Mirrors...the root of all dumb shit!

Workout regularly and you will bear witness to some particularly stupid activity in the gym. Some day's I have a good laugh others I just shake my head and wonder how some people make it through a day.

Case in point. While there are two squat racks in the gym they are rarely both available for use. Instead there is usually some half-wit that just has to military press 30 kilos in the rack, or perform 2 inch range of motion rack pulls.

My personal favourite is the upright half bent shrug row. This exercise is easily identified by the confused bro standing almost upright while rowing the bar as if performing a bent row. The confusing element here is that I am never really certain what the bro in question feels he is achieving. And to be honest I really don't care except, the chosen location for this exercise tends to be right in the middle of the squat rack.

Though I must say my favourite might be under threat. This week I watched incredulously as a bro heaved the trap deadlift bar in-front of the mirror and proceeded to hoist it over head for sets of seated military press. Honestly  I just couldn't comprehend what my eyes were witnessing.

 I have developed a theory that suggests that 90% of dopey shit occurs within close proximity to a mirror. Therefore to eliminate the bro's and their inane feats of stupidity, remove the mirrors! Absolutely foolproof.

Lift and share the knowledge
