I find that I have more distractions and have to wait to do certain exercises with to many new people in the gym. I do all free weight and with the crowds, there always seems to be someone that wants to use the oly bar in the squat rack or at the dl spot to do curls or upright rows.

Each new year I end up working out late at night just to miss the crowds, but it screws up my sleep patterns. Golds gym near me closes at midnight and I find only a handful of people there at 10pm.

I have not had to mess with it this year....yet. I caught an ass kicking flu that I am just starting to get over with. So far, eight 130-count boxes of Kleenex with this flu but now its moved to my chest. Once I can go an hour without hacking phlem, I'll be back to the iron.
