weirdos

I am not an egotistical lifter. I like to laugh at funny things at the gym. Let's say I see a bony man doing curls. I don't laugh at him. He's trying to get stronger. But this week at Wooden I saw the strangest two Asians doing preacher curls. I remember distinctly that the guy doing curls was wearing running shoes, cargo shorts (the whitish kind) and a blue t shirt. He wasn't skinny or big. His friend was helping him do preacher curls, with a 45 and 25 lbs plate on each side. Now to contextualize you all, that is an insane amount. I 'm pretty sure nobody can curl their body weight! Cargo-short-boy, sputtering like a choo-choo-choo train and making noises, got the bar up by the mighty effort of him and his friend.

"Oof off choo choo."
"Good man, there you go."
*bar drops*
*repeat*
