Tomu-san Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I workout at a Y in the States and i'm often impressed by the quality of both the girls and boys that are there. Certainly a much higher calibre of people to gawp* at that at my usual overly fancy London gym.* 2 different reasons for gawping of course.

Oramac Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 His fall from grace was due to him insinuating that I drink drink Natty light on a regular basis. I took severe umbrage to his comment lol I take umbrage to you insinuating that Natty Light is bad! I went to college in Warrensburg, Missouri. The #1 consumer of Nat Light in the whole damn country. Natty is the nectar of the gods!! (ok, not really, but I couldn't pass this up) =============================================================================================== Story time!! I'm in the gym yesterday and I see one of the regulars. Let's call him Fred. Now, Fred is about 6'0" and about 230 pounds. Fred is in the Good Squat Rack, and he's actually doing squats! "Ok, great!" Fred has 315 pounds on the bar! "Awesome!!" Fred's total ROM during his squats is about six inches, tops. "Not awesome, but I won't judge. Maybe he's got an injury." Fred puts 40 more pounds on the bar. "Cool!" Fred asks his girlfriend to come spot him. She's probably 5'5" and maybe 120 pounds, tops. "This seems like a bad idea, but maybe they know something I don't. No worries!" Fred unracks the bar and begins his 1/4 reps. Mid-rep, his girlfriend says, 'How do I spot you?'. Fred proceeds to try and teach her to spot him while he's squatting. "Ok, now I'm really concerned. I hope they stop these shenanigans" Thankfully, Fred got smart, racked the weight, took the extra 40 pounds off, and showed his girlfriend how to spot him. Whew! Ambulance averted! 6 "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
insanity Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 This wasn't in the gym, but was related to it. I was laying in bed, playing on my phone for a few minutes before bed and I hear something along the lines of "I wanna talk" come from the living room. "Oh god"... "But it's positive" My fiance has been doing a bodyweight exercise program for a few weeks now, and she seems to be enjoying it. I ended up getting shown an article in a womens magazine on exercise, She pointed to the ones she wants to do (DL, Squat, Row), and combined with what she does now, she can move to the SL 5x5 program. Which is kind of a goal I've wanted her to reach for though not pushing her towards it. I think I was able to convince her that women won't look like men if they lift heavy, and that there seems to be a different set of rules for men and women when it comes to lifting. It made me smile to think she might actually be into it. :-) 10 "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Cat in the rack Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 In the gym today, and there are people doing Olympic lifts I think. First things first, I get that heavy weight, when dropped, will make a very loud noise, and I get that there's often no way to prevent this. However, there is a very big difference between allowing the bar to drop to the floor, and throwing the weight down as hard as possible for no reason. Guy in the gym today, after every set, slams the bar with as much force as possible onto the ground. A couple of times it rolled off the platform and towards the platform I was doing heavy deadlifts on, making me, and the person doing squats on the rack by his platform, pretty nervous. I just decided to wait until he was done with his set before starting my own, wouldn't want a stray barbell hitting me in the back of the legs when I'm holding a figurative ton of weight.Something I saw that was more weird than anything else. Someone had grabbed the pull-up bar at the top of the cable machine, placed their legs on top of it, and was doing inverse rows. I get that inverse rows are a fine exercise, but that seems to me the most impractical place to do them. 2 Follow me on snapchat or instagram @ catintherackSquat: 115kgBench: 77.5kgDeadlift: 130kgTotal: 322.5kgWeight: 68kg Link to comment

Trewest Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 There are a few people at work who have English as a second, or even third language. I happened to over hear this conversation about working out, altough it wasn't actually IN the gym. Employee 1- I'm having such a hard time being motivated to keep going. I'm too old to handle the muscle soreness.Employee 2 (not native english)- If I have to kiss your ass to keep you going I willEmployee 1- Kick... if you have to kick my ass. Kissing my ass is an ENTIRELY different offer.Employee 2- Which one would keep you working out?Employee 1- Probably both.
