Philippines Vacation I: The Gym

[myosin]

I hope you guys don't mind, I decided to dedicate a few separate threads to the vacation only b/c there are so many pictures and address so many other area's.... the gym.... family fun.... life. I would put several pics on one post, but until you become member of the month, anytime you put in two or more pics, they become links instead of imbedded pics.

So, here we go- the gym: Healthy Heart Gym, about a 20 minute drive and a 40-60 minute walk depending the pace (we always walked home so I could take "life" pictures). Temp was always in the 80's in extreme humidity, was a BEAR working out man. WAY old school, no olympic bars.

Bare basics...

Homemade benches and spin-lock dumb bells.

Multi-purpose Squat rack?

I didn't find this contraption until my next leg workout.

Decline bench...

Everytime I laid back on this I was afraid I was going to castrate myself d/t the bar sticking up in the middle... I spent more energy trying to get the weights in position.

A few "artsy" photo's...

Lighting to a photographer is like insulin to a bodybuilder... too much or too little is bad, you want just the right amount, these turned just ok.
