Got some bad news, Fellas.
I always told myself “I still got it”
In terms of fitness and looking half way decent.
I saw myself in some pictures of this weekend at the beach.
Bruh. I lost it.
Dadbod. 🥲😔🫣

I’ve had a dadbod since well before I was actually a father but I realized like two months ago that the hair on the top of my head is thinning…that was a real come-down.

I'm also a Planet Fitness member, there are some straight-up weirdos there, but you know, at least it's cheap. The expensive gyms also have weirdos.

My gym wasn't cheap, but being the only weirdo in it (in my basement) = priceless 😅

Before I was at PF, my employer has a large and fancy gym where I was a member. A bit nicer equipment, two pools, hot tub, sauna, and indoor running track. But after seeing countless naked coworkers, including one doing push-ups naked in the locker room, and another cutting his own hair with dog clippers in the bathroom sink... Naked... I gave up.

You're supposed to go buy the biggest pair of garden shears you can find, then walk around the gym aggressively opening and closing them 'as a pec exercise'.

Then be social and ask, "Need help? A little off the tip?... top. Top. A little off the top?" ***SNIP*** ***SNIP***

See how quickly that stops.


🤣🤣🤣

Madcap magician: I have heard some creepy stories regarding the fanciest club here.
I used to be a hardcore gym rat and went to ones that had puke buckets that frequently got used. You know you are around serious guys when the average thigh was bigger than the average waist! Lol. Some truly monstrous bodybuilders moving weights I could only dream of. I can’t imagine being in a gym where some want to work out and others are just posing for instagram photos and other weirdos are just looking at meat. My main workouts in summer are cutting
trees/firewood and trail work and winters is snow removal. Nobody else around. Martial arts mats are always fun though.

I caught an unexpected glimpse of myself in the camera the other day. I went to take a picture and it was in selfie mode.

That's rough man.

Rough.

Wait until your 70. (I still try to see 40 year old me in the mirror.)

I look in the mirror nowadays and I see my dad smiling, so I smile back as I miss him and I'm pleased to see him. Then I realise I'm just a mad guy interacting with a reflection

The last time I worked out anywhere but in my own home gym was when my old agency had gyms available for us at the SAC office or at the AFB when I worked at the air wing...and we could use them during the course of our day according to our own schedule.

Having a home gym is one of the best investments I have ever made...and I've had one of some sort or other since the early 80's. I could never go to a public facility now. I'm too used to being able to work out when I want to, not waiting for some piece of equipment to be available, and not needing to wipe off someone's sweat from the bench or stand around b.s.-ing.
