During my workout today, I went to the pectoral fly machines.\u00a0 One of them had a towel draped around it, a notebook, and a big gallon jug of water next to it, but naturally, no actual person on the machine.\u00a0 The other one was occupied by a black guy wearing a t-shirt with the Easter candy Peeps on it.\u00a0 Fine, I can roll with the punches, and so I moved on to other things:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This took me about 15 minutes to accomplish. Afterward, I went back to the pectoral fly machines, and thankfully Walgreens moved his store off of machine, leaving it finally vacant for me to use.\u00a0 However, Mr. Where My Peeps At shirt guy, was\u00a0still<\/em>\u00a0on his pectoral fly machine.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t really matter how much time he was on prior to the first time I saw him, but the fact that he was spending anywhere close to an entire 30-minute stretch of time, on one machine, doing the exact same lift over and over again, is absolutely absurd.<\/span><\/p>\n And it\u2019s not like he was alternating between pectoral fly and rear deltoids, since this machine was designed to be able to exercise both; he was just doing sets of pectoral fly, over and over and over again.\u00a0 In fact, by the time I finished my three sets of fly, and three sets of deltoids, he was still sitting there, on yet another five minute rest in between sets of fly.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not like I\u2019m trying to sound like the curlbro-meathead that clearly knows everything about working out (clearly, that\u2019s not the case), but I can definitively say that what this bonehead is doing is completely and utterly wrong, pointless, and probably detrimental.\u00a0 He was lifting a little bit more weight than I was, but he was doing such fast and un-extended reps, that it wasn\u2019t doing him any good.\u00a0 Furthermore, too much rest simply isn\u2019t good, and in the time I took to do six sets, he accomplished just two of his own.\u00a0 The fact that he had no definition in his chest, and his arms were pretty flimsy leads me to believe that one, he has no clue what he\u2019s doing, and two, has a primary focus on getting a defined chest and torso.<\/span><\/p>\n This scene from\u00a0Maniac Mansion<\/em>\u00a0succinctly describes the mentality guys like Where My Peeps At have when it comes to working out.\u00a0 They seem to believe that every machine is the Hunk-O-Matic, and by using it repeatedly and exclusively, they can instantaneously turn that muscle group into rock hard muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During my workout today, I went to the pectoral fly machines.\u00a0 One of them had a towel draped around it, a notebook, and a big gallon jug of water next to it, but naturally, no actual person on the machine.\u00a0 The other one was occupied by a black guy wearing a t-shirt with the Easter … Continue reading How people work out at my gym\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,109,129,15,19,49],"class_list":["post-33324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-fail","tag-gym","tag-nostalgia","tag-og","tag-video-games","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33324"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33326,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33324\/revisions\/33326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
