3:45
SPEAKER_00: I know.
3:46
SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you what the the the topic of today is, but let me tell you first about uh No Part to add gym etiquette.
3:55
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
3:56
SPEAKER_08: What is gym etiquette?
3:58
SPEAKER_08: As you know, you talking about finger maxing.
4:00
SPEAKER_08: Is finger maxing good gym etiquette?
4:03
SPEAKER_08: Or should you keep that to yourself?
4:04
SPEAKER_00: Well, finger maxing is just making your fingers stronger.
4:07
SPEAKER_00: And you can do what you please with strong fingers.
4:09
SPEAKER_08: There you go.
4:12
SPEAKER_08: But but today is going to be about gym etiquette.
4:15
SPEAKER_08: Certain things in the gym for people that haven't been before, or the people that are seasoned veterans of going there and pumping some iron or uh going on the ski urg, as you know, everyone loves to do.
4:26
SPEAKER_08: For an hour and a half maximum.
4:29
SPEAKER_08: Maybe two.
4:31
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
4:32
SPEAKER_08: So let's kick us off.
4:34
SPEAKER_08: Tip of your tongue, guy.
4:35
SPEAKER_08: What is the number one thing that pisses you off in the gym?
4:41
SPEAKER_00: Okay, one thing I have, because I I don't really train at public gyms anymore, uh, and the odd occasion where I do is this whole thing of men sizing each other up in the gym.
4:54
SPEAKER_00: Uh uh, you probably know about it.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: You go in the gym and you start working out, and instant eyes are looking at you thinking, is that fucker bigger than me?
5:03
SPEAKER_00: Is he?
5:03
SPEAKER_00: Is he?
5:04
SPEAKER_00: His arms are quiet, and there's this whole weird like sizing up thing that goes on when you go to a gym.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, can we just cut that?
5:14
SPEAKER_00: Because I I if it's do you know what I mean?
5:17
SPEAKER_00: Just like I just I'm just here to work out, and there's this whole kind of weird masculine thing, oh, he's doing the 32s, I'll do the 34s, and I guess in an there's an element of it which could be somewhat beneficial because there's like this I want to be bigger than him and competitive, but at a point you're just like, What why are you looking at me so much?
5:45
SPEAKER_00: And it's it's and I I you can I imagine it's bad for me, but imagine what it's like for girls going into the gym and like even but it's it's probably I don't know, when you look as good as me, Charlie, you see it happens all the time.
5:57
SPEAKER_08: So this this is what you kind of alluded to is actually that uh you're feeling uncomfortable because everyone's looking at you because you're the biggest in the gym.
6:06
SPEAKER_08: Is this is what I'm hearing, Charlotte.
6:08
SPEAKER_00: No, no, it's not it's not that.
6:09
SPEAKER_05: It's big dog, big dog.
6:11
SPEAKER_00: It's it's when you go to No, it's not.
6:15
SPEAKER_00: Okay, it happens to everyone.
6:16
SPEAKER_00: Do you not get that?
6:17
SPEAKER_05: Especially when he has a haircut.
6:18
SPEAKER_08: My my gym experience is vastly different from probably anyone else's.
6:23
SPEAKER_08: So I went into I went into the gym yesterday to do my easier day, and it was I do my blood flow restriction, squats, leg extensions, I kind of tie myself with a band and let my quad go a little bit, you know, crumpy.
6:38
SPEAKER_08: Um I then go into the back room to do my goblet squats, yeah.
6:43
SPEAKER_08: And then I go on the bike for an hour.
6:45
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but that has nothing to do with etiquette.
6:48
SPEAKER_08: No, but I'm saying that I'm not how is anyone gonna size me up?
6:52
SPEAKER_08: Like I'm not doing anything that anyone else is doing.
6:54
SPEAKER_08: What?
6:55
SPEAKER_08: But they can't compare.
6:57
SPEAKER_08: Right?
6:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I guess.
7:00
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: I guess, but you've had the experience beforehand.
7:04
SPEAKER_08: Maybe.
7:04
SPEAKER_08: I to be honest, I really don't pay that much attention to other people in the gym.
7:08
SPEAKER_05: I have a gym etiquette that's suitable for all sex, age, and gender.
7:12
SPEAKER_08: What?
7:13
SPEAKER_05: Put your weights away.
7:14
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, no, yeah.
7:14
SPEAKER_05: In the right place.
7:16
SPEAKER_05: Please.
7:16
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
7:17
SPEAKER_05: And thank you.
7:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh it fills me with rage.
7:22
SPEAKER_05: And if you've got a sweaty head, spray the if you're sweaty, full stop.
7:29
SPEAKER_05: Sweaty head marks are usually things, but spray, spray the benches.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: Hang on, you've got a thing against bald men, don't you?
7:34
SPEAKER_05: Maybe.
7:35
SPEAKER_00: You've got a thing against bald men sweating all over the machines.
7:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
7:38
SPEAKER_00: Look, we've got no hair to soak it up.
7:41
SPEAKER_05: I actually put a little hat on something.
7:47
SPEAKER_08: So Charlotte, what's the worst thing that you've seen in terms of people, you know, not putting weights away or it's that it's that, it's not putting weights away, which really bothers me, especially like I literally had it the other day when I went to do Hit Frust at my gym, and there was this old guy on the glute drive.
8:03
SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna say old guy, not crazy old, but in his 70s, about in the 70s.
8:06
SPEAKER_08: It's kind of old for the gym.
8:08
SPEAKER_05: Relatively maybe 60s, maybe 60s.
8:11
SPEAKER_05: And anyway, I he finished with the Hit Frust machine, and it wasn't as if he was leaving on what plates I could use.
8:18
SPEAKER_05: Well, sometimes, like if someone's leaving, I'll go, Oh, can you just leave those ones on?
8:22
SPEAKER_05: That's great.
8:22
SPEAKER_05: Because for me, I you know, I've got uh quite a few to bid on.
8:26
SPEAKER_05: Not sounding like a wine.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: Oh, did you hear that, Xavier?
8:28
SPEAKER_05: Not sounding like a wine.
8:29
SPEAKER_05: But I've got I have to put on quite a few plates.
8:32
SPEAKER_05: So actually, if someone's been on there and they've had 25s on there already, then awesome.
8:37
SPEAKER_05: But when you're leaving and you've got willy-nilly plates and you just left them, I said, I was like, Oh, you done with that?
8:41
SPEAKER_05: He's like, Yeah, and walked off.
8:42
SPEAKER_05: I was like, Are you gonna take are you gonna take them off?
8:47
SPEAKER_05: And you know what, if it was a young and this is this is a bit age of me because if it was a younger person, I'd say, Well, can you take your plates off then?
8:53
SPEAKER_05: But he was an old bloke, I just wanted to, it just left him to his own devices.
8:56
SPEAKER_07: Why?
8:56
SPEAKER_05: And I should have gone, take the plates off please waste everybody else's time, and like I think it's just so um like you're not you're not thinking about anybody else at all.
9:10
SPEAKER_05: You know?
9:11
SPEAKER_05: Like there are people who need to go in there, they've got to be pretty like quick with their session, and you're you're not putting stuff away, and it takes a lot of time to put stuff on.
9:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what about people throwing up in the gym?
9:22
SPEAKER_00: What do you think about that?
9:23
SPEAKER_08: Hold on, we haven't we need to explore.
9:25
SPEAKER_08: Let's hold your horses, sir.
9:27
SPEAKER_08: Let's let's explore taking weights off.
9:29
SPEAKER_08: I think we you know you got a few questions for Charlotte about taking your weights off.
9:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's put your weights away.
9:37
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's as simple as that, really.
9:38
SPEAKER_08: But what if but what if someone makes the claim?
9:41
SPEAKER_08: All right, let's play devil's advocate.
9:43
SPEAKER_08: What if someone makes the claim that you know um it's extra gains for you to put weights away?
9:50
SPEAKER_00: That's ridiculous.
9:50
SPEAKER_00: He can get extra gains himself by putting the fucking weights away.
9:53
SPEAKER_05: And I've got extra gains by training hard enough anyway, unlike some people.
9:59
SPEAKER_08: Alright, fine, that's hard and fast then.
10:01
SPEAKER_00: I I mean it has to be, it's just so simple.
10:04
SPEAKER_00: It's just put your weights away.
10:05
SPEAKER_08: But then also put them in the right place.
10:07
SPEAKER_00: Let's know, let's dive into the nuances of it actually.
10:09
SPEAKER_08: Because putting your weights away doesn't just mean, you know, putting them back on somewhere.
10:14
SPEAKER_05: Put them in the right place, dumbbells on the rack in the right place.
10:17
SPEAKER_05: Do not put 30 kg dumbbells on the top shelf.
10:21
SPEAKER_08: So you need to put them in the right spot.
10:23
SPEAKER_08: Putting first of all, it's putting them back in their right place.
10:29
SPEAKER_08: What happens if there's a dumbbell rack that someone previously has misordered them?
10:36
SPEAKER_08: Is it on you know us, the individual that's not part of that first like interaction putting the weights about is it our duty to clear up and change the dumbbells?
10:46
SPEAKER_08: Like, because sometimes I'll look at I'll look at a dumbbell rack and maybe the the 20s and the 17 and a half are split, or for some reason someone's put one of the dumbbells in the 17 and a half spot and one of the dumbbells in the 20 spot, and it's then like overlapping.
11:03
SPEAKER_08: So it's not even two in pairs.
11:05
SPEAKER_05: You know what?
11:06
SPEAKER_05: If you're in a public gym and the dumbbell rack is just, you know, there's no hope.
11:10
SPEAKER_05: I'm not sure I'm not going around and wasting my time reorganising it.
11:13
SPEAKER_05: If it's here at Barn, I'll reorganise it.
11:16
SPEAKER_00: I was in Pure Gym in Finsbury Park about a month ago, and any enough said, but I I um I went to put my dumbbells back, and then I noticed oh, the the 32 spots not available.
11:35
SPEAKER_00: So I'll put oh the there's fives there, and I started cleaning it up, and then I kind of stepped back, and this was like two of each weight from two and a half to fifty.
11:47
SPEAKER_00: So there's it's just like a whole long wall of it, and I tried to put about five or six dumbbells back, and then I realized oh, that everything's in the wrong place, and there's dumbbells and by the I it would probably take me about half an hour to sort everything out, and I was just like, Do you know what?
12:03
SPEAKER_00: I don't even train here.
12:05
SPEAKER_00: I don't even train here, like maybe if I had a lot of time on my hands and I was a frequent member of the gym, I would have.
12:12
SPEAKER_00: And then I'd also maybe looked around at other people whilst I was doing it to see if anyone else wanted to help me out.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah.
12:21
SPEAKER_08: I think it's fair.
12:22
SPEAKER_08: You'll be able to do it.
12:23
SPEAKER_08: But I think you know, there's a certain level.
12:24
SPEAKER_08: I I just feel like yesterday when I was in the gym, um there's one of the the smaller dumbbell racks, the ones that go from one kg to ten in a nice little like Christmas tree type thing.
12:35
SPEAKER_08: And or probably just a normal tree, maybe.
12:38
SPEAKER_08: And for some reason there was a 1 kg dumbbell just on the floor next to it.
