i'm starting to see the same people at the gym when i go, which makes sense given that i go roughly around the same time for each workout. a bunch of the people who hang out around and work out on the platforms are members of the UCL barbell club, who are clearly friends or at least friendly with each other. lots of banter, lots of filming each other and talking about lifting technique and that sort of thing. and they're not all men! it's nice. i mention it because there's a short little guy, broad-shouldered but not super thick or ripped, who's there every time i am, and who is the number one banterer. in fact in the weeks i've been going to the gym i'd never seen him touch a weight, just walk around and greet people in his tights and dead lifting shoes and A7 barbell grip shirt. i started to think it was a bit odd. like he was just performing being a gym rat without actually working out. do you even lift bro?
then yesterday i watched him DL 200 kg for a set of five and was like, oh, okay. right. do not judge a book by a tiny snapshot of its behavior.
