The young man looked fit, thick through the chest.
Bulging biceps and triceps. Washboard abs and the rest.
He strode a bit closer. To shock and surprise!
I saw his torso supported, by two spindly thighs!
He walked with confidence and no apprehensions,
as he performed his first set of leg extensions!
I watched this debacle, watched his face turn askew.
Watched him scream in mock agony, 'til his set was all through.
T'was then I approached him and extended hand.
"I don't mean to disrupt you, but excuse me, young man!
I was admiring your work. Man, that set was nice!
But I wonder if I might offer some helpful advice?"
He spoke not a word. Simply nodded his head.
I could read his expression. He wished I were dead.
"Get off this contraption! You're wasting your time!
Go to the squat rack! You can see....there's NO line!
You don't need machines! You don't need to look far!
Just load on the weight and get under the bar!
Unrack that sucker! Squat to the floor!
Grab some big plates, and load on some more!
Hear the iron rattle as you pound out each rep!
But please, friend! YOU must take the first step!
Come with me now! To the squat rack we'll go!
Together we'll get those tiny pegs to grow!"
He studied me hard. He seemed in a haze.
No words came! He stood in a daze!
'Say SOMETHING, son! Speak to me, PLEASE!'
'I can't do it!', he screamed! 'I have bad knees!

Down the road, in a gym far away
A young man was heard to say
"No matter what I do, legs won't grow!"
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, leg presses too
Trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he'd do!
From the corner of the gym where the big guys train
Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
Where the big iron rides high, and threatens lives
Where the noise is made with big forty-fives
A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees
A very big man with legs like trees
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
Chalked his hands and monstrous back
Said, "Boy, stop lying and don't say you've forgotten!
Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN'!"

Too bad there isn't a poem about diet, because you can squat 600 but if you eat like a little school girl you won't have giant legs.

Hee, hee. I like it. There are some girls in the gym where I workout that come in and I wonder why even bother. Most of their workout consists of talking to the boys and sitting on the machines looking pretty.

Just remember, even though working out the mirror muscles shouldn't be a priority, you can't get big biceps unless you direct bicep work some of the time.

Oh gosh, that's so true! That's why I always went to the gym at 5 AM, there were no mirror guys there, and only one other woman who was a PT. The guys there were actually serious about what they were doing.

When I'd go in on the weekend....it was awful! These girls were there in full makeup, the guys were strutting around like testosterone laden peacocks....it was rather annoying if it wasn't so amusing.

Ah those girls, lol. An even 2 miles an hour on the elyptical (they burn more calories you know). But heavens don't break out in a sweat the makeup will run and ewe sweat, Besides women perspire they don't sweat, that's gross. Besides all the dampness might ruin new vogue magazine, and it is the bible don't you know.

LOL