12:42
SPEAKER_08: Uh-huh just one of them.
12:44
SPEAKER_08: And I moved back and forward, I kind of went and grabbed my sandbag, came back, did a set.
12:49
SPEAKER_08: And there were a couple of other people in this in the little part of the the kind of the core room of the gym.
12:54
SPEAKER_08: And uh yeah, no one would no one's willing to do it.
12:57
SPEAKER_08: And I was just like, oh, might as well just pop it back.
12:59
SPEAKER_03: Just stand in mid-no one else, yeah.
13:02
SPEAKER_08: It just seems like it's a bit of chicken.
13:04
SPEAKER_08: It's a game of chicken.
13:05
SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna I'm gonna be the better person, put it away.
13:08
SPEAKER_05: Shout that out loud, yeah.
13:09
SPEAKER_05: No one else, cool.
13:11
SPEAKER_08: But also, I think you can see it's like doing your your hazard perception in your driving tests.
13:16
SPEAKER_08: It's like as as people that work at a gym, you can tell like where there might be someone, you know, dripping up over a dumbbell or something like that.
13:24
SPEAKER_08: I could just tell these one kilo dumbbells, they're so skinny.
13:26
SPEAKER_08: Someone's gonna walk in and you know, like a banana skin.
13:30
SPEAKER_08: Just go.
13:33
SPEAKER_08: But I think it's you know, it's it's clear, I think clear up when where you can, if it takes I think if it takes less than 60 seconds, by the time that you've decided whether or not you're gonna do it, you might as well have done it.
13:47
SPEAKER_00: It takes as long to put them away as it takes to get them out.
13:50
SPEAKER_00: I I mean if you're willing to take them out, just put them back.
13:53
SPEAKER_05: I've got a couple idea I've got a couple Metiquette ones out there.
13:57
SPEAKER_00: Wait, no, can we go back into the vomit one?
13:59
SPEAKER_00: Because that one is interesting, right?
14:01
SPEAKER_05: Well vomit, but also we can tail on to if it's a mixed toilet, toilet brush.
14:07
SPEAKER_05: Don't leave your skiddies in the toilet.
14:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's that is a regular occurrence at my gym.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: Is it is it is a unisex toilet?
14:16
SPEAKER_05: Unisex toilets and skids almost every time and then you're having to do it because you don't want the next person who's gonna come and go, that girl's grim, she's just left a massive mudslide in the toilet.
14:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that just add to it.
14:30
SPEAKER_00: I always I always just think if I walk into a pub toilet and see skiddies, I'm like, I'm not cleaning that up because I know that the next bloke that goes in there is probably gonna think it was the bloke before me or before that.
14:42
SPEAKER_00: Like the chances of me being quite low.
14:44
SPEAKER_05: Overthink it, you know.
14:45
SPEAKER_00: You are how do you know, guys?
14:48
SPEAKER_00: I think there's more of a girl girl mentality there.
14:51
SPEAKER_05: But some do you know sometimes I go into one and I'm like, you know what, not today.
14:55
SPEAKER_05: And I walk out with a disgusted face, just so people know that I've noticed that.
15:00
SPEAKER_06: I've got the other one, there's another one of them.
15:02
SPEAKER_06: I'm like, great.
15:03
SPEAKER_06: Today's a skid cleaning day.
15:05
SPEAKER_06: Ten reps of skid scrubs.
15:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, weighted toilet brushes should be a thing to do.
15:11
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they should.
15:11
SPEAKER_00: I just rather not shit in public though.
15:13
SPEAKER_00: Do you know what I mean?
15:14
SPEAKER_05: Oh, so some people, you know, have some heavy pre-workouts.
15:18
SPEAKER_08: Out.
15:19
SPEAKER_08: Out.
15:19
SPEAKER_08: I think that's just a I don't even think that's a gym etiquette thing.
15:22
SPEAKER_08: That is just a general etiquette.
15:23
SPEAKER_00: General etiquette, just like you know, don't leave it as you found it.
15:28
SPEAKER_00: Just but if it's if you find it in an awful state, I mean, you you know, they just go you go into a festival toilet and it's horrible.
15:35
SPEAKER_00: I mean, then there's like there's different etiquettes for different toilets, you know.
15:40
SPEAKER_06: Festival toilet.
15:41
SPEAKER_06: Well, can't go, that wasn't me.
15:43
SPEAKER_08: I mean, there's there's something wrong with a festival toilet if it's clean.
15:46
SPEAKER_08: Like, if it's clean, you're like, wait, hold on.
15:48
SPEAKER_08: What's wrong with this one?
15:49
SPEAKER_08: Is no one using it?
15:50
SPEAKER_08: It's the VIP toilet sort of thing.
15:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
15:53
SPEAKER_06: Remember the Boomtown toilets on the last day.
15:56
SPEAKER_06: That's just a crap on the floor.
15:59
SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
15:59
SPEAKER_05: Well, how?
16:00
SPEAKER_00: Was that the eco toilets where you just threw into like some right for a few days and then it just got bad.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: It was hot, wasn't it?
16:08
SPEAKER_05: It was hot.
16:09
SPEAKER_05: Well, no, when when I went, it was the first year.
16:13
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
16:13
SPEAKER_05: And it was very rainy.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, no, it was.
16:16
SPEAKER_00: I was wearing a poncho.
16:17
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, muddy and just poo on the floor.
16:20
SPEAKER_00: Skid maxing.
16:22
SPEAKER_00: Skid maxing.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: Goes quite well with finger maxing, if you think about it.
16:30
SPEAKER_06: Vomiting on the floor.
16:31
SPEAKER_00: No, but okay, no, honestly, back to this one, right?
16:34
SPEAKER_00: Uh about once a year we have someone vomit at the gym.
16:38
SPEAKER_00: Right?
16:39
SPEAKER_00: Maybe last year, I think we just had it once.
16:42
SPEAKER_00: Now, obviously, that that individual has pushed themselves very hard to their limit.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: And they're they're seeing double and they vomit on the floor.
16:50
SPEAKER_00: Who cleans that up?
16:53
SPEAKER_05: They do.
16:54
SPEAKER_08: They should they should help clean it up.
16:56
SPEAKER_05: You help them.
16:57
SPEAKER_08: You you provide the supplies, they clean up the cloud.
16:59
SPEAKER_05: And the moral support.
17:00
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
17:03
SPEAKER_05: Most clients that I've had, if they I've actually never had a client fully throw them up on me, I don't think, but when they have felt sick, they've gone around the back of here.
17:12
SPEAKER_05: They've felt a bit uh I don't want to be sick in front of people.
17:14
SPEAKER_05: I go, quick, go around outside.
17:16
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, back of the studio.
17:18
SPEAKER_08: What do you think, guy?
17:20
SPEAKER_08: What do you do?
17:20
SPEAKER_08: What what what do you do?
17:22
SPEAKER_00: Well what I usually do is slap them in the face and say, Why did you do that?
17:26
SPEAKER_00: And get out my gym.
17:28
SPEAKER_00: I never want to see you again.
17:30
SPEAKER_00: And then and then I clean it up.
17:31
SPEAKER_05: Well, I was gonna say then you get Simon with a steam cleaner to come.
17:37
SPEAKER_00: No, it's it's it usually it's in the bushes.
17:40
SPEAKER_00: We we've I think twice we've had it on the gym floor, and I mean we've been open for four years, so it's it's bound to happen.
17:47
SPEAKER_00: And it's usually people when they first come to the gym, and it's usually men, not often women, and men kind of like have this thing where they're like, Oh, I can push harder than I think, and they push beyond what they're capable of.
18:00
SPEAKER_00: And you you can kind of tell when someone's on the verge, and you're like, You're right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.
18:05
SPEAKER_00: And they keep pushing, and then it happens.
18:07
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, You did that to yourself.
18:10
SPEAKER_00: You you you you I gave you options to stop, but you kept there was no need for that.
18:16
SPEAKER_00: Just back off a little bit, and so don't ask for your pints the night before.
18:20
SPEAKER_00: Usually it's it's um yeah, they offer to help clean up, but it there's an element of I kind of feel bad for that person because the embarrassment, and then also like they're coming to the gym, they're clearly out of shape and they want to be better, and then making like I don't know.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: Here it's different because it's classes and personal training, so there's probably a higher level of service.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: I mean, if someone pukes at fucking put pure gym, you were cleaning that up yourself, and you're having you know long, deep thoughts about what you did in public.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you need to be humiliated.
18:55
SPEAKER_08: How how like likely is it?
18:59
SPEAKER_08: How rare is it to throw up when you're doing like strength stuff?
19:03
SPEAKER_08: Like, I get it, if you're doing loads of cardio, like down at the track, right?
19:07
SPEAKER_08: We have our sessions, we've got a few lads that will be in between reps behind the clubhouse, throwing up, yeah, and then they'll come back and they'll run the last rep.
19:16
SPEAKER_08: Some of the lactic sessions they make you feel sick, yeah, yeah, and a lot of that isn't really down to it's anything, it's just pushing your limits, right?
19:24
SPEAKER_00: But it's also fueling like most of the time, people have eaten just a little bit too close to the training.
19:31
SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, but sometimes throwing up, I mean, we used to get lads always throw up from the adrenaline before rugby games, like because your body just gets all weird and you're all jittery, and you know, people run off the side of it quick projectile vomit and they feel better, and it's just like it happens all the time.
19:50
SPEAKER_00: Um, fortunately, I've never been the one to throw up before games.
19:54
SPEAKER_00: Sam, he would puke and he'd puke, he'd puke, and then he'd be like, puke on the pitch, and then I'd be like, I'm not getting tackled into that zone.
20:05
SPEAKER_00: And what what it was funny, it was kickoff, so and then Sam thrown up, he had the ball thrown straight at him and then got tackled, and the guy went straight into a play a game you stinking for like cheesy sick.
20:21
SPEAKER_00: Oh man, it's just like uh so upset.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: Like trying to not and then just doing it in his hands on the floor, and then the whistle goes to start the game, and I was like, that's not okay.
20:34
SPEAKER_06: Staying away.
20:36
SPEAKER_08: We had a similar one.
20:38
SPEAKER_08: There's a lad in our training group that ran the podium 5k in Battersea, and he went viral, not on his own video, but on Hugo Frye's video.
20:49
SPEAKER_08: So Hugo Frye is kind of run influencer, has run some pretty quick times as well, has gone through the line 5k.
20:58
SPEAKER_08: He's run a PB, so he's gone and posted it everywhere.
21:01
SPEAKER_08: Just next to him is one of our guys on our on our team in our training group, Toby.
21:06
SPEAKER_08: He's thrown up, and apparently he's like, I didn't realise I was gonna do this.
21:10
SPEAKER_08: He goes over the line, he throws up into his own hand, he catches it, but he's right in front of the camera.
21:18
SPEAKER_08: So you've got Hugo celebrating, and then the guy behind him's just gone and all of the comments it's gone viral.
21:26
SPEAKER_08: Great for Hugo's account.
21:28
SPEAKER_00: I've seen this video I've seen this video, yeah, yeah.
21:31
SPEAKER_08: Everything's about Toby just going like wow, like to catch your own sick.
