yesterday there was a female PT at my gym showing a woman how to squat and bench press. i was impressed. she also did leg press and assisted pullups

 

[elenarella14]

What are assisted pullups? Do you have someone helping you?

 

[SamiSam]

It's this (though when I was struggling with chinups I first used a resistance band, as the level of assistance reduces as you get further up which more closely models the actual strength difficulty pattern of the movement, that first pull from dead hang to the 90 degree upper/lower arm at elbow is the hardest portion). She was obviously a little overweight so pullups were never going to happen, and probably wont at her current weight. Heavy male powerlifters have a similar problem as far as reps go).

Waking up and reading that my Sociology of Sport class is canceled so I can go to the Boxing gym after drawing class. Win.

"Although the scientific literature is strangely bereft of teaspoon related research, the phenomena we have described are capable of interpretation using some well known theoretical perspectives."

I had to go purchase "two passport size photos" to send in with some other info to get my amateur booklet log thing for Boxing and realized there hasn't been a time in the last year where I haven't had to get a picture taken in a professional manner for identification that I haven't had a black eye in.

Saw a bloke in Burger King earlier...full-on Tapout t-shirt and matching Tapout joggy bots.
Although in this blokes case it wasn't so much "Tapout" as "Gutout".
Boy did he have the old paunch going on. And he was at least 15 years younger than me.
Maybe it was something to do with the 4 whoppers he ordered?
I REALLY wanted to ask him if he trained UFC.

 

[AlexisInfectious®]

is that Unlimited Fat Club?

 

[ByronB]

I mean to be fair the only reason I saw him was because I was in Burger king too. I'm making a preliminary entry to the Ultimate Fat Club myself.

UFC is all about the beef

I took an old ipod shuffle copy long dead, ripped the bits out, cut off the sides and stuck it with sellotape to my philips mp3 player (as i needed a clip to stick onto my teeshirt sleeve, lapel or shorts at the gym) and amazingly it worked. Huzzah for hacksaws and sellotape

Chopping up iPods is just generally fun.
