I just don’t get the humor in farts. There are certain situations where a fart could be funny but not farts in general. I still have friends that laugh whenever someone farts. If someone could clue me in to the genius of this humor then I would greatly appreciate it.
Do they really know better, or did they just read it in a Dave Tate article?
I just started lifting at home this week, so she’s only done it once. Hopefully she’s smart enough to not do it again.

That was awesome. I suspect they learned from experience or it could just be they are no longer interested. One just turned 13 and the other isn’t far behind.
The thing with the puppy is he has a plastic fixation and wants to steal the bucket and chew it up. So anymore it’s not so much an issue of sniffing but being an opportunist and trying to sneak off with it spilling it all over the place in the process and getting chalk all over the place.
Since I am posting again I would state what amuses me is this one kid who is about 6’ 170#'s soaking wet and a partial reps mastahhhhh advising kids on training and supplementation. Usually overheard during trips to the water fountain while they are performing their marathon curl session that lasts longer than my squat workout.

You are obviously not schooled in the Classics. There are great English authors I could refer you to - Chaucer, Joyce, and so forth, that would better educate you in the ribald humor of bodily functions. It’s all about the orifice.
In the gym, farts can be dangerously funny if you are in the middle of executing any of the big lifts. The noise can break your concentration, and the stench can make you gag.

Its funny til someone clears out the gym. Though its not always the smell that gets you, its the burning in your eyes.
Cardio freaks who spin on their bikes at 68rpm, never lift weights (except for 3x10 tricep kickbacks with 5lb. pink dumbells), and look the same they did in 1976.
Oh, and those guys who leg curl 55lbs and yell out loud like it’s 250lbs then walk around the gym huffing and puffing and groaning.
I saw a younger guy in the gym the other week change the BB bench press from a 25 on each side to a 45, but forget to put one on and just completely dump the one 45 off to the side to the side.

There is a dance and cardio studio down the hall. If you walk by and do the casual tilt-your-head and scratch-your-eyebrow while staring through the door out of the corner of your eye, you can often catch a good eyeful of nearly-naked belly dancers, exhibitionist yoga girls deliberately facing their rears to the doorway, and the occasional stripper-cize class.
The other night I saw two guys doing curls in the squat rack with about 165. Impressive weight. Then I watched their form. It was like a power clean and a standing back extension all rolled into one. If that wasn’t ghey enough they also had weight lifting belts.
and…
For some unknown reason my gym has two deadlift platforms that everyone thinks are meant to be used for curls.
The aforementioned group that front squats their load on the station beside me and only go down a couple of inches while I’m using the same weight with my ass almost on the floor.
Farts are particularly hilarious when you lift with a partner in the early morning when almost no one else is in the weight room and as you start to come out of the bottom end of your squat one squeaks out so loud you think the trumpet section of the band came into the weight room to practice - and then your partner has to either clear the air or else deal with the stench when it’s their turn.
The fucking crazy old lady who wears short runners shorts and proceeds to do various ab exercises in all sorts of places in the gym, seemingly completely at random, but most assuredly avoiding the actual abdominal benches and areas. No weights, no nothing else, just leg raises, crunches, “bicycles”, and other horrible displays of her pasty, flabby thighs.
This made me laugh, then it made me angry, because this was fucking dangerous. Some queef was tossing a medicine ball up towards the ceiling, say 20 feet high, in the same proximity as the dumbbells and people doing various dumbbell exercises on benches. He was throwing it so high that it could have easily caused some major shit had it landed wrong - in fact he let it land on the ground too. I proceeded to look at him like he was a fucking moron, then he quit.
If people are gonna try to tell me to put the weights down quietly, you better believe I’m not gonna let some jackoff throw a medicine ball up 20 feet in the air.
The old man doing quarter partials on every machine in the gym.
The insanely obese fat woman getting on the leg press to perform one 15 pound set of 5 reps, then watching everybody around the gym for 20 minutes.
The creepy older man with a beard and gyno bitch tits watching me deadlift. I asked him what he was looking at last week, but he walked off. Fucking creep.

Good God. Why, oh why, has this never happened to me before? The hilarity that would ensue following their utter embarrassment after making them perform deadlifts would be epic. I think I would actually stop everyone in the gym and gather a crowd to watch as these so-called personal trainers attempted to dead. The spectacle would be beautiful.

Blech. I just threw up in my mouth a little.[/quote]
Shut up! I can do my ab work wherever I want. Stop watching me. That’s freaking weird.
