Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

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.
