Pain - in more ways than one
Today was to be shoulder day. All was well and then my left shoulder gave out on me. Wow the pain was shooting through me and not the good kind after a tough workout. So then I decided to do abs.
Before I go into detail on my workout. There’s this guy who I just started seeing come into the gym a couple of weeks. You know he is there because you can hear him grunting. Now I have no problem with grunters if they are working hard and heavy and need it to heave the iron. But just as I’m finishing shoulders I hear him grunting and I look over, and he is doing leg curls with 30 pounds! WTF!!! Alright, whatever then I go to the open area of the gym (the farthest south side) to do my abs. A few minutes later, I hear him grunting again. On the treadmill on the far north side wall!!! Anyways, I finish up, go hit the showers, and get ready for work. As I am dressing, I can hear him coming. There are 2 doors you have to open to get to the locker room and after he opens each door there is this huge grunt like it was the hardest thing he could possibly do. Believe me I couldnt get out of there fast enough LOL

Hee, that’s why I always have my iPod - it’s a great way to not hear the grunters!