21:40
SPEAKER_01: And it was just perfect.
21:42
SPEAKER_08: So good.
21:43
SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna tag it in the this video, I'm gonna clip it.
21:46
SPEAKER_00: So a gym's a pretty bad place to throw up, any any place public.
21:50
SPEAKER_00: When people are throwing up at pubs, they're usually so drunk they're not gonna remember anyway.
21:54
SPEAKER_00: But where do you think the worst place to be sick is?
21:59
SPEAKER_08: What within a Gym space.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: No, no, just just in general.
22:02
SPEAKER_00: I mean, public spaces are pretty pretty awful, right?
22:05
SPEAKER_08: I mean, maybe like I was gonna say a funeral, but actually it's probably fair, you know.
22:11
SPEAKER_08: Um maybe maybe if you're waiting in line for a Starbucks that that's pretty awful.
22:20
SPEAKER_00: You know, you just throw up early in the morning.
22:23
SPEAKER_00: Train stations are pretty bad.
22:25
SPEAKER_08: Anyway inside.
22:26
SPEAKER_05: On a train as well, just awkward.
22:27
SPEAKER_00: Oh god, on a train.
22:29
SPEAKER_05: Everybody's going, what the fuck is that smell?
22:31
SPEAKER_05: Like, that's awkward vibes.
22:34
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, why is Charlotte thrown up again?
22:35
SPEAKER_08: Like, what the fuck?
22:36
SPEAKER_00: I I think I've done it in the worst place ever.
22:40
SPEAKER_00: I did I did it a projectile vomited on a plane.
22:42
SPEAKER_06: Down the aisle, didn't you?
22:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had to, we were taking off and I had barley belly.
22:47
SPEAKER_00: I drank some dodgy, well, I put ice cubes in my drink on the last night.
22:51
SPEAKER_00: Rookie, rookie era.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: Um and it we actually landed the first part, the flight from um Bali to Dubai.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: I was okay.
23:01
SPEAKER_00: The second leg from Dubai to think um to Gatwick, uh, we'd taken off, I'd passed out, I was so sick, and then I woke up and I was like, I need to vomit.
23:12
SPEAKER_00: Got up from my seat, the seatbelt signs were on, started running towards the toilet, and the air hostess was like, sit down, sit down.
23:19
SPEAKER_00: And I went, oh no.
23:21
SPEAKER_00: And I literally projectile vomit up the aisle, and I can remember so vividly people looking up and looking at me like, oh my god.
23:29
SPEAKER_00: I never I just never like the look of despair in their face.
23:34
SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, it was just like a water, it wasn't like anyway, it was chunky.
23:39
SPEAKER_00: And I ran and I was like, Oh my god, I feel so bad.
23:41
SPEAKER_00: So I ran so hard into the toilet, I broke, like I went shoulder first into the toilet door, broke the door off its hinges, and then I was just like by the toilet, and the air hostesses were like gathered round me, and they they were like, Are you okay?
23:56
SPEAKER_00: Are you okay?
23:57
SPEAKER_00: And that for some reason, then they got that they had an air marshal and put them back, and then they started asking me all these questions, like they thought I'd like swallowed some drugs, and I was like, I don't I don't know what they thought was going on.
24:07
SPEAKER_00: So I had to answer all these questions.
24:09
SPEAKER_00: They sat me at the back of the plane, and then they kind of sussed out that I probably just had barley belly and water poisoning.
24:15
SPEAKER_00: Um, and then I because they didn't want to put me because I was so sick, they couldn't put me back in my place.
24:22
SPEAKER_00: So they said, Oh, we got a bed for you up front.
24:24
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, What?
24:25
SPEAKER_00: If they have like a I was so ill, I was like, Oh, I've got a hospital on this plane.
24:30
SPEAKER_00: It's like and I was like, Was it a nurse up there as well?
24:35
SPEAKER_00: They were like, No, no, no, we'll put you in first class next to a toilet.
24:38
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Right, really?
24:39
SPEAKER_00: And they were like, Do you have any friends?
24:41
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Yeah, yeah, I've got Hugo.
24:43
SPEAKER_00: So I got go up and I find Hugo as a tap and I said, mate, look, I'm so ill.
24:47
SPEAKER_00: Um, I've got us upgraded to first class.
24:50
SPEAKER_00: And he was like, Fuck off.
24:51
SPEAKER_00: No, no, you haven't.
24:51
SPEAKER_00: I was like, no, mate, stay ever for Hugo.
24:53
SPEAKER_06: Worst ever for you.
24:55
SPEAKER_00: I've caused a massive scene.
24:56
SPEAKER_00: I've thrown up all over the plane, everyone hates me back there.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: Like when I went to grab my stuff, like everyone was just looking at me.
25:03
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I feel really uncomfortable.
25:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go to my seat, but come with me.
25:06
SPEAKER_00: You got and he didn't believe me.
25:08
SPEAKER_00: So anyway, I went up and he was like, Oh, fuck off, guy.
25:11
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, the the air hostesses go down.
25:13
SPEAKER_00: So no, no, honestly.
25:14
SPEAKER_00: He got a free upgrade, he had the best flight.
25:16
SPEAKER_00: Um, I was in and out of sleep, going to the toilet every every time they brought a meal out.
25:23
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, that that's apart from the public spaces are bad, but plane was was the worst and most humiliating.
25:30
SPEAKER_00: I was I was almost too too ill to even realise how embarrassing it was, though.
25:34
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, do you think that's a very reliable way to get an upgrade?
25:37
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
25:37
SPEAKER_08: Do you reckon if you did it again it would work?
25:38
SPEAKER_08: It's puke maxing.
25:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, puke maxing.
25:41
SPEAKER_08: That's it.
25:42
SPEAKER_00: Goes alongside with finger maxing and uh fist maxing, skid maxing, skid maxing.
25:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
25:50
SPEAKER_08: Okay, Charlotte, where's the worst for you?
25:53
SPEAKER_05: Throwing up I think it would be plain.
25:55
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
25:57
SPEAKER_08: Understandable for a lot of things because people you know get a little bit plain sick or altitude sickness and stuff.
26:04
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but when you do it all over the place.
26:06
SPEAKER_08: Well imagine it.
26:06
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and you make such a such a beggy thing to do.
26:09
SPEAKER_08: Sit down!
26:10
SPEAKER_00: Oh bursting doors and breaking things.
26:14
SPEAKER_08: I know it was You could have just thrown up, mate, honestly.
26:17
SPEAKER_00: No, I needed to get to that toilet.
26:20
SPEAKER_02: So they have the sick bags, don't they?
26:23
SPEAKER_00: It's it's I don't know.
26:25
SPEAKER_00: I didn't have time.
26:27
SPEAKER_05: That wasn't sick, that was the devil.
26:30
SPEAKER_00: You know, in like a horror movie when you see like someone possessed and they start throwing up all over the world.
26:35
SPEAKER_00: That was me.
26:36
SPEAKER_06: Spinning in circles.
26:39
SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure it went on some people's shoes and stuff.
26:41
SPEAKER_00: It was not nice.
26:42
SPEAKER_05: That's God.
26:44
SPEAKER_08: Do we even want to stay on this topic?
26:45
SPEAKER_05: No, I got Metticat.
26:47
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, please, thank you.
26:48
SPEAKER_08: Thank you.
26:48
SPEAKER_05: I should have my laptop here and look be Charlie for the day.
26:51
SPEAKER_05: Sitting on the epithet.
26:52
SPEAKER_08: You know, I don't have anything on my laptop.
26:54
SPEAKER_05: I know you just have to look authoritative.
26:56
SPEAKER_08: Uh yes.
26:57
SPEAKER_08: But today, yeah.
26:58
SPEAKER_05: Sometimes we had kind of little okay, what what do we need to keep being a bit more structured with?
27:03
SPEAKER_05: Anyway, talking of structure, sitting on your phone for ten minutes in between sets is unacceptable.
27:10
SPEAKER_05: One you're if you're sitting on the equipment as well.
27:12
SPEAKER_00: Alright.
27:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if you're sitting on a bench, that's like not having your phone underneath your bum.
27:17
SPEAKER_05: No, no, sitting on your phone, playing that candy crush saga for ten minutes in between each set.
27:23
SPEAKER_05: And then doing a set and going no no fatigue, just really lightweight.
27:30
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
27:32
SPEAKER_08: Candy crush.
27:33
SPEAKER_08: Candy crush.
27:35
SPEAKER_08: 100%.
27:36
SPEAKER_05: Excuse me, sir.
27:37
SPEAKER_05: How many more sets have you got left?
27:38
SPEAKER_05: Uh uh like five, Candy Crush.
27:42
SPEAKER_08: Candy crush?
27:43
SPEAKER_08: It's more like TikTok.
27:44
SPEAKER_08: No, but you know what the answer would be, and I had this again yesterday.
27:47
SPEAKER_08: Snapchat.
27:48
SPEAKER_08: Was there was a guy that was on the leg extension machine for quite a while.
27:52
SPEAKER_08: I was like, okay, you know, he's working pretty hard.
27:54
SPEAKER_08: But then he kind of sat there chatting to his mate for a while, probably a couple of minutes.
27:58
SPEAKER_08: And I went over and I was like, you know, after I put the 1kg dumbbell back, I was like, oh, how many sets you got left?
28:03
SPEAKER_08: He's like, oh no, I'm done.
28:04
SPEAKER_08: And I was like, Oh, I mean, fantastic.
28:07
SPEAKER_08: But also, I could have been on there ages ago.
28:10
SPEAKER_05: Done sat on the sat on the seat.
28:13
SPEAKER_08: That's probably the most likely thing, is they're on their phone and they don't even have a number of sets that they're doing.
28:17
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
28:18
SPEAKER_08: Because I don't think if you're on your phone that much, like fair, like I've been look- you know, logging all your weights.
28:23
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, fair, but also it doesn't take that long.
28:25
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
28:26
SPEAKER_05: Um, but and a little a little bit, a little bit of phone time, fine.
28:30
SPEAKER_05: As long as you're you're not there for ages, like, but really just try and you know.
28:35
SPEAKER_00: I think it's such a temptation though, it's always going to sidetrack people.
28:39
SPEAKER_00: I I I was thinking if I was to train at a public gym, I would probably get, like, you know, the old iPod shuffles and and iPods, you know, a music device where you don't have anything else.
28:49
SPEAKER_00: Because it's so easy to get, oh, I got a text, oh, I should probably answer that email, and then you get kind of get sucked, and then then 10 minutes goes and you're like, but that's the benefit of classes, right?
28:58
SPEAKER_00: There's no opportunity, people literally can't go on their their phone in the class because you you're taken through it, and that hour you are working out.
29:06
SPEAKER_00: I think a lot of people are unaware of how productive that hour is compared to when you're training on your own because you are taking longer rest periods, you're going on your phone, you're procrastinating a little bit, and and it yeah, you're not getting an awful lot done in an hour.
29:21
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
29:21
SPEAKER_05: And it's I think it's yeah, it's also so dependent on the day.
29:24
SPEAKER_05: Like sometimes I've had days where you know I've not been feeling the gym and I I've then I've clocked them on the phone for I'm like, Charlotte, get off the phone.
