Something like that!  

You look GREAT! Gotta love a battle rope challenge 😅 

awesome man. I agree u look great!! 

I don't know what state you are in but I sure would rather be there now. I went to the gym today - here everyone has to wear a mask from the time you walk in until you leave, and they only let so many in at one time. The Governor must really be against fitness. Anyway, when I walked in, there was only one other person in the place working out. The first thing the manager says was that I was wearing the wrong type of mask. The state requires “this type” and he happened to have one on hand he gave me. These rules in NY State that they put in place to allow gyms to open again are so restrictive it really destroys my enthusiasm.  

I'm in illinois. They require masks here but don't enforce too hard. Most wear them under their noses but it's a huge pita for me. Hot and when I try to lift heavier I get a little light headed sometimes. Especially deadlifts and leg presses.  

And that lady behind u with the phone looks just like my gym. Shut up and lift.  

Jess challenged me to 60 seconds. I said “that’s a long time” I made it most of the time and she did well too. Feeling a little worn out tonight!  

So about our gym... They are operating as a church because churches have been able to have social gatherings. The no masks are a no no everywhere, except our gym. This had been true throughout the pandemic except for when the gym was shut down directly by the governor. We came back when it reopened and they didn’t follow any of the rules. When they shut down gyms again, the gym stayed open where everyone could come in through the back door. We have gone throughout and thankfully no outbreaks. I don’t feel great about it and I wore a mask for a while. I got vaccinated a few weeks ago, so I think I’m done with masks at the gym. Long story!  

Wow what a fascinating story. I love hearing about the ways that people have pivoted to make life work during these times. Here in California it feels like it will be a lifetime before we go unmasked anywhere! Oh and 60sec battle ropes is savage!! 

I was just in San Diego and you’re doing better there in general than we are here in Washington. Restaurants may close again here soon!  

When we went to the pf in Wisconsin for Easter, I called ahead to inquire about their mask rules. The girl said they are mandated unless someone can't wear them due to health reasons and if I see a lot of people without one on, it's because hipaa keeps them unable to ask someone about his health. 😉 I think it was her way of saying that no one there have a shit. We were both vaccinated by that time and many were without masks. 

I am so ready for the mandates to be gone here. They are requiring wearing one while working out at a gym. It would literally send me to the ER to try that.  

I thought of wearing a mask as a cardio builder. I know it wasn’t, but all about mindset 😂
