I really would like to know the back story on this.
?
Plate loader exacuted ??
Lifter gets another attempt? But he'll he struggled with that one somewhat, so I bet the follow-up attempt was derailed.
Thank goodness is was only a 'D' group lifter.
But no one deserves that...
I didn't see the elusive double knee bend, but the double-take was pretty clear :)Quote:

The other day I got a 125# teen-ager trying to nonchalantly check out his pec pump through the side of his cutout shirt at like point blank range. Missed my whole set.Quote:

On one end of the spectrum there's a guy who looks like a pretty proficient Olympic lifter I see on days when I work from home and go in the afternoon and after maybe 45 minutes of stretching, skipping on the turf wearing a hip circle type thing, rolling his legs on a roller, his back on a lacrosse ball on the wall, etc, he'll start working up to light singles and partial movements (cleans from the rack, that kind of thing). His whole workout must take like 4 hours if he ever actually does anything over ~135 lbs (not sure I've seen that happen). On the other end I saw a guy squatting on Sunday who started with 185 lbs, did 3/4 - 4/5 depth squats (not terrible), then went directly to 225 and did a couple sets of half squats. It's like some people are allergic to a plate under 25 lbs and others are allergic to a plate over 25 lbs.
I don't think I have once seen someone do a set of warmups that started with the bar and ended up with a working set of >2 plates nor have I ever seen a 45 lb plate and a 5 lb plate on a bar simultaneously.
Yes, I would.Quote:

Oh that's just lovely. Glad I train at home.
