Afghanistan
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.

first of all, safe safe man.
2ndly, maybe you can use those free weights or various things around to do body weight exercises or something like that? I cant imagine the situation that you’re in, but you sound determined to do it no matter what!
Glad you found a workout battle buddy, and hope that the supps get there soon!
