WEll, it certainly didn't "piss me off" but I was certainly amused:
I saw a kid yesterday at the gym doing flat bench press (BB), yes, benching with wrist straps wrapped around the barbell.
I guess that was just to make sure if he pushed too hard it wouldn't go flying off into space!
I got a good chuckle. But hey, if he wants to wrap them around his balls when he squats, it's his choice. Doesn't affect me.
