and what a way for it to happen! Well, at my Gym all the people doing light weights work out where all the heavy DB’s are. So I’m walking my 100’s to the other end where a flat bench is to to DB press. This bitch is walking right towards me, she makes eye contact, smiles but doesn’t friggin step aside. I had to side step, and in the process almost tripped over a 5lb DB that someone had left on the floor. I didn’t fall, but had to correct, with 100 lb DB’s in each arm. I felt it in my back right away. It hrt through the rest of teh workout, all evening, and all night. A little better this morning. I’m still pissed off about it though.
Sorry about that Z-man, I’ll try to keep my weights out of your way. I was just too exhausted from my 5x5 (x5 lbs) that I forgot to put it away…
Seriously, I hope you heal up fast. More than once I’ve had to tell people to “MOVE” after politely asking them out of the way and being ignored. Welcome to Chez Golds!
Z, I personaly witnessed Malcolm deadlifting a 5 pound dumbell last night at Gold’s. He would have used the one pound, but I was using it to do kickbacks.
Actually, I find it easier to carry two at a time. We anchor our bands for speed benches with 120s. It would be like driving an autocross course rolling those bastards (lots of equipment between DBs and benches). I’d say it’s about 40ft total walking distance. I see it as GPP.
goldberg nailed it, i roll them sumbitches! when i do dips i have to get the weight from clear across the gym. i throw that piece on the ground and kick it all the way across the gym. ill be damned if im gonna carry a 120 d-bell across the gym.
