I caught up with Matt at C51 Friday and a classic scene occurred. The bar was loaded and I was wrapping my knees for my last set of squats. A pretty thing walked right up to the power rack, threw a set of Ab Straps over the chin up bar, set down her iPod, placed a box under the straps so she could reach them. Then she climbed up on the box and went to work. I was sitting about 5 feet away from the bar while this was happening. I was sitting here with my knees wrapped wondering how to handle this 'cause she was kinda cute and I looked around the room and another guy doing leg extensions just looked and shook his head. I just shrugged. There here comes Matt, and he's shaking his head, just looking disgusted. I was more amused than pissed. So Matt shows up and she finishes her set looks around and finally says i'm sorry, "I'll come back when you're done." No problem.

I talked to her after I was done squatting to tell her I was done with the rack and she apologized again and was very sorry and sweet over the whole thing. And what I took away from it was: make sure I have enough chin-up bars at the gym.

And don't be a dick. She's a nice girl if a little oblivious.

Stay strong!
