Hologram, obviously.

Dropping weights is fun as hell though.

kickboxing gyms are the nuts. No bros no annoying ****. Interestingly i very rarely see anyone squating or dl.. Squat racks always free which makes it even better.

Dropping weights is a lot of fun though. I don't even have bumpers currently and I still do it. Especially on the last rep of a front squat.

Lifting heavy weights makes you big and slow.

Yes, he did. But I swear he was pushing down rather than helping. :-)

The most satisfying is the big fling after a heavy set of back squats when you have cleans next.

General Peeing Observations:

Pissing at the bus terminal. Some dude totally leaned over the divider and looked at my ****.

Major GGO yesterday. Stick-thin bro, looked 120 lbs, probably not even 21, puts on 4 ****ing plates on the power rack, wears the belt, and his bros pump him up. I'm sitting there outside the power rack beside him resting in between press sets and I very visibly facepalm and shake my head, because doing that internally would have been a disgrace to the situation.

I'm thinking if he even unracks it successfully and stands on his two feet for five seconds, I'll shake his hand. He steps under the bar. Here we go, here we ****ing go. He pushes up against the bar, "AAARRRGGGHHH!!" The barbell doesn't even budge. I just lose it and start laughing.

It was almost this all over again.

EDIT: He was thinking of squatting.

Press? Like he tried to strict press 405? Not bad, Hardball, not bad at all.

Related: What do you guys do between sets? I just noticed the other day that I'm the only person that sits down on the calf machines between sets, I thought they were designed for that until some guy asked if he could sit there. I thought he was being weird.

Overheard a fantastic conversation where some lady was talking about how awesome her workouts are because her trainer is making her do leg squats. Part of me thinks it's awesome that she's doing squats. Another part of me wonders what kind of squats she was doing before the trainer convinced her to do leg squats.

He was trying to backsquat. Attempting to press that would have been instaLOL.

Sit, or go to the fountain when needed.

I stand between sets of upper body work and sit between sets of lower body work. I, like you, frequently sit on the calf raise machine between squat sets. In fact, whenever I video myself on an exercise, it's generally via my iPhone placed on the calf raise machine.

TE does it and he's def 2SWOLE, acceptability confirmed

I sit under the bar and look menacing so no one asks to work in.

LOL

I pull up my shirt sleeves and flex my arms while looking in the mirror.

:O

^Almost had it.

The top comment on that video is quite disturbing.

Obvious troll is obvious.

10:1 he's serious.

A+++


Sit in the couch that is conveniently provided at my gym.

Sounds like it gets gross pretty quickly with all the chalk, sweat and tears...

Minor GGO today:

Saw a hyooouge guy today at the gym, who put Fat Gripz on the bench and did 315x6. Looked at him more closely after watching his next set and realized he was a guy I played football with in high school. He got dropped from the team in our senior year because his grades weren't good enough (this is important later).

So he sees me snatch and C&J and is impressed by my jerks, and after reminiscing he asks the following:

Him "So do you take any supplements?"
Me "Yeah, creatine and fish oil. BCAAs if I'm training on an empty stomach."
Him "Creatine huh? How long?"
Me "More than 2 years now."
Him "Wow, and it still works for you? I have to switch mine up pretty often, to trick my body, ya know. Like right now I'm taking this pre-workout supplement called Hemo-Rage. It's really good stuff."
Me "That's cool, what's in it?"
Him "You know... it's pre-workout."
Me "I understand, but... I mean.. what's in it? What did you buy?"
Him "Like, pre-workout stuff. Protein... amino acids..."
Me "Uh-huh."
Him "I think it has NO. Nitric Oxide."
Me "Yeah, that's all good stuff I'm sure (stifling laughter)."

The vacant look in his eyes while explaining this was priceless. Not making the team because of grades TOTALLY made sense now.

BTW, this is Hemo-Rage. Just glance at the first page, gents. "BEYOND EXTREME! BEYOND HARDCORE!" "UNDERGROUND, BEYOND EXTREME!" "PRE-WORKOUT DETONATOR!" "THE PREFERRED SUPPLEMENT OF SUICIDE BOMBERS!"

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

are there prohormones in that? so many ingredients. suicide bomber ftw.