29:31
SPEAKER_05: I just don't you just you find yourself in there for way too long.
29:34
SPEAKER_05: And also, but just also having courtesy for like other people as well.
29:37
SPEAKER_05: Like this kind of ties in with that and you know, the whole gym etiquette subject.
29:41
SPEAKER_05: It's like, you know, if you have clock that you've been on there for a while, and someone does, you know, they ask how many sex you've got left, you know, just offer up if they want to hop in, especially if it's like a pin-loaded machine, it's easy to kind of switch over in and out.
29:53
SPEAKER_05: It actually keeps you more looked into your workout, and then the other person's not waiting there thinking, what a douche.
29:59
SPEAKER_05: But that's my question for you guys.
30:00
SPEAKER_05: What's your opinion on people coming up to you in the middle of a workout?
30:05
SPEAKER_05: Like, say you've maybe just got on a machine, or you know, you're on you're on something, do something, and someone goes, Excuse me, how many more sex you've got left?
30:11
SPEAKER_00: Um, I think if the gym's really busy, I think it's valid.
30:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh, I think it just improves time efficiency as long as you're using roughly the same weight.
30:19
SPEAKER_00: But if it's pin loaded, I guess it's it's fine.
30:21
SPEAKER_00: If it's plate-loaded, it's a bit more complicated.
30:23
SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, I think you're in a public space, you should be allowed to share that equipment and yeah, share sharing machines and and squat racks, valid.
30:34
SPEAKER_05: And how do you feel if someone asks you how many sets you've got left?
30:37
SPEAKER_00: Oh, like five.
30:39
SPEAKER_05: Do you ever think, oh, go away?
30:40
SPEAKER_05: I think there's I've I've seen mixed opinions online.
30:42
SPEAKER_05: Some people are like, it ruins my workout, if someone asks me.
30:45
SPEAKER_05: But I'm like, Why?
30:46
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
30:47
SPEAKER_08: I don't I mean, I I am very relaxed and accepting of people's situations.
30:53
SPEAKER_08: Like, even if I think some people might get annoyed, not if they're on like if they've got one set left and someone comes and you know asks them, but if they've literally just got on the machine, it seems like a piss take.
31:04
SPEAKER_08: Like, let's say you've just done your first set, someone comes over and says how many sets you got left, and you're like, I've literally just got on the machine.
31:10
SPEAKER_08: But in reality, no one's paying that much attention.
31:13
SPEAKER_08: Like, no one, I'm I kind of look around quite a lot before if I've seen someone's using a certain rack or certain like piece of equipment, and they've gone and walked and fill up their water bottle, I'm kind of like, are they gonna come back and use it?
31:26
SPEAKER_08: Are they gonna you know you give them a lot of time because I mean people aren't really paying attention and if you get it wrong, you get it wrong.
31:32
SPEAKER_08: But I just don't think there's any I don't think there's any benefit in being in feeling entitled to a piece of equipment.
31:39
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, like you all pay to use the gym and you know, unless it is a bit of a joke, like you there is one machine and it's like an empty gym, and you know someone could just switch it up.
31:50
SPEAKER_08: I mean, I'll just have a rotation of exercises and it's sometimes not ideal.
31:55
SPEAKER_08: Sometimes, you know, if in doubt, go do more calf raises.
31:58
SPEAKER_08: If in doubt, go and do a skid in the toilet.
32:01
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, exactly in the toilet.
32:03
SPEAKER_08: So but I I don't know, yeah, as a on a on a yes, serious note, I just don't think as we said before, people aren't paying that much attention for better or for worse.
32:12
SPEAKER_08: Like, you know, there might be the sizing up, there might be the comparison thing, but largely that's in our own heads.
32:17
SPEAKER_05: And that's it, like especially re regardless of who you are, like what your status is, like you're all paying the same membership for the gym, like period.
32:27
SPEAKER_05: Do you know what I mean?
32:27
SPEAKER_05: Like, and I think another thing, like if you if you go up to someone and you ask them how many sex they've got left and they just hit you with I've just got started, it's like, can you just only thing that ask is like just be a bit more like okay, how how many is that?
32:41
SPEAKER_05: Just so I can I I'll hop around.
32:43
SPEAKER_05: But I I also will like I try I try to give people grace with machines as well.
32:46
SPEAKER_05: Like I I'll wait for a little bit before I go and ask them because I don't want to be like badgering them because I know some for some people it will put them off, but then sometimes you're like, okay, I've been waiting for a while, and then you go up.
32:56
SPEAKER_05: But yeah, I just just you know being aware of yourself on the machine or or whatever piece of equipment you're using, but also you know yeah.
33:06
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and I think going back to the phone the phone thing is I mean, I'm a massive fan of like presence, as we all know, you know, presence is is key and being present in a session, meaning dedicating your full awareness and energy to the moment or the movement or um any sort of like mental cue is You're right, Charlie.
33:33
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, just my water bottle just run out of plastic.
33:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, disintegrated.
33:45
SPEAKER_00: You've just been drinking Oh, that's what you meant.
33:48
SPEAKER_06: I thought you meant you've run out of water.
33:52
SPEAKER_00: Being guy like no, I I got it.
33:55
SPEAKER_00: I'm just like but where was I?
33:57
SPEAKER_05: Bring you in a special one.
33:58
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, being presently.
34:00
SPEAKER_08: Being present, there you go.
34:01
SPEAKER_08: Um, presence is a massive performance enhancer.
34:03
SPEAKER_08: Um, presence is is something that if you start splitting your attention by being on your phone loads, it takes so much time to get back to like being fully present.
34:14
SPEAKER_08: And you'll end up, you know, I think on average it takes 23 minutes since switching tasks to then get back in the zone.
34:21
SPEAKER_08: And if you do that literally twice in your session and go and especially going and scrolling on reels or something, then you're not going to be fully present in your sessions.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's about I yeah, I I that's why I quite like just putting my earphones in and not talking to anyone whilst I work out.
34:38
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
34:38
SPEAKER_00: It's I I probably have the most effective sessions where actually I'm not training with anyone unless someone's on the same program as me that's good.
34:49
SPEAKER_00: Like Harrison and I used to do that a lot, and you'd just be very locked in for that, and you wouldn't have your you wouldn't be on your phone.
34:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
34:55
SPEAKER_00: You just have your music.
34:57
SPEAKER_00: That that can work well, but when yeah, I other than each other as well, don't you?
35:02
SPEAKER_00: I quite enjoy just me, myself, and I too pursuing better than last week is the best way.
35:11
SPEAKER_00: But uh again with phones, filming in the gym.
35:16
SPEAKER_00: That's that's an interesting topic.
35:17
SPEAKER_05: Etiquette.
35:18
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
35:19
SPEAKER_08: Where do you want to go with it?
35:21
SPEAKER_00: Well uh one, it's got there's got to be a a rule in the gym whether it's allowed or not, right?
35:29
SPEAKER_00: Because most some gyms don't allow it, so don't film in the gym that you're not allowed to film in.
35:35
SPEAKER_00: I mean that's pretty self-explanatory, yet people still do.
35:39
SPEAKER_00: Now, in if you are training in a gym where people are allowed to film and they're filming content, they are not filming you, they are filming themselves, explaining and trying to help other people.
35:52
SPEAKER_00: If you're gonna I think if they're pretty chill and that you know that they're doing that content to help others, great, but don't expect everyone to get out the way of your camera whilst you're filming in the gym and getting shitty about that or get annoyed about it, yeah.
36:10
SPEAKER_00: Because it's a public space you're trying to film in.
36:12
SPEAKER_00: And if someone needs to walk past the camera to grab a dumbbell, like that's just something you gotta deal with, right?
36:19
SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't get the uh sometimes people are posting, oh you know, people walk in front of my camera or people looking at me.
36:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, no, you do have a camera in the gym where you're filming yourself.
36:29
SPEAKER_00: People are naturally gonna look and be like, what are they filming?
36:33
SPEAKER_00: You know, what are they doing?
36:36
SPEAKER_00: Is it a freaky, weird, perverted thing?
36:39
SPEAKER_00: I I think like do you know what I mean?
36:42
SPEAKER_00: A lot of the time, if you have a camera set up in the gym, people probably just curious to go, what are they filming?
36:48
SPEAKER_05: What they're filming, yeah.
36:49
SPEAKER_00: Do you know what I mean?
36:50
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes that there is gonna be the pervert you're gonna capture on camera who's been staring at you for the past three weeks, and you put a camera up and you catch him.
36:56
SPEAKER_00: Cool, I get it.
36:57
SPEAKER_00: And then you put it behind you doing RDLs just doing this.
36:59
SPEAKER_00: But a lot of the time, like, you see so much content online, right?
37:03
SPEAKER_00: Of gym stuff.
37:06
SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
37:08
SPEAKER_00: You're good at that.
37:09
SPEAKER_00: But the truth is practice like not a lot of people film in the gym.
37:13
SPEAKER_00: Like, really, you you are you do stand out like a sore thumb if you are filming.
37:17
SPEAKER_00: Um so yeah, I think it's in my opinion, and it's like if you're in the gym, you you can do it.
37:24
SPEAKER_00: Just don't get shitty at people when they get in the way of the camera.
37:26
SPEAKER_05: Watch Joey Joey Swell on Instagram, and also if you Joey Swell calls out people who get shitty with people.
37:34
SPEAKER_05: Joey does, isn't he?
37:35
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he's great.
37:36
SPEAKER_05: If you are filming as well, though, just being aware of your surroundings and like not putting your tripod in front of somewhere where someone needs to go, like not putting it in like a walkway, or if it's a really busy, if it's if the gym is really busy, just you know, and you're filming it for your Instagram, maybe just don't film that session because you might be getting people in the background who might be uncomfortable, and or just you know, yeah, like directing the camera so there's not other people.
38:02
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
38:02
SPEAKER_05: I think I know a lot of people will get you know a bit awkward about that and they don't want to be in someone's background shot, which it's it's so completely understandable.
38:11
SPEAKER_05: And I usually say, like, if I'm trying to film something, especially if it's something to like put up on my Instagram, I try my best to not get people in the background.
38:17
SPEAKER_05: Like it's the inevitable sometimes.
38:19
SPEAKER_05: Like you're gonna have a piece of equipment where people are walking behind, maybe some's doing a couple of squats, but yeah, just making sure that you're not being a douche with the tripod.
38:29
SPEAKER_08: Have you had any interesting interactions, Charlotte, with no?
38:33
SPEAKER_05: You know what?
38:34
SPEAKER_05: I've just uh people have been quite sweet usually, and I think uh you get people apologising for walking in the way of the camera, and I've I've caught caught those before those interactions before.
38:42
SPEAKER_05: And I'm not like don't be silly, like it's your gym just as much as it's mine.
38:45
SPEAKER_05: Right.
38:46
SPEAKER_05: Do it again, keep walking in front of it.
38:47
SPEAKER_05: Go on, go on.
38:48
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, getting really annoyed.
38:49
SPEAKER_05: No, you don't, because it's your gym again.
38:51
SPEAKER_05: Going back to the point of us saying, you know, you're all paying the same membership, you know, you're not paying a premium to get your camera out.
