After spending the last year and a half building a home gym I don’t have the space for everything I need so I joined a gym near me. It’s got ripped up benches, old machines purchased from what was probably a defunct snapfitness and too many people trying to get onto the on bench and squat rack. Feelsgoodman

/e and I joined last Sunday and there was a smoke detector chirping. It’s still chirping today lel

When I used to go to the gym I liked going to the steam room and sauna after working out. There was always Russians talking about growing things.

It was nice when someone would bring in eucalyptus otherwise would reek of sweat at times.

3 - chest/back
4 - shoulders/abs
5 - legs
