I think straps can be justified, but I hate gloves and that stupid pussy pad that people put on the squat bar and the overuse of belts...I think the next time I see a guy with gloves on in the gym I will ask him if he is a hand model |
Oh man, don't even get me started...
Yesterday, I saw this guy with those fingerless gloves on walking as if he was carrying 5 gallon buckets under his arms. You know, like some kind of badass gunfighter. He got into the squat rack next to me, loaded up two plates and started squatting... sort of. He was doing those 1/4 squats, I can't even describe them, but we've all seen it, you know what I mean. I was trying not to laugh, not because of his weight, not even because of his form. But because he walked in like Billy Badass and turned out to be Ginger. That's what a friend of mine calls a pussy. Ginger.
