Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[Line]

Where's the story? I didn't post it because I thought you were going to

 

[Chesticles]

Hey! Line said you'd have funny stories for us

Nice PB's man, and I can relate with the militaries, my strategy was to just not do them

 

[Glex]

Ah geez, I forgot.

So Line and I are setting up a squat rack to do our military press when he says, "Someone's squatting 405 over there." The kid comes back, all 175 pounds of him, and Line continues, "No way...I've got to see these reps." I concur. Neither of us doubted that they were going to suck, but I think we were just wishing we wouldn't have to point and laugh at him.

Well, that goes shit right out the window. The kid first wraps his hoodie around his neck prep-style to pad the bar on his traps. Then he gets two of his friends to spot him on either side of the bar. He gets under it, lifts up, steps back, takes a really really wide stance, and, of course, reaches a 45 degree angle before pushing back up. Line actually got a better look; it may very well have been worse. So the douche does a dozen reps or more like that, going down maybe 6-8 inches, with Line and I pointing and laughing.

He made us do it. Why did you make us do it?

 

[Line]

I really thought he was going to fall after unracking the weight...it took him three attempts and that's with a friend on each side of the BB helping to unrack it

 

[Chesticles]

where you guys actually standing there pointing and laughing at the kid while he was squatting?

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

that story made me lol, I can just picture you and Line stood a few feet away just pointing at him and laughing your heads off, and this skinny little runt doing his silly squats

 

[Glex]

Chesti and FF: We did laugh, and I pointed once

 

[Paulie]

Good session of chest, shoulders, and tris. Numbers are all very respectable. You and Line should have a story time like I do, I think its a great idea, just to put a little humor in your logs. But your story made me laugh, I hate those damn kids that do that. Theyre just going to injury themselves

 

[Chesticles]

Chesti and FF: We did laugh, and I pointed once

You should of busted out the camera for us.

 

[onebigeric]

I might have laughed

Although I'd probably just shake my head and think 'poser, kid, clown...' or somesuch. Good on ya for actually pointing at the kid; people like that need to know when they're looking completely stupid and clueless. Not to mention doing crap like that is beyond dangerous.

 

[Line]

I actually LOLed when he did his first rep, then I had to get a drink from the water fountain and walked by him mid set, laughing and shaking my head. It was quite the sight to be seen.

 

[onebigeric]

I have a similar story I'll throw in my log tonight

 

[Glex]

Paulie: Yeah, it's distracting too. Often times they're the ones making the most noise, too

Chesti: We didn't have it then, gah! Perfect photo-op.

Eric: Yeah, I read your story What is it with kids these days?

Line: Yeah you did

Alright, here's the skinny: Line and I had a camera today, but unfortunately it doesn't have a memory card so it could only hold two videos. We got about 3 seconds into my 335 attempt and it was gone. Noooo!!!!!! If you think that's bad, there wasn't any room for Line's 500 attempt We both got them, and yes I'm aware of how 'convenient' that sounds...

Line's going to imbed the video in this post for me later, stay tuned

Here's Glex's squat at 325, which I believed tied his old personal best. It's a shame we didn't get the 335 squat on tape because he didn't lean forward nearly as much. Still, his form and poundages have come a long way since we've started training, so here goes

 

[Glex]

Haha, you can even hear me say, "I leaned forward a bit" at the end of the video. I think I went deeper on the 335, too, but it's not too bad in this vid.

 

[mvsf1]

Hey, your form is very good and 325 is... great!

BTW: take care, Line was behind you....

 

[philosopher]

Congratz on the PB's. Form looks pretty good. Always hard to stay focussed on form when lifting heavy. Keep up the good work

 

[Chesticles]

Your form wasn't that bad dude, hell mines probably worse then that

I see you outdone line on bicep work to, nice

 

[Glex]

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. I'm glad the form passes inspection

Chesti: Line was feeling lighter and I was feeling a little heavier on biceps is all. Is it because he's a pussy? You decide

I should be getting in a workout tomorrow. Don't know how it will turn out, because it will probably be a looooong-ass day. I wanted to go up to my old high school to help with volleyball practice, but I have no car so I'll have to run the 2 miles or so there. Then I'll practice, and then I'll lift. And then I have no idea how I'm getting home...maybe more running I don't want to die, I'll probably call my house.

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

form looked alright to me mate the weight on its definately not to be sniffed at good to see you throwing up PBs, SLDL are good also, do you do them on a block?
