For the next 1.5 hours I am stuck at work. Instead of doing real work I am just killing time until I can leave. So anyone who is hanging around JP Fitness gets a unique oportunity...You get to ask me anything you want. Anything in the world over any subject. I can't promise the answer will be right or helpful, but it will be awesome because its from me.
Some suggested topics...getting chicks to dig you, strongman, non-stupid training, body piercing, how to get moms to love you, why I am cooler than everyone else...

Ok any idea on how I can do rack pulls at the gym?? The pins are fixed and they sit about two inches above my knees! Alternative ideas to rack pulls are good too

Do them on a flat bench press. Adjust the Olympic bar to the highest pin setting and lay back on the bench and perfrom them from there.

Do you have any type of step you can use to elevate yourself? Instead of bringing the pins down, bring yourself up. Those steps they use in the step classes work great if you have them.

They have them, but the curse of being short is that I don't think I get high enough. I guess it'll have to do. I wonder if they are stackable, prob not such a good idea though eh!! Thanks Danny

I don't know if this is the answer, but you could try Zercher deads from that rack position or maybe a little higher. If you try this, it is really hard on the forearms, so make sure to pad the bar.

Jenn, How about using two Reebok steps from the aerobics room as the supports for your bar. The steps have little "boxes" that can be used to raise the step height. You don't even need the actual "step" platform, just the bottom supports. Just one on each side is pretty low. Two on each side of your bar will bring the bar up to a good height for rack pulls for a short person. You can let the plates on your bar sit right down in the hole of the step supports. I did that all the time before our Y got a real power rack.
Danny's idea of standing on the Reebok step is good too, but I feel more secure when I'm standing flat on the floor.
if big cats have little cats, and big dogs have little dogs, and big horseys have little horseys, do big airplanes have little airplanes?

Does that make sense to you?

LMAO ya you sure do !!!! I get some strange looks with some of the things I do. You should see when I deadlift, they look at me like I'm an alien
I've got so many clients deadlifting now that it's not abnormal here anymore. The funniest thing I see now is that if I try something new there will be 4-5 people doing it badly the very next day! HA! They watch to see what I have my clients do and try to copy it. I just shake my head. Sometimes it's a good thing, but lots of times they just don't get the why or how of it and don't apply it correctly, you know?
OK, got off on a tangent there, sorry for that. It's just one of my gym frustrations. You just do what you need to do and everyone will be watching you and at least expanding their horizons, maybe start asking questions. Maybe even learning something!

PS: I think we totally hijacked Danny's thread!
he abandoned it I think I have had to go correct a few people already, which is scary but its better that watching them hurt themselves.

So this was only supposed to be an option for the 2 hours I was at work last night, but I am bored again and this is fun.

Can you give me step-by-step instructions on the proper technique of crapping in someones gym bag
You need to lay a good foundation by eating a lot of fiber, mexican food, and protein shakes the day before a good gym bag crapping. Then its a pretty simple process with a lot of room for creativity. Make sure the bag is open good and wide, you don't want any splatter. Then its a matter of squatting, dominated the bag, and putting it away like nothing ever happened. Practicing crapping while holding a squatting position might be of value.

None. Don't be a fool, wrap your tool. No glove, no love.

How did you get rid of them?
Free clinics are great. In extreme situations a blow torch and a bottle of wild turkey will work too.
