Gym tomorrow

Sooo yeah, gym tomorrow. What am i gonna do? I was thinking to do some things that i don't do at home. Thinking about doing the bulgarian split squat, squat, hip thrust etc. at the gym right now seems a bit too daunting, so i was thinking to do things that i can't do at home:

• Warm-up (20 minutes)
• Hip abductors 3x15
• Leg press 4x15
• Romanian Dumbbell Deadlift 3x12
• Cable kick backs 3x12
• Leg extension 4x15
• Stretch

I think this is a pretty decent routine for tomorrow, and i will only have to ask them to help me out with two machines (the last two ones). I was thinking to maybe add an extra day where i do arms/shoulders, but i will have to think about it. I might just look up some calisthenics i can do at home for my arms/shoulders (i knew some dudes in the past who grew their upper body pretty big just by working out at home, and since i don't wanna be that big it should be easy), but i might have to buy dip bars. I still have to look into my barbell situation, since i think that will already help a lot with getting stronger and more confident, and plus i will be able to do squats and deadlifts at home. I might also look into a 10/15kg dumbbell on a 2nd hand website. Today i did the ab routine that i did last week as well, but without the 30 minute stretching.

I also just figured out why it says on Google that between 9 and 11AM most people are at my gym, that's because they have group classes at that time. I want to slam my face into a brick wall right now. The same btw goes for 7 till 9PM. I wonder if there are way less people actually working out downstairs during those times (group lessons are upstairs). I will have to start figuring that out. I'm not one to wake up early, but if that means there are like 2 people at the gym, I'll gladly wake up as early as i need to.

I was first thinking about going to the gym tomorrow at 10.30AM, but i might just walk away from home at 10AM (that's when 2 classes just start). I also now wonder about the evenings. I'm sure most people will try and go after work, between 4 and 7-8PM. The gym closes at 10PM. I might start doing drive by's to see how crowded it actually is in the morning from 9 till 11 and in the evening from 8 till 10. I am actually REALLY curious right now, and also kind of hyped, and secretly hoping that the gym is way more empty than it is whenever i kept going, cause i thought those were the quietest times.

Also knowing how crowded and packed those group classes are, most people probably would want to avoid the gym, because there are limited parking spots, and probably also the dressing rooms are overcrowded. I am actually filled with hope now, but at the same time a little bit nervous, because i am scared that there will actually be more people, or more toxic people at the time that i now want to go. But we will see. I said in my previous post that i can't just go to the gym and try things out, but figuring out when most people are at the gym is something i can figure out, so i guess i will have to make due with that. 

Filled with a weird kind of hope.
