At the gym at lunch, I laid back on the bench for the lat pull-down machine to do a set of chest exercises with dumbbells. In mid-set, out of the corner of my eye I saw an older guy walk around and sit down at the perpendicular and connected machine that works calves. He had been sitting on a nearby bench taking a rest and watching me do my circuit. When I got back up to do lat pull-downs again, I noticed that he had taken the pin out of my weight stack and was using it for his calves machine! How rude! There were free weight stacks all around us connected to our machine that no one was using! I leaned left and took the pin off an unoccupied stack and put it silently into my weight. He watched me do this but didn’t say anything and continued his set. I added my irritation to my glower power from yesterday and had a super-aggressive workout. But after I stepped off the cardio machine onto the sliding scale…HOW THE HELL DID I GAIN 5 LBS THIS WEEK?! 4 days straight of jujitsu, 2 hrs each, AND I still worked out at the gym 3 days this week, and I GAINED weight?!

The glower resumes.
