What Are Your Gym/Fitness/Routine Moans?

Exactly. I just stare at men's biceps and wear purple string vest and dick print tapered tracksuit bottoms.

Yet purple is Japans national colour and did you know that pink used to be a mans colour as blue (im assuming powdery blue) was considered femanine

I use my phone a lot. It has my music, I have set rest periods, the phone is irrelevant to these.

[Digger]

I can't be the only one who feels a tad 'guilty' during some rest periods when you suddenly realise that you think you have no imagination to come up with a secondary exercise so you can superset. . . so errrrr. . . yep, may as well whip out the phone

You have taken this very personally!

You are quite correct in that muscles need to be worked to grow.
But perfect form is not just doing this. The shape of your back on a bench press, a squat from the correct angle, a deadlift with the shoulders pulled back just right, not locking joints out in certain lifts etc etc. These will help you get towards perfect form, but they are mainly there to help you not hurt yourself.
hen there is the full rom, using the correct weight etc, If you dont do this, ou will still develop, just not as fast.

There's a guy in the gym I go to who arches forwards on deadlift, does a few inches movement on chest press, in fact I can't think of any exercise he does do correctly. He's been doing it for 5 years or so, and is actually quite big now. Not having perfect form didn't stop him, it just slowed him.

At my place, VA Twickenham, there's a new guy that started recently.

Last week when I arrived he was using the following:

Flat Bench & Barbell
Barbell Plus 4 sets of DBs on the floor next to the mirror/bench
40cm Box, vertical, for his water bottle and filofax
Another Barbell behind the box.
More dumbells. Kettlebells.

It wasn't manic busy, but seriously?!

I assumed people had left st out so just started using the barbell on the floor, having kicked the DBs out of the way. It was only when he wandered over and started curling said DBs that I realised what was going on.

The box things seems to be a constant too - it's dragged round the gym like a table for his drink and book.

Bit of an over reaction? I'd say she's quite attractive TBH

Yeah, give her a good Christmas feed, wash the gravy browning off and she would look great, she is competing there and that is what the discipline requires, she will have been eating sod all, the rest of the time, she will look slim but more normal, like that look or not, you have to admire the dedication.

I thought she didn't look too bad, too. At least compared to some of the worst 'man-face' 'female' bodybuilders. Let's not forget that this woman is pumped up and has tan and oil all over her body, which accentuates even the smallest of definition. I'd wager that out of competition, she would look quite normal, just a very well toned woman.

Abs out dressed for the swimming pool, got to be Burwood surely!

This is PH dude, where a lot of people aren't capable of expressing a negative opinion without taking it to the extreme, or indeed even just shutting the f*ck up if they can't think of a half civil way of articulating their thoughts.

In matters such as this I've always considered Cory Everson as the standard.

I'e always liked Louise Rogers (I think old man Grover first mentioned her here)

My current crush is Cass Martin

Case Martin is looking good, you're not wrong
