Seems pretty easy to correlate that all Asians do that.

People on the stair steppers just look like the most miserable people in the world. All of them are drenched in sweat, they never look good, and it seems like for most of them, it's their exclusive gym exercise.

Stairmaster is by far the quickest sweat. On a treadmill I don't check the clock until @30 minutes whereas on stairs I'm counting to the end after two.

I can imagine a GGO involving a stair stepper and a person with a barbell on their back.

Some guy doing 1/4 rom squats is "teaching" some kid to do 1/4 rom squats with horrible form. I thought his back was going to snap. As they were talking about workouts the woman with them said "you don't want to work out for an hour because your body shuts down". It was doubly funny because it appeared that this woman's body had shut down years ago.

Hey sensei, definitely plenty of douches in the Delhi gyms. I'm an Indian Brit living here and I struggle to adjust to the levels of idiocy that exist on the whole. Where do u go? I'm at fitness first, Saket.

Saw a dude doing shrugs wearing gloves and holding massive 2 inch thick foam pads to grip the bar with. Tried to think of a non-douchy way to ask what he did for a living that he needs hands that soft for.

My gym opens at 5:30. I enter the weight room at 5:35 and the only other guy there is LDO in the cage I wanted to use. But he was at least doing full depth squats so I ain't even mad.

At my gym it's spring break, so all the university and juco kids that aren't on school sanctioned teams are kicked off campus for the week. Lots of them at the gym, but yeah can't really get mad. A couple years ago they were instrumental in reversing the no chalk policy so there's also that.

But yesterday when I just wanted a bench and 4 gay 20 year olds were supersetting between one of two benches, the only cage and the only platform for 20 minutes, I wanted to hurt someone.
