Every time I see someone shout something down as bro-science, I want to try it just a little more. Seems like everything that used to be knowledge that was handed down is now called bro-science.

Confession - I’ve come to the point in my life that I find it very difficult to give a fuck.

Yeah, since I’ve turned 40 I’ve felt exactly the same
I’ve also learned to handle the awkward things in life while harnessing the power of silence. A brutal combo when used in certain situations.

You’re precocious - it took me until 55 to get there.
Here’s the new outlook. I’m going to change the F-Bomb to just F to avoid offending anyone.
You have a limited amount of F’s to give, so use them wisely. I give a F about my family and my friends. But, if you’re not a good friend, you don’t earn a F.
You slam on your brakes for no reason, IDGAF. You don’t like me, unless you’re family, IDGAF.
Save the F’s for stuff that is important. Don’t waste them on the person in line making you wait while she searches for coupons.
New World Order - DGAF, lol.

I had a buddy at work that had a paper bag labeled “fucks” on it. Whenever someone came by wanting something or having some sort of issue, he would reach into his desk, take the bag out, hold it upside down and shake it.
He would then look sadly at person and say “I am very sorry, but it looks like I gave all of mine away already. I have no more to give. I have run all out. You may need to check back tomorrow”
He was a good friend.

Has anyone ever been tempted to throw their gym bag across a crowded gym during peak hours in order to ‘claim’ a piece of equipment, say a bench or something like that?
I’m just wondering how that went over.

One of my pet peeves is people leaving stuff on equipment. My mosted hated one is the person who uses, say, a bench press and uses the bench next to them to keep their precious bag off the floor.
Machine as a coat rack or bottle holder are also good ones
A couple of old guys at my gym use the reverse hyper to set up their “base camp” for the day. No less then 2 gyms bags replete with shaker bottles, wraps, gloves, shoes, and various electronics gets set up and each time I politely ask them to move their stuff and each time they do. But Jesus Christ, find somewhere else to dump your stuff.

As an owner of a reverse hyper, I can attest to the fact that this is its primary function.

Which one did you choose? I’ve been looking to purchase one but can’t tell which features make some better than others.
I got the Rogue one (RH-2), as at the time it was one of the few you could buy and was half the cost of what Westside was selling. Today, I’d get the Titan one, because I’m a cheap bastard and it’s sub $500 with free shipping. However, on both, you’re going to need to weigh down the front feet if you use more than 300lbs, because it’ll start bucking like a mechanical bull. Nothing too bad: just put some heavy DBs on it, but if you have it tucked in a corner against a wall, you gotta do a little yoga to get under it to set up the DBs.

I tried the Glute Ham Raise machine for the first time today.
Yeah yeah I’ve already said I’m a gym bro like 999 times.

First time I tried it, I was convinced my hamstring was going to tear off the bone (long femurs, heavish upper body).
But once you GHR you never go back…

No need for that piece of equipment. I figure, if I want my glutes razed, I’ll just go to prison.

LOL.
Seriously, I don’t get how it works the glutes. There’s no hip extension involved. You can flex your glutes. But I doubt they’re doing any work.
@strongmangoals Do you actually feel your glutes working? I only feel my hamstrings doing work.

Just the hamstrings for me.

I mostly feel them in the hams, too. However, I add a waist bend at the bottom, turning them into a back extension hamstring raise combo, which allows me to flex the glutes more.

Hamstrings for me. Annihilates the hell out of them.
