...when there is no one...
After being absent for almost 1 week, it is time to hit the gym again. I have never been the one who goes to the gym on Sundays; maybe it is stated in the scripture that thou shall rest on the Sabbath. Actually, the Sabbath is actually Saturday not Sunday. But I ain’t no Jew, so what the heck. Actually I don’t go to gym on Sunday is because someone told me that the Pahang’s Football Squat goes there to train and also there will be some overzealous body builders showing off their steroid filled bodies. It will be jammed packed with “Batangs” (Dicks). Unless you are ready to clash dicks, so please count me out. But today, since it was raining the whole morning and it was cloudy and cooling throughout the day, I suppose half of the gym freaks would probably skip gym session and do something else. Beside my ass is flapping and urgently needs some work out…
When I reach there, to my surprise, there was no one there, just me, myself and I. What happened? I thought maybe half of the freaks will skip it but not all right? So I asked the receptionist and I found out that the Footballers actually don’t train on Sundays and usually Sundays are the quietest day of the week. That is why they close at 3pm. CB!! It’s almost 2PM, I have been with this gym for 2 years and I don’t even know about this. Dang!
I make do with whatever time I still have and not wanting to waste all my effort of tying my shoe laces before I came. I started off with warm up on the treadmills (I ran like hell just to get my heart rate up because I didn’t have time) and then I moved to machines before hitting the free weights. It was my usual routine but this time with little time to rest in between. Reminds me of a time when I was in my teens, me and my friend stupidly went in a buffet not knowing that it was going to end in 30 minutes. So being teens and “Kiasu” like hell, we “Bandai” the buffet spread like there is no tomorrow. We wanted to eat our money’s worth or maybe more. What to do, we were young and hungry teenagers.
I had 15 more minutes before they close and I thought I could step in the sweat room for a couple of minutes but to my dismay, it was already close. Dui… “Makan Sendiri” la …Well, actually I don’t mind working out alone, it is fun because I have the whole gym to myself. I think from now onwards, I shall workout on Sundays too. But I seriously need to wake up earlier, so that I don’t have to rush like mad.
The Fly Machine, the one that left me with sore “Katiak” (armpit) for a week once….
My favorite piece of free weights workout….”The Preacher Curl”
