Anyone seen leaving weights on bars at my gym gets the mickey royaly taken over the music system by whoever is sitting behind the desk - it’s funny in a ‘oi, you in the green T, take those weights off the squat bar, if you can’t manage them my little sister will help’ sort of way. Doesn’t happen often.

Haha brilliant. Could do with some of that at the spit and sawdust gym. It’s only a matter of time before Nic accidentally drops a heavy dumbbell on someone who dramatically drops - or even throws - the weights down onto the gym floor.

I’ve seen it there myself - it seems to be a trend among younger members. They do seated exercises like chest press, shoulder press, or flys, and then just toss the dumbbells to the ground. It really pisses Nic off.

I think it was when the gorillas started doing all the heavy lifting some years ago and started chucking and dropping the weights everywhere that I stopped using the gym.

just ordered a proper resistance band to do assisted pull ups with (when I get there!) as mine were far to "light"

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.
