Oh i almost forgot

One time i was watching 2 pakistani guys working out together. One guy was spotting his mate on the decline bench. The guy lifting was overweight with a huge kebab belly. His mate spotting had seen enough as he was lifting the weight quite easy and had no reason to be watching him. He went to the other side of the gym and left his mate. The guy doing decline finnished his set and tried to get up..... tried again..... and again.... and, well you get the point

I sat their laughing for 5 mins, he gave up eventually and just lay there for his mate to come back and help him up

Was i wrong in not helping him?

lol

Actually I Jest, my belly is perfectly reasonable. Problem is when you turn 30, your body develops stores for any excess food that simply wasn't there before: they're called love handles!

No, can't think of a better time either.

Choice of machines, can set the aircon to my preferred temp, nobody hogging the machines and can change the TVs in the CV room to Discovery, National Geo etc instead of crappy lifestyle buy a house programmes or crap about people having children.
Sadly my no frills Gym doesn't feature individual screens. At less than 100 quid a year I'm not complaining though.

There are chains of these no-frills ie pay for a shower but high quality gyms across much of Europe. A friend in Hannover pays Euro 95 a year for his. I reckon they rely on a high number of drop outs attracted by the initial low cost and low/no sign up fees.
It's very busy most of the time with a minimum of 30 people working out at any one time. As they have 20 treadmills and a similar number of rowing, cycling and cross trainers it isn't really a problem but getting a quiet work out is an impossibility. One bonus is that it's full of young women however who mostly seem to be tall and blonde.

See that ALL the time, and you'll notice only skinny blokes do it, really well-built ones don't.

PMSL at the "walking with arms stuck out" observation - what I like to call the "ten men" stance. :lol2:
