Where is everyone #5

You are 100%. I been hitting the gym pretty well for 8 months. Long way to go. With that said, I normally don't talk to anyone because these reasons. I zone everything out. But can't help and notice the 22yo girl in 500.00 worth of workout cloths taking selfies and doing a nickels worth of exercise. While I'm older and do not work out the same as I did. I still recall the basics. I really wanted to go tell this young woman, that doing lat pull downs she should not look like she is riding a bull. The jerking,leaning back method is not recommended unless you want your spine fused together later in life. That is when I went back in my head and finished my leg presses. This lady had no interest in doing it properly. Non of my business. I think it's more social event for most. I'm just prolonging death.

 

If any of you folks are readers, this is an excellent one.

Seen this too. Recently

 

Other than prolonging Death, what other fitness goal do you have?

 

Loose weight, get some muscle back some what like a younger Jim, lower BP, live longer for daughter, have a healthy hobby. I feel alot better. Used to be a fit and slim guy. I never felt that I lost strength. Just lost endurance. I've put off knee surgery since high school. I've improved the stability in my left knee since I restart. I have been extremely hard on my body since a child.

I'm not stopping the BBQ and Beer.

 

That’s the primary reason I go. I feel GREAT!

(and it keeps me sane)

 

I only watched the beginning. You never bench without spotter, yet they taught us in JR how to roll the bar down off yourself.

 

Safety bars on my rack at home suck so I tend to stay sub-200 on bench and don't chance trying to squeeze in one last rep.

Incline bench helps to roll the bar off yourself so I usually set mine with a slight incline.
