My gym is starting to get crowded and it's irritating. For the first 7 years I was a member, I could go in anytime before 7am or anytime after 8pm and there would be maybe one other person in there, if that. Now there's like 20 people in there all the time. Not sure if everyone is suddenly on a kick to lose the COVID weight, but like I said it's irritating.

Still better than going in around 4 or 5pm. That's when all the high school and college guys swarm the place. They're loud. They're always crowding around each other and talking, making it hard to get through. They're often on their phone while sitting at a machine or bench while other people are waiting. fuck those guys. Get out of my gym.

I have noticed a lot of dudes that only workout their upper body, too. They look silly having arms bigger than their thighs, but to each their own I guess. I spend 2x as much time working on my lower body than I do upper, because I'm smart.

TLR I just wanted to brag that I go to the gym.

Squats trump all of the upper body strength training exercises.

Not seeing too many fatties among the natives of London. It’s kinda like NYC in that the public transit is good but you still gotta use your feet to get from a Tube station to your eventual destination. Amazing what walking just a few miles a day can do to cut down on obesity.

Probably helps that the food sucks

I kid

Not really

Americans eat too much. If I exercise less I eat less

It's science

IFL fish and chips, bangers and mash and savory beef pies. Rule Britannia.

Being fat is still a math problem at the end of the day.

I call Gay Leg Day Bae dibs on Third Leg Bae @PurpleBaze

@YellowSnow on the peter puffer row machines, what's considered bad, good or elite? Pre covid gym steam room rendezvous I could hammer out quite a bit. Post covid it sad to see how far I've fallen body, not so much. That being said I've always wondered what were good numbers. Used to play ball with an elite peter puffer rower and another guy who did like those row machine comps and they were in amazing shape.

So here’s the percentiles on 5000 meters for men aged 40- 49.

90th 75th 50th 25th
Result 18:47.5 19:40.9 21:04.5 23:01.1
Pace 1:52.7 1:58.0 2:06.4 2:18.1

We have a rower and an elliptical. Wife will work out on occasion, me, not so much. I have a physically demanding job for 2/3 of year and am skinny by nature. I really should get my ass in gear and row for __min a day.... I think when you turn 40, most of your motivation for that kind of shit goes out the window, I'd rather drink beer and smoke cigars(why not both.gif)

Ellipticals are worthless than tits on a boar.

I drink beer, smoke cigars and erg regularly. The latter allows for the former.
