i'll make them feel inferior b/c i bench 65 lbs??!! haha. i don't think i'd ever date a guy who couldn't bench more than that. but i gave up guys for lent so i don't have to worry about that right now.lol.
I went to the Y and that is def not my kind of place. there were 3 benches, only one of those was an incline so i had to wait to use it. no squat racks. 2 ez bars. but the place was huge! just a bunch of people on cardio machines.

but i did manage to get something done. I wanted to do back but there wasn't anything to use for it. oh yea! and there was only 1 set of weights for every level like 1 set of 30s 1 set of 35s. it was crazy! and i had to wait for this guy toget done with the 25s he was using for shrugs so i could do my db presses.lol. and he was a normal looking college dude too. i was like 'why are you doing shrugs with 50lbs???' lol oh well i didn't actually say anything.
and then i was working out with the girl who brought me and she doesn't know anything about lifting but i played soccer with her and so she's not super-weak or anything and i was benching 65 and i asked her if she wanted to give it a try so i spotted her and she could only press it once and we were both laughing about it and some guy comes over and is like. "that's too heavy for you. you should start with the bar and add weight and you should never add weight until you can do it 10 times." i was like 'what?!' like he's right that you should start low and add weight but it's not like it killed her and she prob could have pressed it again and i was spotting her and what is with this '10 times' nonsense. i can't press 75 10 times but i use it all the time and lots of guys push heavy weights that they can't do 10 reps with so that was just crazy and i was thinking 'who are you to come over here and give bad advice??!!' i hate it when people do that.
I know that that was not my kind of place. like in my gym here at school no one ever notices me or bothers me and everyone just does there thing but there i got talked to so much and i was like "what?what?! shut up! leave me alone! can't you see i'm working??"lol.
and when i was doing db presses with 25lbs a man and a woman and different times saw me and were all like 'woah' and i was like holy crap if you can't do this you're crazy. but everyone there seemed really weak like the shrug guy and the advice guy went back to do 35lb preacher curls IN GLOVES!!! what a nerd. and this woman beside me did db presses with 12lbs. but by then i was just happy someone was doing a regular exercise and not all this lame machine stuff. i didn't like all the machines and there was so much cardio equipment! it was crazy! like 12 treadmills and that many bikes and stepper things and i don't even know what. and 3 mats to do cruches on which was weird and there was this fat woman on one on her back flopped over a ball and i thought for sure she was dead but then she rolled off and kinda tumbled onto the mat.lol.
plus in my gym there are no fat people. like we've got some linemen that are pretty big but they can also push a lot of weight. there were so many fat people there. and people with matching outfits and girls in those tight capris and little tops and i'm like, i know for real that you can't possibly get serious in that, they're all just trying to look good. i don't think you should be trying to look all hot at the gym. just do your think ya know? ok well not my place, but here's what i managed to get done.
flat bench 4x8-65
flat flys 4x8-12
ran 1/4 mile with the girl
flat db press 4x8-25
incline db press 4x8-15
skull crushers 4x8-25
it was not what i wanted to do but it was a mess it there. sucked. never going back.lol
today i couldn't lift 5th period. i dunno if it'll be open 8th but i really want to do my back workout this week even though it's been crazy and i haven't been able to follow my schedule at all. can't wait till next week when everything goes back to normal!
oh yea. and i'm dressing up all week because i ran out of laundry. hahahaha. oh well it's true. but i have gotten hit on way more than usual, so i guess it was an ego boost too!lol
