Muscle Asylum Gym

06/01/2026

We trained in the Gym last night and honestly it finally feel like ‘The Asylum’ 💯💯🔥🔥

Tunes absolutely booming(real tunes, music can make or break a proper workout), machines are all placed in a position I’m happy with, and it’s already oozing atmosphere again even whilst empty…. Nailed it 👌

If you want to jump in and train for FREE this week, I’ll be in tomorrow from 2-6pm, same Friday and I’ll be in 12-4pm Sat and Sun as I’ve opened my other shop as of yesterday so I’ll be in the building.

I can’t actually fully open the Gym yet until I decide where and how I’m fitting the entry system as obviously I have a bunch of businesses under 1 roof…. The Gym was only being added as an Extra for myself, but I reckon it’s gonna be full of the right people just shortly.

Failure Is Not An Option!!

Other Gyms:
“Leave your ego at the door”
“Don’t slam your weights”
“No chalk”
“No shouting”……

Shut the F*ck up….. it’s a Gym, not a library.

If it ain’t shaking the floor, you better lift some more 💯💯

“Everything you want is just outside of your comfort zone”….. so learn to get comfortable being un-fcukin-comfortable 😈🔥🔥

A few machines shuffled around a bit again as I just wasn’t ‘feeling it’ the way it was sitting.

More mirrors going up this week, more rubber mats going down, another set of cables going in, a pec deck, pullover and primal chest press should be in before the end of the week…..

Then I have 1 more wall to build and fit the fingerprint entry system and we are nearly there as far as the actual Gym goes and maybe 1 or 2 shifts to finish the supplement shop and chill area 👌😎

The feeling of having my own Gym back is unreal but f*ck me, I’m way off track…. training legs with someone whos still in the depths and prime of his bodybuilding whilst I literally haven’t trained or eaten a real meal in how long kinda gave me a wake up call 💯💯

First time doing squats in about 4-5 years but it felt comfy 👌

By the time we hit 20 rep sets on the leg press I had to turn the heating off as I started to feel that dry mouth sick feeling 🤢🤢

Back to what I always say though…. F*ck all your daft fancy words, chasing all this optimal bullsh*t counting every breathe you take, and doing all the fairy exercises in slow motion….. training should be Adrenaline filled, Dopamine flooding, Hard, Heavy and Fcukin Enjoyable….. not depressing like a scene from Titanic.

Hopefully I can get my head back in the game with the right environment again….. missed this sh*t 💯💯

Floor standing Wharfedale speakers and amp wired up….. half of Broxburn can hear the Gym now 🤘😎

The Gym……

It was good to see a bunch of you last night and get your opinions on the place so I can make my mind up with what I’m doing(even felt tiny watching some of you train so I need to get my finger out 🤦‍♂️)

Saturday I’ll be there 12-4pm for anybody else that wants to pop in and see the place and/OR get a session in(I’ll be training…. And yes I look like a swimmer, but it’s nearly January and we all have to start somewhere 😉).

Loud Heavy metal music, cast iron weights rattling, chalk in the air, and zero f*ckin rules…. This ain’t a ‘Gym for everyone’ but if you want atmosphere and the kind of Gym I think of when you say ‘Bodybuilding’, then this is it 💯💯

See you all Saturday.

The GYM……

If you want to pop by wether just to get a look n a blether, or to chuck some chalk and iron around, I’ll be at the Gym from 7pm tonight.

I’ve totally lost all interest in the place because of the hassle I’ve had with the building so you can come give me your opinion….. if I even just get 60 members before the end of January to cover the building cost I’ll let it just run itself.

READ THE PARKING SIGNS IF YOU COME INTO HOME BARGAINS…… LIDL IS FINE TO PARK AND THEN WALK OVER. IF YOU JOIN, ILL SHOW YOU THE VIP PARKING AT THE REAR.

Old Skool, Raw, half finished, but the best Gyms always are….. I’ve got Primal equipment coming, the Old Skool antique Lat Pullover coming(fcukin always wanted one of these), smith machine, more cables etc etc and if I get the demand I’ll just keep adding as I’ve got the space for it.

Anyways, See you all later 👌😎

When I tried to get my finger out and thought I’d join the UK’s best award winning Bodybuilding Gym in Livingston 💪

The fact I couldn’t use chalk, lift heavy weight, do deadlifts, sit my can of juice in a certain position, make any noise, let the weights touch the floor(including the bumper plates 🤔🤔) and the list goes on, without the non-bodybuilder looking staff chasing you about the Gym to lecture you…… I decided it wasn’t for me 😂, plus they cancelled my membership, for being a bodybuilder doing bodybuilding stuff 🤷‍♂️

Was actually starting to look no bad aswell 👌

Lesson learned…. The best Bodybuilding Gym in the UK might not be right for all Bodybuilders…. Yes it’s kinda confusing but I mean, they have the Award 🤷‍♂️😂

Anyways….. F**K IT. I’m totally scunnered with the leaks in my Gym and put off opening it, but if you want to get a session in fire through Wednesday night, I’ll get the tunes on and chuck some chalk about the place and if your serious about Bodybuilding then a leak or 2 makes no odds.

Drop me a DM if your coming through.

Roof issues aside. The rest is looking 🔥🔥

Taking 2 ECA stack at 10pm to give me energy to move stuff about my Gym wasn’t the best idea…… I’m still awake 👀👀…. They defo never underdosed the old stuff from back in the day anyway 🤦‍♂️😂

Gym opening is delayed due to the state of the f*ckin roof…. But there’s another 2 machines been purchased, so believe me, I’m trying to get it sorted with the landlord asap 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
