    Get over yourself. Seriously.

    Being 'hardcore' is getting your work done and pushing yourself no matter what. Not b*tching about other people to show how cool and elitist you are.

    its just annoys me..
    people pat themselves on the back way too quickly
    people who train at super low intensity if she took the
    stairs to they gym on the 4th floor she would probably have got more
    out of it then her cross trainer effort..
    i found it painfull to watch

    i just wish people were more informed..
    but yes it is all about yourself...agreed
    the 8 treadmills in my gym are often taken up with
    8 people walking at 2-4km/hr..
    and yes this makes me angry..

    ^^

    People who pay their gym fees the same as yourself are entitled to use the equipment and at whatever tempo they chose. In any gym I have ever been in, the use of equipment was on a first come basis.

    If the treddies were all taken and I wanted to do cardio, then I switch to a cross trainer, spin bike or rower or run outside, simple.

    You'll never make a body builder. Low intensity workouts over longer periods of time ftw. 20mins of flapping about < over an hour on a bike or cross-trainer.

    Quality!

    When I was 13, I worked at a place on the North Strand in Dublin. There was a lovely family who ran a newsagent which was targetted weekly by junkies to get some cash - usually by holding a syringe to one of the lovely sisters throats.

    Anyway... One sunny saturday, there was roadworks being done. The lads on the job had been there all week, and they knew the girls who ran the shop (16, 21 and 25, all beautiful). The panic alarm went off after 2pm, and some junky ran past my shop and the roadworks... chased by 5/6 builders all armed with tarmac rakes. He got the hiding of his life just beside the fire station... He.. aheam... tripped and fell under the railway bridge, and received injuries that were not explained... And somehow unwitnessed :).

    Haha these stories are all like the guy who goes into A&E with a bottle lodged in his ass, "how'd it get there" they ask, "i tripped and fell on it" hahaha

    Has he lifted 460.0kg before? I've seen lots of attempts from the last 4 years.

    The current record is 460.4kg (1015lbs) I think?