38:58
SPEAKER_05: So, like, just don't be a douche and be nice to people, and just you know, like, no, absolutely fine, don't worry, like, I'm just recording a set.
39:05
SPEAKER_05: And you get you know, some people equally on the other side of it, like you get some people being a little bit too arsey about someone recording their workout.
39:12
SPEAKER_05: And I've seen videos online where people taking the mick out of people who are just recording the set, and actually, sometimes just people just want to record it to show their coach for form or to kind of check their own form themselves.
39:21
SPEAKER_05: So, you know, there's both sides of it.
39:23
SPEAKER_05: Like, don't be a douche with your camera, you know, be considerate of others, but also if you're someone who doesn't get your camera out, don't take the mic out of people who do because maybe they're trying to make a living out of it, or maybe they're sending something to their coach, and you know, it might be they might feel a bit insecure about it, so it goes both ways, I think.
39:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I'm pretty pro like content.
39:42
SPEAKER_00: If it's not even for content for just literally looking at your form, it really helps.
39:47
SPEAKER_00: Um, I I did an Instagram post a while back about how a weight feels is very different to the way it looks, and sometimes you know, I'll be doing a heavy session on deadlifts or squats, and after the set, I'll be like, Fucking hell, that felt like a ton.
40:02
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I can do any more than that, and then I'll watch the video back and it moves so cleanly, and I'm like, oh no, I should probably go heavier.
40:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um, so it can be quite good feedback, especially if you don't have a training partner or someone to kind of tell you.
40:17
SPEAKER_00: But then also, like, I get all my online clients to send me videos of their their compound lifts to see critique their technique as well, and then you know, they're filming in the gym or just ask them, Oh, can you just film a set for me?
40:28
SPEAKER_00: I just need to send it to my coach.
40:30
SPEAKER_00: Like, there's a lot of other benefits to to getting videos done of your sets if you're coaching yourself or sending it to a coach rather than just the content.
40:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, facts.
40:38
SPEAKER_00: So um, yeah.
40:40
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I guess there's the the flip side.
40:42
SPEAKER_08: I mean, my the gym that I go to, it literally has signs around the gym saying um put a deposit down and you get a tripod to film, and then it says tag the gym in the in the workouts.
40:56
SPEAKER_06: Oh, is that foundry?
40:58
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so it promotes it, right?
41:00
SPEAKER_08: So I'll I'll go and give them ma car keys, they'll give me a tripod, good little tripod, and then I can film my brilliant my little rehab more.
41:07
SPEAKER_05: It's quite Instagram vibes there.
41:09
SPEAKER_08: So is it's it depends obviously on the gym.
41:11
SPEAKER_08: Then being at Tumbra's School Gym, um, naturally more like a boys' school gym, partly, even though they've got separate gym times.
41:19
SPEAKER_08: One of the things it will say is obviously like put back your weights, clean down your machines, and don't film anything.
41:26
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so it's like okay, just don't film.
41:28
SPEAKER_08: Um, but it's interesting the environment being different.
41:31
SPEAKER_08: And then also, I mean, I I kind of go back to on every single idea of like filming in a public place because I still don't really like doing it.
41:41
SPEAKER_08: Um if I could get away with first of all, because I like just doing my session, I'm a bit of a purist with like training.
41:47
SPEAKER_08: If I could get away with not filming it, I wouldn't film it.
41:50
SPEAKER_08: And then when I do film it, I'll film literally one set and be like, right, that's just for content, and then I might reuse it or whatever.
41:56
SPEAKER_08: But I think just if you are if you want to film in the gym and you're like self-conscious or you're thinking too much about what other people might think, first of all, it's a great opportunity to get over that fear.
42:08
SPEAKER_08: But then also I think the best thing to do is to imagine if someone came up to you and asked why you were filming, if they were genuinely curious and not judging you for it, you know, how would that conversation go?
42:22
SPEAKER_08: Like I feel like I'm as when I was in my in my brace and filming, um, I know that my my perception of what people would think of me is probably a lot more along the lines of, oh, that's really cool.
42:35
SPEAKER_08: Like he's you know, doing his he's doing what he can in the gym even though he's injured or whatever.
42:40
SPEAKER_08: But let's say that I had more of an invisible injury, let's say even now, like even if you don't you can't see the scarring or whatever, and exactly the same scenario, I just don't have the brace on, like how you would perceive it differently.
42:55
SPEAKER_08: And I think playing those little like thought experiments of is it what people think or is it what you perceive people to think is quite a cool little thing which will get you over a lot of anxieties and fears and whatnot.
43:09
SPEAKER_05: Definitely.
43:10
SPEAKER_05: I've got another one.
43:12
SPEAKER_05: Yes.
43:13
SPEAKER_08: Go, go.
43:14
SPEAKER_05: Grunting in the gym.
43:17
SPEAKER_05: Now there's there's levels to grunting in the gym.
43:21
SPEAKER_05: What's your opinion on people going didn't want to do that into Mike.
43:28
SPEAKER_05: Echoes around the whole gym.
43:29
SPEAKER_05: Everyone knows that you're you you pushed out your 15kg dumbbells above your head.
43:36
SPEAKER_08: Guy.
43:38
SPEAKER_00: See, I don't I I I will consciously try and make minimal noise in a public gym, but here there's no I don't try and not make a noise, so it just sky is the limit.
43:48
SPEAKER_00: It involuntary like it just happens.
43:50
SPEAKER_00: Especially doing like Olympic weightlifting.
43:53
SPEAKER_00: Like uh even in public gyms where I do Olympic weightlifting, there is a there is like a weird Like I can't even do it unless I'm doing it.
44:03
SPEAKER_00: Um but I c I literally can't control that.
44:05
SPEAKER_00: It just kind of happens, but it's not loud.
44:08
SPEAKER_00: Um I'm not kind of shouting, but a little bit I think's okay, but really like screaming and shouting in a gym, especially a public one, is just not yeah, it's not the vibe.
44:19
SPEAKER_08: Is it necessary?
44:20
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, sometimes, yeah.
44:22
SPEAKER_08: You know?
44:23
SPEAKER_08: Big powerlifting gyms, yeah, get your core engaged.
44:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
44:28
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it depends on the gym.
44:30
SPEAKER_05: It depends on the gym.
44:31
SPEAKER_00: There's been some big powerlifting gyms, and it's just normal.
44:34
SPEAKER_00: Everything you're hearing clanging of the weights, people are shouting, like getting each other pumped up.
44:39
SPEAKER_00: There's just you know, that is the culture within that gym, um, which to a lot of people is terrifying and they will never set foot in there.
44:47
SPEAKER_00: But for those people that choose to train there, they absolutely love it.
44:51
SPEAKER_00: They love walking in the gym and hearing grunting and groaning and shouting and plates clattering and like barbell slamming.
44:57
SPEAKER_00: Like that's for them, that's like their dream gym.
45:01
SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, go into your local David Lloyd and and screaming and shouting and give someone a heart attack.
45:08
SPEAKER_05: Cancels they deny your membership.
45:11
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, deny a embassy, shit.
45:13
SPEAKER_00: Do you I mean do we have many people grunting you?
45:16
SPEAKER_00: I mean like here dad probably grunts the most out of all yeah, out of all the members.
45:23
SPEAKER_05: Grunts from multiple areas.
45:25
SPEAKER_05: Um it's sometimes for me, I think.
45:28
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think there's to an extent, sometimes it can be necessary, as you say about your bracing.
45:34
SPEAKER_05: I think sometimes the thing that makes me laugh is I'll see people using like a cable machine, they're doing like a tricep pushdown or something, and it's quite light, and they'll be grunting the whole way through, and then they feel like You're so judgmental about people's lightweight.
45:47
SPEAKER_05: You guys need to come to my gym and Tom as well, and you'll understand.
45:49
SPEAKER_00: What gym but for them that might be really challenging?
45:54
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
45:54
SPEAKER_05: I think some people would do it.
45:56
unknown: What is that?
45:57
SPEAKER_00: It's a mosquito, it's good.
45:58
SPEAKER_08: And that's that's instant karma for you judging people.
46:01
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, we're supposed to have a really inclusive community here.
46:04
SPEAKER_05: You guys would cancel this though.
46:05
SPEAKER_05: It gets to the end of their set and they let go of the cable and it slams the plates and it can break the cake machine.
46:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but that's the bit I was tailing on to.
46:12
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's part two of the gym etiquette.
46:15
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
46:16
SPEAKER_05: How many more can Charlotte rack from her brain?
46:18
SPEAKER_08: But I I want to stay on um I wanna stay on that one.
46:24
SPEAKER_08: Charlotte's trying to swat away a fly.
46:26
SPEAKER_08: Ah no, that was done.
46:28
SPEAKER_08: She's failing miserably.
46:29
SPEAKER_08: That was dust.
46:30
SPEAKER_08: Um I mean, being in a being in a performance gym in Clemson, being in a collegiate gym where the atmosphere is like massive.
46:40
SPEAKER_08: Everyone is you are there in a strength gym, and the people will oh my goodness, right.
46:46
SPEAKER_08: So the strongest people in the gym uh for track and field is most of the time.
46:53
SPEAKER_08: Well, sprinters are strong, but the shot putters and stuff, yeah.
46:57
SPEAKER_08: The throwers are bloody strong.
46:59
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I got they are putting up some numbers, they're athlete maxing, yeah.
47:03
SPEAKER_08: They are they are athlete maxing, they're strength maxing, they're throw maxing, throw maxing, they're just boulder maxing everything.
47:10
SPEAKER_08: And and the the gym, when they are load like loading up their weights, and you know they're gonna go for a big either like most of it is like a a squat or maybe like a trap bar deadlift or like a big clean or something, or a bench, you will kind of stop what you're doing and have a little peek over, and you'll go over and cheer them on.
47:32
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and it's huge, like it is mental, and it's the same with every little pocket.
47:37
SPEAKER_08: Like, we have let's say in our team, we might have uh eight 800 meter runners spread over four racks, you do it in pairs, you're paired up with the people that are in your in your ranges.
47:48
SPEAKER_08: If you know that someone's going for like a PB or something, you all go and like cheer them on, brilliant, and the vibes are absolutely fucking massive.
47:57
SPEAKER_08: Put that into a David Lloyd looks very out of place.
48:01
SPEAKER_08: So, you know, I mean culture, like I think express yourself in any way possible.
48:05
SPEAKER_08: I don't think the brakes should be on in any way, really, when you're in the gym, but just be mindful of what the accepted culture kind of is.
48:15
SPEAKER_05: I think you call that aura farming.
48:18
SPEAKER_08: Aura farming.
48:20
SPEAKER_07: You sound so much.
48:21
SPEAKER_05: I'm trying to use all the cool the cool terms, right?
48:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Charlie's just straight up aura farming, right?
48:27
SPEAKER_05: Loading up the deadlift, and people are watching you just aura farming.
48:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm just squat maxing, but whilst I'm doing that, I'm gathering around the people around me to aura farm me.
48:38
SPEAKER_05: And they're gonna vibe max vibe maxing, yeah.
48:41
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, amen.
48:44
SPEAKER_05: Anyway.
48:44
SPEAKER_08: Next one, Charlotte.
48:46
SPEAKER_05: I d I actually can't think of other things.
