@@LittleBill Check out the 50 meter fly here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loZAwxtiwv4. Most of the Chinese don't have arms and do it in less than 30 seconds. They broke the world record again and the 2nd place guy was only .03 slower than the old record.

No arms. You can work the whole body.

Im switching gyms today. I will be apart of the influx of new faces. On the bright side my good friend is the manager of the new gym so I will be treated well.

I am a firm believer in this sort of attitude. I just don't care for the rude people who think they own the place, whether they are new or not.

Okay, that was pretty impressive.

This is why I say people should try swimming. It can work various parts of the body without being hard on knees, shoulders, etc. If you look at these swimmers you see them looking pretty good. The fly develops the core and back and the legs. As you can tell the main guy didn't get shoulders like that from lifting weights.

Okay, that was pretty impressive.

I highly recommend hiring a trainer or signing up for some classes that keep you on a schedule of required attendance. Though it can be expensive, it helped me a lot in the beginning.

I like this. Most of the regulars are pretty friendly. I no longer try to help people using machines correctly. Some get offended and pissed off if you offer assistance.

I just joined the ymca in November. But man this week has been crazy. Even to the point of waiting for a parking spot.

For reasons beyond my control, I have not even been able to make it to the gym since I started this thread. I am almost afraid to go. I've got the ole stationary bike here at home to keep me somewhat honest though.

I went to the gym today around 3pm and it was incredibly crowded. Its a large gym and they have recently hired many new staff members from receptionists, to operations staff, to trainers. Lots of new members with new sneakers, copper socks, fancy Water bottles, new clothes, and wearable devices. I mostly used the free weights today so the new members (who were mostly using the cardio machines) did not slow me down.

For the next two months I will have to stay away from prime time (lunch and after work) gym visits. Everything should be back to normal in March.
