It's all about the journey

Lol, that’s exactly what the guy I call ‘orgasm guy’ does. I have to turn my music way up to prevent me from going over there and hitting him.

Ah, it makes a lot more sense that it’s a program, I wasn’t really sure what was going on.

I spent this weekend hanging with my family, enjoy it!

Patch: Ahahahahahaha! I have a woman in the apartment above me that likes putting on a show once in a while. She picked a night where one of my friends was staying over for the night right after I got my wisdom tooth removed. It woke us up and we both laughed about it.

FK: It was an opportunity lost, for sure. Oh wells.

lula: Good to know every gym has at least one of those guys. I suggest we gang up and beat them.

Ew grunty gym guys, yeah not my favourite. I went to one gym where alot of that happened. Even though I would say my current gym has a lot harder men, lifting way more weight, there isn’t that much noise as the old poser gym I used to go to, with their ‘womens’ section.

Had some huge douchebaggery in the gym I went to today. The YMCA I went to actually separates the free weights from the machines and puts them in the basement! Crazy! The most hilarious part of my workout was watching this guy try to be all buff. First exercise he did was bench press. Okay. Benching 245. Okay. He starts benching and all I hear is “Ungh, ungh, UNgh, UNGh, UNGH!” I look over and every time the bar hits his chest (it wasn’t touching, it was hitting and rebounding), his feet fly in the air. Douchebag squeeze toy. Weighted pushups were the same. “Ungh, ungh, UNgh, UNGh, UNGH!” All I could think about was how this guy must think he’s The Shit in bed and he’s probably one of the worst ever. I almost burst out laughing at him. Almost.[/quote]

BAHAHAHAHA!
Can you imagine? He assumes starfish position… and contributes ungh ungh ungh to the action.

OMG! I wouldn’t be able to concentrate at all if a guy did that. At that point, his clothes would go over the balcony as punishment. Except his socks. So much more embarrassing that way :slight_smile:

Stupid ab wheel! It’s hard to bench when your abs are sore :stuck_out_tongue:

That rep PR puts you damn near that 115 for a 1RM. Keep reverse mathing that bad boy to know what you need to hit for reps next week.

Told you going to the gym today was good for you! Nice work :slight_smile:

Yeahh benching!

The first few times I did the ab wheel it was hard to sit up out of bed the next morning, but now it doesn’t make me sore at all. KINDA WISH IT DID THOUGH, I like that feeling (sorta).

I always really sucked at the ab wheel…don’t want to suck at it though.

Ab wheels are the pits. Do you do them starting from your knees or standing?

kilt: Yeah, I felt better after going. My traps are flipping killing me, though :stuck_out_tongue:

Spock: Thank goodness it didn’t hurt that bad. It does hurt to laugh :slight_smile:

MiM: Sucking at the ab wheel is no fun. My lower back starts to tire out from doing them, too.

cleanslater: Doing them from my knees is tough enough for me :slight_smile: I’d consider myself a rockstar if I could do them from my toes.

Ugh. Today was an off day. Stretching and lax ball awesomeness while watching curling :slight_smile: I’m going to bed later than I should just so I can watch all of it. I’m that addicted :stuck_out_tongue:

OH. MY. GOD. My ass and hamstrings are SORE. Sumos absolutely destroyed me. I’m dreading the rest of this weekend because I’m sure my body is going to punish me. I’ll be happy if I can walk tomorrow.

Nice workout. Like the deadlift mix a ton.

Well, thankfully I could walk this weekend. I have to say, I like what my workouts have been doing for my ass :slight_smile:

Yet again with DLs, my lower back started to tire out and my form started to go so I stopped at 8 reps. Had to switch my grip around a couple times. Weak, weak grip :stuck_out_tongue: Squats felt good and tight. The best part is my knee feels pretty good right now. I’m still going to ice it :slight_smile: Pre-hab is the best thing ever :slight_smile:

You have no idea how confused I got trying to read the dates of your workouts! derp derp

Ahahahaha! Year/Month/Day. Habit I picked up from how we date stuff at work :stuck_out_tongue:
