lol owned

I was at the gym today. It was chest and biceps day. I went to the bench to press.

Now usually I'm almost never judgmental when it comes to the gym; people that do not lift as much and stuff, well everyone has to start somewhere. I was once that person starting with nothing at all on the bar, and am appreciative of the fact that I go to a pretty friendly gym, unlike stories of cockier gyms out there.

But this time, these two teens caught my eye. They were rather scrawny, probably Woodlands students working out on their lunch period. They were on the bench beside me, and had tens on each side of the bar. As I was lifting, out of my peripheral I noticed that the guy was going up and down seriously fast. Trying not to be distracted, I finished my set and sat back up, at the same time sort of looking to see what they were up to next.

They took the tens off and immediately loaded up the 45s. I sort of saw where this was going, but didn't really think it would go there because I've never seen it happen before. Wanting to go onto my next set yet thinking I shouldn't in case of the rather strong distraction that it would be, I waited for them to start their set, see what happens.

The guy, same guy who mowed through the ten-pounds rapidly, went back on the bench. His friend was just standing there from afar, not even in a ready position. The guy then lifted the bar. It sunk right down to his chest like an anchor at sea. Some other guy working the incline bench and I went to lift the bar off. The two teens i never saw again that day.

Good thing I had Ray when I started =D
