I thought of gunsnhalen this morning (not while eating my pancakes, LOL).

At the gym, I had been benchpressing. I had my weights racked on the machine, my towel laid out on the bench, and my drink resting at the head of the bench. You'd have to be blind not to see the machine was in use. Between the second and third sets, I walked 10 feet to say hi to a friend.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this older dude taking one of the plates off my machine! He put it on the lat machine next to my bench press machine.

I walked over, took off the plate, and said, "I wasn't done yet". He said, "Well, you weren't here". I told him I was resting between sets.

This was a fat, out of shape dude in his late 50's or early 60's. I'm sure he just didn't understand that I wasn't done, and probably wanted to avoid actually lifting another plate off the floor so he took one of mine because it was easy to reach.

But dude - you do NOT take plates off a machine someone else is using!

OK, I didn't actually think of gunsnhalen when that happened, but I thought it was a funny story that he would enjoy.

I'm flattered either way

I have sort of had that happen before. Yesterday i was doing some strength training on incline and i started with just the bar... doing 50 reps... then add 10 pounds do 40 reps... add 10 pounds... do 30.. add 10 do 20... add 10 do 10.. and then go back down etc.

I had a guy who wanted to ''borrow'' one of my plates for a set. I didn't know what to say... so i said ok sure cause he said only one set. And he sat there texting for like 10 minutes before doing his set waisting valuable bench time for others

Also, last week when i was doing legs. I did the same on that i started with like... 200 ibs? did 50 reps then added 90... then did 45... then added 50.. and did 40. Eventually i got to 750ibs on the leg press. And i did 400 reps that day... in the middle of this workout a guy asked ''how many more sets you got'' i told him at least 10 more minutes bro


Gah i officially sound like a gym rat

As Judge Judy says, "Beauty fades, dumb is forever". Too many people are so stuck on landing a partner with a great body. They are usually sharing that great body with other people. And that great body is going to fade eventually and then what are you going to be stuck with? I understand we all want to be with someone who we are physically attracted to but, for me, the beauty on the inside is way more important than what I see on the outside. I went thru a lot of heartache learning that lesson.

Well, slap my ass and call me Sally cause I'm fitna ride to the Pancake House my damn self!
