    Saw some guy doing lunges on the smith machine today with a gym mat (the big red ones) folded over and used like the bar pad. That's all.

    Are you hating on the lunges? Smith Machine lunges are great burners instead of leg extensions. I LOVE when people use mats all over the gym

    Lunges are just one of those exercises I just can't do.  They do nothing for me at all.

    I don't necessarily hate any exercise. But, the guy was using next to no weight and he was using the gym mat to protect his neck. I mean, wow.

    There's this one girl at my gym; a blonde. She comes in her short shorts and talks up all the guys. It's literally 90% talking, and her workout a joke. She holds 5 lb dumbbells in sumo squat and punches the air…and then does these kettle bell-esque swings with those giant exercise balls…She does nothing and I hear her chatting about her fitness model career. On the surface it pisses me off and deep down it thoroughly disappoints me.  Then I discovered headphones.

    Headphones are a blessing! 🙂Kettlebell swings with a swiss ball . . . That's a new one! Unfortunately this is the sort of thing celebrity exercise DVDs teach women. Rule of Thumb: If it has a celebrity endorsing it, don't buy it. There's a reason they have to pay that much money to try and sell it to you.

    You can send her over my gym lol.

    I knew something like that was coming!The gym is essentially a bar. It's totally amusing. It takes more sifting through to find the people of substance but for those who don't give a shit, there are plenty of girls like her around. So much less work...

    Unfortunately my gym is all old ladies and guys.  Maybe it's because I hate bars and clubs and have no social life, but I don't understand why a woman would be opposed to talking to a guy at the gym.  Don't get me wrong I go to the gym to train.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with a woman wanting to talk to a guy at the gym – it's the girls who go there for the purpose of talking to a guy that are amusing…The ones in the booty shorts with rainbow knee high socks and a sports bra…doing exercises like the ones mentioned above. It's the neediness for attention that drives some of us crazy. BUT I bet they leave with several dating options so to each his own. I just find it entertaining  ;D

    Do those RDLs in the open for the world to see! All the other ladies need to see what goes in to building a nice bum.
