Yeah waking up at 5 AM for the first time is a lot like taking a dick in the ass for the first time.

Wish I had the motivation to get up before 8am. Working out after work sucks ass.

One thing that helped me with this was only waking up 15 minutes earlier every week or so. I used to wake up around 6-630a. Over about a month I set my alarm forward and eventually reached 5a. I have been successfully waking up at 5a for the past 30 days or so without much incident.

Another item that helps is immediately brushing my teeth in the morning. I tell myself if I want to go to bed after that I can. It invariably wakes me up enough to keep going.

Doing this got me enough extra time to start a body weight routine / yoga in the morning depending on the day. It is actually pretty nice.

Ok, fuck people that use a squat rack for some upper body purpose, walk off to do 3 other lifts and then come back shocked you took over the squat rack to do squats. Fuck you. Use machine, bench, rack, weight, etc... until you are done and then move to something else. Nobody gives a shit about your 10 lift circuit.

I don't mind them using the squat rack to do whatever but if they leave, it's claimed. I like when they leave their sweatshirt on it or something as if that is some kind of marker.

It is a marker. I do that. Not to hold it while I go to another machine though... just when I grab some water since for whatever reason I never bring a water bottle with me to the gym.

Ok I guess I meant as if it is a marker that actually means anything. I always check to see if the guy just ran to the water fountain but if I don't see them coming back, I toss it on another machine and proceed to work out.

I really need to start bringing a water bottle with me. It's so annoying when I step off something for a second to go to the fountain, come back, and someone is unracking my weights.

Just go to the fountain between machines rather than between sets. Problem solved.

I'm an asshole who brings a gallon of water with me.

I used to think meatheads were douches for doing it, then I realized why they do it.

You two make so much fucking money I don't understand why you don't already have power racks at home.

Unless you're just going to look at yoga ass. Take a yoga class. All the yoga ass you can handle. I'm too fucking insecure so I stopped after a month because I was restricted to looking at the floor or the ceiling. (And it wasn't doing shit to help my back problem.)

I like going to the gym. Keeps me motivated to finish my workout and go home. If I work out at home I get bored and end up sitting down and never start again.

I don't have any room for gym equipment or else I would. I live in a second floor apartment as well so that's just not going to happen

It's the Mecca as far as I'm concerned. Place I went to had a few milfs and lots of college chicks. No real fatties when I was there.

Going to the water fountain is different than trying to "claim" it by leaving shit there or tons of weight on the barbell while doing other exercises elsewhere.


(Bro, bring a water bottle. Haha) =P
