“I just have a few more pushups to do”
I love the gym so much. Last night, I’m doing a barbell complex over on the Olympic rack when this happens: “Oh hey, what’s up?” I don’t look over, unsure if he’s talking to me, sure I don’t want to talk to him. “Yeah, man, I’m just at the gym. Lifting some weights. Heavy weights.” [...]

“You swing that rope so fast it could cut cheese!”
I just can’t make these things up. Another hilariously awesome comment from another Bleeker Street Gym athlete (these are almost as good as the BMQOTDs used to be … I miss you Big Mike … and my witness Alex): “You swing that rope so fast it could cut cheese!” Is she secretly noting that I am cutting [...]
