Goal (Long):
Go to the gym FREQUENTLY, stay consistent with my routine. For a very long time I would do my workouts for..probably the most was a month straight and then something would come up(always something small) and i miss 1 gym day, then i get used to it and loose all progress. When that's met, of course gain muscle and loose some of that post-highschool fat
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 20 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
9%

Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
I don't have equipment here I can use really, I have a bench with some add ons to it but it keeps being used as a place for my family to store their shit on, even after I take everything off! I also only have 90lb set with it, I still use the barbell and dumbbells but mostly for working on Form & light excercise. I like going because theres a ton of people with similar goals as myself.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Strained my left shoulder(very outter pec/shoulder) while using a shitty old piece of equipment at the gym. It was a chest press machine and it just didn't feel right at all but I was new to the place and didn't see the newer, better & safer range of motion one. It was fine, just really sore until I went to work and started lifting. Inflammation occured & I left early. Recently strained both shoulders, It was either my idiot friend getting me to do a few excercises at night after I worked out in the morning that day or I did too many wide grip over hand pullups and it just over trained my shoulders. Same thing, went to work and it started hurting, I couldn't lift my arms very high and I wasted $25 on a 5K I signed up for & couldn't runStrained my left shoulder(very outter pec/shoulder) while using a shitty old piece of equipment at the gym.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Yeah, I liked it. A little more "easy listening" compared to Focus, but still pretty good. I wonder if Atheist will come out with a new CD anytime soon.
