OT 18: Anti-Social Distancing

I was second guessing myself on remembering that correctly for a bit after posting.
Brand? He was annoying to play against since people took him to the top lane and I was up there with a close range fighter and couldn’t touch his long range.Calvinball wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 12:37 pmI actually played just as much or maybe more as the fire guy. I could get him leveled pretty quick to have a combo that would take out anyone.
Probably the best case scenario, tbh. Mid-week slump = WFH
Gyms here are finally able to open indoors, starting tomorrow.SAWCE wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 10:29 am Didn’t do too much over the weekend.. Woke up early both days and got Ava to the park before other people and dogs showed up and it got too hot.. hit the gym, cleaned around the house, went grocery shopping.
Gyms are finally legally allowed to open indoors again out here, but only at 10% capacity. At my gym that means 43 people at a time. There’s gonna be a line to get in, but they treat me like an employee and let me bypass the line, so that’ll be nice. And with only 43 people in there it should feel pretty empty like it used to before all this BS started.

I’m thinking I might get back to my 5/5:30AM sessions. Pre-Vid there were like 6 people in the gym at that time.
Probably the safest time to go, especially if your gym isn’t open 24 hours. Staff most likely cleaned the equipment after closing the night before or before opening that morning, plus fewer people spewing germs while you’re there.
That’s my thoughts, since it’s not open 24 hours. It’ll have been cleaned and I’d be the first one to touch anything, usually.
Went winin and watched 6 different types of choppers battle the epic wildfiresD Griff wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 9:54 amI used to do Tuesdays and Fridays back before the ‘VID started.
How was everyone’s weekends?
We hung out with our across the street neighbors Friday night after meeting them on the street for the first time. They were actually 5/7 people, look forward to hanging again. Saturday I did yard work, planted some new shrubs and shit. Sunday did a bike ride with a friend, cut the grass, did a bit of work on the C5, grilled out.

I’ve jumped on the intertoobs a couple times looking at bars and benches. Preliminary stages of talking myself into actually spending money.
Have spent most of San Diego’s actual quarantine time lifting all by myself (maybe 1 or 2 other people in there with me) in an empty gym on the weekends, I don’t think I’d ever do a home gym setup unless there just isn’t a gym in a 1 hour radius of me or I can’t afford the time away from home if one is about that far. The energy with other people in there really pushes me to drive even harder, especially watching people progress or hit a really big lift.. that shit amps me up. A day or two here or there with a gym to myself is nice, but long term I enjoy having other people in there with me.Calvinball wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 11:28 amI’ve jumped on the intertoobs a couple times looking at bars and benches.

I agree. I really loved my outdoor lifting sessions at home initially (mostly because the weather was awesome). It is always nice to throw in some variety from time to time, but overall, I enjoy the gym environment for lifting. It's funny because I almost never speak to anyone. I do enjoy running and cycling alone though, but I think that makes me all the more excited to get in a gym with others.SAWCE wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 11:46 amHave spent most of San Diego’s actual quarantine time lifting all by myself (maybe 1 or 2 other people in there with me) in an empty gym on the weekends, I don’t think I’d ever do a home gym setup unless there just isn’t a gym in a 1 hour radius of me or I can’t afford the time away from home if one is about that far.

Epic weather here this weekend. Upper 70's to low 80's was
Worked outside both days on my painting project (gotta update thethread about that) and Saturday night picked up Messican food from a new-to-us place and met up with my bro and SIL and niece and nephew and the 6 of us had a little picnic outside at our park district to celebrate SIL's birthday, which is today. I had fish tacos and wifey had a steak burrito. T'was

Yep, I’m pretty happy at home, but I have a few gym bro’s that I’ll have a quick convo with or even just a fist bump as we walk by each other and that’s a perfect amount of social interaction for me.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 12:01 pmI agree.

Having different machines/equipment is nice as well. Being in a small space with the same few options available gets really boring for me. I was also someone who thrived on the road all week every week; some people are most happy at home, I'm not that person.
