Weekly Workout Progress

you never spent 1 hour with someone's dirty sweaty body on you either (sex doesn't count)

if you think i'm bullshitting, just ask whoever teaches the jiu jitsu

like i mentioned before, ringworm is so popular with grappling arts, that trainers and students take hygiene pretty seriously. if you have ringworm, you can't train and that's a waste of money. If you're promoting ringworm and dirty habits by having a stinky ass belt, you won't find people willing to roll with u. in fact, you may get sent out.

it's simple science tho...all that rubbing and grinding on the skin, makes it more susceptible to infections. make sure they wipe their mats and clean their showers frequently also. that's the first thing I did before training.

Just saw the pics that shit is nasty as fuck. I might have to rethink this and find a place closer to home. I don't want to be sitting in my own sweat for an hour after practice and end up life that.

lul

i was in the same boat as u, which is why i made sure to ask those questions to the academy staff in charge of keeping the place up. MMA gyms usually have showers, so you can use those or find a place closer to home like u said. I would say that 90 percent of the guys I rolled with, went straight to the locker rooms to wash afterwards. Those are the kind you want to roll with, because you know they care just as much as you do. The oddball who'd roll, then just leave...you just hoped and prayed he was going somewhere else to shower.:smt095
 
man, it really sucks when you have to drive home while stewing in your own sweat, cold and uncomfortable

note to self, don't forget changing clothes

Question...........Do you guys wipe down and sanitize benches and equipment when you train at public gyms ? or I am overly germ-conscious...

I'm not a guy but my gym provides sanitizing wipes that look like Lysol wipes to wipe the equipment off. I do it but I am a germaphobe.

Planet Fitness gets a lot of criticism from serious fitness buffs, but that's one thing I like about them: they provide towels and sanitizer for people to do just that. Personally, I don't want to work out on a piece of equipment that was recently vacated by someone dripping with sweat. And with MRSA still a threat....yeah, I'd rather be a bit germ-conscious than not.

When I was much younger at penn state, I never wiped down anything. Don't think we wiped down anything during HS football either. Bunch of dirty guys holed up in the weight room not giving a damn.

I lift strictly at my home gym now and wipe down equipment religiously
 
plans to start again walking soon in few day when i feel better
then use some of the other stuff i got

I have got my exercise stuff from the garage and put all in one room :p

I have something simmilar hardly ever used it .. with a nice set of weights

repped u because it was loooooong overdue

i do like the bench setup tho...

in fact, i need to upgrade mine

it only supports 310lbs worth of loaded barbell, and that's not even close to what I can max out at. I'd like to get something that supports at least 500lb, but most sites I been to don't list max capacities for their benches. Power racks generally do list their max capacities, but they look so big and bulky. I gotta find a compromise somewhere.

as for medicine balls..i generally don't use those...

for workouts like that, I usually take a weight plate and run through core exercises.

i'd recommend isolation exercises on the triceps

you know...dumbbell kickbacks while you're bent over, and tricep overhead extensions

good exercises on their own for that specific muscle, while also helping you out with compound movements like bench pressing

i thought about bowflex a lot

i have their select-tech dumbbells which i use religiously, but thats about it

if i had more space, i would probably get something like their total gym, just to mix things up and do stuff i cant really do with free weights

resistance wise, im sure they go up to 500 or whatever since they cater to the hardcore fitness market, that's willing to drop 1500 dollars on equipment
