Just lifted weights and 2 random bros were helping each other out. Reminded me of Tetra.

 

There’s a real mental game to asking for a spotter at the gym

 

I’ve never asked for a spotter at the gym and if someone approached me, I’d def say no

 

Huh?

 

“No. You gotta watch me die.”

 

Even ignoring telling others no being pretty antisocial and weird, if you are lifting weight heavy at all for yourself and not using a spotter that is pretty dangerous and you should stop doing that

 

I’m too shy to ask

 

You just have to ask the biggest person around. They will only have their ego inflated by your asking and they won’t care about what you’re lifting and will, generally speaking, be helpful

 

probably need to try lifting again. i worked out consistently in college and my trainer tried to get me to do squats, but my back is a tad fucked up, and i couldn't really get into the proper posture without nearly hurting myself.

 

This is me with deadlifts and the answer is there are plenty of other exercises for the same muscle groups and just find a different one that works better for you

 

yeah, i figured that out pretty quickly. don't remember my exact routine, but i believe Romanian deadlifts helped compensate for some of the work i'd be doing with squatting.

should probably get back in the gym soon, tbh. it was a bit exhausting but i definitely felt better, and i could probably lose about 10 lbs and put on a tiny bit of muscle.

 

Reason I don’t spot is I don’t really heavy-lift and mainly use the pull-up/dip bar, or use machines at the gym. At home I’ll do HIIT workouts and dumbbells. Also, yes, I admit I’m antisocial while working out.

 

I lift my kids

 

dad of the year over here

 

You should hang one of them from each end of a bar and bench press them

 

hopefully you put them down too

 

I lift up the voices of others as an ally

 

What happens after this

 

Just a normal guy right

 

This feels very uneven and dangerous

 

So I started the book and am shook to find out the main characters name is Tate Donovan. Like the pretty famous actor that played Marissa's dad in The OC. Why would they do this knowing they're making the movie. They have would have to change it for the movie, right? It is not a common name, surely people in the book will be asking, "Tate Donovan, like the actor?" every time he introduces himself. M. Night never ceases to amaze and fascinate. Please report back on whether or not it's the same in the movie.

Edit: I checked the wiki. Jake Gyllenhaal as Tate Donovan.

 

I don’t think most people know him as Tate Donovan I’d imagine he’s just Jimmy cooper or Rachel green’s boyfriend that one episode

 

You don't need to lift heavy weights like that. Just do the colorful foam ones.
