Everytime I go to gym

1. There are 2 workout "stations" that is always empty - The infamous 2 Squat Racks. So you really can't blame me for always starting my workout with squats or deadlift. There was one time where I wanna train on my back instead of the usual Squat routine, but couldn't because that back machine area was swarming with tonnes of guys. I also can hardly do some cable flyes because, yes, it is surrounded by the fitness wannabe. 

I don't like to ask these people halfway when they are training whether we can share or not. I just don't. Not that I don't like to share, but just..... dislike. You have to change the weights every time you share with other people, which I find it a bit, ma fan. (leceh. How do you say leceh in English?)

And I hate to say this but, really, the population of using the squat rack is like 1%. Maybe I can only see 1 guy doing squats (NOT the Smith Machine, please) in like, maybe 2 weeks?

Even the trainers commented, "Your squat is already very good lar. No need to do everyday." As usual, I just rolled my eyes, smiled and walk away. 

But why?? Why on earth does these guys never do squats? All they do is just bicep curls, bicep curls and more bicep curls.

2. I hardly see any guys do deadlift. I might not be at the gym 24/7 but every time I go there, I just don't see many do deadlift. But the population of doing this compare is squats is higher. Probably like 5%? At least better than Squats, I must say.

3. I always see the most famous workout of the universe - Bicep Curls!!! Ya. Why oh why? Yesterday I even saw 1 guy doing EZ Bar bicep curl with a strap? Do you really need straps for bicep curls? That was really new to me. Never seen anyone does that. 

You may be wondering why am I observing so many things that you'll start to wonder whether I'm actually training or kepochi-ing. Well, there are mirrors everywhere. And there is the rest time. I'm sure you know what I mean. If you are observant enough, you'll see much much more. 

THE Gym Etiquette

1. Please stop reading or texting or talking on the phone while doing your cardio at the gym. First, you are just wasting your time doing that because obviously, you are not concentrating on every fibre of your muscles working out, but rather checking out FB who's doing what and where and how. And you even have the guts to update your status : Cycling hard at the gym now! Seriously? If you are training hard, you won't even be texting at the first place.

2. Please don't grunt as if you are giving birth to an elephant. I don't find that sexy. It's uber irritating. What are you trying to prove anyway? There's this Iranian-look guy that does that everytime he does his Incline Bench Press. Gggrrrr!!!

3. The usual one - Stop hogging the machines. Enough said.

4. Can't you like please stop staring at the girls with hot butt? I think we women does that (staring) better and more discreet compare to men. Don't you think so? After all, what are the mirrors for? *wink*

5. I had been approached by few guys who came over and told me that my form is incorrect. Please don't do that. Though your intention is good, but I don't find it.... well, just mind your own business.
