Did legs for volume today. 20 reps per set. Holy $hit, need some tomato sauce for my leg noodles.

 

Been busting my ass on legs for the past few months. Calves are coming in finally.

Oh and this holiday season, my diet can fuck off.

 

that's the spirit! enjoy it

tomorrow morning i'm going for a run, some stair sprints, pull up/tire flip/burpee work out and then i'm going to get drunk, watch football all day and eat the shit out of some thanksgiving dinner and pie

happy turkey day meat heads!

 

Who carries their phone in the gym? There is a dude that is always yakking on his damn phone. I look forward to the day he's on a machine that I wanna get on and he's yakking away.

 

i do...but only for the off chance the wife needs to get a hold of me or work wants to call and ruin my day lol... i hear you about people just talking on their phones..your there to lift not talk.... i have adopted the 20 sec. wait..after this what ever they were using becomes fair game. this is normally for the db's that think because they are doing a circuit they can hold all the equipment at the gym...dont think so buddy. every once in a while i will text some of my old lifting buddies some of the dumb shit i see in the gym for a good laugh.

 

I do, but just to listen to Pandora. The music at my gym blows.... That song "Run the world, GIRLS" played onetime and it killed my workout..

Last week I was on back day and I usually start with Lat pull downs, well when I got there, A guy was on the lat pull down machine,
just yakking away on the phone sitting there hogging it for 30 minutes

Pull ups next time......HATE those guys!

 

I do, I choose to answer the calls I want or don't want.

I stay on my piece of equipment as I have specific times I rest and I have a number of sets I do...I make it clear that whoever wants to work in with me can only have the machine for 90 seconds at a time. And I make it clear my routine calls for 10 sets. Oh you don't like I have 9 sets left, tough luck buddy.

If a guy sits on a machine and doesn't use it and for an extended period of time (longer then a standard rest period) I'll go up and see if he's using it. What's really stupid is when they say yeaa man, got 3 sets left, and you watched them walk up to the machine and sit down and yak away.

 

haha exactly what i mean... also that locker room thing is annoying too. is it to hard to wrap a towel around you.

 

Yea, I agree with ya! I sometimes wonder where some of these guys get their routines...especially when there are women in the gym working harder then the guys!!

 

yeah but every once in a while a girl will suprise you... couple months ago i was at the gym doing chest..as i walk over to the surprisingly empty flat bench i see someone is doing dead lifts because there is a loaded bar with 405 on it...but there is a pink belt laying across it...couple minutes later this chick walks up puts on her belt and knocks out a set of like 5 with 405..thank god i wasn't doing either back or legs (i sometimes change which two of the days i do deads on)... in the squat rack next to her was some kid doing squats with like 135..poor kid lol.

 

^^^God damn I hate that feeling.
