GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log

[Dustin07]

I'm still thinking about the Renaissance Festival and protien icees in here. Did you see all the Shane Gillis drama this week calling out girls for dressing trashy at the gym, so they all doubled down and started posting more selfies in their disappearing yoga pants this week? everyones saying Shane is an evil genius playing 4D chess hahaha

 

[MrKleen73]

Yeah, I saw it and it was hilarious, and in the end the punchline was self depreciating, about him being the fat guy drooling in the background staring at them in everyone's videos. A little bit funny most of the ones complaining about it stop the joke before the punchline because if they show the self depricating side of it, it holds less water.

I am at a point now, if you dress that way I AM GOING TO LOOK AT YOU! I am not going to stare, or leer, but I am going to grab multiple 1-2 second glances. If you don't want attention dress modestly. When I am lean and in a stringer and see people looking at me for what I have built, I appreciate the attention. I have no issues with them dressing this way honestly. I just have issues with them doing it and thinking they have a right to act like they are being violated if looked at. If that is the case they are violating me by making me uncomfortable by dressing that way and expecting me to curb my natural instinct to look. We all know how hard it is not to look, and trying not to is indeed uncomfortable. So f that nonsense, dress how you want but you don't get to tell me how to control my eyes.

Yep, exactly….the owner of our gym’s wife told me about it, and she thought he was hilarious, and she said exactly what you said Kleen. That they were taking it out of context, because the punchline was him being the out of shape guy drooling in the background.
Her and almost all the women at our gym wear yoga pants and know they are being looked at and seem to like it. Ha, most of the regulars are bold and flirty and love to flaunt it.

the whole thing absolutely cracks me up. I don't have a problem with it, I am even open with my wife about it and tell her how much sluttier the girls at this new gym are compared to Tacoma. they can wear the exact same clothes yet somehow come across as sluttier. we have a "selfie" mirror literally in the lifting room. its called a selfie mirror, and its set up near the bootie builder machines which are literally called like bootie builder and bootie blaster lol. Our new rig is like 10 power rigs where they face each other. so if you get into a bad rhythm, you could accidentally be making eye contact with the dude in front of you while you both squat rep for rep. thats sorta awkward. most guys will wait till your set is done lol. But a week or two ago the girl decides to face away from me to do her RDL's while I'm squatting, and she's presenting full camel toe, from behind. now those yoga shorts must have been HUNGRY. All I know is I finished my 250 sets of BBB and got out of there.

Yeah that sounds like an accidental leering situation waiting to happen. A Brother can get suddenly "hungry" in moments like that.

Only me and 3 other guys today, we rocked out to Guns & Roses, Pearl Jam, and Megadeth. I was really pleased how well 160 x 6 moved on OHP. Felt like I had 1 to 2 more reps in the tank, so I’ll take it. Megadeth started playing when I started the close grip low rows, and even though I normally keep the weight reasonable at 160 because I try to go heavy on my upper back day early in the week and moderately lighter on this upper body day, I was really in beast mode and decided to finish with 175 and 190. Really a fun intense workout today.

When you’re on a gram of gear in a college town, it’s not even an accident! Lol

The trick is not to make it creepy or awkward, more complimentary. Which, truthfully, maybe only actually comes down to me being handsome & jacked - but the world isn’t fair I suppose

I have always felt a brutal set of ~8 well-performed rows is one of the most productive! A couple of those, where the intensity is top shelf, really seem to smash things effectively on an exercise for me.

Ha, we do get on some interesting subjects up in here.
That’s so true about that brutal set of 8….going for 10 , but on that 8th rep it’s all you can do to get the elbows back with one last roar….that’s the best sets.

Awesome man, congrats yet again!

It's really amazing to me how successful all of the regulars on AM are. I truly mean this when I say you guys are UNSTOPPABLE. You have a goal, you reach it. You hit a PR, you progress past it. It's really dang inspiring!

You, @Dustin07 @Hyde etc. Every day I see it happen and it's frankly wild!

Thanks guys…. I really do believe this AM community helps us to be better and reach or at least get closer to our goals. Not only do we encourage and cheer each other on, but the wealth of knowledge and real world experience and advice is so valuable.

That’s for sure and sometimes to just vent/talk about things all life related that everyone can relate to at some point and time.

yessir. last night I hit the driving range on my way home after squats and I asked myself what it is that keeps me accountable to prioritize lifting before hitting the range, otherwise I could just swing golf clubs every day. and I instantly thought that its AM. I have a sense of accountability to what we've have created here for sure.


btw, great benching !!
