+ 2 Never Coming Back
ad
So when will the gyms come back. At this point I feel as if the gyms will never come back or anything else to precovid times. Im going to have to purchase some home gym stuff which seems to be extremely expensive for dumbbells etc.
i even saw thst Nathan De Asha wont compete in the 2020 Olympia due to basically not being able to work out, man these guys must be losing it literally, their minds and sizes.
i feel for us all. How are you able to keep your sanity and size but most importantly motivation during this pandemic?

AnonI sent a small fortune to Rogue on week 1 of close last year...and still investing. Home gym 'is the way.' Never going back.
Hell Yeah!!
They closed the gyms in my state but reopened them one week later. They found there wasn’t one single case of catching covid at the gym. Rules there are strict though. Wear a mask. Wipe everything down temperature checked at door. Fill out a questionnaire. They are not playing with the rules. With the research though it’s a safe place to workout.
It sucks that I sold all my dumbells, olympic set and machines. Had a pretty good home gym setup but liked the atmosphere of going to the gym more so I sold it all. Never thought I would need it or use it again. To much covid around me to risk going to the gym, even when it is open. Only 10 people allowed in at a time right now so you have to lift at really strange hours if you don't want to wait in line to get in. Planning on making a comeback once it is safe to go to the gym again.
We hopefully you received the amount of $ for your stuff that was sold. Gym is definitely missed

Good music and home workouts using the equipment I have at home and calisthenics. Get creative and go hard.
I'm not sure where you live but it's life as usual around here .
Gyms are all open , I go everyday.
As for the Olympia guys there are plenty of privately owned gyms or home gyms they have to choose from. Just leave what ever place your living in and move to a less liberal pacified state .
Pretty sure Covid opinions are on the same list as politics, religion, insulin, narcotics, etc here on Eroids so be careful.
trash300The economic damage is not longer tolerable, a few good frienes of mine are gym owners, all have already a big fat negative bank balance. Safety first, yes, but the government destroy a lot of exists.
There has been up's and down's so far, but i managed to transform this into some kind of mental training. Set the gym up at my place, but also keeping an eye out to see if anyone is keeping their places active behind the close doors. Trying to use every availability to get a collective workout session with someone.
It does getting hard now and then, but the strong body has to reflect a strong mind of the owner I think. but I still think we will be back to something that was before the pandemic, but there will be some changes there for sure.
So, I would be still keeping my head up high and working on whatever is possible to progress as much as possible
All Good stuff mate - You are a very positive thinker :-) Hope you are keeping well pal
Cheers bro, I'm as much as possible, I hope you are well too
You know, I call it a "realistic positivity". I'm not daydreaming about anything, it is what it is. But my life goes on and there is nothing else left to do then to adjust
Unfortunately, the second pandemic wave has meant that more and more kids have opted for home gym because of the closed gyms.
Train with what you have without forcing your will, otherwise it will be worse. I have reset my diary and am working on the technique and TUT.
It works even with an average load.
I miss throwing those weights in the hall while you're finishing the last repetition.
This shit is going on forever Olympic if I rember good where based in the same country everything still closed until the 15th of januari and I saw the numbers went up again so they will extend it to the beginning of februari its just crazy the other country's beside us the dinner places are open gyms are open and we sitting here like ducks waiting to get shot I know it's a virus but the laws are not realistic we can't do nothing beside working an respecting the evening clock the neighbour's are free so they keep visiting or country because of the cheap cigarettes and booze so the numbers will never go Down like that close the borders if you want to get rid of it or give us or freedom back
So is everything closed again with you guys over in the US? I cannot keep up with where is now open and where's shut.
It varies state by state. Governors hold the real power to inact restrictions. Given our system of government is federal and the founding fathers/states were concerned about states rights. Some governors let the health/science lead them. For some sadly their decisions are purely political. Other governors are trying to balance/be all things to everyone like my governor. Gyms are open in my state, but my state is pretty bad off right now, trending one of the worst in the US. They should probably be closed, but mine’s not that crowded, seems like people are not going on their own accord and I try to follow best practices while there
Here in mid America, many place are supposed to be closed or really reduced. This is not case in most of the smaller gyms in my area. Not that America is the best or smartest, but the virus is everywhere where I'm at and people are just powering through. I've had tons of friends and coworkers that have got it, sick 3 to 5 days then back to normal. It's too far gone to stop the spread in my area.
ClassyChassisIt's tough bro. The motivation has to come from within. You have to refuse to submit. Don't go along with being broken down.
When my gym closed, I learned you can do a lot with bands and a kettlebell. Even a 25lb can make you work. The bands I use are UNDERSUN. Lot of videos on YT. You just have to keep moving and try different things to at least stay in shape. Get outside if you can. Don't think about Why you Can't do something, think about How you Can
FYI, Pussy negging a mod is not too bright.
ROFLMFAO
STILL, ROFLMFAO
This may take a while.
ClassyChassisI have no idea what you are talking about, but If I negged you bro, it was an accident. I've never seen you post anything that I would neg anyway, even if I was that stupid.
In fact, when I look at my page, it says
So I was probably trying to upvote you
