For Crying Out Loud

[necia]

I worked my back today in the gym. I head to a flat bench, near the dumbells so that I can get in my last exercise of the day, which happens to be 1 Arm Rows. Would someone please explain to me why there is a group of men, 5 to be exact hovering near the db's and adjustable benches dowoping. For those that don't know dowoping was a form of music popular in the 30's and 40's. I knew weight training involved a lot of mind power, but damn. How am I expected to focus with a group of men singing? I thought I was at an American Idol Audition!

Tell me about it. They could've took their crying game over to the cardio machines at least.

It is fun! This singing style goes way, way back and is based on harmonies. However, the result depends on the talent and the place. The gym is hardly the place ... the street corner is.

Were they any good?

Did they do Blue Moon or Book of Love?

That actually sounds sorta fun! At my gym i've got 3 guys who make James Brown noises during their workout -- and interestingly since they've been workign out together, they actually seem to be getting smaller ...

And then there's my trainer - who is making up posing routines while he's waiting for you to finish your set. He's break dancing & front double bi'ing across the floor all day.

It's funny to the point I wanted to cry. However, they weren't working out AT ALL. They could've been between sets, but geesh.

If there's someone one or near the equipment I want to use, whether they are sittign or actually training, I'll ask first how many sets they have left & then if I can work in with them.

If these guys first asked if you can sing tenor, then I guess they were seriously doowapping.....

If not, I'd tell em to take it to the karaoke bar down the street cuz I've got some sets to do!

My husband is now thinking of joining my gym (he's an audio engineer/producer). He said it sounds like there may be some raw untapped talent there that might make him some money. Lolololololol.

that's not an uncommon thing. atleast when i'm around. the gym and the bar get to hear the JB wails from time to time.

Wow, looks like I have a lot to get used to. I can't wait until Monday, when my mp3 player gets here.
