  1. Getting stabbed in the butt is now somebody's #1 gym pet peeve.
  2. I've had to rearrange dumbbells twice this week and I never have to do that. The backpack/gym bag guys are suddenly all over the gym. They actually strap on the backpack to go to the next exercise. I've yet to see a tripod though. I blame the people taking vacation and the college boys home for the semester break. It should gradually get back to normal.
  3. Thanks for including your email address in the signature line of the email you just sent me.
  4. "Shaw" was the guy who was cooking ribs back when they started winning the Texas Monthly best ribs awards. Shaw isn't there any more. This review of Stanley's is the least surprising thing I will read today.
  5. I think the next time I have to meet the ex son in law in Marshall for my grandkids' weekend with him I will drive by the HS baseball field just for old times sake....it's the only town I've ever played in where there was a 100% chance of rocks being thrown at our bus on the way out of town.
  6. I can see Bodacious-Mobberly going from top 5 to not top 50. i
  7. For those talking about Bodacious and JJ. https://www.texasmonthly.com/tag/jordan-jackson/
  8. 1.) they want the person on the phone to ask them what they are doing so they can say "working out". 2.) It's a gym. When you suck at doing gym-stuff, you do non-gym stuff.
  9. It's that time of the year when the crowded parking lot gives you a moment of dread, but then you see they are mostly on the treadmills/ellipticals. Hoodie guy, with the hood up randomly faced the mirror and "hulked out" (the most muscular pose). I'm not exactly sure what he was expecting to see. His face? The gym will always have interesting characters.
  10. My 80 yr old dad answers them in a voice that is a combo of Gomer Pyle/Forrest Gump. It's quite entertaining.
  11. When you get a facetime call from your daughter in the middle of a work day and the first thing you hear is your fussy 17 month old grandson.....and then he sees you on the screen and becomes the happiest little turd nugget in the world.
  12. Talked to the new manager at my gym yesterday. He gets calls daily from folks asking to freeze their account for another month or refund them for June. They are scared to come in.
  13. Yep. At Anytime, 2 of the 3 restrooms are single person shower/toilet/sink combos. I can stand in front of the sink and wash and rinse myself. I can use the toilet 5 feet away. But the shower is off limits.
  14. Monday: 4-5 people were working out. No gloves. Everybody wiping everything down before and after. Wednesday: 9-10 people working out. No gloves. I was the only one who ever touched a wipe. New manager needs to find out how to turn on the sound system. Way too quiet.
  15. Louisiana gyms open tomorrow. Texas on Monday.
  16. Today is Saturday, International Arm Day.......so yes. I've been following him there and twitter for awhile. A while back he was bouncing back and forth between platforms because he kept getting his accounts locked. He can be hilarious.
  17. I was going to guess you went back to Ribmasters.
  18. Crunch Fitness opening up has taken away a lot of people from where I work out. Thank you Crunch!!
  19. The WTF look on the faces of UCLA fans when they sang about sawing Varsity's horns off before the game last night in Frisco was priceless.
  20. I've seen an uptick in the lunch crowd. It's been better since the holidays ended, will probably get better once the college kids all go back to school and it will be back to normal around Feb.1. Pulling into the parking lot, I think "oh crap this is going to be a nightmare", but notice that all of the cardio equipment has someone on it and the rest of the gym is okay. The early morning weekend crowd has definitely thinned out as far as people who lift.
  21. Wednesday I got to witness concentration curls in the squat rack. The least surprising part of that was it was an aggy.
  22. Admon Gilder leading Gonzaga with 16 points, 7 rebounds is just icing on the cake.
  23. internet meme comes to life. I was the only one in the gym, until newbie guy walks in followed by the "personal trainer". In a matter of 50 minutes, he and his trainee combined for at least 125 "bros". I really need to invest in some headphones.
  24. Well that jacks up my post.. Went back to the virtual tour and all 5 were smith machines. Need to wake up fully before posting.
  25. I will have to walk back some of my implied criticism of PF and chalk it up to following the crowd and memes when it comes to equipment. I went online and did a virtual tour of the one closest to me. There were at least 5 power racks and what appeared to be 2 sets (of each lb) of dumbbells with another 7 or 8 adjustable benches in that area. It's not convenient to where I live and is across town from where I work so there is still no chance I switch, but lack of equipment is not an issue.
