Well never say die! I managed to grab a freebie out of Powerhouse Gym after calling them about their membership prices. They have a pretty good deal going, with 150 up front then 10 dollars a month after that. But.. Always a but... the gym is pretty much trash. Two flat benches in the house, in opposite parts of the room (which is pretty spacious actually). They had a bunch of cosmos fitness junk, a few old treadmills not worth the spit on the floor. Haha, ok, not that bad. And the place was incredibly steamy, hopefully they got a bit of air in the height of summer. I know you burn more calories, but damn, you gotta be able to breathe a bit between sets.

Dumbbells are crappy and go to 120. The plates are rusted. They have a giant punching bag in the corner. The bathrooms and locker room are upstairs, not exactly a plus. As cheesy as The Rush is and sounds, I have to admit, it's a way way better gym, and only costs a bit more. But with limited funds I might do Powerhouse for a year or so. I can do most everything I need to do.

the workout went as follows:

Bench: 225x10, 275x10, 315x3, 315x4 (they do have flat plates to place on ground for better leg drive, unlike The Rush)...

Lat Pulldowns: 2 sets

Db obliques: 2 sets

Abs on machine: 2 sets

Chin machine: 3 sets

Treadmill: 10 minutes
