Good work Marine, despite not being into it. Your light session really isn't that light.

Lecrea to top it off. Good job!

Thank you my friend.

I'm not sure how long that took you, but I can see you pushing the envelope time-wise to keep the intensity up; you can see that in the bench progression. Good job gettin' in there, gettin' work done, and gettin' out safely. On to the next one...

WTF Moment (Registered Trademark, MHL Enterprises, LLC.) of the day:

Two of them actually. The first involved one of the male "trainers" at my dungeon. He had a female client who was rather....um....top heavy. So what was in this "trainer's" bag of tricks today? Jumping jacks. Yep, jumping jacks. See those tricep pushdowns and cable crunches up there? Throughout the entirety of me doing those he had this girl doing jumping jacks. No uncertainty as to who was getting the most from that set. I had to give the "trainer" one of these:



Next contender...

Some fella comes in and fishes around for a pair of 5lb plates. He finds them and then proceeds for one of the infamous "balls." He gets the largest "ball" he can find, sits his ass on it and then, while holding the 5lb plates, one in each hand, down by his sides, he "walks" around the floor of the dungeon...sitting on the ball the whole time, just scooting himself along.

Analysis of such a scenario?



Anyway...

Boneless to Fakie tuneage today:

Thank you my friend.

And yes, it was. Once he noticed my look, the "trainer" knew that I knew precisely what he was up to. I'd like to think he cared, but it's far more likely that he didn't.

As for the other fella, not even a combo Bert + Angel Eyes stare would have been adequate.

Thanks brother.

[Doc.Happy]

great job on the squats and the rest of the workout!

sorry to hear about your wife. been out of the forum loop for a few weeks, just too busy with life. i will be praying.

[Meatpants]

Strong session FIM. Glad to see you have a good one. Monster squats bro. Monster.

Continued well wishes and prayers for your family.

[Whatanejit]

I do wonder why these women put up with the PT sheet. I would have 'demanded' an alternative 'warm up/cardio' exercise.

I'm beginning to want to join a gym now so that I can watch all of these shinanigans!

I'm glad the synapses were firing well .. keep them working!

[-=FLEX=-]

Congrats on the 460 x 5. That's some epic squattin'!

Well, just as an update, my wife had her MRI on Friday and, by all preliminary accounts thus far, everything seems normal. We'll know more however when it gets reviewed this coming week.

This weekend has been a whirlwind of various, sundry family affairs as well as an exercise in carditioning to the eleventh power times one hundred. I've got carditioning coming out my ears, ending with today's some odd 4 mile jog in what I can only describe as blistering heat combined with a sauna.

Looking forward to some dungeon time in the am tomorrow.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend and I'm not sure I possess the words, nor the skill, to fully convey how deeply appreciated all your kind words, support, prayers and good thoughts are. Thank you brothers/sisters.

Now...

As for that WTF Moment...

I was over by the squat rack doing those SLDLs. These two fellas come over who shall be called Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum:



They "set up" on the floor right next to me, but not before slapping each other on the shoulders, with one of them (take your pick whether it was Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum) lifted his tank top to "admire" his abs in the mirror. Yeah, you know right away the type we're dealing with here. Then, Tweedle Dee gets on the floor, supine, and brings his knees to his chest so that the bottom of his shoes are nearly facing up, parallel to the floor. Tweedle Dum then lays down on Tweedle Dee's feet in a quasi-Superman pose. Tweedle Dee then, microscopically, pushes upwards while Tweedle Dum arches back and raises his arms. If these two mooks are trying out for a spot in the Flying Zandoosh Bros., I wish they would have found some other place to do it. They continue this multiple times without ever having "swapped" places. I guess Tweedle Dee is the foundation man.

The wonders never cease. Joys of public dungeon membership #4,233,085.
