Gym Selfies **and Daily Motivation

Not gonna lie. They have tanning beds at the gym & I use them from time to time. It’s part of my membership perk. I understand this is a quite questionable thing to do as a heterosexual man LMFAO . At 40 years old I don’t really care anymore to admit it. The ladies love the brown full body tan.

i dont think its questionable, youre just using a tanning bed haha. f*** it

but thats cool you have access to some, just make sure your surroundings are clear every time lol

Every once in a while it is good to be around danger or take a lift or physical challenge you don't know if you can do. (If it is a heavy weight please set it up so if you miss it you don't die) it helps keep your mind sharp and feeling alive.

dudeee setting up your safety bars esp when youre squatting is so important

when i was still in CR, i was doing lightweight for a while because of my back injury. my back was feeling better for a bit so i was like hell yeah lets do heavier weight. well that was dumb af cause something popped in my lower back where the injury was/is. in the moment i was ok, i just stopped working out and went home. but i legit couldn't walk for days afterwards. the safety bars saved me from being crushed.

basically practice safe weights and always have your safety up or a spotter with ya

Benching is the most dangerous people have died with the bar crushing their throat. Was taught to never clip the weights on the bar it works two fold it helps if you have to dump or strip the weights off the bar quickly plus if you take a heavy weight out and the weights are rattling like crazy it either means your CNS isn't ready or you need work on your stabilizers.

Used to lift them all the time until I got over 40 and fat now just do bodyweight, isometrics, some kettlebells, and grip work. Don't feel bad about getting hurt remember that the horses that always run back in the pack hardly ever hurt themselves.

The motivation to do cardio at the gym is challenging. I usually just go for the strength training. So what I decided to try is walk/jog to the gym which is like 5 mile walk round trip. Thinking if I did this 2-3 times a week I could drop a few lbs. I wanted to get under 190 before the end of the year.

Yeah I love to do it 1st thing when I arrive. It gets my heart rate up & I start to sweat & it keeps my heart rate up throughout my workout. More sweat equals more calories burnt.
