Covid closed my gym.
The grocery stores are sketchy right now as to what will and won’t be in stock.
What are you going to do?
I’ve had the following discussion with a coworker :
Which people are going to lose progress away from the gym?
Who’s going to shrivel up?
(I bet a lot of fitness youtube will, being that I view most as PED using weaklings who’ve never done something physically challenging in or out of the gym…and now without the requisite gym access to pump and preen.)
I noticed some were already dodging the gym before it closed.
On the flipside :
Who’s going to cut hard?
Who’s going to come out of this yoked up, more jacked than they’d been before?
“You’re lifting with a barbell in the yard aren’t you.”
“Yeah, probably the first time I’ve touched a barbell in the last 9 months aside from putting that barbell that was in a crate into the load last week”
“You’re the only person managing to lift weights more when the gym is closed.”
Without a gym I’m lifting weights everyday! I’m doing more barbell work in the rain than I’d get at my usual of planet fitness.
(pf is a good choice for empty parking lot video.)
Naturally I’m intermittent fasting, as I type (3/20/20 ~430pm) nearing a 24hr fast, looking forward to breaking it with takeout mexican food with my family.
(Takeout mexican with family, McDonald’s twice, a takeout pizza, yup that’s how scared of germs I am.)
I expect people to look at me at the gym in two weeks and go “damn J, without a gym you came back leaner AND more yoked!”
I thrive off of adversity!
Improv training is MY way!
The covid/corona virus doesn’t scare me. It’s more worrisome how people are responding to news of what is basically the flu.
Two, three weeks of this, I wonder how much belt sizes nationally will be lost.
I expect to be leaner, with more yoke, and more quads.
