Friday the 13th!  In honor of this special day I’ve included a few scary photos for you.  First, as promised:

My 'stache, Day 13

Man if I knew it would only take me 13 days to look this awesome, I would have done this a long time ago.  To support my ’stache, prostate, and testicular cancer, click here.

The next photo is of a scary exercise I saw at the gym the other night.  This one doesn’t scare me so much because this guy is risking his life, but because he is so misguided.

Scary Rack Usage

Wow, this is ridiculous — too bad he totally thinks he’s the coolest.  I mean look at all the thought he put into this one.  He’s even got a little pad mounted up there for his lil’ ankles, and using those god forsaken ab wings, which always seem to attract idiots, so that he can sculpt the ultimate abs of steel.  Well buddy, that exercise sucks and I think it’s so funny that I took pictures of you.  This clown was also holding me up as I needed the rack.  The rack is the cornerstone of every great gym.  My gym only has one, which is not optimal and it usually attracts people who don’t seem to know how to use it.  Let’s take a look at a better gym.

Ah, isn’t that pretty and look no hanging ab doo-dads.  Why have so many racks? Well, because pretty much every exercise worth doing takes place in the rack.  If you are busy listing machines right now, “What about that one for my thighs?”, “The fly machine is good though right?”, you are proving my point.   Oh and you can bench press in there too — now are you happy?  Stick to the basics, no circus tricks, no machines, nothing that involves a lot of set-up time, a step ladder, or a helmet.  You will see better results, less injuries, and fewer pictures of yourself online.  Have a good weekend.
