20, ZZZzzzzzzzz

My return to the 300 workout after an 11 day hiatus was difficult as expected.  It started out well with me finally getting the 20th pull up.  I think losing body weight definitely makes those easier.  I struggled through the rest of the workout but managed to go +4 in reps to 261.  During my floor wipers I had to rack the weights briefly after rep 25, I just was spent.  After maybe 10 or 15 seconds I pushed the barbell back up and did my last five reps.

I was spent. But as I am in my back room busting my ass to the verge of barfing, I was contrasted by one of the oddest things I ever saw at the gym, someone sleeping on an ab machine 10 feet away from me.  It was a black guy that I have seen there a few times before.  He was on an ab machine that reclines at an angle.  For the longest time I didn’t look directly at him but I knew he had been on the same machine for a very long time.  I figured he was just really lazy and took ridiculously long breaks in between exercises.  However after maybe 15 minutes of this guy being in the same spot, I looked closer, his eyes are closed and he is sleeping….  What the f??? 

Being in the middle of my self inflicted physical pain, I found this very annoying to have someone sleeping at the gym.  I muttered under my breath “… f’ing ridiculous”  After maybe 20 minutes or so, the Haitian woke up from nap time and resumed his low intensity, light weight ab routine.  Damn I wish I had a camera with me. I’ve seen lots of crazy things during twenty years of going to gyms but never someone sleeping on the equipment.
