    Racking dumbbells in the wrong spot is worse than leaving them on the floor. You're going through the motions and fucking shit up even worse just so you don't look like a lazy asshole but you're still being one.

    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.

    Really mediocre meal at Stanley’s sadly. Mushy ribs and jala chz sausage was super meh. They have 3 options for brisket: lean, moist, barky. Hell yes give me barky. Brisket was very good. They threw in some potato salad that had a jalapeño kick and was also good.

    "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.

    Why do people bring their phones, and use the ear-bud things to make calls, and talk really loudly so the rest of us can hear the one side of the conversation?

    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.

     

  4. 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.

    Don’t get the mask people at gyms. If
    You are that scared you probably shouldn’t be at the gym in the first place touching everything

    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.

  6. 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. 

  7. 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.

    Any of you follow Robert Frank on Instagram? He's been killing it since the gyms have closed down.

    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.

    Only positive posts please”

    Comments on texags about their lackluster baseball games this weekend.  

    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.

  10. 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.

    So aggie and their savior MBB coach are getting housed by Gonzaga in Reed. All things considered, that’s not a terrible situation. Third game of his tenure and all

    texags is already turning on him

    Admon Gilder leading Gonzaga with 16 points, 7 rebounds is just icing on the cake.

  12. 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.

    A lot of the power racks are actually Smith machines.

    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.

    I don't get the hate or shitty comments.   In 20 years I've belonged to tons of different gyms in Houston, NYC, and SA.  24hour, Golds, the Y, NYSC, Equinox, Lifetime, and Planet Fitness to name a few   Like Tom said.  It's big and its clean.  It has what 90% of the exercising public needs unless you need lots of free weights or you're a man that wears yoga pants, and a skull cap to work out and you enjoy high fiving other men at the gym.     Unless you are a body builder most people don't need to spend more than 30-40 mins in the gym per session.

    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.
