Like most website owners, I get a lot of false comments and SPAM. No, not that delicious canned meat that tastes great with Soy sauce and rice. I’m talking about internet SPAM. Worthless, useless, and often incoherent emails and comments to my website. Here’s a few gems from this week: “i see, kind of? A commentary on [...]
There’s a reason why these gimmicky exercise devices air their infomercials and advertisements only during the late night hours of television. It’s because they know that if you’re up that late in front of the TV, chances are you aren’t all that healthy. And if you’re up so very late instead of being in your [...]
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. I always laugh when someone is flexing in the mirror and performing for themselves their very own Mr. Olympia. 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 [...]
So I never really watched much wrestling as a kid. But I do have this one memory. I was probably about nine, and was invited to stay over at a friend’s house. For our enjoyment, he had rented a video (yes, that’s right, a VHS cassette tape…I am that old) of WWF wrestling Thanksgiving Smack [...]
