My left pec is bigger than my right pec. In my attempt to solve the problem I concentrated on my right side a bit more. Now my right bicep is bigger than my left bicep while still having a f%cked up left pec bigger than right pec. FML.

My right arm has always been bigger think most peoples are as its used more but the pec thing seems bit weird. Surely we should be working both pecs out the same.

I think we could bring this thread to twitter and end each tweet with #ggo

Would be a fun way to search for other H&F'rs

Thoughts?

All busy here in west la. And all the trainers seem to have clients. A lot of them seem really familiar with each other too. Not new people but ones trying to get back on wagon I assume.

Yeah looks like I just had good timing. Reg squatting in one, noob quarter squatting in one, noob curling in one.

Lots of fat women on ellipticals. Power rack and platform empty and a noticeable lack of regs.

An excuse to buy new shorts obviously.

Had a trainer having a nonstop running dialogue with one of his clients on all the different muscles her exercises were hitting while she was working out. Like naming 8 different muscle groups while she was trying to do stiff leg deadlifts. I'd imagine that would be distracting, esp when he says "that was number 8 I think, right? So you feeling that in your quads hams lower back and glutes yet?

Ya, because burning calories in the gym is a bad idea.

my gym was surprisingly ok tonight, if anything more hotties than usual

I guess one of the few upsides of going to these chain gyms that cater to bros and hos

Mine is the same, more of a social club to a lot of people, but a distinct lack of good looking ladies tonight :/

My gym was noticeably busier tonight but wasn't terrible thankfully, although I just did abs/cardio since it's an off day from PHAT.

There were however a lot more attractive young girls which is obviously nice. The test will come tomorrow and especially friday when I need to use one of the two squat racks.

Went during day, wasn't too crowded.

Was doing warmup sets on Bench, went to get another 35 lb plate, foreign guy tries to convince me I wasn't using the Bench when I got back (had my drink/towel/keys underneath it).

One overweight middle aged woman doing ATG Squats with just the bar. Assumed she was warming up (few people who've never Squatted get that low), but she never added weight. Just did a set of 5, then walked around forever, did another set of 5 with just the bar, walked around forever, repeated.

I'm going to the only gym in a small rural town during the holidays. That means lots of old people especially in the morning. Today I counted 4 groups of people paired off talking all M/F and 1 M/M/F in a gym with ~12 people in it. I was terrified that an orgy would break out.
