I think my step sister works at the YMCA

2018-01-30 21:57:48 UTC  

That could be helpful

2018-01-30 21:59:19 UTC  

Might garner a discount or something

2018-01-30 21:59:24 UTC  

Worth checking out

I went to the YMCA years ago, I liked it. Lots of people there, but no one using the heavy weights. Plus my YMCA had a bad ass locker room, sauna, steam room, massive shower room. All pluses for me.

2018-01-30 22:01:30 UTC  

Tbh I've only used a university rec center like once so I have no idea what to look for

2018-01-30 22:03:13 UTC  

Gyms that have lots of machines are less intimidating to start.

Gyms with free weights are better for strength training.

2018-01-30 22:14:45 UTC  

I assume there's someone there who can explain the machines and stuff?

2018-01-30 22:17:53 UTC  

Yeah, there will always be someone there who can explain which machines are what

2018-01-30 22:33:13 UTC  

How much do most memberships cost?

2018-01-31 00:21:56 UTC  

I pay 45.99 per month for 24 hour fitness

2018-01-31 00:22:46 UTC  

Not sure what YMCA costs but I imagine it's less

2018-01-31 00:37:09 UTC  

I'm stuck in a contract paying $43.29 for an Anytime Fitness. The gym that I actually go to costs $10 and is infinitely better than the Anytime Fitness! I recommend you look around and weigh your options before you sign a contract. Learning life lessons is fun.

@StrawberryArmada
1) My former gym was huge and cost $30/month

2) Instead of looking for someone to show you how do use machines/freeweights....
A) Consider coming up with a plan online. There are an infinate amount of articles and free weight training routines availlable.

2018-01-31 00:42:24 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada Here are some resources. Good on you for wanting to seek self improvement!

2018-01-31 00:52:59 UTC  

Should I worry about not being able to do certain exercise? Is there any way to tell what I'll be able to handle?

2018-01-31 00:59:00 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada Bro, find a beginner plan from someone who you see as an expert.

Then follow the plan with discipline. After 3-4 months of lifting, you'll have the experience to know what you want, and how to achieve it.

For me, Mark Rippetoe was my guru. I followed his starting strength plan for like a year, and I gained 20 solid lbs of bodymass.

2018-01-31 01:39:34 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada Overthinking it, just go lift

2018-01-31 10:34:16 UTC  

found the gym for all of us to go workout at

2018-01-31 12:09:25 UTC  

😆

2018-01-31 18:03:49 UTC  

There's a pretty lulzy video of the Muslim womyn teaching the class how to throw noodley punches

2018-01-31 23:01:40 UTC  

Who in gods name would take that class

2018-02-01 21:17:23 UTC  

Same

`have helped popularize a particularly violent version of combat-ready racism, offering an example of how to advance white nationalism with perfectly executed strikes and takedowns, which have already been used with vicious effect in street battles in California and beyond.`

2018-02-01 22:44:47 UTC  

heheh

2018-02-01 22:50:02 UTC  

Get off our n*ts, lefties.

2018-02-01 23:10:24 UTC  

"combat-ready racism"

2018-02-02 01:26:33 UTC  

Hey goys I know I guy who is interested in intermittent fasting. I would appreciate any relevant sources anyone has

2018-02-02 01:29:29 UTC  

There's an article about it freshly posted in the nutrition channel.

2018-02-02 04:38:46 UTC  

Holy cow

at what point does mobility become a concern when you're body building? A guy with massive arms and chest looks like he can barely move tbh. Is this a problem?

2018-02-02 19:04:47 UTC  

@this_that5553 IMO, very much. But you'd be surprised at the mobility of olympic style powerlifters. The limberness in their legs, shoulders, wrists, and arms is incredible.

2018-02-02 19:04:54 UTC  

Bodybuilders, not so much

2018-02-02 20:46:36 UTC  

Just leave humanity behind and don't look back

2018-02-02 21:06:18 UTC  

Whatever it takes
