Was happy with where I was going, slowly but surely building some size and strength.

The etiquette at my gym is horrible. Punks monopolizing weights or stations while they scroll their phones for 5 minutes between sets, and equipment scattered to hell and gone. I’ll see if I can channel my anger creatively and approach the president of the club about it nicely. Something for the newsletter, maybe.

Yeh I can’t stand those phone scrollers!! Apologies if some of you on here do this lol but be aware. We’re here to workout not look at our phones! By the way it’s for that very reason I go at 4am. Nice and quiet 😁

Don’t get me wrong, I track my sets on the phone, but it’s the digital equivalent of a clipboard. And I’m not apologizing 🙃, if you are a scroller you are doing it wrong!

Haha 🤣 I do use my phone btwn sets but mainly only to keep track of my weights and reps. Sometimes Ill scroll on social media breifly but only for a minute as Im resting in btwn sets. I cant stand it either when people are literally sitting there for 5-10min. Especially when theres only 1 of the machine that I need.

Seeing some veins starting to pop. I’m so grateful I have this space to challenge myself and that I’ve found the willingness to stay sober. Just hit 500 days without alcohol.
