Trained legs today.

squats 2 x 9 then 3 x 1 (my squats are weak from running distance for months. I thought I was warmed up but when I got to 265lbs and I really sank it something went wrong. Of course I hurt my butt muscle. LOL. I guess barbell squats are out for awhile.
leg press 2 x 12 ( kept it light but really made sure to bend my legs. Just used about 400lbs)
leg extension 3 x 12
lying leg curl 3 x 12-8
inner and outer leg machine ( you know the lady leg machine)

Donkey calf machine 2 x 15 (Hurt my bad foot like hell but I have to train calves)
Seated Hammer strength calf 2 x 15 ( Did these slow and full range.

Ab coaster 2 x 22 with 20lbs resistance.

Gym observations.
1.A gorilla guy next to me when I was using the leg extension was on a bicep curl machine. I use half the rack on that bicep curl machine. This guy did about 5 sets with the entire rack. Just amazing or he was yanking back with his entire body.

2. Two different girls were doing squats. Back squats and front squats. I was impressed with their dedication.

3. The place was a wreck today. I always train in the morning but today I trained in the afternoon. I guess it's straightened out for the morning then it deteriorates. This afternoon plates were everywhere. What a mess.

4. The women in the morning are way hotter than the women in the afternoon.

5. If you're wearing ear buds please realize I can't hear the song when you're singing. Some of these guys sound like a cat kicked in the balls.

6. It was 88F and sunny today. Why are guys training with a hoodie?  

7. Maybe I mentioned this before but is this the new thing? Why are guys slamming down their water bottles prior to a set?  Why the drama?  Next time I go, between every set I'm going to growl and not only slam my water bottle on the ground, I will throw it across the gym.  Maybe I can set a new trend.

Careful, much of this behavior would get a person kicked out of the gym I go to. There's a power lifting room where growling and slamming water bottles is acceptable. Nowhere in the gym is it acceptable to not restack your weights when you're done with them. Nowhere in the gym can you throw a water bottle and expect other's will let it go.

The guys in hoodies may be cold blooded. If you're still working out at the gym where your wife gave you a membership, it should be air-conditioned.

if people want to act like that then i am sure there are enough "Hardcore Gyms" for them out there. I only know one Gym here who allows this sort of thing, all the others kick them out or donīt allow them a contract. where i am one trainer was sacked because he was Ronny Coleman loud when training. i liked the Guy but made a fool of himself with his weird screaming and grunting. He was spoken to about it on a few occasions but never listened.

That's a lot to keep your wife happy  
Every now and then I scrub my face and apply an egg white mask. Works pretty well, since it results in a silk-like skin for days.

[DroppingPlates]

As Donny is getting older (but less 'mature'), he sometimes makes the mistake to reply via another thread, so I thought why not help this geriatric stalker good man

about as original as your egg white mask you wrote about today...tell the truth you are the Gym Bitch..itīs  Jizz    so it keeps your skin silky does it SpunkPlates? Oh Man...

what a cake  .....thanks...

Happy birthday njflex!

Today's gym observations. Trained delt and arms. My delts were incredibly weak pressing today then it hit me. It was the 4 hour kayak trip I took on Saturday. It just weakened my pressing. I'm sure I will be back better than before next delt day.

Observations: Incredible blonde training with tight leggings and and a belly shirt. Just stunning and ripped. She could easily be a top level fitness model. Just enough muscle to still be feminine.  She was thin and muscular. She really knew training. She even did front squats using straps to hold to get her elbow up. That is an advanced trick of training. I do notice she has trouble training because guys are constantly trying to engage her in conversation between set and she is friendly.

Some guys there look in just incredible shape. Not the drug bloated muscle of a bodybuilder but top conditioned athletes. Wish I was in my 20's again.  I'm still in good shape but there is only so much one can do in their later 50's without drugs.

It's not my imagination but the gym goes to hell as the day goes on. Early morning it's all in place. By afternoon the place is turning into a wreck. I wonder how it is at night?  I guess the workers clean up the place first thing in the morning. By afternoon plates are completely messed up on the storage pegs. Also does anyone have a job? The place is packed in the morning around 9AM.

I never give out training advice but some of the people new to training really could use some advices as Arnold would say it. One 20 something girl was using the seated dip machine with her arms locked straight using her body weight to push the handles down. I wonder what she thinks she is working? Maybe legs?

rich I like reading about your exploits in the gym...makes me laugh

No gym yesterday per doctor's orders, colonoscopy instead. I would have rather gone to the gym, for sure. All's good though and now that's done with for the next three years.

Car's in the shop today with a laundry list of repairs, pretty much all maintenance stuff. The bill is likely to be a few thousand dollars. It's a lot, but not as much as a new car. I may not get it back until tomorrow. Guess I will do yard work for exercise and catch up on the gym when I have wheels again.

Yeah it does. Anyone over 50 should get a colonoscopy. I believe most insurance covers the complete cost. Prostate biopsies are not fun at all. I'm glad I don't need them anymore.
