At least in my country no one wants the stupid covid thing ruined it for people. Now they're scared of germs or something and overuse delivery. Why lift when Russia will nuke the world?Ww3?
Covid excuse. I found out the leftists also think the vaccines don't work, but their takeaway is that because the vaccines don't work, they'll triple down on the COVID hysteria
The gym had some weird delayed effect this year. >1st week nothing >2nd week nothing >3rd week: first time ever seeing a line at check in, machines all taken, treadmills at capacity, parking lot full
The place actually stunk today, for the first time in my god forsaken life I smelt the gym with that many people and it smelt vile.

This is why I have better gains at home. Cancelled my membership so I don't breathe the human grime
my new years resolution has been to build self confidence. these past 3 weeks ive been cleaning my filthy apartment and taking stock of what i want to improve to remove things im self conscious about. im going to start lifting at my parents home gym next week because im sick of being skinny. planning on doing starting strength because i want something simple. i already eat clean. any tips or advice?
Should I tailor these towards my own preference (I'm really self conscious about my skinny forearms and wrists) or are there some that you'd recommend?
Eat more than you think you need to. Eat until you think you're going to throw up.

thanks, ive been trying to eat more over the past year. last years resolution was to stop alcohol and eat healthy and so far im still sober, i want to keep the new years res streak going.

Pullups, biceps curls, lateral raises, ab exercises, hamstring exercises.
Add some forearm exercises too.
For me it’s only annoying from 7-8pm (I go anywhere from 6-9pm). So I try to aim for 730 most nights. But it wasn’t too bad this year. >my late 2022 gym crushes gone >early 2023 gym crushes slowly appearing
I see more people on weekends than usual but the time I go 0930-1330 thereabouts, the place is dead as usual during the week. Just some boomers, a few regulars. I was concerned as I switched from home gym for 3-4 years to a commercial gym this year after getting to around 2.5/4/5.5/6.5 for a couple reps on the big four and realizing powerlifting was gay and hardcapped grinding for a 5 pound PR once a month.
I'm still here.
5% of the year have already passed btw
Kek it's funny how the hive mind works, my gym is close to normal already
I barely had any this year. Did they blackpill the normies or something

to easily kill the other survivors and steal their supplies
That's what I'm thinking

As long as they keep telling themselves they’ll go back eventually and paying the monthly fees to keep ours down idgaf
But the frogposting homosexuals remain....
who are you mad at, fren?
No one is responsible for you tiny wee wee

For the love of all that is holy, add accesory lifts.
