The reference to this in 50 First Dates was pure brillianceWhen I saw this movie, I thought thats how you were meant to tee off.

This did the rounds on the net a few years back. The abuser was a f**kwit.
Might have a day off on Monday next weekIs pretty much my no1 rule- no gym on a Monday, ever.
-insert obvs joke about LD here-
I like it.
Probably a better environment to trainI never did it at a "gym" ive always trained alone but from 15-21 i did most of my gym work at the footy club gym and we ALL did it.
Best training daysSunday > late Fri night > Saturday arvo > Wed/Thurs/Tues
7-8am for me, once Squad is finished and just the old folks rock up, no judgemental flogs around, just people who want to exerciseWith swimming I'll massively go out of my way to go during quiet times. ie. Early Sunday morning (but not TOO early cos there are still some freaks that go super early), or late Friday nights are probably the best times.
That's why being a garage/home gym owner is elite, 100% purely to keep fitThere's a bit of look at me in gyming in general. Very few are at the gym purely to keep fit. For the rest there's a small to a huge amount of appearance and body image in play.
Better than nothing mateI hacvent done any gym work (weights) all lockdown. Well carrying shopping bags each of two exception.
Played a sh*t load of golf since it was permitted some two weeks ago
Always wondered how Happy would go padded up facing some Pakistani or Indian spinner and try and smash one over long ons headWhen I saw this movie, I thought thats how you were meant to tee off.
If thats happening its likely a backhanded compliment possibly, you being an attractive girl.*people who want to just exercise can be absolute flogs too.
No1 pet hate- dipshits who join your lane even tho there are several empty.
Wouldn't most people be a bit more subtle and just pick the lane next to the female...If thats happening its likely a backhanded compliment possibly, you being an attractive girl.
I think most in here would go to an empty lane.
The caveat would be though if there is lanes designated, slow, medium or fast.
True, thats the point Im making the guy obviously is trying to try his luck.Wouldn't most people be a bit more subtle and just pick the lane next to the female...
If there is free lanes the slow, medium, fast can just be ignored a bit tbh, common sense again.
Yeh.Probably a better environment to train
You played VFL yeah? So was that TAC Cup/VFL gyms you were at?
Pretty standard at most gyms that arent the old school iron paradise now reallyThis sign on the deadlift platform at Franks Gym in Noosa
Tbh I don't see a huge problem with it. Deadlifting in sanctioned events, you'd usually get red flagged for dropping the weights. Should be finishing the lift regardless. Although it's not exactly hurting anyone when you drop the weights. Only people I see drop weights are meat head ego lifters and crossfittersPretty standard at most gyms that arent the old school iron paradise now really
I’ve said this before, I don’t really take issue with it, I’ve got headphones in and am in my own zone anyway but plenty of people find it intimidating and uncomfortable. If you’re in a standard gym (fitness first) it also means less chance the equipment gets damaged.Tbh I don't see a huge problem with it.

yeah crossfit is a bit weird, at my gym i always control it down but then they say to me go heavier and dont waste energy doing thatTbh I don't see a huge problem with it.

Unless you’re training specifically for powerlifting the rule “if you can’t put it down don’t pick it up” seems reasonable to meyeah crossfit is a bit weird, at my gym i always control it down but then they say to me go heavier and dont waste energy doing that
My gym's a dedicated powerlifting gym. Dude who runs is top 2 in the state for his weight class and competes at a national level. He's insistent on not dropping the weight, so I don't even think it's really a powerlifting thing to drop the weights (although I guess it may differ by federations)Unless you’re training specifically for powerlifting the rule “if you can’t put it down don’t pick it up” seems reasonable to me

On the clanging thing I’ve always thought you probably should read the gym. Some people can be intimidated by meat heads throwing weights around (not suggesting that’s you) but unless you’re at an old school iron paradise I’d expect that not dropping weights is pretty standard (most chain gyms have that sign posted now)

Again, i dont really care about either, but if youre at a standard commercial gym and they have signs probably dont do it or at least dont be shocked when youre told not to do it.There is clanging and there is clanging - dropping a deadlift from the lock position on a platform is different from actively throwing down dumbbells together with a histrionic grunt. Former OK - latter shithouse
PS: cannot ******* wait to get in there again on Friday
The funny thing, is that I dont think he was trying to be an a-hole, I genuinely think he thought there was nothing wrong with what he is doing.
Its the gym, I have seen some f**ked up sh*t over the years.
