    Talking

    packed as usual, agreed 3-4 weeks tops before the "herd" thins out. I had an umbiblcal hernia fixed late last yr and have been off for while. It was tough to check my ego at the door and go light until I get up to speed!

    Packed, and everytime I got up to refill my water bottle some skinny punk, or his heffer of a sister stole my bench/spot. I hate Monday's anyways due to crowding, but the first Monday of the year is like hell on earth!

    Busy - took dam-n near twice as long as usual- and 10x more frustrating because the noobs had no clue what to do (other than ask me about 500 questions). I give it a week or 2 to get back to normal....

    Mine was crowded too. There were prolly 10-15 noobs in there. We had one couple come in and look around for about 5 minutes and then leave. I guess they decided to start on their NY resolution tonight?!

    Oh well, like was stated earlier it should thin out in 3-4 weeks.

    Tru Dat Bro....I had one guy ask me twice "wanna help a new guy out with where to start?". So I ask him "what are your goals?". He looked at me like a deer in the headlights. So I say "best thing to do is 3-4 core exercises when starting, like BP, squat, military press, etc.". He says "I don't like free weights". By this time the guy is really working on my nerves b/c he is fvcking up my routine. So I point to the machines and say "Do those in a circuit 3-4 times each." and walk away.

    I know we all have to start somewhere but wtf? At least know what you want to get out of your workouts b4 coming to the gym!

    There were a few more kids doing weights, and more fat people on the cardio machines but that was it.......wasn't exactly a rapid influx. There were probably more people today actually.

    Its much worse in the weeks before spring break.

    Had to play twister....

    I work at a gym and it looked like a dam disturbed antpile. I felt like I was playing twister to get around all the people and the equipment. Can't wait till mid to late February.

    Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, THAT IS STRENGTH
