GA's governor is going against the wishes of his state's mayors to open up his state. Specifically naming gyms, fitness centers, salons, massage therapists, nail salons and body art studios to reopen on Friday. All of those businesses rely on close interpersonal contact.

This experiment will end disastrously.

We're opening in phases, phase 1 to begin if there's 2 weeks straight of declining patient numbers. Phase 3 will basically be back to normal. Feel bad for jiu jitsu gyms because they're part of phase 3 while the other gyms will get to open much sooner.

That's why I'm hesitant to attend. Like I really really want to go back into the gym, but I don't want to be that asshole killing people because I didn't follow recommendations.

If you bought a home gym set up why not just stick with it? Or is it backordered?

Still waiting to even ship. Ordered a bar and a three hundred kilos of bumper plates. There's a several week backorder claimed, and I'm not even sure that's accurate.

Those estimates are overly optimistic. Weight stamping factories are not considered an essential business for the time being.

One hand I don't want to be that asshole going out for no reason and spreading illness. On the other hand, I don't want to spend more time out of the gym than possible.

I'm thinking if I do go, I can just mask up and be very clean with my washing and disinfect everything I can before and after. My area only accounts for about 250 deaths, but I don't want to be the reason it gets jacked up even higher.

Tough decision to make. I'm going fucking crazy doing bodyweight stuff.

Everyone already considers you an asshole anyway, but I do see your point.

I didn't say I don't want to be an asshole. I don't want to be "that asshole". I'm perfectly fine with being an internet MMA forum asshole. I just don't want to be a "cause the miserable death of old and weak because I don't listen to medical advice asshole"
 
Big props to Titan. I ordered a sled from them Saturday and it arrived yesterday. Now I'm dragging 180lbs around my backyard doing tricep extensions and face pulls with it, 30 rep sets. So much better than just doing shit in the basement for accessories.
 
Meanwhile ordered a deadlift jack the same day from elitefts and havent even gotten a shipping notification
 
Guys you are all going to get corona
It’s happening
All we were trying to do was make sure we didn’t get too many cases at once
Take a breath, just do it six feet away from someone else

anywho now we just need stuff to start shipping again
 
I can’t find shit !!!! I’ve been doin pull ups and I got 2 standard plate dumbbells I got 37 pounds of plates on each but I wanted 4 ten pound plates. It’s easier finding gold then weights. Who’s hoarding all the weights!!!!????????!!!! I’m not asking for much!!!!!!
 


notice the ample belly on most of the strongest men on earth

Scotland's First Minister has stated that while the Lockdown will slowly be eased, it will be in stages over the rest of the year, with the option to reimpose total Lockdown if cases spike again. Gyms/dojos will almost certainly be among the last businesses to reopen, along with hotels and bars. I doubt I'll get back in the gym before June/July at the earliest.
