Masterclass

Went out with my boss today to see what this line is about. Realized that there are many things to learn and skills to master if I were to be successful in this line. But I am glad that I have someone good to learn it from.

I have been trying to hit the track and the gym, which is conveniently near my place, on a semi regular basis in an attempt to pass my physical fitness test before the end of the year. That $400 bonus is very attractive indeed. The gym is a bit small and can get pretty crowded during the peak hours, but it is otherwise more than sufficient for my needs.

The thing which pisses me off whenever I go there are those people who hog the machines for no good reason. They just rest on the machines between their workouts, even though other people are waiting to use them. Sometimes they will just sit there and play with their handphones or chat with their friends.

Well I am no expert myself, but the way some people train is simply ludicrous. What is it with guys who like to stand at a prominent point in the gym and do bicep curls with a massive dumbbell that they can barely lift? Don’t they realize how ridiculous they look? And those which like to grunt at every opportunity? And those who spent 95% of their time talking incessantly while sitting on the machines and not working out.

And what is it with girls and the pectoral fly machine? That one exercise probably accounts for 75% of all exercise done on all weights machines for girls.

Indian ad. Quite funny the first time you see it, but the way they portray the workers is rather derogatory. I wonder how socially acceptable this is in India

Dance off between two breakdance experts!

That’s all folks.
