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.
