Hilarious...
Not that many people go on it except the personal trainers that work there etc, I seen an advert for something similiar on a teleshopping program once when I was goin through the channels, instantly thought I'd never use it.

I got another funny gym story about my idiot self. Well it didn't really happen in the gym. Anyway, I gotten a new bike, and I was very excited to try it out. So I put it together and started riding down the streets. For some odd reason, I found it very hard to turn, and not only that the wheels hit my foot whenever I try to turn. Also it was extremely hard to peddle because the break pads rubbed against the tires. So I kept it like this for about a week before I realized I put the entire front tire on backwards. Once I corrected the problem it became incredibly easier to ride and I can turn without worrying about the tires hitting my foot.

Your posts "stand out" so to speak because of the unusual font.

You're a lucky guy then SM, I've seen all type of stuff from curls to press ups to lateral raises.
I have thought about misusing it by shagging the receptionist in there though

Last week I saw two guys swapping out while curling in the squat rack...and I kid you not, with one 5 lb weight on each end. The barbells were no less than 4 feet behind them.

The other day I was watching a couple of dudes who are heavier than me squat 20 lbs more than me...terribly. I say this because the only reason they were squatting that weight is to try to show they were stronger than me...which failed miserably. I'm sure they walked out of the gym patting eachother on the ass

One thing that makes people at the gym laugh, but is not funny, is the terrible malady known as Imaginary Lat Syndrome. ILS, as it is commonly known, affects men from all walks of life.
Symptoms of ILS include:
1. Upper arms parallel to the ground, as if the sufferer's latissimus dorsi muscles were a foot wide.
2. Uncontrolled wearing of "poser" pants, wife beater t-shirts, and bandanas.
3. Generally red, contorted face, even when curling with pastel-colored dumbbells.
4. 55 gallon drum for water " 'Cause I gotta stay hydrated, bro. YEAAHHH!!!"
5. Labored breathing, generally caused by PCS (Puffed Chest Syndrome), which too often strikes in conjunction with ILS.
6. Frequent reference to Mr. Olympia and other body building competitions that the sufferer either won or should have won, if it weren't for petty politics, racism, or the fact that he "refuses to kiss a**"
The only cure for ILS is to either actually grow sizable lats, which requires a lot of discipline, hard work, etc., or else, smack that fool upside the head with reality.
This public service message has been brought to you at taxpayer expense.
