>>
>>39857360

Some gyms, particularly smaller ones, do enforce a maximum number of active memberships to keep the place actually usable.

New years is still usually busier because every paying member suddenly gets their motivation back for three weeks or so but it isn't as ridiculous as January can get in big chain gyms.

I feel like a jackass, because I'm going to look like one of those. I'd been doing yoga and shit at home, but decided it might be worth dropping the dosh on a gym membership to add more and build further muscle. It just so happens that my decision (brought on by coming back from an international trip and having a "OH FUCK WE REALLY ARE FAT!" revelation, although the trip being to skinny-as-fuck Japan didn't help that) coincides with the wave of resolutioners.

I'd go home gym masterrace, but I don't have nearly enough room in my apartment for anything other than some dumbbells. I'm probably going to end up getting ripped off in terms of cost at whatever gym I decide, too, since I'm in a location with a ton of college students.
>>
has sir done another new year gym drawing?
>>
>>39859546
I live in Japan and it's the weirdest shit coming back home for the holidays. You get used to being around skinny people most Japanese dudes are skeletons. Just walking around a Kroger and seeing how fat literally 80% of people are is a weird experience. They look almost comically round.

Not trying to shit on you though, I had the same sort of revelation when I first moved here and started lifting. You can make it man.
>>
>>39859563
Appreciate it. I'm not too worried about my ability to motivate myself, as I was able to consistently stick with my home yoga schedule to the letter for a year and a half, until I had surgery. It fucked my schedule up, and now I have to rededicate. But I dropped like 75 pounds doing that, so I think I can stick with a gym just down the street from me. Problem is, I'm worried about looking like OP's picture.

But yeah, the moment that it hit me when I got back from Japan was when I was at the JFK airport on a connecting flight back to my city (Boston). My friend who I was traveling with got some food from the Wendy's there because there were no other options and we were both hungry as fuck. When he ordered a large soda and we saw that god-damn bucket that shit came in, I immediately went "Oh fuck, that's right. We're back in the States." and knew I had to do something.

But yeah, Japanese dudes are skinny as FUCK. I could probably snap them in half. It's crazy. The girls all wear skirts and high heels, though. So that was cool. Legs everywhere, especially in Ginza and Shibuya.

Being a NYEfag is not dependant on when you start but on how long you stay there
>>
>>39859587
I'm not into 3D but yeah it's crazy out here. Bulking is a BITCH. People look at your like you're a psychopath ordering as much food as I order. Sometimes me and my lifting bros go to all you can eat yakiniku and tell them to just keep bringing meat. They have not once managed to keep up with us.
>>
>>39859624
I can't even imagine what it must be like trying to stay bulked up in Japan. I really liked the food when I went over there, especially the katsu. But that shit's not exactly going to keep you huge without making massive orders. At least fish being everywhere must be beneficial, right?

>>39859589
Too true. I'm just more worried that, being someone who shows up at this time, the staff are going to be looking at me like a free bag of cash. Especially since I'm going to need a few trainer sessions and attend classes to re-learn all my form, since I haven't lifted in years.
>>
>>39859651
Yeah, I buy a lot of bulk chicken and make a lot of curry. Once I get a better Job thought cooking at home becomes a lot better. I'm luck enough to have parents who will send me protein bars every couple of months too.

>>
>>39859662
Real talk, cooking will probably be harder for me than the workouts. Not because I can't do it, but because I'm a lot less motivated to cook when it's just me that I'm cooking for. If there are other people, then no problem. But cooking for myself and only myself is just a weird mentality thing for me. I know that's a retarded way to think, so I have to just get over it. Fortunately I'm pretty sure one of my delayed Christmas gifts is a copy of the Good Housekeeping Cookbook, which is a pretty fucking great book. Shows proper cuts of meat and everything.

That is nice of your parents to send those proteins bars over for you. The shipping must add a pretty penny to the cost. I didn't see a ton of protein bars in stores over there during my vacation the way you see here, so it must be hard to find much on your own, eh? Although the 7-11's over there are fucking godlike compared to ours in every other way.
>>
>>39859704
Two words.
Crock. Pot.

There are tons of things you can make on sunday and portion out for the week. Yeah 7/11 is gdlyk here for sure. Basically there's no real "lifting/fitness" culture here in Japan for men. Protein bars are crazy overpriced so even with shipping from America it's cheaper to send them over.

I do, in fact, already have a crock pot. So that'll be a good excuse to actually use the damn thing. It's sitting right next to my bamboo steamer begging for use since my last roommate (a decently fit black grill) moved out. I can probably even just use that food made there for dinner, since there's a place near my work where I can get a pretty healthy lunch (rice, carrots, daikon, mesclun, and chicken or pork).

