Did he look like this?

my view while skwating today. sup?

u must be pretty good at teh polka to be up der, sick view

what gym in Brickell has a proper squat rack?? Is this the Icon?

I thought the new year resolutioners would be gone by now, but sheesh the gym is more crowded than ever. I think it's about 50/50 I'm gonna bonk someone not paying attention with a kettlebell swing before too long.

Yeah still crazy crowded, thought it'd be normal by now

Yes why are you stalking me?!?!?

haha, not stalking, just saw those lovely Brickell bay views and was confused how you'd be squatting. I have to go to the crossfit here to get access to free weights and bumpers, but at least I'm not relegated to squatting in a smith machine . . .

Word. I was thinking about joining CF over here. How is it?

Yesterday this bro who was working in with me on the leg press machine makes an effort to come all the way over to where I was helping spot my brother on the bench to tell me that I'm placing my feet on the machine wrong in order to hit my quads. Then he spouts something about the biomechanics of running, squatting and pressing with your feet, and stuff about the health of your knees. Keep in mind he does the typical bro leg pressing where you keep your feet close to each other, cave in your knees slightly, and have a restricted ROM, because... apparently, it hits the quads better. Or something.

I just look at him with the most blank face the whole time he was talking and the only word I said was, "OK." Did not want changes in facial expressions to suggest arguing/encouragement/discouragement.

I should be jelly, but nah.

Nice view. Extra motivation to go to the gym I guess.

I go to Vida by the Conrad. It's a mixed bag. Some days the group workouts aren't bad. Other days are not as good. Not enough strength work imo, but I understand where they're coming from--most of their clientele aren't going to pay a ton of money to go to a gym to do a 5x5 program with conditioning sprinkled in. So, it ends up being a conditioning program with strength work sprinkled in. Not necessarily ideal, but I don't know of another gym in the area with bumpers and a platform.

They have an open gym Sundays for a couple of hours where I can manage to get in the major lifts and some oly work. They also have oly class on Saturdays with a decent coach that helped me get my snatch up 30 lbs with a few small cues, so that's nice. It's expensive though.

Hey look, it's Aidan

Guy I'd never seen before came in, had a shaved head and a mustache that made him look like he should be tying a damsel to a train track somewhere. His workout consisted of: machine curls, preacher curls (1/2 ROM ofc), hammer curls, cable curls, and...the good girl/bad girl machine.

Lolled.

Although the first thing I thought when I saw that was "damn I want dem legs"

sik burn

I'm a terrible squatter so I'm super jelly.

[/] to much cycling

Like a lot of Internet stuff, its not real, its from an ad campaign for the bike.

yeah, most track riders are pretty muscular up top as well.

Would be pretty sweet, though you'd require some calf implants cause you just lost that genetic lottery.

Yeah. There's physically no way to develop legs that well and not have some sort of back/abs development follow from it.

Well according to Mustafa Ismail you can get very huge Guinness record biceps and strangely shaped huge triceps without having huge forearms or shoulders, so maybe it is real.

lol synthol legs! There's something nobody will ever see ever.

Its good to mix things up
