Anyone who reads this site regularly knows how much I hate 99% of all public gyms. It’s just not really my scene. Plus they never have the stuff I want and always have too much of the stuff I don’t want.
I found this piece by Stuart McRobert which echoes my sentiments (and probably yours) and thought it was awesome so I’m sharing it here:
“This gym is all appearance and no substance. It is only because we have a lot of fancy-looking equipment that we impress everyone who knows little or [...]
“I’m getting old.”
“I can’t do the things I used to.”
“I’m over the hill.”
“I can’t train heavy anymore.”
“I can’t keep up with the twenty somethings anymore.”
“I’m starting to feel my age.”

The problem with being like everyone else is that everyone else sucks.
My advice is not to do it…
How do you start your day each morning?
Do you angrily smash the alarm clock and roll out of bed exhausted, dreading another day doing what you hate?
Or do you spring up fresh and well rested because you went to sleep before 11pm like you know you should, and get excited to tackle another day doing what you love?
After hitting the bathroom do you stagger into the kitchen and get a pot of coffee [...]
Last Sunday I watched as my Giants collapsed in the fourth quarter and got their asses whipped by Michael Vick and the Eagles. Whether you’re a fan or not you’d have to agree that Vick is a pleasure to watch and one hell of an athlete.
During the game, my buddy Mike DeSanti and I discussed Michael Vick and wondered if America could or would forgive him.
