Welcome…

So I’m at the gym today, working on trying to develop some form of a lat spread and thinking of creative ways to damage my shoulders, and all is good with the world.  Paradise City is on it’s third replay on the MP3 because it just freaking sounds good today.  Got the dumbbells moving, the lower back is healing up nicely, and in walks Vinnie Jabroni.  Vinnie’s been mentioned several times before in my blogs, though I just made his name up today.  He’s one of those guys who dances to the music between sets, and can’t perform an exercise any more than 4 feet from the nearest mirror!  Whenever we see each other in the gym, there are stare-downs, extra flexing and posing, typical man-stuff.  We stop shy of peeing on the equipment, but you get my point.  So Vinnie’s working arm curls in the corner, stopping just shy of kissing his bicep on every rep, I’m hitting shoulder raises…up to parallel…look over Vinnie, it’s the iron cross…check it focker…perfect form, perfect in every way…
And then it happened – the might mighty air force kicked it into high gear!  I look over between sets, and there are four people huddled around a bench, with the a variety of dumbbells on the floor, and they are doing some form of chest press / fly / pullover thing that just looks awkward, but apparently warmed the cockles of their hulkitude.  So in between sets, two of the dudes get up, and in an act that apparently was meant to signal their pleasure with their exercisitational abilities, broke into the club dance scene from Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion!  I shit you not!  Right there in the hallowed halls of the House of Pain, they start bouncing around, touching feet, the whole scene!  I was floored!  A little disturbed that I remember that movie, but more disturbed that they knew the dance steps!  All we needed was a big male hug and I would have yammied right there on the floor. 
After that, the last set was a blur…I couldn’t focus, couldn’t even hear the music in my ears, I could only remember the scene played out in front of me…so very disturbing…
