  Maybe it's $5 for being a doosh. BR seems like he would owe an extra $15 for that.

  I can't tell if this is serious or not. I learn something ridiculous about PF all the time and thus I wouldn't be shocked if this were true.

I'm not sure what's causing it, it doesn't hurt at all on Wednesday, but I'll wake up on Thursday morning and it's super sore. I'm going to try stretching tonight before the game to see if that helps.

  Stretching for sure, esp at your age. Can you describe your knee tightness more? Having delt wiht knee issues as well, I've done a ton of research and have probably had similar issues.
  
  Just saw this on Reddit the other day, and think it's a very good resource.

  Ridiculous? I love that place. It filled the void for leotard gazing (now "yoga pants") once Victory Lady went under.

  Thanks for the link, I'll read through it when I get a little more time.
  
  I'm not sure how to describe it any more than when I wake up on Thursday it is very uncomfortable to move/bend my knee. Once I start moving around on it, it starts to feel a little better, but when I stop moving it tightens up again. By Friday, it feels fine, absolutely no discomfort.

  Versus being a p#ssy who actually thinks PF is a 'good" gym to train at? LOL

  Thanks for proving my point.

  Hey, if your "thing" is hanging out with man bun wearing, Tootsie Roll/pizza eating gym "members" and want to call that a workout, have at it. PF trying to pass itself off as a legit gym is comical. But if training at Curves for Men is cool, enjoy.
• Automatik

  

  PF is a great gym if you know what you're doing. But here we go with BR acting all gym high and mighty! :laugh: Deja vu!
  
  If you're going to the gym to "hang out" you're doing it wrong.

  I won't begrudge anyone that's trying to improve their physical health, regardless of where they do it. PF isn't for me, but I won't judge anyone if it works for them.

  So far, the only thing comical here is you.

  I wouldn't call PF a "great" gym but they are definitely smart. Any place that hands out free pizza & Tootsie Rolls to keep their clients fat so they'll have to keep coming back is obviously doing something right.

  Right. Instead of promoting good health and applauding those who are on a good path, BR chooses to be a d-bag doosh-nozzle about gyms. I hope he's got good balance. He's gonna need it from high upon that pedestal he's peering down from.

  Exactly. Point is, if you know what you're doing you can get in shape...anywhere. Including your own living room.
• like_that

  

  PF is a good business model, but a crap gym.
  
  Also nice to see pathetic sleeper using multiple accounts. This is the same guy that goes out of his way to tell everyone else to find a life [emoji23].

  Oh, I agree with this completely. I have no real issue with PF as a gym other than the fact that they discriminate and offer crap food to their clientele for free and pass it off as "cheat meals."
• Automatik

  

  It's just a gimmick. If you're joining for those freebies, you're doomed before you even started.
  
  Disciminate? So dramatic! LOL
  
  Where's your beef with Lucille Roberts?

  You never called another gym or business crap? Are you just being defensive about it, because you worked out at PF?
• Automatik

  

  Oh yes, some locations are straight garbage. I just like giving BR shit because he's that get off my lawn old school gym guy. I grew up in a very old school gym, I get it.
  
  Also, the fact that PF triggers him makes me chuckle.

  Are you talking about me? I'm new to OC. If you're talking about BR...carry on.

  So not allowing "lunks" in their gym isn't discriminating? If they said no "blacks" or "Asians" people would be in an uproar. Yes, it's discrimination. Not that anyone with any significant lifting experience would want to train there but it's still limiting who they will allow to join their gym.
• Automatik

  

  If you don't fit their clientele, find another gym. Again, why aren't you crying about Lucille Roberts?
  
  You're a big powerlifting guy, we get it. Stick to the garage.
