Do you do it with the lights on?

There were so many exciting things going on today at the gym that I actually had to sit and think about what to share with you.  It was a veritable smorgasbord of idiocy :)

My favorite?

Tai Chi man - he goes into a corner of the side room at the gym, turns OFF the lights (doesn't ask, mind you) and goes through his progressions.  Already, we can tell he's a keeper!

Today, I notice him sitting at the Hammer Strength Chest Press.  

READING A NEWSPAPER.

With a People magazine at his feet.

I watch.

He reads.

I watch.

He reads.

I watch.

He reads.

Then, he puts down his paper.  My excitement builds.  He grabs hold of the handles, arches his back off the seat so far that he's almost airborne, PUSHES the handles forward while slamming his body back into the seat, returns the handles to the start position, and LEAVES.

*insert quizzical face here*

Maybe he's got no force production with the lights on....

  3. Jenn, believe it or not he was there reading the paper AGAIN on Saturday. I tried to figure out a way to be slick and take a picture with my cell phone, but my training partner wasn't there (so I couldn't pretend I was shooting her but really just aim at him). Never a dull moment in the gym (you wouldn't believe what I saw today..).

    Good to meet you as well! And very happy to make you giggle. I found your blog a while back, but somehow missed Michelle's Q&A! She pointed me to it, though :)
