I've seen some dumbass poo poo in the gym but some dude today was sitting on a barbell in the rack. Like I'm sure the barbell can handle it but why would you do that?

It's great to think that when im squatting the bar it might have had this morons butt all over it.

don't doxx me

Second, if noone else is using the rack (my gym has three rather large cages in a row, each with an internal lifting section and racks/safeties on the outside part for a total of six lifting spots) and I'm tired I'm putting my booty sweat all over a barbell at the right height

I sometimes use a bar on the safeties to roll out my hamstrings, especially at the top near the glute ham tie in.

So not only has my rear end been on that bar, but also my dick and balls.

As per the thread's suggestions I've started doing supersets of dead hangs once or twice a week during my workouts and I'm using a broomstick sans broom head to do a set of 15 shoulder dislocations daily, regardless of whether or not I'm working out that day. feelsgoodman

At my gym, Saturday is leave poo poo wherever you want day. Every bar has weights. Every floor space has weights. A bench is next to a treadmill for some reason, and there are only 3 other people in the gym at 11am.

Those early risers really tear poo poo up.

Collagen helped my knee and joint pains in general a lot. Get some supp that has both type 1 and 2.

Getting back on the roll after my recent rib popping, my fat rear end managed a new DL PR of 190 kg (no belt).
I really hoped to hit 200 kg by the end of last year, but dealing with an undiagnosed celiac disease for most of it and some other minor crap, I'm relatively happy to be even at this point.

Lifting weights is super safe and not really an athletic activity

If your only physical activity is lifting weights, you're probably a giant pussy

I say this from personal experience, I started playing flag football

Over the past two weeks I've practiced running routes for about an hour twice, and played about 10 downs in a game

My legs haven't stopped hurting, I'm not fat either

I started having occasional digestive issues in summer 2016, got worse and worse during 2017. By the summer I was taking medicine for constant stomach pain, diarrhea and throwing up every morning, in the end even the meds couldn't keep the pain away.
Finally got the diagnosis in august and switching to gluten free diet immediately the symptoms slowly went away in couple of months.

I'd say that was pretty lovely to go through.

Injury update. I went to the minor injuries clinic and they sent me to A&E but my knee is fine and not fractured. My knee cap is just pointing in a weird direction due to swelling. Woooo.

I'm glad there's a sports therapy place near my house with someone who coaches power lifting. If I've done some lame rear end ligament damage or whatever I can go there :)

Apparently there's like a bit of bone floating in my knee from a previous fracture which I didn't know about though. Bodies suck.

Not as bad as what you have by any measure but I had lactose intolerance which gave me real bad stomach pain in the night. No diarrhoea or anything. Took me months to figure out what was wrong with me.

I dropped my wife off at work this morning (8 EST) and saw a dude running one way down Broadway bright and early. "cool guy that Mr. Runner, good for you"

I came home, had breakfast and then decided to take the kiddo to the farmers market (about 9:30 EST) and saw the same guy running back the other way. "Wow Mr. Runner, really going for gold today!"

Left the market, did some grocery shopping, driving home and I see him running back in his original direction (11 EST). "Jesus christ dude just run faster and you'll get tired quicker"