Now that I think about it, I don't recall even seeing a single gym in either Tokyo or Kyoto. And I bet those that are around focus more on cardio, huh?
>>
>>39854683
Doing barbell curls on your own squat rack is cathartic.
>>
>>39859783
Yeah they're more hole in the wall places. There's Gold's Gym and 24/7 Fitness but they're crazy expensive and sometimes day restricted where you can only go like mondays and wednesdays at 3-5pm or you have to pay more. Luckily I have a university gym to go to. Seriously though, get that crock pot going and get a decent rice cooker and you're SET man.

>>39859810
I will, for sure.

God, I can only imagine how much gyms in Tokyo charge. I know it's a thing in Japan where necessities are reasonably priced, but anything else can be pretty fucking expensive. Like DVD's are way jacked up in price. Gyms must be the same.

My problem is that every gym around here is charging at least $65/month, with sign-up fees. I think the one nearest me is doing one where if I sign up this month I get a cheaper sign-up fee if I take the version that comes with 4 trainer sessions (which I need, if just to relearn form and sort out my personal schedule), but that place is kinda small, and most of the classes that are going when I get home from work are shit like spinning and zumba. There's another place near me that has a lot more stuff, but they charge 90 fucking dollars a month. I'm going to take a tour of it today to see if it's worth it, but FUCK that's a lot of money.
>>

>>
>>39859851
You don't need a trainer to learn form homie, Just record yourself and ask for tips and shit online on here, Or ask people around your gym. A lot of people who lift big are probably the first person to help you on form cause they wanna see potential in you as well.

>>
>>39859915
True, true. But if I can get those 4 sessions at a much more reasonable price, I might as well take advantage of it. I don't want to bother other people there on my first week or two, ya know? I think that makes a bad impression. Especially since the resolutioners will be around. So I'm already going to have people clumping me in with them mentally, particularly because I've got a gut and love handles I'm trying to get rid of. Weight loss isn't the primary goal for me, as I've already been doing that (used to be 290, down to 215 from diet and yoga), unlike a lot of the people who will be kicking up new memberships. But it isn't something I'm trying to avoid, either.

>>39859821
I saw someone doing sit ups in the (only) squat rack on a box last year. Really made my neurons fire.

You can't spot train my dude. If you have a gut and love handles that just means you're still overweight. Building muscle will help but don't expect to blast your core and just lose the muffin top. Check out Strong Lifts 5x5 and Rippatoe's youtube videos for form on the big 3 too.

I'm autistic enough that whenever I see unracked weights I have to rack them
I tend to also properly rerack pl8s on the pl8 dispenser according to their weight
The lightest pl8s on top
The heaviest pl8s on bottom
No mixed pl8s
Dumbbells are sorted according to their weight from right to left, top to bottom

The gym PTs/supervisors like me a lot because, well, I save them some work
One of them is a fit high test qt pie specialized in Jujutsu, she always like to talk to me and I tend to interrupt my routine to listen to her
She's new and she told me several times she would like to visit the city but she doesn't know anyone here
Maybe I should invite her for a trip in the historical centre (yurop here, so we actually have an historical downtown) but my spaghettis and my bananas are always dripping on the floor

I wouldn't. They have terrible habits normally. If you see a dude who's still there after 2 weeks maybe.

Making friends in the gym or any situation is always a plus

>just give them the straight facts on don't bother coming in unless you have your diet right?
If they ask you to do so, sure. Otherwise keep your opinions and goals to yourself.

What the fuck are you talking about? I've already had arguments with newbie fat fucks who want to take up an entire lane when the lap pool is crowded. Each lane can fit two people easily and each person has their own half of the lane, or you can have up to 4 in a circle swim.

I try to tell them this and they just swim away taking up the center of the lane - it's infuriating that they do nothing to learn or understand gym etiquette.

Well don't forget that today is the first specifically, so people are hung over as fuck.

The gym I went to go tour the facilities of this morning had almost nobody there, either staff nor clients. The person who was showing me around said that even the staff were largely hung over. I would've started my trial there today because of that, but I already had plans for the rest of the day (which I'm still doing even as I write this)
>>
>>39854607

It's a bunch of bullshit, I just went and the place was deserted, just the same interchangeable 5 old bald farts wandering around and a few cardio bunnies

There were 4 people total in the weights and one was a woman and another was a fat Corean. Every single bar was racked when I got there.

