Ass. Holes. Look, I’ve been a gym pig for 46 years. I had to be a newbie once. Dropped my weight. Did stupid shit. Good people helped. That’s why I stuck around.

Assholes abound in the body shaming world of MY GYM, which is there for EVERYONE, without cause for attacking people for not sporting a six-pack. As if you have to be in shape before you go to a gym. Will you please.

Kindly, Fuck you. Just, fuck YOU, people who love to post shame videos. Let’s see where YOU are at 67, which is how I am, when your skin starts to sag, so do your tits and your penises. Then let’s see if you are still punching iron. This world isn’t for everyone, nor should it be. There are as many ways to get more fit as there are human beings. The gym isn’t the be all end all. For me it just keeps me strong so that I can walk away from a seriously bad accident (I’ve had plenty) on my adventure travel.

Fuck the bragging rights. My gym workouts have a purpose. Anyone who is brave enough to show up and learn is welcome where I’m handling the weights. And I am damned proud you’re gutsy enough to be there on Jan 1 or any other day.
