Well, Miss Judgy Pants, there is only 1 squat rack in my gym and it was being used last night. I actually prefer the rack over the machine anyway, because I DO feel like I'm doing more of the work, instead of the machine.
I will wait for the squat rack, and even ask the user when they are going to be done. Get out of my squat rack!!!
What do you do while you're waiting?
Sit and stare at them, to make them uncomfortable. LOL, JK!
I will do the other lifts in my program, if I don't think they're going to be long. If I get done with those and they are still in the squat rack, I then ask them how much longer they are going to be. They have ALWAYS left when I asked that so far.0 -
Ugh, seriously??? Sounds like you're hanging in there. Good for you.thank you all for the thoughts, it's appreciated
i realized after three days of heavy sobbing, much grief bacon, and large quantities of alcohol, that me "taking a break" was really just giving me more time to focus on him, and my misery and disappointment. so i figured might as well try to chat with some ppls, and find a little distraction.
*post date update*
ok, went out with a dude last night.
full disclosure, i'd already had a few beverages, so i walked (trying to be a more responsible person, kinda) to a nearby bar to say hello. now dude was the one that suggested meeting up for beverages. ok, i have no problem with that (obviously). but then he didn't actually drink. was fine serving them to me, but stuck with soda for himself. even my lil drunken brain tabbed that as slightly strange.
spent about two hours chatting, dude seemed nice, but a large chunk of his conversation had all to do with his "nylons and high heels" fetish. and how he likes to be "teased." i would like to think i'm pretty open minded, but dude, this is the first time i'm meeting you, chill. but of course me being me, i was like dude, that's fine and all but i'm a total jeans and tshirt kinda girl, you're in for a world of disappointment.
he then went on to let me know that that's totally ok, but he would just expect a few little things here and there for his enjoyment. yeah...
left the bar and walked him out to his truck, where he then tried to have sex with me.
yeah, not so much. disengaged from the situation and despite the offer for a ride (pun not intended but it does work so well!) and a request to come back to my place, i declined and walked home.
bleh.
Time for this again:

@KylerJaye I hope you seriously kicked that frog to the curb and down the storm drain. Dude has no couth or respect for anyone but himself. Sorry you had to come in contact with that person. I hope copious amounts of antibacterial were used after you talked to him. Possibly even a shower.0

So there is a pretty major wildfire near my house. Luckily we have the river between our house and the fire. A coworker, however, had to evacuate yesterday and may lose his home. I've been thinking of, and praying for, him all day. His name is Dave, if anyone wants to chip in.0

Went to see sister. She was up and about and looking completely normal. I thought she'd have a patch or something, but even her bad eye looks ok. I made her sit down and she promised she wasn't going to do anything more than get up to the bathroom for the rest of the day. She still has to have 2 weeks of complete rest and 6 weeks off work, but doesn't have to do the head forward thing (because of having oil rather than gel bubble), so that makes it a lot easier to deal with. She will have to have another surgery down the line to remove the oil, but she already has a bit of vision back that she'd lost, so that's encouraging, although she said it's quite blurry. I guess time will tell, but right now it's looking more encouraging.
Thanks for your continued support. It means a lot. xxxxxx
(Also, fun fact: she had this surgery done with local anesthetics etc, and she said she wasn't freaked out about that as she had her recent plastic surgeries (arm lift & tummy tuck) done with twilight sleep/spinal blocks!! Major surgery! EEEEeeep! I had no idea they did that.0 -
Oh, that's awful. I really hope the fire moves away from the houses.quiksylver296 wrote: »So there is a pretty major wildfire near my house. Luckily we have the river between our house and the fire.

Sorry your date didn't go well. Hey, at least you got free drinks, right?! I'm assuming he paid.

Yeah, but you're a cop and quite intimidating. I mean, didn't a guy ask if you were a power lifter? No one would EVER ask that of me.
Also, doesn't he (the SL French(?) dude) say not to do the lifts out of order?

Ooh, I was thinking about you this morning when I saw that the fire had grown. Glad you're safe and I'll send positive vibes to your co-worker.0 -

I think he only says that because he thinks you won't return to your squats if you don't do them first. I love squats, so no worries that I won't do them 0 -

Oh man, that's so scary. I will send good thoughts his way! My parents live in an area where wildfires are a real threat and they have had to evacuate in the past, too. It's so scary not knowing what might happen and praying the wind will work in the favor of the firefighters. (My dad was a wildland firefighter for years). Please keep us updated and know we're thinking of your friend!!0 -

What a sleaze ball! And why do so many guys seem to think that that type of conversation is appropriate for a first date?! 0 -
@KylerJaye, glad you're back and happy to see that you're doing better, meeting new people, and moving on. But what in the world...what a loser this new dude was! Jeesh! Glad to hear that your "lil drunken brain" wasn't too drunk to pick up on his creepiness! Good luck on your next one...and as always, I'm looking forward to the next post date update!!!0

It does make the squats harder when they are last. I've never actually watched the SL guy, cuz I already knew how to perform the lifts. I just downloaded the app and started.0 -
I'm curious - to those who lift, do you wear a HRM to track calorie burn? I'm just curious about it because I recently got an HRM and was wondering whether the chest strap thing would get in the way if I was lifting.0

I have a Fitbit Charge HR, so I'm always tracking heart rate, but my understanding is that heart rate data is really only useful for steady cardio-type things (like your Zombie running). So I wear it but don't really pay attention to it except for when I'm running. Someone who uses real heart rate stuff might know more/better/different information.0 -

Oh interesting. I didn't know that... I may have to check Auntie Google to see what info I can find.
