Found a Blink Fitness a 10min walk from my job. $283 for the entire year if I pay up front. That's less than a dollar a day. And I get access to all locations in NYC. I can go lift on my lunch break and after work... thank goodness. This will shorten my days and I won't have to rely on the security guard at the YMCA being there. I might get a new job soon, but that's fine. There's another location about a 10min bike ride away from my home.

There's no basketball court there but whatever. I barely play anymore anyway. Maybe in the future I'll re-sign for a gym with a court if I really want to play. Or I can sign up for the NYC Parks rec centers for like $150 a YEAR or whatever it is, they have courts across the city

 :lololol:

Now I can finally be as consistent as possible again!

so don't lower the weight, add rest. get to 8-10 quicker.

yeah i should probably do that for a while until i can get 3x8.

i bet that if you add an extra minute to your squat rests you'd get to 3x5 quicker.

Definitely, but those backup sets are supposed to be sets of 8-10. i was at like 8 8 6 before i went down. im too hardheaded to lower the weight though. It'll just kill my motivation tbh

Changing up my back/shoulder workout. I want more volume and less rest. Maybe this will help put on some size. I'm fiending for a ripped back and capped delts now. My delts are lagging, I need to bring them up.

I know I had other workouts before this that I didn't write down, but I've been slacking lately. Haven't lifted in like 10 days so I took it easy today, otherwise I'll get too sore to do my next workout.

I'm in gym limbo right now. My uni can't get a deal with my current gym to give us a cheap membership. I'm relying on this cool security guard to be there everytime I go to get in for free. Sometimes he isn't there. I have to start looking for cheap gyms in the area probably.

Did a workout with a friend of mine. Went to his gym. Haven't seen him in a while so I said whatever fuck it. Hit back and shoulders very hard. Used machines too... which I hated... but I learned something. The lateral pulldown machine is damn good at ironing out discrepancies between my right and left sides! I've stuck to pull ups on a bar for forever, but my arms were all over the place with this thing. I may incorporate them into my regular workout every now and then.

I also did shoulder presses with the machine. I haven't done any kind of shoulder presses in ages since my tris would take over the movement, but I felt them only in my delts this time. Mostly front delts. I think I may throw some DB shoulder presses back into my workouts if I can maintain most of the tension on my shoulders.

I also did some rear delt flyes. I haven't done these in years. Man they feel good. I should throw these in too!

The workout had a lot of reps with short rest periods and some supersets too. I like working out upperbody this way sometimes. I may start to change my routine.

Can't wait for this new damn iPhone to come out. My 5c is starting to crap out. New iPhone rumored to have 2GB RAM, and it's DDR4 this time. I played around with an LG G4 and a Galaxy S5 but cot damn I hate android now. I used to love it, weird.

Kept having stuff get in the way. I'd show up to the gym and my guy who lets me in free wasn't there. Then other obligations popping up and not letting me lift. Anyway I should be back on track from this point moving forward... September 1st I should have my regular membership back and not have to rely on this guy letting me in free. So I may miss a workout or two until then if he's not there dammit. He has a steady schedule but sometimes is pulled away from the front desk randomly for other duties.

I want to switch to a 6 day/wk workout routine, but it'll take up too much time and i know ill miss a lot of workouts.
something like push/legs/pull. i mean i do upper/lower right now... i would just be splitting upper body day into push upper and pull upper. this way i could add a little bit more volume.

i think i need more volume to really progress in my upper body. especially my delts. but my workouts will simply start to take way too long. id love to do like 10 work sets of bench presses. a bunch of different back exercises. and hit shoulders more often than i do right now. also train my calves more.

Weight shot back up to 192lbs. Creatine and glycogen loaded now. I want to hover at just under 190 though. Then again, this isn't a fasted weight like I used to take it.

I went to the gym Tuesday but the security guard who lets me in for free wasn't there. So I came back Wednesday. I'm still going to do lowerbody thursday and upperbody on friday anyway. I want to stay on track. I can't lift on weekends either, because the guard only works mon-fri. fuck paying $200 for a 3 month summer membership. I should get my student membership back starting september 1st. $75 for the semester. Even though I'm not a student anymore heheheh.
