Stay/Get Back In Shape.... Vol 2.0

Never have heard of equinox down here (fl)

My membership at powerhouse is 98.99 ( but I get it for 41.73)

And the gym has EVERYTHING as far as workouts go.

No bball court, as the gym is not targeted to that.

I love my gym, like my second family.
 
One of my ex's used to go to the equinox here in miami. I think she was paying over 100/mo but it was ridiculous how nice that place was. I took one of those free 1 week trials just to be wowed. I remember they had towels in a mini fridge that were cold cool, slightly damp and some minty smell

Down here you you shouldn't be paying more than 30/month at those LA's & 24s or even smaller gyms are about that price too

my gym has everything including basketball court/pool and racquet ball.......they also got plenty of free classes also.

yea powerhouse is legit but its basically a lifters gym........i have one of those in my area also, not far from my la fit.

i pay 29.99 for la fitness an i have another gym membership thats 15 a month. i got decent gyms in my area now that i think about it, a lot to choose from.
 
equinox out here is the same price as it is on the east coast. much better than any 24 hour fitness no matter how cheap it is.
 
Looking at the equinox website... ehhh

I'm not into all the extra fancy hotel type things catering to middle aged women.

I'll take a stripped down warehouse with a power rack, a bench, weights, maybe some tires and a sledgehammer over all of that any day.

My strength workouts last around 45 minutes. I hardly ever go past 50 minutes. If I'm at the gym longer than one hour than I would have done some cardio on top of lifting.

every gym in boston (like new york) is relatively more expensive than suburban or west coast gyms since space is so limited. huge gym in the middle of the financial district = $$$
i know the rates go up and down depending on when you sign up but i think i pay about $145/month for single-club access at equinox. 

whereas the cheapest gyms in boston will be around $60-70/month.

places like 24 hour fitness on the west coast you can get memberships for like $25/month or less since space is cheap.

Definitely a specific market.

  
 
I'm actually bulking right now. Any tips on a different routine would be great since I been using this one for awhile now. I wouldn't mind changing the split to like a 5 day. I need to cut down on my rest time and the amount of excercises I do for sure. So Any input would be appreciated
Monday- chest/biceps
Tuesday- back/triceps
Wednesday- rest
Thursday- legs/ ABS
Friday- shoulders
Saturday/Sunday- rest

This. Plus sometimes the presence of good looking females makes me motivated on days I'm not feeling it .
 
Its never a bad thing to have some fine females there too, unless maybe ur spotter gets distracted haha
Honestly, that equinox place was cool and all but you don't need all that stuff to lift. 

university gym ftw. dont gotta worry about monthly payments and theres always good looking chicks in there

Any of y'all make protein smoothies? Been making them lately with some frozen fruit and half a cup of oj since it's so damn hot out, but Idk if that's too much post-workout. I might be switching to almonde milk instead of oj since it has less sugar, though.

as much as I shouldn't really add ice cream, it really adds calories, but still some sugar.
just try to add in some powder to baked goods, like find an amount you want to put in like cookies, and do that. 
 
so im trying to focus on my deltoids and i dont really know any deltoid workouts. any recommended deltoid workouts with dumbbells or anything else
