The monkey bars in my old play ground were more like terror-dome. Inside of it is where the fights happened. I’ll see if I can find a pic[/quote]
we had one just like the one you described … and it was coincidentally the site of my first fight, or whatever kind of wild arm thrashing one would designate fighting when one is 7 or so[/quote]
Totally…
And, fuck todays’ “climbing walls.”
You had to be a good climber on that thing or else you’d end up a lump in the middle after you fell through
Thats simply glorious. I bet its not in the US though. Also I’m proud that I met all the OP’s guidelines. I kind of want to share this shit with some people in my gym who think they are personal trainers but cant even bench their own body weight for 1 rep…just for instance. Unfortunately I dont want to infect the forums with these wastes of human life.
I dont mean to come across as a bigot but if you cant even DL your own bodyweight and blame it on not having a belt and straps then just…GTFO!
Those were awesome. We used to play king of the mountain on those. You had to climb around and knock down who ever was king. Thats usually how the fights developed.
man, the other day this is what I observed at my gym.
Two skinny asian dudes benching 145-155, but the ROM was ridiculously shallow. I’m not even joking when I say the bar moved maybe 3 inches, and that’s being extremely generous. Here’s the kicker though, they were actually spotting each other!
On the very same day, another skinny dude was doing the traditional dude-bro workout of 50 different curl variations. He did barbell curls, rope curls, dumbbell curls, EZ bar curls and topped it all off with a set of preacher curls. It took him at least 60 minutes to do that, since he was there before I came and was still doing curls when I left.
And people look at me like I’m weird when I do deadlifts without my shoes on.
OOOOh…<150 pounds and can deadlift 185!! (Working on going higher also). Have to start working on pull ups. Trainer didn’t get me there so I have to figure this one out on my own.

I will never understand why some of you pay so much damn attention to what other people are doing.
While I notice others in the gym, I really only pay attention to them to extent that I won’t bump into them walking around or steal their equipment between exercises.
I could understand if you were seeing what a built guy was doing, but being able to rattle off multiple exercises a skinny dude was doing over the course of your entire time at the gym is just weird.

My gym’s pretty small, so I keep an eye out on what station/equipment is being used so I can change around my exercise order. They only have a single squat rack, two bench stations and a power rack.

Great post, in addition, learn how to fucking jump-start a car![/quote]
Yeah. I’m all about the tire changing thing too. Man or woman, no matter what physical make up. A pregnant woman might end up with a flat on a remote road and the only person that stops for her is some geek that doesn’t know how to change a tire. It would help if she knew how to walk him through.

Well shit, if we’re making up stuff everybody ought to be able to do-
Kill and clean a deer or other food animals.
Use a chainsaw.
Form, fill, and finish a concrete driveway.
Weld butt, groove, and lap joints on steel plate.
Stone work is a bonus.
Cause you never know when you will be stranded and need to do that kind of stuff.

Brotha trust me. I will fill this up with my list. maybe because I have so many nephews and help them and there friends out with lifting or going over stuff for football drills. But it would freak you out what they can and can’t do these days.
Check the oil in the car or any fluid in the car, unless they can just point at the nice light.
Pootie said get a tool box, but I had to change that to learn how to USE a tool anything.
Can go on but men, woman, kids have more information at there finger tips today, an that is a Great, Great thing. Just wish they could learn little thing to help make life easier or safer learn to Cook. Ok ok enough
OK, I can squat, do 6 pull-ups, DL double my bw, not to mention the host of other work and life skills I’ve acquired over time. I can set-up a computer network and I can use a drill too ( :
I can’t change a tire though. Last time I had a flat I called my ex husband and he fixed it for me because he’s nice like that. I’ve also got roadside assistance and a cell phone to help make up for my utter lack of interest in anything mechanical. I have to admit it doesn’t look too hard to change a tire though. Next time, I’ll watch who ever helps me and try to learn.

Hahahah naaaa trust me brotha. This thread will die out faster than Cross Colors clothing line. No one wants to here this shit and who wants to admit there newbs. Hahahahah[/quote]
Nah, I have no problem admitting I’m a noob. I do try hard to change that though.
I’ve never changed a tire. I have replaced motor mounts, fixed stuck camshaft adjusters, replaced the gauge clusters and some other stuff but I’ve yet to have to change a tire. If it comes up I’m sure I can handle it, but I will likely just pretend to be trying to do it and look all sad, pathetic and scared and hope someone stops and takes over (I’m quite sure that isn’t what I’ll really do)
I am satisfied with all the other stuff I can do so I don’t mind my deficiencies. I’ve yet to pump gas too. =o But then again I know how to weld so I think it makes up for it.
(I’m quite sure that isn’t what I’ll really do)
