So, I went to the gym today with my heavy weights sheet in hand, and I walk to the back of the gym where all the free-weights are.Have you ever seen Grand Central Station during rush hour? Bally's at the same time of day.. more people, and it stinks just a bit worse.
I couldn't get a spot on a machine. I hated it. I waited my turn for 10 minutes, and these two dope muscleheads wouldn't get off the machine. Do your weights, kiss your biceps, get the hell out of the way. I'll never understand they these guys think that they're the ONLY ones in the gym.
So, I got frustrated, and just ended up doing 40 minutes of cardio and called it a day. Usually I would have went more, but I went from the gym straight to volleyball, so it was a good almost two hours of straight movement, so all in all, a good night.
Oh, and one other thing. For those of you who read this blog, do me a big favor. Spread the word. I'd love to get a bigger and bigger following on this, and also promote "FatManDo", my blog over on Shifthf.com. This is a big adventure for me and the guys (and girls), and we'd love to have a ton of response. Josh the Destroyer is even there offering free advice, so you can't beat it. I'm shamelessly plugging the sites here:
My "FatManDo" Blog
Shift Health and Fitness Forums (I'm FatManDo)
So, do me a favor and spread the word. Coworkers, friends, family.. anybody that could use a little motivation. The more, the merrier.
More tomorrow!

We need to get together again, so i can give you a just in case workout. all you need is you, and hopefully no one will be using you in the gym, i'll tell your wife. being an in home trainer and traveling as made me pretty creative.
I do have those certs you gave to me, so maybe I'll make use of those sometime soon. Thanks, man.
With doing Quads for a workout (4 exercises at a time) I can't go to the gym during busy times. That is why I go at 3:30am, I am the only one there :)
I've gotten so spoiled having the gym to myself. I remember the days when I had to wait endlessly for inconsiderate people to stop hogging the machines! It's annoying - I'm sorry you had to deal with that last night. Good job to go straight to cardio, though. It's easy to just not work out because you can't. But you found an alternate way to get your workout in. ;) Keep up the GREAT work.
Great job and numbers on the blood work Rob! (I'm just catching up on your yesterday post).
I can relate to the crowded gyms - I cannot believe the number of people at my gym at 5:45 AM on a weekday morning!
yeah, same thing happens to me all the time- just ask politely if you can work in.
Well let's see...you've achieved about a fifth of your goal ALREADY!
Good Job! All days can't be goal busters...but together...they add up!
