One of the "great" things about having your #gym membership at Planet Fitness is the frequent comedy of other members' workout methods.
Today? Dude was using the leg extension machine as though it were a poorly designed leg curl machine. I guess he thought the seat was for putting his stuff on? I guess he didn't notice that his rep-counter was staying at zero because he wasn't using it in a way that hit the "good form" thresholds?
Best part? The leg extension machines are right next to the (seated) leg curl machines ...both of which were available to use while he was abusing the leg extension machine. Even better was he was (ab)using the extension machine and the leg press simultaneously (splitting sets across the two machiness, keeping both unavailable for others to use).

Some days I'm simply not able to get the performance in the gym. I'm just tired and exhausted. I still show up because I really like to do this stuff but I just can't focus on anything... Sometimes even getting dizzy while lifting. I still try to get the most out of it but it's always frustrating. Sadly those days appear more frequently recently without me being able to identify any reason for it 😞
Do you guys know this. How do you deal with situations like this?
Kuurosokeuteni vuoksi kunnon ylläpitäminen voi olla haastavaa. Varsinkin jos haluaa esim. lenkkeillä kuten minä.
Aiemmin lenkkeilin ulkona valkoisen kepin avustuksella pari vuotta, kunnes alkoi tulla vaarallisia tilanteita vastaan. Vaativat sääolot, vaarallinen liikenne, valojen puuttuminen pimeän aikaan, jne. 👩🦯 😱
Nyt olen lähes vuoden ajan käynyt kuntosalilla lenkkeilemässä juoksumatolla, ilman keppiä. Paljon turvallisempi ratkaisu itselleni ja tiettekö, sadekaan ei enää haittaa. 🤓
same weight (92,5kg) tried to improve my #technique ... Did I succeeded?
What I changed was basically rotating my feed a little bit more outwards which allowed me to keep my chest more upwards and getting a overall more stable position.
