PART ONE-
28 Oct 2010
I recently started a part-time job, which is right on campus where I go to school. So I'm working 3 days a week and going to school 3 days a week. Since most of my time is absorbed on campus, I decided if I'm gonna get any kind of workout in anymore, it has to be in the new University Fitness Center. Sounds glamorous right? (That's strike one) So I head up to the free-weight floor and find a place in a corner where I can hopefully do a workout uniterrupted. All  I need for my workout is an Olympic bar with weights, and a pullup bar. I get everything ready to do this WOD (3 RNDS of 10x: 75lb thrusters / situps / burpees / 75lb hang cleans / pullups) and 4 seconds into the first exercise a man walks right up to me and asks me a question. (Strike two) Imagine this, I'm mid-thruster with headphones in and this guy meanders over to ask some fucking question about what the acronym on my shirt means. As if his forward momentum in life had abruptly been halted the instant he saw my shirt... (You have got to be kidding, there's a camera somewhere right? This is candid-camera material.) Either way, answer the question and continue the WOD. I finished the above wod in 12:41. Ehhh, I'm further out of shape than I was a week ago, damn.


PART TWO-
27 Oct 2010
I began the day with a set up pullups and 4 sets of deadlift for form.
Today's WOD is 21-15-9 of:
95 lb hang cleans / front squat / push press

As I finish this WOD, and feel like I just worked out inside a furnace, I cool down with some water and walking around. I look around at the members of this place as I walk to the water fountain and I realize the occupants are 80% dumbasses. See photo for a no-bullshit example. (Strike three)

These are all real stories from just two days of working out at this flashy new fitness center... I'm torn, and my reflex is to shy away from this place all together. However, the membership is free, it's on campus and as of right now, with my schedule and limited income - it's what I have to do to get my WOD in. I'm gonna keep on going until my circumstances change. In the mean time I'm gonna look at using this gym like one massive and on-going WOD. The key to succeed, is to endure.
