J want to stack up on mags for the glock.

It was 17* here this morning. For middle GA, that's pretty chilly (actual, air temp)

Watched a personal trainer have his client do flat bench.
He loaded the bar with 215 for the first set. The client couldn't unrack it without help.
The trainer spotted (pulled the bar really) so the dude could grind out three slow reps with miscer form (maximum back arching).
Before the next set, the trainer says that the flat bench bar path needs to be perfectly vertical.
The trainer then added two 25 plates for the next set.
Hard to believe people pay money for this kind of training. He's gunna wreck some backs and shoulders before he's done.

Speaking of gyms, I haven't seen the usual resolution rush at mine. I've only seen a few new faces, in the past it's been hundreds of newbies who show up for three weeks and disappear. They have sh!t gym etiquette and don't know how to use any of the equipment, always glad to see them leave.
Maybe the weather, who knows. Or maybe it's too early.

Most of the trainers at my gym are man-bunned, tatted twinks who don't do much other than put people on a treadmill and then take them through a serires of "core strengthening" exercises or their version of "crossfit" (which means taking as much crap off racks as you can and taking up as much space as possible for extended periods).

I've been thinking about switching gyms to more of a club style. But I also kinda don't want to switch right now so that I'm not the new years tard at the new gym lol.
There's a Villa Sport really close to me, but it's also $140/mo for me and the wife. Guess we need to decide if all that extra stuff is worth it - indoor and outdoor pools, spas, classes, basketball court, etc.

Have been considering signing up for maybe some boxing classes, just to pick up something Active for a few weeks. Just feel like all those classes are also Mass produced and I'm not gonna do anything but "Cardio Boxing" lol

There's a local "Fight Club" gym right next to my job, but its a bit pricey and reviews are mixed. Gotta find one of those hole in the wall schools with some dude who actually fights teaching us.

You spend a ton of time learning to roll/fall at first--which you need, but the learning curve is a lot slower than jujitsu unless you're a natural with regard to body control/balance/etc.

stippling...god only knows. People charge anywhere from fukin $150 - $400+
barrels - most barrels these days go for $180-$200+ (X2)
Trigger - probably $100-$150
Dawson sights - $75
Pretty easy to see how quickly it adds up. $2,500 is definitely a giant mark up, but it is what it is. $2,000 is probably a much more fair/reasonable price, but... Of course it's only worth it if you're into that kind of thing. As it goes...an item is worth what someone is willing to pay. As hideous as it is, they'll probably sell loads of them.

But I also make a cup of Folgers every morning which I enjoy with some honey + Half/Half. It's like wine brah, that cheap chit is just as good as the expensive stuff. Unless ur looking for a "Specific" flavor.

stippling...god only knows. People charge anywhere from fukin $150 - $400+
barrels - most barrels these days go for $180-$200+ (X2)
Trigger - probably $100-$150
Dawson sights - $75
Pretty easy to see how quickly it adds up. $2,500 is definitely a giant mark up, but it is what it is. $2,000 is probably a much more fair/reasonable price, but... Of course it's only worth it if you're into that kind of thing. As it goes...an item is worth what someone is willing to pay. As hideous as it is, they'll probably sell loads of them.

Basically have all the ground work, but we do a ton of striking and joint manipulations--some kicks but it's way more limited vs a Karate or TKD. Also incorporate a bunch of throws, reaps, sweeps, etc.foe me bjj is the goat as well. especially if you have any wrestling experience. but like you said, the application after justa few months is great for self defense. one year of jiu jitsu is enough to mangle the majority of goofball thugs out there and stay safe, despite that being a "just getting your feet wet" period of time for actual jiu jitsu.

One of the pitfalls of living in bum fuk nowhere. I would love to take some jujitsu classes but there's no telling how far I would have to drive for that. Probably at least 1 1/2 hours. No thanks.
