Fitness Assessment
Fitness Assessment I had a Fitness Assessment tonight at the Gym I joined, I thought it was going to go well as they managed to fit me in half hour before I was due to have it, I was mistaken though.

This young guy asks me do I know how to bench press, do squats, know what lat pull downs are [...]

Due to my slow downloads and high usage I thought my ISP was reporting my usage [...]

Gym Heroes
Gym Heroes I went to the gym tonight and did a bit of cardio on the bike then decided to do some chest work, instead of the bench press I did free weight dumbell presses which is a good thing because I got to watch what was happening behind me via the mirror in front. After I had done my first set of 10 a group of young guys jumped onto the bench press, they started off normal with a couple of 15kg plates at either end and once all 3 had done their sets they upped the weight to 25kg each [...]
