An adaptation of a Johnson and Johnson product as applied to a male? Jeez Liz, not even close.

I'll grant that Pitt not only kept and expanded the North American colonies at the expense of the French and took a big chunk of India away from them during the Seven Years War, but I think Palmerston expanded the Empire still further in India and the Far East and consolidated those gains to a far greater extent. I also give him credit for having enough sense to stay out of our own Civil War despite some huge pressures from the owners of the UK's dark satanic mills to get Confederate cotton and have the Queen's Navee (arrrgh!) demolish the Union's blockade of Southern ports.
I have to admit I did something similar. I was finishing my squats when a guy started doing seated presses in the Smith machine with one 45lb plate per side. He was doing half reps and yelling out his reps with nonsense in between: one ... two ... yeah baby ... three ... oh yeah ... four ...
[This guy is a chronic gym offender. He regularly 1/2 deadlifts hex plates in an aisle in front of 2 bench press stations, blocking them both and the two machines behind him. There are round bumper plates and a large open area at the end of the aisle he regularly blocks. This is just one of his many other offenses.]
I had missed a couple of days of training and I normally would have started back up with bench but I decided that OHP was in order. After a warm-up, I loaded 135 and banged out my sets with strict form and complete silence.
This did nothing. He was just as loud during his subsequent sets. It did shut up his training partner. But then the first guy just started yelling out the reps for his training partner. I had to laugh at that point.
Excellent ideas, folks. I like "partials pad" and "wimp wrap."
Forgot to mention that one of the bros did some partial squats in the Smith with the pad, because it didn't even seem worth mentioning. Of course he did! They always do! And yes, they left the weight on the bar. And the leg press. And the seated calf machine. I'll do some reorganization and unloading sometimes, but when we're talking 10+ 45s... nah.
