable
only basic machines: check press, pec dec, shoulder press, leg ext, leg adducter - no leg press
maybe 3 treadmills
not much floor space
only 2 oly bars
1 benchpress rack
few fixed weight BBs
basic cable station
preacher curl bench
DB's up to I think 100s
thats pretty much it and the guy at the desk said on monday it gets so busy if your training chest you cant really get on anything and the whole room is packed lol
opening times are worse than my old gym
I guess it would do in an emergency but Im thinking the long bus journey and walking to the new location that my gym moved to would be worth it to just be training with everything I had before...

It seems almost as bad as I had it out here lol....
I like this idea. It's worth it.
Yeah I think so. Tomorrow if I have time after work Ill try and get the bus there and see what the journey is like if its possible etc.
