And if you fart at the bottom, you can get even more reps in.

I think he thought the bar slipped out of my hands. I didn't say anything because it kinda caught me off guard/confused me.

Asked a random for a spot.

Hey mate! Can I get a spot?

Sure how many reps?

Just three.

Cool.

He hovered hands around the bar the whole time and after I did my intended 3 reps fairly easy he started saying "All you! Keep going".

Saw a guy doing this today, a legit exercise? He had one of the short barbells (25 lbs?) and held it at shoulder height perpendicular to his body with one hand (like you would a javelin) and was sort of split-jerking it up over his head.

seems reasonable...ive heard of lots of exercises that are normally done with db done with barbells...

i think john berardi wrote about one handed barbell curls and something similar to a one handed barbell shoulder press...also seen kendrick farris do a one handed barbell snatch...

I'd ISF them, how they reacted to that would determine my next action. i tolerate about zero nonsense from strangers. trying to make an example of me in front of other people would generally bring some sort of wrath on my part.

I'm a pussy, so I would probably say nothing to those guys, although a comment like that would piss me the **** off and I'd probably pull a George Costanza and dwell on it until I came up with a comeback when it's too late.

Um.

Sprinted off to take a leak between sets. Turn the corner to wash my hands and theres a an old bloke with a hoodie and beanie on, bent over drying his head hair with the hand dryer... Without pants on. What the ****. I'd have been less confused if he was straight up drying his balls.

Last week a 23-year-old or so girl loaded a bar in the squat rack with a ten on each side. She then set an aerobics-type pad next to the rack. She looked be to be fit but didn't appear to be a lifter at all, at probably just slightly over 100 lbs.

I didn't care much as I didn't need the rack, but I was expecting the worst. Well, she used the pad to do around 25 real push-ups (from the toes, not the knees). She then supersetted that with 15 - 20 or so overhead ATG squats, for at least five sets.

Saw a woman jogging on the treadmill EXACTLY like the way Molly Shannon did in the Seinfeld episode where she didn't swing her arms at all. Even better, she upped the pace and started picking up her knees as if she were going over mini hurdles. My client and I stopped at least 3 times to stare at her. Couldn't help it. Everyone else was too.

Pretty impressive lift today. Kid is a regular at my college gym, and he is not huge, but is shredded and he is an MMA fighter. Anyways, he did turkish get-ups for sets of 2 on each arm with 100lb dbs.
