finally dragged my sled today!

[bignate73]

that was fricken fun!! you should have seen the weird looks i got from people at my twinky ass gym. some strange comments and looks from people going to the christian bookstore next door too. sarcastic "oh looks like fun". some of my retorts: "im tired of the easy stuff." "theres no crowd out here." "i felt like having fun". a couple older ladies were watching for while and said "we could have him pull our car." i heard them and just smiled...they dont know i like to push cars too. hehehe.

hehehe. i did some:
rows
straight arm pulls
chest presses
ankle drags (both ways) these were particularly fun.

one of my more pleasant retorts to someone who kindof knew about sleds was "this is my secret weapon, the people in here dont know about it".

all i could think of when ankle dragging was "i cant wait to pull 400."

I get some strange looks too Actually, I think some people are laughing at me too. Doesn't bother me a bit. They won't be laughing when I'm the one getting stronger and they are not

Where did you do it? The parking lot?

Bingo.

It bothers puttinbuttin when people are laughing at us in the gym. I could care less.

I put more than twenty pounds on my bench and more than forty pounds on my squat and deadlift in nine weeks doing the things that they are laughing at us for doing.

Speaking of, I really have to get a sled.

yeah i get laughed at all the time. when i walk into the gym with my bands everyone stares, stops talking, looks down. then when i walk by, i see them looking at me in the mirror and laughing.....i wonder what their talking about???

well for the first time ever yesterday, i was setting up my bands for squat and someone actually came over and asked what they were for.

i was so shocked that i too 10 minutes to talk to him about it, and wsb and everything else. i shook his hand and told him thank you for asking instead of lauging first. i even go him to pick and walk out and do 1 box squat with nothing but the bar and 300lbs of band tension........... he wobbled everywhere, but when he see's me squating and with low weight, he'll understand. thats my speed day, and i got some respect.

i know, to be honest, i was intimidated at doing it at my gym. basically i didnt know where i could do it and not feel uncomfortable. now, i'd drag it in the middle of the freeway....well not really but you get the idea.

Where did you do it? The parking lot?

yep. i have my own weight plates so i grabbed a 45,25 and a 10 and went to town. im dragging again today, but really light ankle drags.

exaaaactly!

im a real man...so of course...i'll never tell.

i see them looking at me in the mirror and laughing.....

i get the feeling i am on the receiving end of that too, especially on speed bench day. here i am loading up 170 on the bar and slamming it up for a "big set of 3"....over and over and over...hehe. ah well.

That rocks man. They won't be laughing for long, when you're a fucking house and they're still struggling at being 170 lb noodles.
