For me the Holiday bonus events ruin the holidays.

I live super rurally, the gyms aren't open on holidays. TBH they are barely open at all, it's one of the main reasons I quit lifting. Gyms here legit open at like 8AM and close at 8PM. Makes it hard to lift before work or hard to lift after work. Open at like 9AM saturday, close at 6PM. Closed Sunday. No exaggeration.

Do you not have any fitness equipment at all? Plates and a barbell are awesome, but you don't need those. Having no equipment to train with at home is like having to go to the store every time you wanted to make food in your house.

Example: a 50# bag of children's play sand is like $5. Buy two that's 100#. Wrap it in thick duct tape and now you have a massive object. Not enough weight? Someone I know sandwiched a 45# plate between two bags of sand and kept adding duct tape and plates and fucking ropes.

My point is that anyone complaining about a lack of equipment with a little ingenuity and resourcefulness on a budget of like no money can make something even the world's strongest man can't pick up.

Where did I complain about a lack of equipment? I'm a huge fan of Ross Enamait and have built all kinds of exercise equipment that he designed after I bought his book "Never Gymless" 15 years ago. I have a dip and pullup bar next to my computer and use a standing desk to play games because I am pretty focused on fitness. But no, this is not the same as weight lifting. Doing pushups in my bedroom is not going to give me the same strength results as heavy lifting - nor is heavy lifting a proper substitute for endurance. When I quit going to the gym I was dead lifting 600+ pounds and bench pressing 400 (1RM). I don't have the space or the type of housing that can store this expensive type of equipment, nor do I have a lifting partner to spot me. At a proper gym that is much less of an issue.

I also strongly advocate jogging (or walking) for general fitness. I don't care how out of shape you are, you can always walk to burn calories/fat.

Where did I make my point about you specifically? Nonetheless it stands. Enjoy your lifting. Or alternatively don't. 👍

I’m sorry if anyone thought I was responding to them in this thread ! Sometimes I accidentally click the quote button [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well, if you run your thread the way you run your body no wonder it's turning to shit. Sorry you don't got training partners or desire to lift heavy under anything less than optimal conditions. Maybe the problem is you.

Hope this helps
