Back and biceps today. Even touched the bars with my bare hands and yes that is sanitizer on the wall lol. Don't mind the other rebels doing cardio behind me.

Leg day fer me today. I'm out of town on work and so had to buy a $15 week's pass at a commercial gym down the way from where I'm staying.

Good, basic workout. Some hamstring curls to get the blood flowing, squats, leg press, calves & out.

It weren't crowded, but there were more than a few in there training. Mostly cardio folks, but another bloke did use the cage after I finished.

I'm more cognizant of wiping shite down both before & after I use it is all.

An article I read this afternoon dealing with the virus and hitting the gym.
https://time.com/5795492/gym-fitnes...OPalV6Xt15OMUYrfaCL6nP4UyCPXjLQn4w5CnCVN6fELo

I saw this article earlier today.

I am a big fan of a clean gym. I am also a big fan of gym etiquette. Everyone should be cleaning equipment before and after use well before this Covid ever came about. Wash your hands after using the restroom. Use hand sanitzers often. I think the most important thing is to cover your mouth if you sneeze or cough even if you aren't sick and NEVER touch your face especially without washing your hands first.

If someone is sick and coughing, take a few days off. It is better for you and everyone else around you.

I can tell you that in my gym, the owner doesn't play around with this. You get a single warning to wipe down equipment(since day one). The second time you are gone. The same goes for re-racking weights. One warning. This gym is his hobby, not his livelihood.

I am waiting until May to cancel my other gym membership because of a contract and I am done with other places.

Had a pressing workout today in the commercial gym I'm using in the pinch. Sticking to basics when I'm away from me home turf - dumbbells on the flat bench, standing overhead press and a bit of iso work (chest flies, lateral raises) and out. I'd say 30 people I seen all total over the 90 mins I was there. Kicked up a bit of cardio too alongside the other die hards on the treadmills. When in Rome...

Today was my cardio day. Every sunday is strictly cardio. Usually I do some form of anaerobic movement/s. It was a nice brisk day so I did a 3 mile walk to the market. About a mile downhill.

Successfully made it out alive today after a hard battle leg workout. I even used this old gem. Felt pretty good.

It is definitely different. I only used 3 plates for sets of 15 but going deep feels weird. My last set I didn't go so deep and went to failure(didn't even count)...my quads were on fire!

This was after squats, leg press, leg extensions an leg curls...

i can hit four reps with a 100lbs each side. triggers my knee badly. i'll get there, maybe next year.
