General Gym Observations - Page 909 - Health and Fitness Forum

Went to gym and had awkward "Hi" with nurse treadmill. I get home and am stuffing myself with pizza when I notice my water bottle is cloudy, I refilled it at the gym with one of the new water bottle faucets attached above the fountain.

It's a slurry of white and there is an unknown white power collecting at the bottom. Odorless and tasteless as far as I can detect. It passes through my coffee filter for sure.

WTF?

Creatine water fountain is legit tho.

Dude wearing Filipino national weightlifting shirt was in the gym today squatting heavy. I talked to him and he competes + his buddy's dad is the national powerlifting coach. I shamelessly asked him to critique my work set and got a pretty good / ok lang.

Another point that I wanted to make which is sort of related to me being so pissed off in the first place in that he was on the bench right next to the mirror and I was on the next one over and was there so I could use the mirror off to the side for form but he chose to use that one but anyway just wanted to ask the degree that you all use mirrors for form?

For me they are incredibly important for so many exercises I do.

If you wanted to use the mirror so bad, why didn't you use the bench that said villain is using? Seems like you failed in bench selection in the first place.

Using mirrors for form check is good for squats and DL, but for bench I much rather have a person critique the technique.

No, using mirrors for form check is horrible for squats and DL. I'm not sure if mirrors are good for anything, which is why I'm glad my gym has removed just about all of the mirrors except right by the dumb bells.

I didn't know your camera was from 1999.

How do you lift heavy without hurting your neck that way?

Who said he lifted heavy?

My gym is equipped with a sauna. I was sitting right next to the stove. There was a plastic cup next to me that someone left there. I assumed it was water, so I threw it on the stove.

I'm 99% sure it was pee. The stench was unbearable. I didn't leave.

I felt like if I would have left, the guy who did the prank would have won. I started telling myself pee is just a chemical composition that releases some nasty odors. No biggie. I won.

I never told the Nurse Treadmill story itt due to it's lackluster ending. She's a nightshift nurse who gets on the treadmill (reading her study notes of course) everyday @9:30pm before her job. During our first conversation, she volunteered the phrase "Wow you have great endurance"

Spoiler:

Maybe it ends with me getting a dose of ricin. I had drank 800mls of it before I noticed the water was a white slurry.

Find a new gym. Or get some lifting shoes (squats) and minimalistic shoes (DL).

Lol, slow.

Make them tell you to put them on. Tell them ok. Finish workout. Put shoes back on.

That's what I do. They stopped asking.

Dude at gym does deadlifts then goes over to do some interval conditioning work on the running machine. Hot blonde PT walks over and says "love to race you but I'm not allowed to while I'm at work" to which fool responds with some beta comment he thinks is witty but makes PT walk off. Idiot.

Something ridiculously weak along the lines of "I'm sure you'd beat me".

Why didn't he just say something simple like "what time do you finish?"? Not really hard is it
