Is this you?

How much do you and your workouts resemble what you see here?

The best part of the video are all of the comments about how these guys
are going to hurt their backs. Oh yeah, that looked like a dangerous
amount of weight to me.

The best part to me is taking up space in the power rack for curls.

And I can't tell exactly what weight they're using but I suspect my
weighted pullups and chinups today featured more iron.

I thought that is where everyone did curls in most commercial gyms. At
least they didn't each take up a separate power rack.

Exactly.

Yes, and _that_ is a problem, IMHO. One doesn't need a power rack for
curls or anything else where you don't have to be worried about being
crushed by the weight.

Thank G-d for small favors.

I expected that one of them will knock himself out with a barbell. They
should keep filming themselves. Sooner or later it will happen, and
that will be truly viral! I'm glad they used the rack, though. What
happens in a cage, stays in a cage (until it's a fart), so other people
were relative safe.

Oh, well. They were training, which is better than most.

Yes.

Where there is laughter in this newsgroup then there are MFW humour
awards!

Hey, no documentation is sometimes a good thing.

"Your curls" - there is no such thing. I've never done one and probably
never will. Why curl when you can do weighted chins? Last I looked,
I'm going from elbows locked at the bottom to as completely flexed as my
biceps, er, uh, my massive biceps will allow.

My favorite curls were done on the biceps "machine" at the gym. A guy
used to reach over the support pad, his butt well up off the seat, then
use his bodyweight to pull himself and the weights back to a sitting
position, with much grunting. I don't think the angle of his elbow
changed much, if at all.
