Why do people insist on using the locker RIGHT NEXT to an already occupied locker?
I go out of my way to find a locker with three or four empties on either side.
After my workout,I find there’s a guy changing and using the locker right next to mine, even though there are plenty of free ones with space around them
it’s always like that. no matter what, it’s guaranteed that somebody will need to get into the locker next to yours while your there. i think it’s in the bible…
first muscleonians, chapter seven verse three…
yea he doth said unto them, bringith forth thine sweaty and ill begotten cloth of dispear. place it not into the void of the un-holy free locker domain. nay, thy shalt placeth it forth into the arms of thy brother, and at his side reign always your stench. thou shalt expose thine humblest of forms for all to bear witness, and thou shalt bendeth down to retrieve thine socks and in doing so, bear unto them the darkest hole of thine person. in this my will be done.
Those days when you go about everything getting ready to lift, then you get under the bar and you are pathetically weak. Its either settle for lifting 15% less weight than you usually do or going home!
I know something is better than nothing, I know what works well, but I always have it in the back of my mind that I could be doing something better.
I also hate not knowing if I’m doing too much cardio and I’m sacrificing muscle, or not enough and I might be able to add just as much muscle while keeping the fat to a minimum.
Same with eating. So many people are so different that it’s hard to know who’s advice you should take.
And not getting results fast enough.
And getting so discouraged when a max effort day didn’t result in a new PR, and having it ruin the rest of the workout.
I workout at home on a old york bench. The vertical bars you place the BB on are 1cm from the bench. A real bitch for some movements. The leg extension thingy is so close to the ground you can use it cause you feet get wedged. I dont use it now but used to have to put the bench on bricks. The curling portion of the leg thingy is equally uncomfortable. Deadlift variations have replaced this.
I hate having a small garage that requires alot of moving to get the BB off the bench. I hate having to constantly unscrew and add weight. I hate family and neighbours deciding they want to be in the garage in the same time your trying to work out. I hate the boredom of 10x3 thats alot of rest periods without alot of change.
I dislike not being able to do every excercise i see in CT’s articles in my current CW program aswell as concepts from other authors. I want to play with everything interesting in the one program.
A necessary evil. Between lifting and playing guitar, I’ve got some nasty looking hands for a woman. I do my own manicures with a single edged razor blade.
My shins are always scraped to hell from dead lifting. Doesn’t stop me from wearing skirts and shorts. People’s reactions to my battle wounds lets me know who my friends are.

People who sweat on the equipment and don’t wipe up after themselves.
Gosh that reminds me…once there was this girl with a massive Ringworm breakout, perspiring all over the equipment and not wiping them down. Same with this guy who had obvious Conjunctivits, which is extremely contagious by contact with tiny amounts of the fluids. And then the anyonymous person who left their bowel movement on the floor by the free weights. Yuck. Makes me thankful to have my own equipment now.
