    When I'm done doing my "arched back super heavy bench press" I like to run around the gym, squawk, and wave my arms at the other lifters. Then I walk by the treadmill row with my chest puffed out.

    I'd watch that!

    Yep. That would actually be fun to watch. Not painful...

    Conversely, most women tend to always reach for the pretty pink toddler sized weights.

    Wait, What? There are pink toddler sized weights? I must be going to the wrong gym.

    But the blue weights get you super big and bulky. And you'll grow a beard.

    You need to lift heavier at the gym.

    simply ego lifting. Guys try to out-do each other without realizing that it's competing with yourself not others that'll get you in shape. Meaning, trying to make slow, progressive gains over time. Bodybuilder is a marathon, not a race. In regards to women, many are afraid of weights, but rest asure that incorporating weights and slowly increasing them won't make you jacked or dude-like, but probably leaner and more defined than cardio alone.

    Thanks. I was wondering what the deal was with the stubble on my chin. I will switch back to the pink ones. But the yellow ones do match my workout gear better.

    My gym prefers violet in the weight room.

    I'm guilty of watching others at the gym :blushing: but I thoroughly enjoy the eye candy.

    ...with proper form. Not looking like you are about to crack a bone.

    I hear they put a fair amount of hair on the chest and back. Gorilla's unite.

    I'm confused... I get the bad form part, but the 5 reps? isn't 5 reps the goal in programs like stronglifts?

    Was throwing a number.. basically they do a few reps with bad form from too much weight.

    To answer your question for real: I don't know.

    Incidentally he hooked his legs over the I-beam that you see in the first frames. Not saying, just saying.
