My receptor sites are clean like a virgin. I'm 15 lbs overweight but aside from my abs being non-existent, I was soooo pumped to begin the journey back to my former self. Then today, after not stopping or suspending my membership dues for the gym that I've returned to after EVERY major injury/surgery (The local Y where the 130 steal plated dumb-bells/ plates and machines haven't changed in the dungeon w practically no A/C - where the posers and make-shift tuff guys/ BB'ers never last, I've supported and NEVER cancelled my membership at since I've been 18 yo, even when I lived out of state because I always start over (12 operations and 30 years later - it's where I began and have always considered my home no matter what it's taken to recover. Everytime - I am humbled and have been blessed to have a constant in my life, my gym . . .till now. I was informed today that Mike DeWine, our great Governor of Ohio (sarcasm) has mandated wearing a mask and social distancing at penalty of fines and expulsion if not observed except while actually performing a set.

I will be, 2 weeks prior to my 13th come-back attempt in 30 yo'd be dropping my membership, two weeks before I'm able to start training again. WTF - I get that cases are on rise again but how about taking temps upon entry and some other form(s) of precautionary measures other than restricting my oxygen intake in between sets/let alone super-sets when I need my air to help get ready to train till failure to grow . . as I've always done?! How am I supposed to push 405 on the incline again anytime soon with a fucking mask on?! I know I'm not the only one that is faced with this dilemma so please feel free to chim in on this.
