I refuse to believe that anyone on TB goes to the gym.

A solid -1 to you, sir.

For your redemption, we'll assume you didn't compound it by using a "stability" ball?

Is "curling in the squat rack" code for something? It sounds like something that happens in the bathroom.

It means doing bicep curls in the squat rack, which is made for doing back, front, and perhaps even overhead squats, and sometimes presses if no one else is around to act as a spotter.

I bought a Bowflex Spiraflex and haven't been to the gym since. It might not be as good as free weights but it's more than I need!!!

I find it funny that some weight-liftin' dudes will idle in their cars waiting for someone to move their car so they can park closer to the door of the gym.

When I lived in LA, I belonged to a gym that had a small parking lot. On weeknights there would be half a dozen people sitting in their cars, engines idling, waiting for someone to leave so they could park ... and then go in and walk on the treadmill.

Excessive walking would introducing "conditioning" into the training regime. They might not make their 1RM backsquat if they have to walk too much!
