Same person who told to look at the rain also told me that you will get wet. Thought no kidding that's what happens when one goes out side when it's raining

Are you sure you weren't talking to yourself Ratty ?

Sounds like how you explain things in your journal

when dangerously good looking girls do bent rows in front of you causing you to lose valuable blood, therefore inhibiting your pump.

When your getting psyched up for a lift and somebody starts talking to you. You're ready to do your lift but they keep talking . For like 3 minutes. You give the obvious signals that you want to now complete your lift ie getting set under the bar but they then come in closer with a fresh question and stand in a position that inhibits you from completing your lift. You then unset again and stand there being polite but secretly thinking that you wish they would just f*ck off. Finally they turn to walk away but by now youve lost the aggression to do the lift that you had. You finally get setup and unrack the bar and just as you do they turn and fire a quick question at you. That kind of annoys me.

Hahah bro i dont like having knee wraps on too long and on friday i did a super tight wrap for heavy set and chick comes up asking how much is on bar and telling me she can only squat in smith machine but her husband leg presses 400+

Im thinking ok this is so irrelevant to my interests lady but be polite cos shes nice. Had to unwrap and rewrap cos feet starting to tingle while shes talking.

Hate that

Gym Dolls as I refer to the girls that arrive to the gym looking pretty hair done and dry and leave in the same way, as they only sit in the machines and only do 2 reps within 20 mins of texting ( as busy looking for any prospect with muscles) while everyone else (me) is waiting for the good damn machines specially in peek hour. Once i got one and couldn't hold myself,.... :smackbottom: .i haven't see her again lol :haha:

Lol. does he ask for heaps of advice

[Bigken1985]

I was once in a commercial gym about 5 months ago. Was squatting low bar and the bars were so shit the knurling was shit as, i hit the rep, was standing there bout to try and rack it, then it slides down and falls off my back, dumped 180 from my shoulders onto the pins. Gym owner then puts up sign "no dropping weights" cause it think i fuked his bar lol

[maccaz]

Lol. does he ask for heaps of advice

people that ask for advise are all good long as they follow it, but im also not really qualified to be giving much advice except for the basics anyway.

 

more like says same dumb shit every day like "u training for a competition" and more than once hes said "bro theres not gonna be any 20s left" (theres heaps of 20s, could prob fill 3 bars with 20s before they run low lol)

[Bigken1985]

There was this big Maori dude in the gym i used to go to, was big tough guy on upper body, but then when he had to do legs he starts squatting in the smith machine, wraps knees and quarter squats
