The secret is get polyester shorts, like basketball shorts. Not cotton or cotton mix. Yes, it breaths better than poly but it also grips against the skin/hair on your legs and that will blow them out. I use the Metal lifting shorts and they slide real nice. Never had a problem since.

poly lifting shorts FTW! feels good being able to pull em up and not have to worry about a blowout when squatting.
 
Damn cyclist gear looks ridiculous. Guy was completely decked out wearing those tight pants, tight weird plastic body suit. All he was missing is a helmet and that creepy drinking straw that goes into a bag on his back.

maybe she needed help trying to get on! lmao..

A guy curling at the squat rack. But with a 20kg plate on each end. So a 60kg curl. Not bad.
 
So this fat middle aged guy walks into the gym wearing skinny jeans and RM Williams boots, and I think to myself.

"This should be good"

So he comes outta the change rooms wearing shorts and singlet nothing special and then pulls his Inov8 runners outta his bag to jump on the rower, then the treadmill, then do some bench and some curls and push downs.....

Did not disappoint.....
 
The lankiest kunce I have ever seen, bout 6'10" at 60 to 65kg max, poor kunce, will take him 3 lifetimes to put meat on that frame.

That's impressive. I stupidly attempted a 60kg curl the other day (as I can't really clean because of the shoulder) negative.
 
Hipster training in skinny jeans...

This dude was on the opposite end of the spectrum, a plumber, came wearing a filthy blue wife beater singlet, work shorts with glue and silicone all over them, work boots and even those ankle cover sock things they wear over the boots to keep the dirt and crushed rock out of them.
WTF? Surprised they didn't tell him to change, every other kunce made an effort to wear some sort of sport attire.
 
a guy one arm rowing 35kg and then doing RDL's with 30kg (grunting hard every rep). Seriously is it that hard? (I had my novice female client doing 40kg with perfect form in silence next to him LOL)
 
Training in a commy gym the past 1.5 weeks.
- quarter squats abound. One guy was ego lifting for 6 reps. 60kg 1inch high. 100kg 3inches high. 120kg. 5inches high. 140kg. Quarte squats. Maybe 8 inches rom. Maybe. Wasn't too impressed by my balls deep 140x3. :( I think he thought "I did 6 reps, ha!" Hehe. Silly fella.
- multiple half rom benchers. The best part about this one was my 110x4@9. All paused. LOL.
- I did see three legitimate depth squatters. Two blokes with a personal training using 60kg like it weighed 300. Complete with bitch pad, and a trainer saying "now we don't want go too heavy on theses ones, just stimulate the muscle a little bit. Mean while, again, I've got 135 on the back for a lazy triple. The 3rd squatter was impressive. A young girl, lanky as fuck, repping 40kg x 12 or so, like a boss! Dare I say the best form I've seen in a commercial gym for quite sometime. She was using a slow concentric too with a nice pause in the hole...looked tough haha.
- the gym has a leaderboard. 3rm's being the name of the game. Squats were 130(that depth). Bench 112.5. Deadlift 160. Haha.
- one trainer saw my 200x3 deadlift. Pretty lazy set again. Was in disbelief, that's when he showed me the leaderboard. I declined to be added.......nice guy though.
- by far and away the best two things I saw were from the same dude. Kipling lat pull downs and some weird leg movement on the seated calf raise. I really should have filmed the calf raise business as it was so complicated I can't explain it haha. A local mate of mine and I were nearly crying....

on on the flip side of the crazy coin though, there was at least a dozen pretty ducked jacked Kunce I saw most days. Not a single squat or deadlift of flat bench was done. Total machine junkies...and totally massive! One guy had to be 120kg, 5'10" and with abs he insisted on making sure we're still there every set. Crazy jacked.
