She was a stripper, not a hillbilly

 

In my experience, the best are both.

If there's anything I learned working at The Dolphin, there's a market for everyone

 

The Dolphin! I've been there, my buddy lived 2 blocks away until a month or two ago. We used to stop there for a drink on the way to get a cab as a joke.

One time I was doing my squats and had my headphones on pretty much full blast. Some scrawny dude about my height (I'm 5'2") comes up to me and taps my shoulder. I take off my headphones to hear him ask, "Hey do you need a spot?"

Um.. no but I'll take that as a compliment?

Oh Oh. Another time I was doing squats, this dude was doing deadlifts on the other squat rack. He was pulling around 400. I remember feeling jealous. All was fine until this other big bro comes in and starts asking both me and this dude about how many sets we got left. I assume he didn't like our answers cuz instead of waiting, he decides to go and grab a bar from one of

the benches and proceeds to use the rack that first dude was still using. He loads up 45on each side and strains to do his half squats. The other dude was like wtf?

Then a friend of this bro comes and starts chatting with him all jovial and shit. He's just cranking out half squats..

I felt bad for the other dude. He got his rack stolen.

why- you don't really NEED a squat rack to DL.

 

I'll give up my rack for someone who wants to you know... actually squat.

 

you can dead lift anywhere.

 

granted- that was done ALL wrong- but still.  why hog a rack to do DL if you can do them anywhere?

[Timmy M]

well that's a bit of an extreme way to make muscle-ups easier...

[I-Jo]

hey those things don't make me who I am.  i'd give them up in a heart beat! They get in the way!

[Basement Cat]

Well, that got on the gutter-express fast...

[Basement Cat]

Hahaha, Timmy, that video is awesome. It sums up this whole thread!

[Guest Dirty Deads]

I laughed about the "Kai Green fucking a grapefruit just to try and make bank" I've seen a couple of his old stripper videos and they make me laugh too.

So I feel like they went to my gym and filmed this. saw a guy half repping 325 for squats...I take that back it wasn't even half squats there was maybe 3 inches worth of movement that was it.

I love going to a powerlifting gym. The conversations I overheard last night consisted of the following:  

 

"Come on mate, work for it, you can do this!"

and
"How many calories are you on a day?"

and 

"Are these your wrist wraps?"

It was lovely.

That's beautiful. I'd love to be a part of a gym like that.

Where'd she flip him off?

[I-Jo]

I think she more just let him have it for walking in front of her bar. mini flip out (for a soft spoken person that's probably a big flip out LOL)

[Timmy M]

off topic but that's a bit of an odd form (not bad but noticeably different), what with the little pop at the end and the near squat at the beginning, but hey, taint bad and its heavy, that dude needed a kick in the teeth

Really? I would have thought her hips could have been a little lower so she could flatten out her back a bit more. The pop at the end is her bringing her hips through and shoulders back so her lift isn't disallowed in powerlifting comps. I could be wrong though. I'll gladly hear someone more experienced critique the lift. 

[I-Jo]

Oh.  I saw it- at 35 seconds- she flips the bird- right after she pops her guard in (mouth guard? I guess)..

 

I didn't see anything mind blowing. - her back could have been flatter- but I know on my big lifts its far from dead spot on LOL.   That chit looks heavy and she picks up pretty cleanly for the most part.

 

I don't understand the rush under or to the bar- lots of squatters do it- and I don't get it. I'm much more slow to set up. it seems weird to do anything quickly to me. Shrug. to each their own. 

[Timmy M]

her first set up is maybe a bit high but then she sort of squats down and then brings the bar up and the pop just seemed a bit jerky to me is all, and of course, back rounding etc

Not overheard in the gym, but the nutrition store:

Woman to clerk, "I want protein powder, but not the male powder that gives you big muscles and all."

Maybe she heard the rumor about Muscle Milk years ago.

[The Tin Man]

Not as much "overheard" but "read" at the gym, but I love this place:

It just looks like wordy math.
