Ah, the commercial gym. What a fun place to be. These lifts weren't as nice as I would have liked them, but I got them done. I was able to talk weightlifting with a girl who was squatting in the rack while I lifted on the outside. It was encouraging to see someone squatting more than bodyweight, with solid depth. The best part of all of it was overhearing a stereotypical bro (with highly exaggerated invisible lat syndrome) explaining to a second bro how to bench to really get big shoulders and lats. Fascinating.
And what kind of fucking bonehead does an unspotted decline bench with two wheels AND CLIPS? The Bro. That's who.
