Joined a new gym last night. Hilarious

Observed a lengthy chest day; wrist straps were on at all times, even between sets. Except that the straps weren't actually wrapped around the barbells.

Trying to understand the point.

Aren't they a broccessory, like headbands and the like?

I saw a guy doing curls with straps. I think it's more about looking cool than actually being cool.

Better than bench, which several of us have seen.

I think you mean it's more about looking like a tool than them actually being a tool

Crossfit meets bodybuilding.

Wow. Maybe you have it all wrong, maybe he is just trying to figure out how to spot himself?

It kinda looks like he's playing "the floor is lava" game.

I'd pay good money to see the likes of Callador, Brian Jones, Rip et al in one of these classes:

As far as cardio is concerned, this looks much more fun that running.

I broke a kids arm on a trampoline when I was a kid. Not understanding physics and being a larger kid, I had him go underneath to help boost me up higher. When I came down on his arm, I shattered it in 3 places. :-(

I'm in the gym right now, resting between sets, watching a trainer do his shit. He is doing behind the back shrugs in the smith machine, with approx 60kgs on the bar. He is wearing straps, but he isn't actually wrapping them around the bar!? They're just hanging there...
