Scott’s Rants and Blog

Seriously I did a killer Quad workout and calves workout (I can barely sit here at work) and then I walked over to the old crunch machine.  Started on my first set of 35 and half way through it some guy walked up and got on the machine next to me and started going as fast as possible and grunting like he was well we won’t go into that.  I just find it funny that people have to make loud noises like it proves they are working hard.  But back to abs.  I got through my third set and they were starting to hurt a little and then I started set 4 and got halfway and then it happened that little twinge that turns into that full blown cramp that takes hours to go away.  Well that was at 3 pm and it is 8 and it finally does not hurt any more.  Good day at the gym again.  Peace….

I always find it funny whenever I go back into my normal gym after working out at the company facility and normally being the only one there using it to seeing a lot of people at one of the pretty mainstream gyms.  I always get a chuckle out of the guys that bring their girls into the gym in tight little shirts and shorts to show that they are "studs" and get a hot girl and then they cannot even throw up 100’s on DB bench.  I mean if you are going to preen and strut in front of her and others in your little group standing around then at least do more then 70’s for 5 reps.  I love it I position myself where the girlfriend can see me lifting and grab 150’s and rep out 8 and let the weight hit the floor hard.  Am I showing off for her.  Nah just showing her what true training is.  It is me fully covered in a sweat shirt and sweat pants and a wool beenie on my head sweating my brains out lifting weights and enjoying the pain I am going through.

Hmmm I guess I need to quit ranting against them.  They do make up the majority of people that have gym memberships.

Did a shoulder workout today and damn if I am not sore as hell 3 hours later.  I read the shoulder training article by Charles Glass in FLEX for shoulders and decided to give it a shot.  Works pretty well and will be a staple in my routine for many moons to come. Hope all of you are training hard and attaining your goals.  Peace.
