Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below We have this one guy and he has a decent size legs - he loads up the press with some crazy amount of plates - does 1 rep and leaves!!! with all that shit loaded.. one time as he was leaving, my trainer (this huuge chic) is like "dude, wtf, you got to clean up your stuff" - so he came back and took a couple of plates off. Stupid ass - I like my workouts, but unloading 20 plates of the press aint that much fun.

If she's doing it cause she thinks she's "somethin" I agree. However, please don't eliminate the possibility that she may have just had eye surgery too (in which case she might NOT should be excersising due to increased blood pressure to the eye during heavy exertion). I worked with a guy who believe it or not (long story) had a fork stuck right in his eye. I drove him to the hospital and after being stuck in a dark room for a full year without being able to read, watch TV, or anything that involved the use of his eyes, he was able to start a regular life again but he had to wear dark sunglasses indoors, and out for a full year after that (yes there were alot of Ray Charles jokes). Thankfully he now has fully recovered but was VERY close to loosing his eye due to the injury. That year in a dark room though must have been brutal he gained like 60 lbs that year doing nothing but eating and listening to music.
I see fruitcakes wearing sunglasses inside too sometimes and I think..."what an idiot..." then I remember this guy and I give them some slack in case I should be feeling sorry for them instead. I can't imagine going through what he did.
Just a point of note, not trying to crap on you opinion Daisy.

HIIT
At the advice of some of the people on this board I have started to implement a HIIT a few times a week. My favorite way of doing it is on the elliptical... Heres the problem:
1. I notice that when people walk up and see me going full throttle, they think Im some idiot that doesnt know what fat burning is.
2. Those that see me during my slower minute think Im some kind of sweatbucket that cant handle a leisurely stroll.
3. Those that hop on a machine next to me give me that stare out of the corner of their eyes like WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
Of course, the hard truth is no one probably gives a shit what Im doing on the elliptical at 7am.

Well, here's a story about me making a mistake in the gym:
I dropped the bar on my face today while benching 100 pounds.
Some guy ran over and helped get it off of me.
I was being stupidly stubborn...it was the tenth rep of my second set. I'd already had to bail on the tenth rep of my first set...then it was tough for the eighth on the second, REALLY tough on the ninth...I don't know what the heck I was thinking. I guess I just thought that I'd have to bail, but would be able to make it to the pegs, at least. I've never not been able to get it to the pegs, no matter how hard it felt. I guess that's going to failure, eh? Not smart, without a spotter. (My chin hurts.)

No worries....I thought of that the first few times I saw her...thought maybe she needs them for some reason.
But she is also the girl wearing full-on makeup, fancy hair, and complete matching outfit. And no sweat...ever.
I'm thinkin' on her, they are for looks.

Re: HIIT
Just started doing HIIT on eliptical too, and I feel the same way.
Maybe they look at me like a Jan. kid too
Recently I saw this guy doing these weird looking jumping jack things with a barbell. He would start with his legs together and the bar at his waist, then would jump and spread his legs while lifting the bar at the same time, but only by bending his elbows (while grunting). Not sure if it's some kind of legit exercise that he might have learned in college or the army, but it looked odd to me.
