Surreal Moments in the Gym

So I was in the gym for my typical weight training. A couple of the regulars were pretty much owning one of the bench press benches near a TV.

These are a couple of very large guys in their early fifties and have clearly been lifting for years. I have noticed previously that they are in no hurry when they are in the gym, but they do lift heavy. Clearly this is also social time for them.

This week I was lifting near them and I notice what they are watching in between sets. They have the Soap Opera channel on and are watching reruns of "The Young and the Restless".

I was in shock for the rest of my routine. I just put my headphones on and got back to work.

Soaps... At the Olympic Bench Press station... Oi Vey.

    That is awesome.

    I kind of feel out of place at the gym sometimes, especially the weight benches when there is a bunch of strong dudes there.

    When I was in high school, some of my jock friends who lived nearby *always* went home on the lunch hour to watch their soap (&/or The Gong Show)! Could not believe it.

    Hahaha ... and my friends have been teasing me because what gets me to stick on the cross trainer is watching an episode of Voltron (80's cartoon)!!!

    Last week when I was having a moment of "do I work out or do I watch this episode of the Bachelor Pad on Hulu"

    I compromised, I put the Bachelor Pad on while I worked out with Tony Horton :P
