    yeah it really sucks but what choice do I have ? I can go to a gym right up the street but it's got 1 squat rack (AND ITS A SMITH MACHINE!) the one I'm going to used to be a golds but it changed names but still has the same equipment

    well it hasn't got a squat rack then!
    It takes me 30 mins but as long as I take some protein shake for straight after i dont think its a problem.
    If Ive run out I will just literately take my whole pw meal with me and eat in my car after training!

    sounds like a great gym your squat rack amount beats mine by 2 lol. The city that it's in though is known for super-hot moms it sucks being on this test sometimes cause I keep getting boners when they try to talk to me and I gotta sit down

    yup I just eat my meal and i'm straight on my sportbike and headed to the gym. I keep a tub of protein in the locker and usually bring some food with me and eat it before I travel back. It's worth the slight inconvienience though as you can imagine

    About 20 minute drive to my gyms. There's 3 different golds that I go to. I'm a member at powerhouse which is about 35 minutes away but I rarely go there.

    So you aren't that guy circling the gym parking lot looking for the closest space?

    My gym is only a few minutes away. I can get there in one song on the radio. It used to be a Golds and now is a "fitness" place. They kept most of the equipment, but took out the rack of barbells for some unknown reason.

    I used to go to a hole-in-the-wall gym for lifters and bodybuilders when I was young. It was owned by George Eiferman (Mr. America, Mr. Universe) and it was for the serious only. I miss that place.

    about 60 feet to my converted guest house. 2 squat racks, 1 olympic lifting platform, dumbells up to 200lbs, over 2800lbs of plates, bumpers, axel, log, stones, everything a brotha needs to keep my swole on. Plus a sauna and jacuzzi always waiting and no worries about other people f*cking in either...LOL!!!! Except for me of course (I have suspicions about my teenage sons and their gfs though!, LOL)