48:50
SPEAKER_00: I think TVs in the gym, are they good, are they bad?
48:53
SPEAKER_05: But just so weird, man.
48:55
SPEAKER_05: Just so weird.
48:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, in the cardio sections where they just got the news going.
48:58
SPEAKER_05: But it's also like Yeah, I don't mind it.
49:01
SPEAKER_08: American gyms, they have TVs absolutely everywhere.
49:03
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I'd have eight TVs I could see from one bike.
49:06
SPEAKER_00: On like the conditioning equipment, like even the modern ones have like TV in the bike and you're just cycling and watching your Netflix.
49:13
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I I that's what I've been doing.
49:14
SPEAKER_08: Cycling around the parks, cycling around the parks, swerving, swerving.
49:18
SPEAKER_08: Um I think that's alright.
49:19
SPEAKER_08: TVs, I you know, it's people's choice, really, isn't it?
49:22
SPEAKER_08: You know, if they want to watch it or not.
49:24
SPEAKER_08: Um, this is interesting actually.
49:25
SPEAKER_08: I was thinking about this yesterday because I spend a lot of time on the cardio machines, and specifically the cardio machines that there aren't many of, being the erg, being the ski erg, and being the Peloton bike.
49:37
SPEAKER_03: There's only one in the gym that I go to.
49:39
SPEAKER_08: It's a Peloton bike.
49:40
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's from how I'm watching all of the I was in uh Oregon yesterday.
49:45
SPEAKER_08: I was up and down the orange hills of Oregon.
49:47
SPEAKER_05: Let's go, Peloton.
49:48
SPEAKER_08: It was really cool.
49:49
SPEAKER_00: So does it auto-adjust or do you have to adjust it whilst it's doing that?
49:52
SPEAKER_08: The intensity and stuff, right?
49:54
SPEAKER_08: It ha you have the resistance, yeah.
49:56
SPEAKER_00: So do you does it say do it up a bit or does it automatically do that?
50:00
SPEAKER_08: No, I mean if you're it depends what you do.
50:03
SPEAKER_00: If you just say just ride or you want to do a course in the hills of Oregon, then you you just say quarter turn, full two full turns whilst you're going uphill and whatnot?
50:12
SPEAKER_08: No, no, you do it yourself.
50:15
SPEAKER_08: But it's but but it's just a core, it's just you're just going on a ride.
50:19
SPEAKER_08: However, it's a very good point, and I was thinking about it yesterday because I obviously think about a lot of stuff on my cycles, and uh one of it was the perceived exertion of going uphill versus going downhill, and I was wondering if a simulation of me cycling down a hill meant that I would be pedaling faster without realizing, and then in my head it would be harder if I was going uphill.
50:47
SPEAKER_05: Imagine like the what do you call them?
50:49
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but there's only a certain speed you want to go downhill because it gets pretty scary if you're cornering.
50:54
SPEAKER_08: You know I don't have to turn.
50:56
SPEAKER_00: So you would just like there's an infinitely long downhill.
51:01
SPEAKER_08: So I'm gonna I'm just sloping down.
51:02
SPEAKER_08: I'm going down.
51:03
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you're on the peloton.
51:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm on the peloton.
51:05
SPEAKER_00: But you you're talking in if you're on a road.
51:08
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
51:08
SPEAKER_00: Right?
51:09
SPEAKER_08: I'm on the static bike.
51:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
51:10
SPEAKER_08: But I can see the screen.
51:12
SPEAKER_08: You know what they should do.
51:12
SPEAKER_08: And it's it shows that I'm pedaling downhill, but the resistance doesn't change.
51:16
SPEAKER_08: I'm just wondering if I feel it I think think it's easier because I'm imagining myself cycling downhill.
51:21
SPEAKER_00: I think if you had a VR headset on and a bit of wind blowing in your face.
51:25
SPEAKER_00: How can you visualize it?
51:27
SPEAKER_00: It's pretty challenging.
51:29
SPEAKER_05: Caffeine, crowd, sound behind you.
51:32
unknown: Yeah.
51:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
51:33
SPEAKER_05: I just I just thought, you know, maybe.
51:35
SPEAKER_00: No, I think for sure, probably.
51:38
SPEAKER_08: But on to my point of there's one there's one bike, there's like two of the shitty bikes, yeah, like life fitness bikes, which are just horrendous.
51:47
SPEAKER_08: I mean people kind of pedal a little bit on that and do nothing.
51:49
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
51:50
SPEAKER_08: Um but then there's one proper bike that's got a decent seat and a saddle and you know, adjustments and whatever.
51:57
SPEAKER_08: Am I on am I on it for too long?
52:00
SPEAKER_08: If I go on there for an hour, is is there should there be a max limit of me being on it?
52:06
SPEAKER_05: No, some of them some of them do kind of cap at an hour.
52:10
SPEAKER_05: Or they have like a kind of like a default setting and it will start from like 59, right?
52:16
SPEAKER_05: I think sometimes it goes right, you can be cycling for an hour now.
52:19
SPEAKER_05: But I I don't think so.
52:20
SPEAKER_05: I think with CAD, it's kind of unless you're literally on there for like three hours, it's like, come on.
52:26
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
52:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it's different to strength training.
52:28
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
52:29
SPEAKER_00: Um again, depends on the situation.
52:32
SPEAKER_00: Depends if you've got a queue of people waiting behind you, and you're like, yeah, just another two hours, mate.
52:37
SPEAKER_05: But it would be like that, like dripping everywhere.
52:40
SPEAKER_08: Someone would ask about the ski hug and be like, oh, you know, how how long have you got left on that machine?
52:44
SPEAKER_08: Yeah and they're probably expecting me to say like 30 seconds.
52:47
SPEAKER_08: I'm like, oh sorry, mate, I've got an hour and a half.
52:50
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, an hour and a half on a ski hug is wild.
52:53
SPEAKER_00: It's like, are you joking?
52:54
SPEAKER_06: I promise I'm not.
52:55
SPEAKER_06: I'm actually not, sorry.
52:56
SPEAKER_06: Just look at my knee right now.
52:59
SPEAKER_00: That's valid.
53:00
SPEAKER_00: I think that's that's a hard one.
53:02
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
53:03
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
53:03
SPEAKER_08: Because I've I've been in places, I've been in gyms, especially in America, where they say like maximum 30 minutes on each cardio machine.
53:09
SPEAKER_05: Yo, really?
53:11
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
53:11
SPEAKER_05: That's wild.
53:12
SPEAKER_08: Yo, like during Hey yo, yo, what's your number?
53:18
SPEAKER_08: Like during busy periods, they say 30 minutes in each cardio machine.
53:22
SPEAKER_08: If if there are people if it's full.
53:25
SPEAKER_05: Because I know people in bodybuilding preps that they have to like do an hour and a half on the stairmaster.
53:29
SPEAKER_05: That's awful vibes, but I what about eating in the gym?
53:34
SPEAKER_08: Ah Does the gym have a vending machine?
53:38
SPEAKER_05: I'm Yeah, what food are we talking here, Guy Kennedy?
53:43
SPEAKER_05: What's in your mind?
53:44
SPEAKER_00: So so I personally think sweets are okay because they don't smell.
53:48
SPEAKER_00: But as soon as you bring in warm food and tuna sweet con sandwich.
53:53
SPEAKER_08: Usually hard-boiled eggs.
53:55
SPEAKER_08: One of my uni mates, one of the Charlotte's another one of the Charlots, she would always uh bring out we'd always take the piss out of her for it.
54:03
SPEAKER_08: We said, Ro, you cannot have a tuna sandwich on the train.
54:08
SPEAKER_08: Stop bringing tuna sandwiches on the train.
54:10
SPEAKER_08: Like that is not okay.
54:11
SPEAKER_08: She's like, But I want my tuna, and I'm like, No, no, no, that is not okay.
54:15
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I ate hardboiled eggs on prep in the train.
54:17
SPEAKER_05: That was that was mean because you open up the top one and you can smell it, which means if you're aware of it.
54:24
SPEAKER_08: I think anything that smells, you know, probably just have it.
54:28
SPEAKER_08: Just be mindful.
54:29
SPEAKER_08: I think it's a bit simple, just be mindful and common sense.
54:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just not eating in the gym.
54:34
SPEAKER_00: It's just the c last thing you want to smell is cooked food whilst you're in the gym.
54:38
SPEAKER_05: I think it's funny, isn't it?
54:39
SPEAKER_05: Because some gyms will have like a little area where they've got like a micro if you can have your little meal preps and whatnot.
54:43
SPEAKER_05: But I guess it's again it's gym to gym.
54:45
SPEAKER_05: So if you're a bodybuilder, you go to like a bodybuilding style gym.
54:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but on a gym floor, bringing that to the gym floor, that's really good.
54:50
SPEAKER_05: No, not on the gym floor, in the air, like the seated area, but sometimes you can then smell those preps.
54:54
SPEAKER_05: But I think for people who are used to that, then it's fine.
54:57
SPEAKER_05: But I think, yeah, don't don't bring your tuna sarni onto the floor, mate, because you're gonna probably spill a few tuna flakes and on the seat, and then someone's gonna go, that seat smells funny.
55:07
SPEAKER_05: Don't want to sit on that.
55:08
SPEAKER_08: They might get the wrong idea.
55:10
SPEAKER_05: Might say, Hey, someone's got tushy bum bum.
55:14
unknown: Yeah.
55:14
SPEAKER_05: Tushy bum bum.
55:15
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
55:16
SPEAKER_08: Gym I go to, it's got a whole supplement store.
55:19
SPEAKER_08: You go there and you say, I want this protein shake, I want you can literally buy meal prep.
55:25
SPEAKER_08: You know, it's all it's very it's all of these things that we go, oh yeah, you shouldn't be doing.
55:30
SPEAKER_08: They're now being like, This is actually a bit of a kind of uh an opportunity for them to sell it.
55:37
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but yeah, come on.
55:38
SPEAKER_08: Like, I mean, you know, I'll come off, I'll come off the bike and I need to fuel, I'll go and get a a you know, carb, something or other from the vending machine.
55:47
SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna eat that there, otherwise I'm gonna pass out.
55:50
SPEAKER_08: But I'm not gonna go and bring my three-course dinner, my lasagna onto the gym floor.
55:55
SPEAKER_08: I'm now how many sets you got left, mate?
55:58
SPEAKER_08: Sorry, just get food for lasagna.
56:00
SPEAKER_00: Ten sets of lasagna in the floor.
56:01
SPEAKER_00: If it smells, you're not allowed to eat it on the gym floor.
56:04
SPEAKER_08: I think just be mindful, just have a little thing, just like it's a few.
56:06
SPEAKER_00: And not messy food, not crumbs, just like, yeah, you know, a banana, go for it.
56:11
SPEAKER_00: Some sweets for some carbohydrate, go for it.
56:15
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, as soon as it starts smelling, I'm like, can you get that fucking away from me right now before I vomit?
56:21
SPEAKER_05: And that's what you say to them, isn't it?
56:22
SPEAKER_05: You go for them, you say that, can you get that fucking away from me right now before I vomit all over you?
56:27
SPEAKER_05: Before I practice my vomit maxing, my puke maxing.