>>39854607
already had my first experience like this Thursday after work.
Every cardio machine full.
Five new people just wandering with no real aim or purpose.
One guy looks like that dumb side character from "shawshank redemption" and was also in "the mist".
He goes to the lat pulldown machine which is the last thing I want to work, does one set, then goes over to curl right next to the rack so no one else can get any weights.
Then he runs over to the assisted pullup machine. I figure he must be done with the lat pulldowns since you can't use 3 machines at once. Sit do do my sets.
He comes by to stand awkwardly behind me... waits, then goes to do normal pullups. Goes off to stare at a machine but not use it... then back to stand by me.
I'm still fat enough to be confused for a new years guy, but at least all the regulars recognize me.

Shw literally couldn't give less of a shit about you. You are less than an ant in her eyes and in the eyes of most people. Nobody will judge you for being a NYR besides /fit/. Don't use that as an excuse for your pathetic self to stop exercising.

You're currently a worthless waste of space and an anxious, pathetic, worthless waste of space at that. Your death would mean a net gain, so either kill yourself and end the pathetic, disgusting show that is your life or become someone who people will actually miss when they're gone.

Lose the weight or fucking end it.

Went to the gym today
Still no NYRs
But
But I saw that my gym as started a special promotion
10 €/mo for six months, then you can recede (so, NYRs can opt out at July, right in time for summer)

I know they'll lure a good amount of normies who want to """tone""" a little

They told me that the invasion of normies has been tremendous last year (I moved to this gym in september) and lasted for a month of so

Hopefully nobody will show up at 7 AM or at 9 PM

I'm about to join you guys too, but it's not because of new years resolutions. I think resolutions are complete horseshit. Its just happens to line up with it.

Quick question if you don't mind. Am skeleton. Trying to bulk. I have access to a gym but I was wanting to do some bodyweight training so I can workout at home. Am I a fool to think that I can bulk with bodyweight or should I just quit being stupid and just go with weights?
>>
>>39859675
Beta
>>
>>39865974

Push ups and pull ups do go a long way. A friend of mine started getting decently sized arms by doing a set of 30 every day and adding five more each week. Course the weights allow you to work muscle groups that normally wouldn't be touched otherwise, but bodyweight stuff is good for home and helps a overall better routine.

Never, there will always be people who judge you for many reasons. They will draw conclusions about you for said reasons.

The only way to not be a try hard is to not worry about looking like a try hard. Anyone who has any respect for themselves or others are not there to meet a standard, those who are will express their insecuteities in relationship to that standard by personally attacking others, or themselves through harsh judgement.


Don't be once of these people, insecurities are innately self-destructive though proccesses, you either have a scarcity or abundance in relationship to these insecurities. Acceptance is the only way out.

Just remember, this applies to your insecurities about your looks. Things like your physical and mental health lie in different insecurities about meaning, fulfillment, self-worth, etc.

You're right.

I shouldn't give a shit, but it's tough. I'm not a judgy person, and I know most people aren't, but I've always been insecure. There's actually a gym literally across the street from me that's open 24 hours, I didn't know there was one that close.

Maybe I'll start with a month there, and start going in later in the night when there's less people until I'm more confident.

The most important thing is get a good bench, a lot of the cheeper ones have weight limits like 250lb. DONT BUY THE CAP BARBELL 1" SHIT THOSE BARS HAVE LOW WEIGHT CAPACITIES

I'm worried that as a lanklet, I'll be viewed as a NYR fag even though I've been going to the uni gym since I started my freshmen year and been working out more seriously for about a year.
I don't know if I should be extra careful and polite to stay out of everyone's way or if I should just push around the place like everyone else.
Second semester doesn't start until next week so haven't gotten to see how bad it will be yet.
I've never seen how bad it gets at a public gym either since I started at my home gym.
Hopefully if SIR's comics, while exaggerated, are a correct depiction of people not knowing what to do.
That'll be the only thing that sets me apart from them since I come with a routine and don't wander.

I'm starting to have nightmares about the weights being everywhere though.

That's only one of the peak times. Most gyms peak at around 0700-0900 and again at 1530-2000. People like to work out before work or after they finish eating supper.

What's with home gym fags being so smug ?

Resolutioners only last 1 month max. At least I get to meet people at the gym for the rest of the year, perhaps lift together. Can't do that in a home gym.

>Gym is now filled with faggot teenage twinks wearing over £200 in designer gym equipment each

Why do people do this? I understand buying something if you actually like it, I bought some Gymshark track pants because they're comfy as fuck but who actually goes out and spends hundreds of pounds on workout clothing if you've JUST started?

