20 chins at 60

[CalvinH]

I only talk to maybe 7 people at the gym

6 more then I talk to and the one I do talk to it's about golf not the gym.

I've never tried to do 20 in a row but 4 sets of 10. I have managed to do it a few times but take two weeks off from trying and it's like I have to start all over again.

[IroNat]

Sounds like a worthy goal, Swifty.

Just been gym
Tried a chin and felt like my arms would rip off
Went o n the assisted chin machine, did
2x8 reps with 50k assist
3 x 8 with 30k assist
4 x 5 with 20k assist

then did 4 sets lat pulldowns noice and slow with 50kilos

Was going to leave it at that but fuck it, I went back to the chinning bar and managed 3 full reps arms full extended between pulls

think Im going to manage this...

Told one of the lads training what I was doing and he just jumped on the chinning bar and did a quick 20 reps, he weighs 100k but he is only 30, still really impressive.

I have enogh stuff in my garage to train, my wifes clogged the place up with shit
I go to the gym for variety although it is annoying seeing the PTs just wasting people time and charging them money for it

I only talk to maybe 7 people at the gym, most of them women

At some point everyone I have ever met ends up getting on my fucking nerves, Im just not all that tolerant.
First thing I do when I meet someone new is look for something I dont like about them and really focus in on it, saves a lot of time later.

I understand the approach, but nobody is perfect. We are always going to disagree in something, it doesn't mean one cannot build a great friendship/relationship.

I was trying to build up my Pull-Ups so I was doing Negative only reps as it was tough doing a decent set at first.

I stood on a small platform,got my hand spacing correct,jumped up to the bar,held myself at the top while squeezing my upper back muscles for a couple of seconds,then I slowly lowered myself as slow as I could into a full stretch......rinse,wash,repeat.

Its not the agree or disagree that bothers me, old saying. "you never learn anything from people who always agree with you"

Its habits and behaviours people have
I was on holiday with my wife a few years ago and we met a couple from Manchester , she was great but her husband was recovering from a work accident with a grinder, it bounced up and spilt his face open near his mouth.
When I was talking to the guy he kept sticking his tongue out and licking his chin
Later my wife said "shall we ask them if they want to eat with us later?" I just said "Nah fuck that he keeps licking his fucking chin"
My wife said "hes had an accident and his chins numb, he cant feel it"
Still , fuck it, we didnt eat with them

Im aware of that..........

[Donny]

Im aware of that..........

I am honestly not trying to take the piss but youīre not a team player are you.
you are exactly like a guy i worked with & he blamed everyone for his short comings in life. I am not saying you are a bad bloke but reading your comments itīs very negative towards everyone.
I would not for example think about a handicapped person (or injured) like you as i met a few when i was active as a trainer.
maybe you need professionel help & again i am not taking the piss here.
I myself am a very private person these days but i still try to accept others in a humain manner.

I dont blame anyone for my shortcomings, when have I ever shown any resentment for anyone on here?
Im not a jealous person which is the first manifestation of resentment.

Apart from Brian who else have I been negative towards on here?

I just keep myself to myself in public, I will chat to people if I have something in common with them.
To be honest I can be perfectly charming and convince anyone I like them if I wanted to, I spent years in customer service jobs pretending.

My time is my time, my job is talking to people all day and maintaining a pleasent atmosphere and making some really boring shit seem interesting , when I come home I want to switch off from all that.

played rugby from 20-23, played at school as well

Really enjoyed rugby, I stopped because your acheivements were based on a team effort, the result wasnt fully in your control, with bodybuiling it was just me.


You could play your socks off at rugby and still lose, you could also have a shit game and do fuck all and still win.

Last game I played I went to a new much better club, I trained with the juniors because I couldnt train with the senior team because I worked their training nights

I turned up at the club house for the game Saturday and the coach said to me "you are playing today"
Half an hour later he came back over and said, " X has turned up so you wont get a game now"
That was me done, I never played another competitive game of rugby, I threw myself into bodybuilding

[Donny]

you know i remember i trained a woman who was if i remember correctly 32 & was badly scarred because of burns on both arms & covered her arms because of assholes like you in the Gym.
I said to her show your arms let them stare & then itīs no problem anymore..she did then show her arms & was accepted.
If anyone would say anything they would be kicked out. I hate assholes who bully people or are simply ignorant.
most of these types are weaklings mentally

you werenīt first choice so i understand the ego thing but instead of trying to be better you took the easy way out.
In a team no one wants to be the weak link in the chain.
In every team sport there is egos ..leaders & sheep.
I liked Judo because you were in competition as a team but also fought as an individuel maybe you should have tried this.

[Grape Ape]

Asks how many chins can be done.

It's explained that those are pullups, not chins.

Goes right back to calling them chins.


Or am I the one confused?
