Tried finding an old school rough as toast gym around you?
You’ll be amazed, genuinely mind warping, how supportive actual bodybuilders are to be around.
Stay away from chain gyms and they’re great places. I trained on the watt bike at one in Budapest for what I planned to be a month until our apartment was semi finished that we could set up an exercise room 🏌️♂️ for turbo and my wife’s pilates. Stayed about 10 I enjoyed the place so much.
Everyone was as friendly, asked about workouts I was doing, really interested in the training plan I was following as “I hate cardio and that looks fun and easy to follow for cutting”
Were they on steroids? Certainly yes, was it a joyous place? also certainly. Not saying you’ll definitely get that but you’ll be surprised hopefully. Uglier the gym the better.

hit bang on 18 stone today (114.3kg) next stop 17 stone (108kg)
currently looking at getting a half power rack to go in our summerhouse with some weights to add in some strength work with stronglifts 5x5. just can't handle the anxiety of dealing with gym bros sharing machines and weights at a public gym but reckon i can adhd hyperfocus my way to success at home and i quite enjoyed what little lifting i did last time i tried it.