56:30
SPEAKER_08: Sorry, but excuse me, mate.
56:31
SPEAKER_08: How many bites have you got left?
56:32
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
56:33
SPEAKER_08: Can I have some?
56:33
SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
56:35
SPEAKER_05: Just start sniffing.
56:41
SPEAKER_08: You're way too good at this.
56:43
SPEAKER_08: You are I refuse to believe that that's a bit.
56:47
SPEAKER_00: At what point is it okay to ask to eat finish someone's meal?
56:52
SPEAKER_06: You're done with them.
56:53
SPEAKER_06: In general.
56:54
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
56:55
SPEAKER_08: I mean, it's really quite funny to do it right at the start.
56:57
SPEAKER_06: Depends who how familiar you are with them as well.
56:59
SPEAKER_00: Look, if you don't finish that, or by the way, I get first dibs on your leftovers.
57:05
SPEAKER_05: That's a nice little Yorkshire put.
57:07
SPEAKER_05: You got that?
57:09
SPEAKER_05: Do you save me the best or last or walk up when you don't know them as well?
57:12
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
57:12
SPEAKER_00: I think it's as soon as they put their knife and fork on their plate as if they're done, you're like, right, give that here.
57:18
SPEAKER_05: Done that.
57:18
SPEAKER_05: You done that.
57:19
SPEAKER_00: Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yummy, yum, yum.
57:26
SPEAKER_08: My toes.
57:26
SPEAKER_08: My toes are not nice.
57:28
SPEAKER_05: Me and my friend Liv did that to our friend Charlie.
57:30
SPEAKER_05: We went out for pizza.
57:31
SPEAKER_05: This was end of last year.
57:33
SPEAKER_05: And uh me and Liv had both come out of a heavy darting phase, and our hunger homes were a bit messed up.
57:40
SPEAKER_05: And we had a whole pizza, still not full.
57:42
SPEAKER_00: Our friend Charlie just were palette pizza.
57:45
SPEAKER_05: No, it wasn't palette pizza, it was what's it called?
57:47
SPEAKER_05: Shuffle House.
57:48
SPEAKER_05: And Charlie Charlie was full.
57:50
SPEAKER_05: And she had quite a few slices left, and me and I could see Liv buying them up as well.
57:54
SPEAKER_05: Charlie finished with a pizza.
57:56
SPEAKER_05: Charlie, you done with your pizza?

SPEAKER_05: Just line it up the whole time.
58:04
SPEAKER_05: Insatiable appetite.
58:07
SPEAKER_05: Crazy.
58:08
SPEAKER_08: Have you ever accidentally stolen someone else's weights?
58:12
SPEAKER_08: I had a client today.
58:14
SPEAKER_08: She was uh she was talking about how she accidentally took the weights off the squat bar that someone was using, but they hadn't, you know, were just resting instead of the actual rack.
58:28
SPEAKER_08: And the person then went back, picked up the bar, and it just like tilted.
58:33
SPEAKER_08: She was like, oh no.
58:34
SPEAKER_08: That's awkward.
58:35
SPEAKER_08: That's so good.
58:36
SPEAKER_08: That's awkward.
58:37
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think I think someone's done that to me on one of the machines before, but obviously it's not like I think I I think I'm you know, and sometimes you're like, is this just the man mandala effect?
58:46
SPEAKER_05: Am I just am I just now believing this?
58:48
SPEAKER_05: But I feel like someone's talking about it.
58:49
SPEAKER_00: You mean the Mandingo effect?
58:52
SPEAKER_05: Is it Mandala or Mandela?
58:53
SPEAKER_05: It's Mandela, isn't it?
58:55
SPEAKER_00: That's a great question.
58:56
SPEAKER_00: Depends what depends what that's exactly what the effect is.
59:00
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, the Yeah, when you think you kind of make yourself believe something's happened because But it is the Mandingo effect.

SPEAKER_08: The Cinderella effect.
59:23
SPEAKER_06: Cinderella effect.
59:24
SPEAKER_05: Missing shoe.
59:25
SPEAKER_08: The one where two people have different recollections of history.
59:28
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
59:28
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
59:29
SPEAKER_08: The Mandela effect.
59:30
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's it.
59:31
SPEAKER_08: Just so your anxiety doesn't run wild.
59:35
SPEAKER_05: You know me.
59:35
SPEAKER_05: Anxious mess.
59:37
SPEAKER_05: Goes home.
59:38
SPEAKER_05: Is it the Mandela?
59:39
SPEAKER_05: Is it getting it on the hole?
59:40
SPEAKER_05: I don't know if someone doing it before.
59:41
SPEAKER_05: I feel like I saw someone taking a plate off my machine and I just went, but I just I couldn't be bothered.
59:46
SPEAKER_05: I just went and grabbed an plate.
59:47
SPEAKER_08: You know what though?
59:48
SPEAKER_08: These machines nowadays, they have because they have the rack on the machine.
59:53
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's confusing.
59:54
SPEAKER_08: Which ones I I've seen people, let's say there's a guy, it's usually a guy's training with his girlfriend, and his girlfriend can't do the weight, or she wants she wants to decrease the weight.
1:00:05
SPEAKER_08: So he's gone and acted like he's taken the plate off, but he's only taken a plate off and put it back onto the other rack on the same machine.
1:00:13
SPEAKER_08: Do you get what do you get what I mean?
1:00:14
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:00:15
SPEAKER_08: So he's he's he's not taking it off the thing that is actually moving the weight, and so no weights change, she goes for another set and she's easily pumping out the reps, and it's just a psychological thing.
1:00:25
SPEAKER_08: But it is like you have to be careful like which one on of the three things on the machine is actually then the working pin.
1:00:32
SPEAKER_08: The working pin.
1:00:34
SPEAKER_00: Should men wear lycra to the gym?
1:00:37
SPEAKER_08: Like again, I do all of the I did this yesterday.
1:00:41
SPEAKER_05: Should men wear tight leggings?
1:00:43
SPEAKER_00: You did this less yesterday.
1:00:44
SPEAKER_00: You wore leggings to the gym.
1:00:45
SPEAKER_08: No, it's in like cycling shorts.
1:00:48
SPEAKER_08: Long t-shirt.
1:00:50
SPEAKER_00: Nice.
1:00:51
SPEAKER_08: So I'm gonna defend this.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_08: Long t-shirt.
1:00:53
SPEAKER_06: Should you tuck?
1:00:54
SPEAKER_08: What do you mean, long t-shirt?
1:00:55
SPEAKER_08: What are you on about?
1:00:58
SPEAKER_08: Let it hang free.
1:00:59
SPEAKER_05: I saw a video of a guy the other day in light leggings posing.
1:01:04
SPEAKER_05: And that man, and I sent this to my friend, that man did not have pants on.
1:01:09
SPEAKER_00: No, but even pants are gonna do anything.
1:01:12
SPEAKER_00: Pants aren't gonna do anything.
1:01:13
SPEAKER_00: Pants are thin.
1:01:16
SPEAKER_05: I wasn't looking.
1:01:17
SPEAKER_05: It was looking.
1:01:18
SPEAKER_05: You were looking, were you?
1:01:19
SPEAKER_05: It was looking at me.
1:01:21
SPEAKER_00: Well, Charlotte, you were clearly looking and you sent it to your friend, so there's something something must be.
1:01:27
SPEAKER_08: You took a photo of a man.
1:01:29
SPEAKER_05: I zoomed in and no.
1:01:32
SPEAKER_05: It was oh no, I'm sorry, and I just thought didn't need to see that.
1:01:35
SPEAKER_05: That's really poor form.
1:01:36
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
1:01:36
SPEAKER_05: You turned around and I went, ah, didn't need to see that today.
1:01:40
SPEAKER_00: It's a bit it's the same when you know it camel toes are something.
1:01:43
SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, camel toes are yeah.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_00: You probably see more camel toe than you see frog's eyes in the gym.
1:01:50
SPEAKER_01: Frog's eyes, no, that's an awful turn.
1:01:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but that's what it is.
1:01:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:01:56
SPEAKER_00: You probably see more of that.
1:01:59
SPEAKER_00: But I I I yeah, I guess blokes probably not yeah, I think it's more offensive a frog's eye than a camel toe, for sure.
1:02:07
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, because sometimes girls just have a bit of a wedge, wedgy.
1:02:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:02:11
SPEAKER_00: What do you what do you think about uh the the kind of rise of men wearing female's clothes to the gym?
1:02:16
SPEAKER_05: Slay queen.
1:02:17
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, do what you want to do.
1:02:19
SPEAKER_03: What does that mean?
1:02:20
SPEAKER_00: So that sort of female's clothes.
1:02:22
SPEAKER_00: They'll wear like a bra and they'll wear leggings.
1:02:24
SPEAKER_08: Sleigh, get it.
1:02:25
SPEAKER_08: There's that guy on Instagram who's super strong, but he's also very effeminate.
1:02:31
SPEAKER_08: And he's like, I think he literally wears like Is he called the world's strongest gay?
1:02:36
SPEAKER_00: I think he he does that as World's Strongest Man, that's his his his handle on Instagram.
1:02:40
SPEAKER_08: He cleans and he's yeah, yeah, clean and pressing.
1:02:43
SPEAKER_08: And he's wearing a score or something.
1:02:44
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, what a king.
1:02:46
SPEAKER_08: And it's and actually the comments you'd probably expect the comments straight away to be like ripping into it.
1:02:50
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:02:51
SPEAKER_08: But it's he's got a good community, which is actually very refreshing.
1:02:54
SPEAKER_05: Love that, yeah.
1:02:55
SPEAKER_05: I I'm I'm all for that.
1:02:56
SPEAKER_05: Look, if whatever makes you comfortable, as long as your your bollocks not popping out or something, then it's fine.
1:03:01
SPEAKER_05: And vice versa.
1:03:02
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, as long as your nickels not coming out, as long as your you know, bits and books aren't coming out.
1:03:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think the frog's eye is just that that that's probably where you've got to draw the line.
1:03:12
SPEAKER_00: Because if if people can really see, you know, your piece in the gym, that you don't you don't want to see that.
1:03:18
SPEAKER_08: I mean, we all pay the same fees, but I'm not I'm not paying my membership for that.
1:03:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you don't want to see that.
1:03:24
SPEAKER_00: You don't want to see that, but you know.
1:03:25
SPEAKER_00: But I guess what about a crop top on you know, a particularly large hairy man who sweats a lot.
1:03:31
SPEAKER_00: What do you know is that too much?
1:03:34
SPEAKER_08: Just wear the odorant, right?
1:03:36
SPEAKER_00: Uh is it well, you know.
1:03:39
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
1:03:40
SPEAKER_05: I'd I I'd I I've never seen a large hairy man wearing a hair.
1:03:44
SPEAKER_08: Do you want to say that you don't want to see it?
1:03:46
SPEAKER_05: No, I've I've never seen a large man wearing a hairy topped man wearing a hairy top.
1:03:53
SPEAKER_00: I think it would be quite an image, wouldn't it?
1:03:55
SPEAKER_05: I think so.
1:03:56
SPEAKER_00: I probably want to take a photo with him and be like, You're a legend.