No joke, some guy was wearing some Gucci trainers, underarmor hoodie, gymshark compression shirt, underarmor shorts, underarmor boxers, underarmor socks, gymshark hat, had a gymshark water bottle and a gymshark bag.

I just don't fucking understand.
>>
>>39872655
I did the same thing when I first went. I looked at the gym as a learning experience. I wanted to learn how to use all of the machines and what muscles they worked before I started legitimately working out. Mind you the first time I went was at 12:30 at night so I could do that without people staring at me and I could read all the instructions.

Went in at 5am today and yesterday and no one new was there. Feels good.

I went today at 11:00 and I'd say the gym was 70% more busy than usual. Notably the machines and cardio sections. The machine sections were filled with a bunch of over weight middle aged men. Some of which were using lifting belts to use the chest press and ohp machines. About halfway through my workout I saw a guy using a barbell in the squat rack as a landmine (with no attachment) even though the actual landmine was already free. He also had a close grip cable row attachment (I have no fucking idea why he had it). Later I saw him doing bent-over rows with a back angle of like 20 degrees and a range of motion of 5 inches.

One chick next to my power rack was hoarding 6 different fixed weight barbells in the corner of the gym to use for her walking lunges around the gym. A different girl was standing sideways on the V-Squat machine and doing one legged half squats.

Shortly before I left a guy loaded 1pl8 on a barbell and started doing quarter squats on a bosu ball in the middle of the pathway.

There were also people waiting to use cardio machines which never normally happens. /fit/ stories did not disappoint me.

>>39864986
Same here. Going down to your basement full of weights just isn't the same as going to a whole facility dedicated to lifting/exercise. I'd rather deal with a few assholes and wait for equipment than be a lonely shut in.

You'll simply learn more and be exposed to more possibilities at a real gym.

>>39859546 here. I went and started my trial today. Going to go to a class later tonight. The one I really wanted (the primary weight class) already happened this morning, so I'm going to a combination spin/bodyweight one run by the gym's manager, and I've already signed up for classes the rest of the week. I did see a couple people while I was talking with the account manager who looked totally fucked and out of shape, but 90% of the people there seemed like regulars, based on their appearance and that they had a rapport with staff. I'm curious how it's going to look at that class tonight, though. Should be interesting.

Simply sounds like what she would have seen is that you had been going for 40 minutes (based on time on treadmill if she cared enough to notice). Then you put the effort level up and kept going until you couldn't take any more.
She simply saw you doing a workout that left nothing behind. Go back and do the same again, congrats anon!

The only good thing about resolutioners are the newbie delicious fresh pieces of meat girls who think me repping 205 on the bench is impressive and 'mire my chest pump
I'm focused when I lift but I do like occasional attention

Well I went to the gym yesterday during the middle of the day. Usually there is nobody there except me and like 2-3 others (maybe) on a Sunday but... let me tell you there were like 15 people there. I didn't think it would be like this..it's probably gonna be worse today since it's Monday the start of the week. Anyways Idk if I'm alone on this one but I actually like the crowd. It's better than being alone for the whole workout. Maybe I feel their energy and it goes into me.. I'm fucking weird okay.

Keep at it. This was me about 10 months ago when I started doing 2 hour walks around my hometown every other day to lose weight (was too far to dare go in a gym!) - I'm now nearly 60lbs lighter and can do my walk in 90 minutes without breaking a sweat.

Plus, if the woman is mostly normal, she's going to be just interested in her own shit and won't give you more than a passing thought. Only the retards are going to mock you for trying to better yourself, and let's face it - who gives a fuck what a spastic thinks?

I can sense she likes to talk to me but I'm always at a loss for words, I just let her tell me about her experiences here and abroad, her childhood, her studies and so on; she seems to really like to tell me her life. Saying something like "would you like to have a coffee or something outside here" seems too explicit and direct, I'd prefer things to "blend in" since she's someone I see on an almost daily basis
I've already browsed her insta, she was engaged and now she's single
I've thought about asking her to show me this jujutsu (the only martial art I knew as a kid was karate) but that could seem like I'm hiring her for a lesson if I'm too autistic in doing it
When I was a little younger I was much more careless, I don't know exactly what happened to me
Autism I guess
>>39873807
Sure, something like "hey bitch, let's jujutsu out of here and onto my garden, there's a big bone I've discovered there for you to examine and I suspect you're pretty good in archaeology" amirite

All honesty tho, she seems like she likes you
Just man up and ask her on a day out or walk around town in the evening then head for dinner and drinks.
If she rejects you, oh well. That's better than you not trying.
