Yogi's Random Training Thoughts

I keep a bottle at my desk for days when I’m dragging. A co-worker of mine grabbed it, got way too close, took the biggest whiff I’ve ever seen in my life and screamed “my brain is on fire!” I thought that was a pretty accurate summary, haha.

Wait what? Are you like doing that Abadjiev thing where you casually sniff ammonia to perk yourself up or something?

Well, no. Again, it’s for when I’m dragging. Definitely not a casual thing, haha. It was also useful when I had students who would fall asleep.

You teach or? If you don’t mind me asking, what do you do for a living?

I was an instructor for a long while, but these days I’m in something of a middle management position.

There’s some vids up on my old band’s facebook but obviously that’d reveal my secret identity so it’s no bueno.

The new band’ll need to cut a demo before we start gigging so I’ll link it as an audio file on here when we do.

so I know how much you guys love an embarrassing Yogi story, so here you go:

There’s this dude who kicks about my gym who’s clearly not the full bhuna. He has a carer with him half the time so this is not an unreasonable assumption on my part. He’s a nice enough wee guy though and is always chatting to people. Today I’d just finished a workout and came in to the changing rooms to find him standing by my locker, so I knew today was my turn to get a chat with him. The conversation went as follows:

Him - How muscular are you?
Me - Not very, haha.
Him - Boop! as he squeezes my arm
Me - slightly awkward fake laugh
Him - I see you in here quite a bit; how often do you come?
Me - Like 3 or 4 times a week. Never more than four times. I find any more than that and I’m not really recovered enough.
Him - Yeah same here. I like 3 times.
Me - Yeah that’s the sweet spot for me too. Anyway man it was nice to talk to you, I’ll see you soon. putting on jacket to leave
Him - Ok. I love you.
Me - Eh, thanks man. You too…
Him - You love me too?
Me - Uh, yeah? Sure. Why not…
Him - OK! gleefully

I managed to get out the changing room before the uncontrollable laughter hit. I know it’s not really cool laughing at someone like that but when you get an “I love you” from a stranger out of the blue it kinda throws you off a little bit.

What can I say? Just a loveable guy all round.

Just spent £114 on supplements.

God damn it costs a lot of money when you have to buy them all at once.

Is that why everyone in Australia seems to be bad asses?

Probably. That and the climate and landscape regularly try to kill us.

@Yogi1 I had an old man tell me “nice penis” once in a gym locker room. I was very flustered, and said “thanks, you too.” Which didn’t make a lot of sense since he was fully clothed. I’m glad I don’t train there anymore.
