 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3221 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | cowie said:Home for the next 5 weeks is the Helnan Palestine Hotel in Alexandria, Egypt. The gym is absolutely gash and not worth updating my journal for, hopefully manage to get a session in at one of the better gyms in the city. i take it you're a contractor in oil/petrochem? feel your pain btw - been IT contracting a good few years now and have had periods juggling client sites; so disruptive to training. even when I find a decent gym, it takes me a couple of weeks to get a feel for the place, know which bars/benches are good etc. (been lucky that i'm on a long term rolling in leeds atm so can train with powerlifting crew at Ralls) | ||

Although it can be frustrating not being able to get a decent cycle sometimes, lifting weights doesn't pay the bills and at 46 am happy to still be training and enjoying it. | ||
