    2020 Most Improved competition

    Gyms are opening up and we are probably out of shape. Let others see your progression and muscle memory. It’s great motivation to get back into shape.
    Who is in to enter a competition??
    Mr/Mrs Covid. LOL

    I know CA is shut down again. We’ll see what we get for participants and then determine when we start.
    I know some gyms you need to make appointments for and only have a 1 hour window to work out.

    I am lucky. I found a gym that stayed open. I guess the police are not enforcing the governors order.

    We are still at stage 2...

    "That means gyms, movie theaters, indoor dining at bars and restaurants, and more remain closed."

    I have a power rack and adjustable bench in my basement.

    Only had 280lbs of weights and a horrible bar for a long while.

    I have since sourced some 45s and a refurbished Ohio bar.
    So I now have 460lbs of plates that I can put on the bar.

    I also sourced some KBs that I have used to hang on the bar as weights.
    I also have some shitty bands, a dip station, and a crappy glute ham raise.

    Trust me... I am happy for what I have.

    I just can't believe that with all the money I've spent on shit in my life...
    I never spent 4-5K on some nice equipment.

    However, I am finding it very hard to stay motivated.
    Something about going to the gym and seeing spandex ass...

    Awesome. If you find yourself needing more plates, I have a shitload left from my bulk order that I’m getting rid of at cost. The only rub is that they’re urethane coated and probably won’t sync well with whatever you’ve got, assuming that bar space is an issue.

    All right I’m most likely in. My gym opens up end of August if things go , in a solid 1.5 years no training. Lost about 6-8lbs already but have 10-12 more to go. Have appointment on Monday, going to see if my doctor will give me cortisones shots in both my shoulders, I think he will.

    I think this comp will do us some good. Even if gyms aren’t open, we are so spoiled, be fun to see what we can do with out a gym to go to.

    With the way this year has been going and the way the members here have been getting beat up with their health, it’s no wonder we all misinterpreted it!

    Yo! That was NO CANCER! Not "no, cancer"
    I didn't have cancer, and I won't be getting breast cancer.
    Oh heck yeah!!! That’s great to hear!! Good for you!!! I had a hysterectomy in May to avoid cancer as well!
