morethanjustamom Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 in a related note, i did fall one time going up the steps there...kinda embarassing. maybe i should have taken the elevator that day.Why is it you always fall going UP the stairs instead of down? I can't tell you how many times I've injured my shins going up stairs, and my daughter fell at last week's track meet going up a set of bleachers, and sustained a nasty bruise/burn mark on her arm from it.

CalvinHobbes Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Re: the elevator At my gym I've seen people in wheelchairs use it to get to the machines and what not. One of my good friends, who would be an amazing NF rebel, was in a car accident two years ago and had both legs amputated after an infection. He participates in the Boston Marathon each year in the wheelchair race, and is so badass I can't explain it. I second what Hammlin said--I like having the elevators because he wouldn't get there otherwise 2 Link to comment
Corbab Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I overheard a trainer talking about her client who showed up for his session one week with calf implants. Apparently he felt he wasn't progressing quickly enough and grew impatient.You can get implants there? WTF..?

GreenEyesBright Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Oh you can get implants anywhere not. Pecs, butt, biceps, legs etc. You name it, it can be done. Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk Wake Your Dreams... Link to comment

Mb82 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think the funniest thing I have seen in the gym is the skinny little freshmen boys who come in put the assisted pull up machine to 100lbs then proceed to crank out like 20 pull-ups. Umm dude everyone can see the machine is lifting most of your bodyweight. Generally at the gym I have my earbuds in with my music cranked so I can't hear anyone and be in my own little world.

Grendelsfork Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I go to a 24 hour "fatness" in Yorba Linda, CA. Think Real Housewives of Orange County and you wont be far off. Way too many implants and meatheads to go around so I usually sneak in before dawn while they are still sleeping off their cocktail parties. Enough said, this morning I saw two guys spotting each other with barbell bicep curls. One straining, the other coaching ( I meant screaming ) at the other to push harder. The guy curling has his back arched in something I havent seen except on the cover box of the movie "the Last Excorcism". It was so vile, it was hilarious. And when he got done with his 6 reps ( or giving birth, I couldt tell) they high fived each other and both flexed and then one said 'hurts good'. I then noticed they were wearing those shorts that go down past the knee...they both had the skinniest frickin calves. I've seen little kids with thicker calves . HAHAHAHA. Poor meathaeds 1 Link to comment
andygates Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 ...'course, if they ain't been squattin' (as the poem says) they'll have skinny legs and then grumble that their calves don't grow and lo! the market for the calf implant is born. 2 Link to comment
Luffy Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 There was a "gentleman" at my gym I called The Screamer. He would load up a barbell with 8 45# plates to knock out like 2 reps. With each rep he would let out a blood curdling scream as loud as he could! Nearly gave me a heart attack every time! Also when he was done he NEVER re-racked his weight plates. Rude! This went on for a while until the day someone tried unloading his bar from only one side. The unbalanced bar shot up and flipped over like a spring trap almost crushing someone. After that day I never saw him at the gym again. “The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.†― Thucydides Link to comment

Corbab Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Heh, me too. That's why I always remove one plate from each side at a time. Even if it is a dinky lil' 2.5 pounder. One of my coaches works at a swanky gym where most of the people are completely helpless on their own. Once, he saw someone unload one side of a bar, causing it to flip over a few times and embed itself in a wall. The squat rack in my weight room is right next to a brick wall, so I'm always afraid it'll embed itself in my head if I'm not careful.
