I MUST bring my water bottle, mostly filled with ice.


Otherwise I drink too much of it and halfway through my cardio I have to fill it up again, sometimes making me chose to end cadio session



Also...I rap along with Jay-Z, lil Wayne and Emimen

which, is funny

I always take a pee break midway through my workout.

I drink lots of water, and it's a nice breather after a few excercises.

Aside from a few small things, that's me exactly.

I have to use a particular machine (only 2 available) for my cardio workout. If one of them isn't open when I get there, I sign up for the next available slot then go hit the weights.

I pick my locker number based on my weight. I like #127. It's nice and roomy. 128 and 129 were half-lockers.

I freak out if all the Cybex's are being used.

Throw a lot of dirty looks.... then sulk over to the bike.

Always have to have my weight lifting belt, straps, and any other wraps (for really heavy, heavy lifting) with me. I adjust the plates evenly on both sides of the racks on whatever bench or weight loading machine (usually HAMMER) I use.

I pee in the showers.

That is a very environmentally-friendly thing to do. Thank you for saving the planet, one piss at a time.

I do this too! :laugh:

It is extra irritating when I check the book and the machine isn't even signed in. There was a woman on one of the machines for at least an hour (30 minute maximum rule) on Monday. She wasn't even signed in for the first 30 minutes. I just met this woman last weekend at my daughter's birthday party. Yep, she was the mom of one of my daughter's friend. A reminder of why I don't make a fuss about the rule breakers.

Me too, it always has to be the left-most of either two rows of treadmills. I think they're nearer to the air con outlets. And the sweaty guys lifting heavy weights!

I always leave part of the strap of my rucksack hanging out of the locker so I can find it easily when I come out of the shower without my glasses on.

Also acts as an antiseptic, helping to kill any foot fungus.

You're gonna clog the drains, dude.

i imagine there's a sybian below me when i do squats.
i find it helps me engage the glutes more, thereby getting a much more effective workout.

Then, picks himself up to hit the showers.

I have my workout plan and my peri-workout drink with me religiously. I'm pretty regimented in my routines and get really irritated if somebody gets in the way, especially if they don't even know what they're doing or doing some nonsense like curling in the power racks or using our one parallel dip station and they do some awful variation of a dip.
