Interrupting a Work Out
I was going to write this post about interrupting people while they are in the process of lifting heavy weights…and I thought I had my complaint nailed down. Then something completely bizarre happened. This guy was doing the hack squat machine (backwards). If you don’t know what that is, it’s when your standing at an incline, and your back is fully supported and you squat. Guys sometimes do it backwards, with their chest against the support. So this guy is pressing about 250 lbs this way, and some Amazon Woman comes up, and rests her chest on the top part of the machine. You have to picture a 6′4″ woman (not attractive), with DD’s hanging over the top, so when the guy comes up from his squat, his head is about an inch away from her breasts.
Interrupting someone while they are doing any sort of weight training is idiotic. This was just plain stupid.
The most embarrassing part for her, was that the guy shut his eyes once she did this. If it were my chest, he would’ve kept them open.

It’s amazing how many unbelievably stupid, foolhardy and plain irritating things take place, pretty much each and every day at gyms around the world. As a 20-year gym veteran I’d become so jaded by the things I saw around me - and of course each gym ‘newbie’ makes the same fatal mistakes - that I was drawn to write a big rant about it that you might find of interest/amusement. :)
