Lol I had the same experience at work. I bent down to show some team members the correct manual handling technique for picking up a box and rrrrrrrrrrrrip. The back of my pant blew out from the back waist band round to the zip !!! Fking embarrassing!!

I once went to the gym wearing my girlfriends sweatpants (which was, admittedly, kind of a mistake) and blew the ass out in a set of squats.
It happened on the first set of a 10x10 workout, and I finished the other 9 sets with my ass hanging out.

There used to be this trainer at a gym I went to who would “help” his female clients stretch their hamstring… he would literally mount them as if banging them (imagine someone using someone else’s traps instead of their own hands but at the calves in the pic below)
The males just got a towel funnily enough

Ever look up the founder of “hot” yoga? My brother told me that most chAins won’t even use his name anymore because of the huge amount of allegations against him.

Not Bikram Choudhury but the modern founder of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.

My confession: I hate the leg press partly because it seems I injure myself every time I go heavy but mostly because I have an irrational fear that when I put my legs in the well and pull myself up after a set the safeties are going to give way and amputate my lower legs at the shins.
Not this, but as horrific:
(another confession, I didn’t watch the vid but only posted it because of the description)

I’m currently drinking a La Croix, listening to a podcast, while barefoot working out.
That was awful!
Every time I see someone leg press, I immediately think about that video lol. So brutal.

It was that video of the brunette chick that happened to that did the rounds a while back. Anyone remember that?
Completely put me off leg pressing.

Sorry, working through 195 new posts in this thread, but this one spoke to me. I lift at an iron type gym in Hicksville, it’s the ultimate. Sure you get my point.
But, I am thinking about switching to LA Fitness - same price.
I also thought about going to a PL gym near me, I think it’s called GS, or Gag Me One Strength, but I hear it’s a hooey gym and the owner really doesn’t know his shit.
So, the question is, should I stay at the ultimate iron gym in Hicksville, or change to LA?
My daughter works out at LA and she likes it (Nassau County Section 8 Ninth Grade Shot Put Champion). I might like to lift with her, but she’s more about the tread mill these days (5’8" and about 180).
Stay iron at my ultimate gym, or go LA in Levittrash?

Yeah, I just don’t get this at all and that is why I am 6’1", 180, and 16% body fat.
I need to hire Stu, but I hear he only works with nattys.

Lol - while I’m can’t vouch for entire gym chains, I’ve been using the LA Fitness in Huntington the last few weeks and it’s been very good. Huge (supposedly larger than the other locations?), tons of duplicate equipment (3 full size cable crossover stations and the. 3 of the narrower, more “compact”(?) ones as well).
You sometimes have to hunt for specific DBs, but that seems to be a universal concern. All in all I’m digging it and getting my work done and out with little fanfare (except for a few of the sales guys and manager who know I used to compete and always tend to float over and say hi)
That “gag me” gym is probably a poor choice. Plenty of women from my wife’s school went there a couple of years ago (he seems to tArget women with his marketing…)with the goal of losing weight and they all eventually left with no results and a plethora of knee and back issues from being put on heavy low rep squat routines (which is exactly what … no intelligent trainer would use to get a older overweight women in better shape

I work with everyone, but there’s a “no secrets” clause, so anything a client “got a handful of and decided It throw it in to the mix” has to be brought to my attention (and trust me, this is due to some interesting former clients -lol)

I was picturing more of an S&M style of setup with ball gags and leather…
Something about the terms “gag me” just doesn’t scream fitness to me.
