Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Gym manager asked if I could move so she could have the wall behind the squat rack so she could work out.

Sure, why not. I just have to move my box and gym bag out the way. I moved my stuff and started loading the bar for front squats.

She asks if I'm using the barbell and if not, she'll grab another one.

You asked for the wall, not the wall and the bar.


I continue to load plates so she grabs another barbell then starts doing hip thrusts right behind me, occasionally superset with DB goblet squats.

This goes on for about 25, 30 minutes.


Then she puts up half the equipment, leaves the half other there, and moves over to the other rack and starts squatting 95 pounds with the safeties upside down.


Weak bytch, why not just move to the other rack in the first place? The fukk you need a wall to do hip thrusts for?


Now she's slamming the leg press against the idle stop at the bottom of each rep.

We reached the time of the year where the people sticking with resolutions are also the idiots

I'd agree except that she's the one who runs the day-to-day operations of the gym.


I hope (kinda) somebody doesn't fail with those safeties on like that, or think that's how they're supposed to go and start setting them like that.

Trainers at my gym have found a true come-up:

Older clients

• Listen to them talk like it’s a therapy session
• Convince them to constantly stretch and foam roll but barely break a sweat training
• Have them doing ab work
• Hour long sessions

lmfoa man its so much bank you can make as a trainer in a smaller market/rich suburb.

In Major cities the trainer stuff is oversaturated.

But all these fat folks still walking around sweating.

This heated mattress pad is like a heating pad you can sleep on.


Foam rolling and stretching been took a back seat to the heat.

Been at it a few days and this is the best I've felt in years! I've since become addicted to the climbing wall and I'm headed out to Moab in a few weeks to hit up some beginner biking trails and hiking! It's true when you focus on yourself 100% your life gets dramatically better

Focusing on just lifting when I'm at the gym and leaving cardio to my commute and soccer is prob the best decision I've made. My lifts are much more focused and I don't feel like I have to squeeze in cardio and lifting into one session.

I'll be in a really good place by the time we RTO at the end of March.
