Once they find out where celebs are staying crazy fans will often buy a hotel room where they're staying. A small price to pay to walk on the same tiles as harry styles o_O

And you wonder why famous people pull out restraining orders on such fans.

Yeah, they would have all gotten a room for the night. Concert tickets are bad enough, let alone another couple of hundred for a room just to catch a glimpse.
He did the dodgy when he left too, went in to the male changerooms with his bodyguards and never came out again. I assume there was a staff access or something

dumbells not heavy enough. think "16" was the heaviest. felt big.

Who needs cables? Chins/pull ups and bb rows or inverted rows with a weight on your chest if there isn't enough weight or a barbell. Nearly always have to improvise when using hotel gyms

Being serious or...?
Definitely a forgotten and highly underrated exercise. Very effective for the entire upper body
Always felt they were

1. More of a chest focussed exercise
2. An accessory exercise

Brb only do compound/major lifts, with maybe one or two exercised of the "major accessory exercises" at the end.

Sturt
oh and female receptionist was working out. then engaged some stretching. for some reason she chose to speak loudly whereupon everyone within 20m could hear her
How loud was the gyms music though? Probably needed to deafen himself to get over the top of what the gym had on

Something a bit different that I think you wouldn't get too often. Over uni holidays I'm home so have free access to another gym (helped the guy move equipment a while back so life membership :thumbsu:) And it was the cleaner of all people, she chose to come in then and start cleaning down benches and equipment. Which is all well and good, except it's only a small gym and there was already me and 4 others in there which left us all stepping over each other, and the smell of her cleaning spray filled the room for remainder of the time I was there, and I can tell you it wasn't pleasant.

I just bought some Olympic Dumbbells because the weights at jetts don't go beyond 40's


So i bet there are a few people form my gym, online on some other forum in an "irritating people at the gym thread" calling me out for being a tosser or something.

But i'm not going to lie, it does look pretty badass Incline Dumbbell Pressing 46 kilos in each hand - which is two 10kilos plates on each end of the dumbbell. The things are huge.
