I had to Google Lynx, but I found it. They call it Axe here in the states, but it's the same thing.

Lol, if you don't like sweat then do some Pilates or something instead with all the skinny women and vegetarians. After a good deadlifting session I'm dripping sweat like a fried chicken eating northern b#stard. There's no way Lynx could stop that

(P.S. I'm think I might have broken SmithMachine's record for most people offended in one post there)

I don't think I would say I can't stand it, but it does intrigue me. Almost everyday, same fun loving group of guys come in and hit the bench, and that's it. Some of them are in fantastic looking shape too. It only makes me wonder, how did they get in such good shape?

They probably do hundreds of bicep curls when they get home too, that's the best way to gain mass

holy ****. At least the guys at my gym that take up the swuat rack use barbells doing curls. It also annoys me when they do quarter squats in the squat rack.

Hmm, for me it's more like the middle aged women doing flies and tricep kick backs on the bench press. even though there are 2 other incline decline benches that they could use.

I'm assuming that's a regional thing, and I'm seriously hoping that jellied eels is a joke. I mean, I've heard how bad the food is, but that's just sick.


My gym-----umm, let's see, the new colors. OMG!!! It looks like a damn circus tent in there! They don't do anything low-rent around there. The owners hire consultants and so on, so normally when they remodel (every couple of years) it's very nice. This time, it sucks. No one likes it, and frankly, it's distracting.

Lol, Londoners eat jellied Eels do they? And rollmop Herrings? So I take it you have a perm, wear a tracksuit all day while drinking special brew and getting into fights?
Jellied Eels are a war-time food, you won't be able to buy them anywhere here now.

No we really don't, I've never even seen one let alone eaten one! It's an image made for TV and Cinema to show 'salt of the earth east Londoners' from WW2 when we couldn't fish in the sea so had to use local rivers, but is totally untrue of any time after the 1940's
It's a bit like saying all Frenchmen wear garlic round their necks and cycle everywhere.
