Gym

I forgot to mention my gym results.  They weren’t bad.  Numbers-wise I am weak but I think that is more from being sick for almost three weeks and being creatine/endothil free.  I didn’t fatigue as fast as I did the last time I gave it a go so all in all it was a positive experience.  Now I need to get my running cranked up again.

There have been two funny gym characters I saw the last two days.  Yesterday there was visualization man.  He was tall, skinny, dorky lookin guy with a q-tip full of tight curly black hair.  He almost looked like one of the Brady kids.  Well anyway he was over at the squat rack.  He did very little squatting and a whole lot of preparation.  He was constantly closing his eyes and mimicking the exercise. Then he would bend over at the waist, hold his arms out at 90 degree angles and move them back and forth like he was doing the robot. He would hop back and forth on each foot like a boxer getting ready for a round.  It was really weird.  I mean the guy only had 135 on the bar, it hardly required a zen-like trance to accomplish.

Then today we had Sir Speedy.  He is an older guy, skinny, long mustache, longish straggly hair, late 40’s, early 50’s maybe.  He looks like he got off the time machine from 1974.  Well his thing is to do ridiculous looking, ultra fast exercises with weight so light women would laugh at him.  He does this hilarious move where he grabs a 5 pound plate in each hand and pumps his arms up and down with blinding speed.  He gets on the bench and bounces the empty bar up and down on his chest at least 25 times.  Everything he does is ultra-light, ultra-fast and ultra-silly looking.  Eh, he isn’t a fat ass so it must be workin for him.
