Yes.

I kinda like it although less crowded = less women

Couple things that really bother me is water fountain and lockers are off limits.

I end up just working out until I run out of water, but I'm gonna start bringing more.

Opened at the start of the week and I've went everyday. Temperature checks at the entrance, masks mandatory (except during your set), and you gotta clean your machines.

Yes, I'm going 2-3 times per week right now. Gyms are closed in my state, but I can drive about 35 minutes to Ohio and it's actually a pretty decent facility. Bodyfat is still higher than I'd like, but my muscles are back to 80-90% of pre-COVID at this point.

I've been going on Sundays in the late afternoon. There are maybe 5-10 people in there at that time which is nice. Haven't tried a week night yet.

I'm trying to get back into the habit despite COVID restrictions now. I've been going sporadically over the past 3 weeks. It's not even strictly for bodybuilding at this point. It's for general health since I haven't really lifted for months while the gyms were closed and stuff.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I wear my mask right under my nose and most of these dudes I see at my LA will walk around with no mask (but only a few).
I bring a water bottle which is better cause I drink more water now while I lift = bigger pumps.
Paper towel and couple pumps with that foam **** and just do a light courtesy wipe and I’m on to the next. (Cause I’m polite) I hate when nasty ****s leave their sweat and chit and walk off. I’ll follow them and tell them that **** is phuckin nasty.

I have a community clubhouse down the street from my house that takes reservations for time slots to use their fitness facility. Similar would suck so I take my chances with my gym
