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

Power shrugs:
135x5x3
Squats:

Stretched my quads after each set. Seems to help keep my knees happier with me. My left knee is still a little achy but it’s not hurt. Just tired.
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).
kilt: Yeah, I felt better after going. My traps are flipping killing me, though
Spock: Thank goodness it didn’t hurt that bad. It does hurt to laugh
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 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 I’m going to bed later than I should just so I can watch all of it. I’m that addicted

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 Squats felt good and tight. The best part is my knee feels pretty good right now. I’m still going to ice it Pre-hab is the best thing ever
