    Handstands and cartwheels. Or playing around on the rings if you have them. Or monkeying around on the Smith machine....

    I see that guy on all the gym fails videos and he's loaded a really heavy weight on some kind of pull down machine and he's just jumping and letting it lift him clear off the ground like some ridiculous anti gravity jumping and it looks hella fun.

    Nude yoga?

    I can't think of anything funny to say. My favorite circuit when no one's around is to arrange different sized boxes around the room, and jump from box to box like a parkour course. Then proceed to the next station, which is a battling rope tied between 2 squat racks about 15 feet apart, at head level, and proceed to climb across it, both supine and prone. Then pick up a heavy boxing bag off the floor, walk with it around the room, and throw it over the rope. :+1:

    1) check door make sure your not locked in
    2) if there's a pool enjoy floating around
    3) take up 10 lockers with your clothes
    4) make funny announcements on the PA
    5) change all the radio stations to polka

    when i'm in an empty space i like super-setting. not something i usually do when there are people around because it seems so hoggish and ignorant.

    Did you do weighted hip-thrusts? Because it doesn't matter if you're in the darkest, farthest corner of the gym, a man will always find you and stare at you while performing hip-thrusts.

    So true

    Had the gym to myself this morning. Usually it is pretty busy on Sundays. Stuck to my normal day (deadlifts and stuff) but I sang very loudly along with the radio and flexed a lot for the mirrors!!
