A friend of mine once tried to push me to date a girl that I wasn’t really excited about. She insisted that my feelings for this girl might develop over time if I would just “give her a chance.” So I tried. I rationalized. I told myself I wasn’t dating anyone else, so it would [...]
I don’t usually do comic strips like this. While it’s true that my comic strips are often inspired by real life observations, I seldom if ever write ones that are in any way deeply personal. Unless of course you count baseball or Transformers, in which case I write them all the time. Although, I’m guessing [...]
I admit it. I judge books by their covers. Not only that, but I’ve gotten pretty good at it too. I try to be fair. I try to keep my judgments to myself. And I try to give people the opportunity to change my mind and prove my assessments false. Often I find however, that my snap-judgments are [...]
Hey that’s great. That’s really interesting. I’m so glad to hear that. Listen, I gotta go finish up my workout and get out of here. I need to drink a protein shake before it gets too late. And there’s a ballgame on.
There’s one of these at every gym. You know exactly who I’m talking about. They’re not there to work out. They’re there to prance around in as little clothing as they can get away with. They’re there to be seen. You try not to notice. You try to avoid glances in their direction. But they [...]
While studies actually indicate that grunting and flexing will in fact increase your performance in the gym, I still think it’s funny.

Also this comic strip totally reminds me of this. …………………………………………… For the month of [...]
It’s a story that’s all too common in the gym. You’re waiting for a machine, or the cables, or a bench to open up. You’d come back to it later if you could, but you’ve already finished everything else from your workout. All you need is just three sets of one last, stupid, exercise. But [...]
Gym etiquette isn’t hard to understand. It isn’t hard to grasp. It’s really just common sense. You already learned everything you needed to know back in kindergarten. Pick up after yourself. Put your toys away when you’re done using them. Learn how to share. Don’t hog all the best toys for yourself. Don’t distract others who are [...]
I have a few pet peeves when it comes to working out in the gym. But my biggest one hands down, is when people don’t rack their weights properly. Nothing irritates me more then when someone puts the weight on the wrong rack, or worse yet, when they don’t rack their weight at all. I [...]
I love my gym time. I’m a bit of a gym rat. Four days a week I need to be in there lifting. But I do think it’s kind of funny that so many people pay for gym membership just to run on a treadmill. I mean really, what does a treadmill offer you that [...]
