What Are Your Gym/Fitness/Routine Moans?

Perhaps it's an age thing, but I wouldn't consider entering the gym without freshly laundered kit and leaving without taking a shower (never barefoot - use flip-flops).
What do you do then, leave the sweaty kit and damp towel in your gymbag in the car boot overnight and all day for days at a time to mature? Poo!
Go home, take off and shower.What do you do then, leave the sweaty kit and damp towel in your gymbag in the car boot overnight and all day for days at a time to mature? Poo!
BTW this is how far I have to go
And its not really a proper gym otherwise I most likely would.

I always had him down as a Simply Red fan.Warnie said:
Do you know what a superset is? You certainly don't superset squats with bench press.
A superset is about hitting the same muscle at 2 different areas/angles. As for worrying about hogging the machine/bench whilst resting, then don't. Just concentrate on recovering and getting your mind and muscle connection ready for the next set.
I always thought a superset is about hitting different muscle groups. So you superset tricep pull downs with bicep curls or leg extensions with leg curls?A superset is about hitting the same muscle at 2 different areas/angles.

For what it's worth, I've always viewed supersets as utilising antagonistic muscle groups.
Same here.Feels entirely different to training the same muscle with different exercises (why's that a 'superset'? Surely that's just intensity variance
) and circuit training is how you describe training different muscle groups without rest, generally.Halb said:
A superset for me is choccy bar in left hand, and cake in right hand.
If both types of confectionary are basically the same, i.e. chocolate, then it's not a superset it's just greed. If you had chocolate in one hand and fudge in the other and ate them without pause then you'd be supersetting. Maybe.
Did something abit stupid today. Used one of the racks for squats & bench. I go there and someone had 60kg on each side (3x20kg). Instead of doing the sensible thing and taking off the weights evenly on each side, i remove all of them from one side. Soon as that happens the bar smacks to the floor on the opposite side. Thankfully the nearest person was a good 10metres away. They probably thought I was a massive idiot. 
Not that stupid. I can deload a whole side without it lifting on the one I use, the holds are very far apart, inch from the rollers.
It is a squat rack, for some strange reason this gym doesn't have a flat 'benching' bench. So the adjustable ones need to be wheeled into the squat rack, not great but hey ho.
