Obitim Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 You and me. We'll kill the rum. Don't know about you but I hate whiskey. Don't really have any fun stories from the gym recently. Most of the people at my gym are really cool and know what they're doing. I haven't seen anyone curl in the squat rack more than once or twice. Ever. You should go ahead and do that...just so someone has a story! Link to comment

Most of the people at my gym are really cool and know what they're doing. I haven't seen anyone curl in the squat rack more than once or twice. Ever. I love whiskey. I love it possibly too much. It's a line item on my monthly budget. I buy a new bottle every other week... As for the gym, I haven't seen anything screwy at the gym in a long time.

KGB Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 There's a sweet elderly couple that are at the Y every time I go...they must get there when the doors open at 4:30. They are each 75 if they are a day, white hair and all. They aren't doing "hard" work, necessarily, but they are keeping themselves active, and doing it together. It's heartwarming. 3 My Puny Little Battlelog Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Nothing overheard at my gym lately, no plates clashing together, bars being put down, music pumping through the stereo, just the rustling of rats and the lonely cricket sound............I feel guilty every time I get in the bus, because there they are, my cold steel buddies, just waiting to be loved again.Next week guys I promise! 1 Wait!

Obitim Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Was in this morning, doing my warm up by the power rack...some dude asks if I'm using it and starts doing proper squats...I was so happy! He then used the leg press and also the assisted squat machine so I assume it was leg day for him... I get on the power rack and start squatting and there's a dude doing squats in the Smith Machine...looked uncomfortable! He then decided to stack a couple of plates and start doing calf raises on it too...At this point I did want to have a word but seeing as I know sod all I decided to leave well alone 3 Link to comment
Suited hippy Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I've been away from gyms for a while focusing on different kinds of training, but I moved to a new place that has a "gym" in the basement. I use the "" with reason. As a gym it is a little more than a home gym set up, but hey, there is a bench, a bar, and some plates. I wish there were a squat rack, but can't have everything. Whenever I do laundry, which is also in the basement I pop into the gym to do some weight training. I've been doing it about once a week for the last couple months and never seen anyone so I stopped wearing headphones and just use my phones speaker while there. Nearing the end of my workout, 3rd set of deadlifts going for a new PR (280lbs, I only lift once a week, so this was big for me). I've got the bar loaded, and put on some Duran Duran Hungry like the wolf to get the blood pumping... Struggle on the lift, make it up and let out a big ole success grunt as I hear the door open. Gently drop the bar, look over at this terrified looking girl, Duran Duran playing in the background "Huuuuungry like the woooooooooolf" She just backs out of the room.... Next time I'll put the headphones back in. 9 Currently lost in Fitness. Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Gold Suited Hippy.Managed to get to my shed last night, was doing split squats when one of the boys mates turn up, he walks into the shed thinking that's where the Lads are due to the loud music, looks at me with the bar across my back, middle of squat and says, " Looking Good Mum" yeah, sweaty, pulling my "fuck you" lift face, wearing my favourite Zep shirt with holes under the arms, with Blondie playing "Call Me" in the background. Yeah feeling fine, looking sexy! Bless him. 7 Wait! What............? Link to comment

StillWaters Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Just got my first one today: Gym Trainer: "I noticed you squatting with your toes pointed outward. They need to be pointed straight forward. Its better for your ankle mobility." Me: "Thanks for your concern, but I have watched instructional videos of Dave Tate, Mark Ripptoe, and other professional powerlifters, and they all do squats with toes pointed out at 30 degrees. I know what I'm doing is safe." Gym Trainer: *doesn't even comment on two of the most well known powerlifting trainers, and continues to insist on toes pointed forward* Me: *Politely dismisses him* Honestly, the only people I've seen do squats in that gym with toes pointing straight forward are the ones doing power curtsies. No thank you. 1 Link to comment
