Veeeeeeeeeery funny. Toes are laughing. Hurhurhurhurhur

Not all powerlifters look like couch potatoes mind you.

Yeah he wanted to lick in between your toes too. =P

*sniff sniff* hmmm bromance in the air..LOL

That too.. i mean if you want to bromance, get a room, don't feel each other up at the gym.

It doesn't tick me off but its, well, wrong.

=.="

sicko!

There is a guy in my gym who "use" two equipements at one time.

He's like doing flat bench press and after finish his 1st set, he will go to the situp bench and do the situp. Then he hangs his towel at the situp bench and proceed back to the bench press.

hate those type of person. i mean I know you are big and you pay gym fee. i'm not big but hey, i pay my gym fee also. Why so kiasu use 2 equipment at one time?

there was once my friend just take his towel and throw to other equipment and proceed to use the equipment.

ishhhh

Mind if I work in brah?

Is that hard to ask?

Well, it's not that hard to ask but every fricking time? Man, it's a common courtesy though, don't you think? Both equipments are not side by side, they are like at end of 2 corners in the gym.

I don't think its that big a deal.

Don't know what routine the guy is doing, but you can open your mouth and ask OR if you don't want to ask, just tell him that you're going to use it while he is doing his away set.

Exactly what other forumers are saying. Why not just ask instead of standing there b****ing and giving him the evil eye like most other gym members do?

"How many more sets left bro?"

"Do you mind if we share?"

It's not that hard. Open your mouth because people can't read your mind. For all you know, he is a nice guy that's just following his own routine.

Just ask. People can't read minds.

I had it worse.

There was this once, this British guy with his chinese buddy who was hogging up 3 freaking places: Dips machine, one bench, and cable pulldown. I needed to use the bench, so i politely asked whether i could work in-between their sets by using the bench (they were using the dips machine then), and they said NO. WTF!?!!

I was like, "O_O Oookay..." and walked away, decided to do something else instead. My gym partner told me later that the British guy was eyeing me with some-sorta anger-filled eyes after i turned away.

I suppose they're either just plain selfish, or plain new to the bbing *shrugs*

There are some people like that.. I understand how you feel and will also be angry too.. Well maybe next time don't talk or even look at them.. Full of ego that is..

It is normal when people occupied two or three machines at the same time because they are doing superset or triple set. If you politely ask them whether we can share, i guess no issue at all. Unless in your case..the british guy...haha....feel like hitting him...

If there happens to some dude who complaint about it here, here's mah story.

Came to True Fitness for deadlift session.
Saw 2 friends. 1 using the power rack, the other outside of the power rack doing deadlifts. Both are basically doing deadlifts.
I went in to ask if I could rotate with the dude in the rack. he said ok.
Never did rotate with me and used the one outside with his friend instead.

I had no issue if I had to match his strength (he was doing 60 and 70 kg deadlifts. I was going for 110) and load or deload the weights. But now I felt like I stole the power rack from the dude.

Apologies!

Maybe its just your feelings..i think he is fine with it since he decides that himself..i mean if he were really serious bout using the power rack, then he might just be doing that..

Respect for your deadlift 110kg! My worst lift is deadlift..

Fuh, PR 110kg bro? did u get it?

YUP! Unfortunately, I argued with my mother yesterday as she wants me home to do renovation clean up. So i sucked it up, went home, also lifted some heavy stuff, then went back to the gym.

But unfortunate part was that whenever I lifted, the left fingers feel like rolling off the bar. My thumb couldn't stick. (I use a double overhand grip for DLs) But managed to churn out 3 reps. Then went down to 105kg for 4 reps. It was at 105kg that I had the idea to do Hook Grip instead. And I felt proud.

Added on October 23, 2012, 3:11 pmI wanted to be polite. Because sharing is caring. I was just telling myself to be focused as much as I can to the lift. The nervousness was quite daunting.
