3/21/22 - Fortitude T2D1W4
Good session. Decided to put Hack Squats in for Loading Quads; ironically my regular back squat is MUCH stronger than my hack squat lol.
Side note: i got a chance to LOL at a teachable moment today…
-Gym noob has a half dozen 45lb plates strewn around his bench and the bar is empty so i walk up and grab 2 of them.
-Noob says “I need those”
-I respond “all of them?” (I noticed his bar was empty)
-Noob “yeah man, its chest day”
-Me, in all my sarcastic wisdom, “… oh my bad bro, I’ll wait until you’re done”
-Bro Noob loads up 315 without a warmup (while I’m waiting/watching)
-Noob unracks bar and is immediately pinned by his own barbell. Noob and his spotter struggle to re-rack the bar (the bar probably weighed more than both of them combined)
-Noob sits up from bench and I ask “you all done with two of those 45s?”
-Noob nods ‘yes’ in obvious disappointed embarrassment.
I’ll admit i could tell he was not capable of benching 3 plates given his apparent lack of visible muscle.
No noobs were severely injured during the making of this film. The same cannot be said of respective noobs’ ego, however.
