Yeah, it’s one of those gyms where you don’t have to wait on equipment, even if there are folks there. So far, we’ve seen a good dozen or so during week at one time. No high school kids, or loitering. Some serious pro’s in there, but it keeps me motivated to put forth good effort.

I’ve noticed when I am not the stud of the gym and there is a guy or so stronger then me I get more motivated to become the top dog. And work harder to my goals. If I go to the local YMCA here in my little town I am the top stud and just feel complacent. Therefore gyms like that are good for us. Plus we have the opportunity to socialize with more likeminded people and can learn a lot from them. I prefer the gym at the highschool in the larger town near us( which I temporarily live in) about 4 guys there that are stronger and bigger then me. Definitely no pros though.
Couldn’t agree more! Didn’t know that high school’s were open to public for lifting, unless you have the hookup as staff or whatnot??
Some of the local junior colleges used to allow public usage, but not sure if they ever started back up after the last 2 years of shenanigans!

Around here in our little Midwest towns and cities most schools make money off the public for swimming using weight rooms etc. the bigger schools have some real kickass weight rooms. The one I use has like ten squat racks and a shit load of benches and like four sets of dumbbells from 5 pounds to 120 pounds. It’s like $40 per year for a membership.
It’s really only busy right after New Years when everyone comes in with their new fit bits and shiny clothes lol. Then by February it’s back to the serious guys only.

Damn, you’re lucky! $40/year for all of that state of the art equipment sounds awesome. Clearly the high schools in our state suck ass, because every damn high school kid in the state seems to find the gyms that I sign up at and follow me like gnats. I get it and used to be a high school kid, and there are worse things they could be doing, but the schools should hook them up with state of the art equipment. 
This new gym that wife and I joined is not cheap like Crunch, planet dad bod, etc., but it’s nice so far to see pros and serious folks there to do their business.

A pitiful attempt was made today at the above work out.
Did excercise #1 up to 140 and down once.
Did exercise #2, 3 sets of 12 (hack) and 20.
(leg press). No drop set
Started exercise #3 backwards with walking lunges while waiting for smith machine to free up. Did not attempt smith machine after 1st set of lunges. Did 3 sets of lunges and finished with static ball squat. Held for 30 seconds.
Will try this again next week but will change the weight I use to try and get more exercises in.

Definitely going to give this a try, but will have to do so when I can monopolize both the leg press and the hack squat machine simultaneously.
