Why must you be so difficult all the time?

Bros in my gym love bizzare forms of biceps training. They like to do lying cable curls with another bro spotting them by putting his hands on their chest. Grunting with every rep of course. Others like to do reverse preacher curls, i.e. they position their bodies where normally the bar would lie and place the bar on the seat of the preacher curl bench. I was actually asked by a bro to place the bar in his hands because he was already in position an couldn''t reach the bar by himself.

Discuss!

^^All of my Facebook friends are deeply interested in the fact I'm going to the gym.

I imagine this is what one would be thinking when updating their status with gems like: " Steps for stronger more defined biceps: 1. Upright row 3X8 2. Preacher curl 3X8 3. Seated incline curl 3X8 - Feel the burn!

I sometimes post some strength training related things on my facebook wall. Not many (if any) people like or comment on those posts, but fuck if I care. I've assumed my wall is to post whatever is "on my mind" regardless of who's paying attention.

I've noticed quite a few people abstain from posting such things. Supposedly it's because they want to avoid alienating themselves from the throngs of pencil necks they pander to.

Last night I saw a couple teenagers sitting on the machines and looking at their phones the whole time. They're weren't even lifting. They would walk around the gym looking at their phones, sit on a machine with their eyes still glued to the phone, and just sit there before moving on to the next machine. It was just them, me and this other chick so they didn't bother anybody, it was just weird. All I could think was, "Why are they here?" and "That generation is fucked."

Saw a group at the gym today training for the Olympic three man half ROM leg press event. It was glorious.

I saw a guy busting out cable front squats on a bosu ball. To his credit they were ATBB. (Ass To Bosu Ball).
