The gym is pretty small and there are a lot of people leaving almost no room to maneuver, but I still manage to get a good workout  I’ve lost about two inches on my waist so far, but that could be a mixture of a cleaner diet, walking 8 miles a day around base, and the workouts I’ve been doing.  It’s not always easy to find time to go to the gym and it’s impossible to go there when there’s not peak hours.  As far as I’ve noticed, it’s packed 24-7.  Evenings aren’t good, midnight it’s still packed (people hope if they go at midnight no one will be there, too bad everyone else is thinking the same!)

 Still I’m getting a good set of workouts, following some exercises in musclemag’s new book, we’ll see how their plan goes, wish me luck.

Well I’ve been here for several weeks now and while there seems to be heavy construction it doesnt look like the status of the gym is going to change at all.  It’s pretty sad overall, with only a small rack of free weights and a few benches.  It’s definitely better than nothing, but because of its limitations I hadn’t stepped into the gym until a few days ago.  I actually have a gym partner who is almost equal with me in strength, so finally someone who can spot me and we can encourage each other.

I havent’ been able to take any supplements since I’ve been out here tho and I notice the difference a lot.  My upper body is extremely sore, more so than when I can take even just a protein supplement.  I stretch throughout the day and drink a lot of water, high protein meals is about the best I can do.  

I ordered from bodybuilding.com some supplements they should be here any day, that will makes things feel a lot better and hopefully I can get a lot more out of the effort I put into the gym.  Definitely went to failure the past couple of days.
