...that I noticed this morning. Why? Not that he's good looking or anything, but he's actually deadlifting. Granted, it wasn't a high amount of weight, but respectable. Easily over his bodyweight. Good form, low reps, short rest periods, just like most of us follow around here.
Then, after about 10 sets were complete, he pulls off most of the weight leaving only the 45s and completes a pretty good clean and places the BB on the squat rack. I thought, time for the curls. But he actually starts doing a set of Front Squats! WHO IS THIS GUY? Supersetted those with a Ball Jacknife.
See there is hope out there, somone actually working out the right way.
Luckily for me, that guy was in the mirror.
Is that guy or gal you see in the mirror doing things you don't see others in the gym doing?
Have a nice day...Ted

There is actually another dude at the gym that I've seen doing front squats (and properly at that) and the other day I saw him doing push jerks, I was surprised. I might actually introduce myself to him.

Did you know that if you scope out hot chicks in the mirror at the gym, they won't know you're ogling? At least that's the way I think it works, since all the guys at the YMCA do it shamelessly and seem to think nobody knows.

Trust me, they have NO clue.

I don't even do anything all that out there when it comes to moves but I still am the only one that I see doing DLs, squats, goodmornings or push presses. And you should see the looks when I don the belt and chain to do weighted calf raises and dips. Two young girls were literally laughing at the calf raises, while talking during one of their ten minute breaks between sets.

Excel doesn't have any mirrors. If they did, though, then I'd probably see that Eric Cressey guy asking me a ton of questions about his form. Always with the questions, this guy.
1) The period of ogling should be no more than 75% of the assigned rest period to give you time to recover from both the previous exercise and the ogling.
2) Should the ogling result in undue redistribution of blood flow from the brain to other parts of the anatomy, more recovery time may be required.
