Indeed, hopefully I will be on my own...It's one of my fears about gyms
Luckily it's a school gym so hopefully the kids are all lazy![]()
Even more so?Watch out cypriots! Speaking of holidays mine is on friday
Although the first 2 days is sat in a car so doesnt really count...
Just go in there, focus on what you're doing and get that feeling of destruction back into your body![]()
Even if you haven't improved on your leanness since the last photos you put up you're looking immenseYou'll do fine! Get into the zone and DO IT!!!!
Haha - well I got a few comments at the London meet saying that I was rather well built (and jokes that it was all talk and no action). Which was nice, because I honestly don't feel "big". I'm down to just below 210lbs - probably closer to 207lbs really first thing in the morning. Just hoping I look lean and mean for the summer - off to Cyprus in just over 5 weeks
Hahaha!Imagine deadlifting 200+ kg for reps in that tower!
Hah...Yeah, I cannot wait for that feeling!![]()
I just get all weird...As i'm not the biggest of people, so feel like they would be watching me![]()

We all had to start somewhere, just ignore it and get on with your work out and don't worry about it. Sure people will probably look, and try and show off and so on.
I tend to just get on with it, am friendly if spoken to, and just generally don't worry.
I bet you're bigger than me! Squatting 40kg and same for deadlift although I am going to be going even lighter for my next deads session!
But hey, I've only been going a few weeks, I'm sticking to correct form (although not with deads it appears) and I'm happy! Who cares what other people think?
To be honest I bet you'll get a lot more 'respect' from those huge guys in the gym than you would if you you're lifting massive weights but with crap form. In my experience most big guys leave their egos at home (obviously not all though).
Deadlifts...think I got to 55kg and then my bar ran out of space for more weight...Vinyl ones so naturally they are wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide, stupid things...Again, should be able to do 60/70kg reasonably easy I believe.
Here's hoping anyway!!! But thanks man, good to have some encouragement![]()
decided to run to the gym today from work - as we've just had some major roadworks started - and traffic chaos
Anyone fancy a gym rats meet at the BNBF Centrals show? I'm going anyway to cheer on a competitor and meet my hero, Freefaller.
But would be good if could get a few more, maybe go for a big manly alpha meal in between the morning and evening show?
Don't stress too much about lifting big weights for now, that's a sure fire way to get yourself an injury! Some of the guys in my gym are huge, it's the sort of gym where you go to lift not do masses of cardio really, so you can imagine how much bigger 99% of people are compared to me but I train equally as hard as them so it's just a matter of time! Some of the guys I've spoken to in previous gyms have said that they all started out similar to me and now some of them are massive! Not that I want to get huge.
