*** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

Hi guys, this is my first post in any gym rats thread

I got back into to the gym after a few months break in September with my mate and been going 3 days or more a week. Main focus is muscle/strength gaining, so I have the usual routine that seems to be working as I'm lifting heavier every other week

My diet has been awful though, no structure to it and many cheat days lol. I plan to read up on a few threads on here and the net and get a decent diet set-up for myself. I might have a few questions so hope your ready

Luke!

First time back in the gym since the... 23rd of something. Was not fun, although not quite as terrible as I was anticipating.

First backload of the new year, feels so good!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Backload doesn't sound good. Did the condom burst?

That assumes someone would pull out...

 

[wozza2k]

Hit the gym tonight expecting it to be mental from the new year joiners, but it was pretty steady and alright actually. Couple of people just hogged the benches and 'rested' for extended periods but didn't really get in the way.

I am looking to maybe move gyms, currently with a local group called 'Better' which is so-so but was wondering if anyone know if LA Fitness or Fitness First are any good as the price is about the same

Fair play, but you still avoided my question. Do you smoke or drink?

Oh, i must have misread but no i neither smoke or regularly drink, i may have the occaisional tipple, but that would be few and far between.
