funny gym occurance

[WarriorPL]

Yesterday was leg day for me at the gym. I finished up with all my main leg exercises and wanted to get started on calf workout. So as i'm walking to the seated calf machine, some dude takes it. No big deal, I just walked toward the leg press for some calf presses. I did 5 sets of those, not paying attention to the other dude. I finish figuring he would be finished, but heck no, he's still there. I walk up to him "excuse me sir, how many more sets you have left" ... "Twelve" he shouts. Then my jaw drops thinking that hes had to of done at least 5-7 sets already. "Twelve sets?" i asked. He laughes and responded with "don't worry, i'll be quick with them." Alright, so i figure ill just go and do some calf extensions. I do 5 sets of those, get off, and just see the guy getting off. He laughes and says "want me to leave the two plates?" ... "of course" i said with a grinning smile on my face, and then he walks away with a smirk on his face.

What i don't get is why he kept having a smile on his face. Sure it was a little funny, but maybe he took extra long to annoy me? Okay so he was nice enough to leave the weight on it, but damn 15+ sets? That was a little nuts.

Maybe you won't find this funny, but i did since it was a first.

lol i don't get why he would be laughing.

you know how we get stories of people being told not to deadlift or something and they laugh it off...

maybe somewhere in bizarroland they do 15+ calve raise sets. As we speak that guy is posting on another board: "guys you won't believe this idiot at my gym today...questioning me on my 15+ sets...i just HAD to laugh in his face"

lol that would be really funny if that happend...well i don't know how it sounds reading it. but if you could see what i'm picturing it would be funny i guess

what am i talking about...

t3c,
That's an excellent concept you have! Kinda like aTwilight Zone episode.

I see stuff like that all the time. I'll show up at the gym and some tough guys are benching. I warm up and totally blast chest, then hit abs and calves, and on my way back out the door they are still training chest...

Yeah I hate it when people monopolize the machines like that. Some dude had the power rack for an hour. He was doing all his exercises on it (bench presses mainly)

Parallel universe, this does seem to make sense since every person in my gym stay on their machine forever. I hear this all the time "Bro I only got 5 more sets to go' Just 10 more sets...

I really wonder what goes through their head when i am done in 45 minutes.....
