Is the owner trying to do anything about it?

In my gym, a bunch of kids signed up, and next thing I know all the barbells are out of order (but they were at least racked). I put them all back in order. Next time I came in, they were all out of order again. I put them all back in order. This was repeated a few times until finally everybody else, new kids included, started putting them back where they go, 50 after 40 but before 60, lol. Now every time I go over to grab a barbell, it is right where I expect it to be.

The owner has large signs telling members to rerack their weights all over the mirrors so the kids can't miss it when taking mirror selfies.

owner of the gym has signs and so on, but doesn’t actually live in this city, will just come by when there are shows/ he is prepping some athletes and so forth. Don’t think he could do much even if he was constantly there though. There is also a group chat with all memebers where management constantly reminds people to put them back. It’s impossible just due to the culture in this country. Only small powerlifting gyms that strictly enforce putting plates back develop that culture have any luck with it. If there are even any recreational gym users it’s over lol
 
Makes sense.

Is bodybuilding different there? Getting food? Steroids? Is there a bodybuilding subculture like in the US or Europe?

Looks like a decently serious gym.

Do they have shows in China, or are you going to compete in another country?

Food is more annoying. I can’t get things like turkey, and after 2 years finally found asparagus. Steroids are legal and easy to come by. I have even talked to my doctor about taking tren after reviewing blood work and he even has suggested how long it should take to get liver values in line. There is a body building subculture. Where I live it is the biggest in the country, but they are less risk averse and can be aggressive with steroids even for first cycles. A lot less fake natties due to legality, and no stigma around hormone use. I can literally get hormones delivered to my home from pharmacies without a prescription with the app that is basically like Uber eats. Body builders here are usually very nice, helpful and just love body building so there is a nice sense of community. Everybody helps each other. I have nothing but good things to say about Chinese body builders that I have met.

The owner preps a lot of pros,and has some Olympia athletes in his stable if I recall correctly.
He’s also involved in the show circuit, and the guys there actually got me serious about giving competition a shot. Some of the guys will ask to help take check ins for me, or how many weeks out and we chat about different body building topics. There are a few pros training there, and the stair stepper has a sticker that says it has made 3 hahaha.

Yes they have shows here. I think through the country they have maybe 20 IFBB affiliated shows and several pro qualifiers including a China amateur Olympia. They have pro shows too, but no open pro shows. People here don’t get big enough and nobody wants to come here because it’s a pain for visa, food and culture. Also no 212. Pro shows are Only women’s, MP, Classic. Their MP is developing rapidly, and classic has some amazing amateurs but they tend to fizzle out in the pros due to structure, and perhaps holes in coaching at that level, except for some stand outs that make it to the O. One foreign athlete living here came 2nd or 3rd at men’s physique Dubai pro as well, so the standards here are improving.
A couple weeks ago I handled some athletes at a show for the first time. During their prep I gave some diet advice, and helped with posing. One did MP, so I could only help with back poses as I don’t know MP routine, and another classic competitor that is our friend did his coaching. For the posing he hired an MP pro at the gym to help (who would then be a judge at the competition). one doing classic I was giving posing instruction through his prep, during check ins and backstage until right before going on stage in a regional show and helping with his routine. They both got china amateur Olympia qualifications, it was their first time on stage.

2 year long asparagus hunt. A long winded endeavour.
But you subbed with other, good green stuff, obviously.
They like their veg in China, don't they?
Where do they import those precious asparagus from (assuming they don't grown them, now)?

Locally produced and sustainable.
Thumbs up from the eco warriors.

Tren prime delivery.
Top notch efficiency.
The West is falling behind, big time.

They seem to have a less individualistic society, reflected in the way they interact with one another.
I like the way their prize commonality and are proud of their culture, rather than the promotion of nihilism, cancel culture and politically correct dogma that has been destroying the West and will bring about its demise.
I suppose if the collectivist attitude somewhat remains, even when things become very competitive, it brings a more positive energy and environment.

Well done, that must have been a great and constructive experience for you.
You will be on stage, but you also have the view from behind the scenes and are able to test your knowledge in relation to others, that way.

The picture of the equipment disaster, above, which you told me about when I last wrote you is awful.
I hate it when things are left like that and it is so dangerous.
Nevermind them smoking in the gym.
To me, this is even worse than that.

You are looking better and better, BTW.
Hope you are well and wish you a good week.
 
Refeed today, carbs dropped by 20g per day after refeed.
Back at 94.7kg. First time seeing Christmas tree in rear relaxed.
Time to get sliced up

Today I am 94.00kg and perhaps leaner than I was on my last cut.

These are some comparison of last cut, vs now, front double bicep, which I omitted last time. I wanted to get similar lighting and body fat with end of cut.

87.8kg/193lbs December 2023 (1,3) vs 94.5kg/208lbs yesterday (September 2024) (pics 2,4)

Got veins going up on upper abs now, but hard to see due to hair. I think around 15lbs of muscle in a year is totally acceptable. If that is 1.5lbs per month basically, and I still will have perhaps a month and a half that I will bulk, I will hopefully have about 17lbs added.

Again I think this is basically normal/not great genetics sticking to plan without some bullshit.

Also for reference BEFORE is with pump, AFTER IS NO PUMP