1:03:59
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
1:03:59
SPEAKER_00: Especially if it was like flannel cropped.
1:04:02
SPEAKER_00: That would be epic.
1:04:04
SPEAKER_00: Like a flannel cropped vest.
1:04:07
SPEAKER_05: That's your dream that you're telling us about last night, right?
1:04:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:04:11
SPEAKER_00: You know, that that'd be pretty cool.
1:04:13
SPEAKER_08: But um Is that is that why you had that in your mind?
1:04:16
SPEAKER_08: And then you went to the barber and started saying, Can I have a crop, please?
1:04:19
SPEAKER_00: No, I was I was so close to being like, Can you give me a mullet, please?
1:04:23
SPEAKER_00: But I wussed out and then instead it just cut all my hair off.
1:04:28
SPEAKER_05: Ah you should just ask for a skin tape around the sides, let that grow out a little bit but keep it short.
1:04:34
SPEAKER_00: What we'll do is we'll I'm gonna dry uh grow sidebands.
1:04:38
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, wolverine styling.
1:04:40
SPEAKER_00: And then big mullet, but then I'll just actually shave this part of my head.
1:04:45
SPEAKER_05: I think you should do it reverse three spikes going down like a fork.
1:04:50
SPEAKER_08: That would be good.
1:04:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:04:53
SPEAKER_08: You should go for every hairstyle that you can before you buzz it off.
1:04:56
SPEAKER_08: Take loads of photos.
1:04:57
SPEAKER_00: Why why why are we keep insisting about me buzzing my hair off?
1:04:59
SPEAKER_08: Because you feel like I feel like that's what you whatever makes you feel comfortable.
1:05:03
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:05:04
SPEAKER_00: Huh?
1:05:04
SPEAKER_05: I think you look lovely with your little fringe.
1:05:07
SPEAKER_08: Buzz it off.
1:05:08
SPEAKER_00: Buzz it and buzz it off.
1:05:10
SPEAKER_00: I'll do it if you do it.
1:05:11
SPEAKER_08: I've always been very tight.
1:05:14
SPEAKER_00: I've done it multiple times.
1:05:16
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I quite like it.
1:05:17
SPEAKER_03: You've got very thick hair.
1:05:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:05:19
SPEAKER_03: And I wonder what your head shape looks like without that.
1:05:22
SPEAKER_03: Ow, we should get bald caps.
1:05:24
SPEAKER_08: We could get bald caps.
1:05:25
SPEAKER_03: Could be fun.
1:05:26
SPEAKER_08: Um again.
1:05:26
SPEAKER_08: Okay, so to back, right, so fashion in the gym, in terms of what you're wearing.
1:05:32
SPEAKER_08: I don't know, I maintain wear anything you want as long as it's suitable.
1:05:37
SPEAKER_08: I mean, I'm I'm more about suitable for the exercise.
1:05:40
SPEAKER_08: I'm like, I would wear I wouldn't wear something that was like uncomfortable for the sake of it, nor would I make it a fashion contest for the sake of like I'm all I'm all about performance.
1:05:51
SPEAKER_05: Don't wear brogues and chinos, mate.
1:05:53
SPEAKER_08: However, I when I wear my so I I wear light crib shorts, like the the padded ones, because otherwise it's way too uncomfortable.
1:06:00
SPEAKER_08: For the first part of the gym session, I wear my normal shorts, and then when I go onto the bike, I'll go get changed and just wear the lycra.
1:06:07
SPEAKER_08: So I wouldn't wear them all out throughout the session.
1:06:09
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:06:10
SPEAKER_08: But I mean I guess that's a minor thing.
1:06:12
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's and also you're cycling, you don't want a saddle sore.
1:06:14
SPEAKER_05: You've got the the pads there for a reason.
1:06:16
SPEAKER_05: Like you can you're they're practic you're wearing them suited to the exercise.
1:06:19
SPEAKER_05: Much like people wearing hocker cliftons to do a heavy barbell deadlift.
1:06:24
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, well you don't don't be wearing your big spongy trainers to do deadlift because it's also it's gonna bug in your form.
1:06:31
SPEAKER_05: Like I I had this conversation quite a lot with our members, and I mean they know I'm quite particular about it, but you know, you're never never gonna slate someone for wearing their nice running shoes.
1:06:40
SPEAKER_05: But I also say, like, you know, maybe take your trainers off of this because you want to have a flatter foot, you want to be able to kind of feel the floor better.
1:06:47
SPEAKER_05: Because when you've got your wobbly wobblies on and your ankles rolling around.
1:06:50
SPEAKER_00: It's not easy to squat or deadlift or any any real exercise where it involves standing.
1:06:55
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
1:06:56
SPEAKER_00: It's uh yeah, fat flats, flatties, boys.
1:07:00
SPEAKER_00: Vans, converse, any flat soled shoes, or you got your metcons.
1:07:05
SPEAKER_05: You don't have to invest in met cons as well.
1:07:07
SPEAKER_05: Like these are great because You got them off vintage.
1:07:10
SPEAKER_05: 30 quid vintage, right?
1:07:12
SPEAKER_00: All once.
1:07:13
SPEAKER_00: That's not bad, but you know, these any any sort of flat, flat soled shoe which doesn't have too much thickness on the bottom, does does the job.
1:07:20
SPEAKER_05: I think everyone in their nan has at least one pair of convertible vans or s or standsmiths.
1:07:25
SPEAKER_00: Or just something flat.
1:07:26
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:07:27
SPEAKER_08: What if you've gone to the gym and you just have one pair of shoes and you've gone on the treadmill and done a little run?
1:07:34
SPEAKER_08: Are you okay to then just go on socks, lifting socks?
1:07:37
SPEAKER_08: What's your gyms are funny about it.
1:07:40
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
1:07:40
SPEAKER_00: I've taken my shoes off in gyms before and they're like, put your shoes on.
1:07:45
SPEAKER_00: I never really understood why, because my socks are probably cleaner than my shoes, which I've been walking.
1:07:51
SPEAKER_05: It's like a health and safety risk, right?
1:07:52
SPEAKER_05: Like it's it's a really silly backwards logic because regardless of if you've got a sh a trainer on or if you've got your socks on, if a plate is falling on your toe and it's a heavy plate, you're gonna break it regardless.
1:08:03
SPEAKER_05: But it covers them, I think.
1:08:05
SPEAKER_05: Umly thing I really can't, don't be barefoot.
1:08:09
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, don't be barefoot.
1:08:10
SPEAKER_05: Equipment.
1:08:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:08:12
SPEAKER_00: Barefoot's weird in a public space.
1:08:15
SPEAKER_05: A little bit too far.
1:08:16
SPEAKER_00: I barefoot it out here though, sometimes.
1:08:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, out on that.
1:08:21
SPEAKER_08: Training is your house.
1:08:22
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:08:23
SPEAKER_08: You know, I mean I'm in the countryside.
1:08:25
SPEAKER_08: But you could train naked if you wanted to.
1:08:27
SPEAKER_05: Because like, what if someone's got like warts or verrucas or fungal toe?
1:08:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's freaky.
1:08:34
SPEAKER_05: Barefoot.
1:08:35
SPEAKER_05: Nobody doing that.
1:08:36
SPEAKER_08: Also, Charlotte, you're gonna be in the corner with your phone trying to zoom in and take a photo of their foot.
1:08:41
SPEAKER_05: Selling on OnlyFans.
1:08:42
SPEAKER_00: I knew a kid called Harry, and he always used to have Verukkas when we went swimming.
1:08:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:08:47
SPEAKER_00: And he used to piss me off because I was terrified of getting a veruka.
1:08:52
unknown: Yeah.
1:08:52
SPEAKER_05: Varuka sock.
1:08:53
SPEAKER_05: Look, if I had the sock on, he didn't.
1:08:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like a special sock on.
1:09:00
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, why are you getting in the pool with us?
1:09:02
SPEAKER_05: Get your sock out.
1:09:02
SPEAKER_05: Well, actually, if he had the veruca sock on, he wouldn't be spreading it.
1:09:05
SPEAKER_05: It's the people that don't wear them when I was a little kid.
1:09:08
SPEAKER_05: Look, if you wear a veruca sock, you stand out and you're a loser.
1:09:11
SPEAKER_05: You've got to just pass them around.
1:09:13
SPEAKER_05: When you're a child.
1:09:14
SPEAKER_00: That's a horrible thing.
1:09:16
SPEAKER_05: If you've got a veruca as an adult, grow up.
1:09:19
SPEAKER_05: Literally grow up.
1:09:21
SPEAKER_05: No one, no adult should have verrugas on their feet yet.
1:09:24
SPEAKER_08: I think we know what a veruca is.
1:09:25
SPEAKER_05: Verukkas, like it's kind of like a wart, isn't it?
1:09:27
SPEAKER_05: But they're not, they don't, they don't bulge.
1:09:29
SPEAKER_05: Verukkas are kind of flat and they just look a bit ugly.
1:09:32
SPEAKER_08: And it's named after the girl from Charlie and Chocolate Factory.
1:09:34
SPEAKER_05: Verucca salt.
1:09:37
SPEAKER_08: Is it?
1:09:38
SPEAKER_08: No, it's not.
1:09:39
SPEAKER_07: She's tone.
1:09:42
SPEAKER_04: Is it?
1:09:43
SPEAKER_04: Bazooka that varuka, bazooka that wart.
1:09:47
SPEAKER_04: Sponsored by shoe.
1:09:50
SPEAKER_08: So no running trainer.
1:09:52
SPEAKER_08: Don't lift in running trainers, too spongy.
1:09:55
SPEAKER_08: But if gym allows, can have shoes off, but socks need to be on.
1:09:59
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:09:59
SPEAKER_08: If you've got varukkas, don't go to the gym at all.
1:10:03
SPEAKER_08: Or depends if only if your name is Varuka.
1:10:05
SPEAKER_05: I think another thing with shoes off.
1:10:09
SPEAKER_05: Shoes off to where you're working.
1:10:11
SPEAKER_05: No, shoes on to where you're working, shoes off where you're working, but also people claim if there's glass on the floor.
1:10:16
SPEAKER_05: So that's another reason gyms won't let because if there's glass or anything spiky, sometimes there might be needles.
1:10:22
SPEAKER_08: Also, some lifting platforms are a little bit like kind of varnished and you know and and slippery.
1:10:27
SPEAKER_05: So yeah.
1:10:29
SPEAKER_08: But yeah, flat shoes when lifting.
1:10:31
SPEAKER_08: What about uh people that use the pad on the barbell to squat?
1:10:39
SPEAKER_05: I'm try I get triggered by this.
1:10:42
SPEAKER_00: You really hate it, don't you?
1:10:43
SPEAKER_05: I really hate it.
1:10:44
SPEAKER_08: But I but my back hurts.
1:10:47
SPEAKER_05: Suck it up and put the bar in the right place.
1:10:50
SPEAKER_08: But I but it would be easy, but I don't want my back to hurt.
1:10:53
SPEAKER_05: Well, suck it up and put it in the right place, and if you put the bar in the right place, your back won't hurt.
1:10:56
SPEAKER_05: You're resting it too high on your neck.
1:10:58
SPEAKER_05: And if you put the pad on the barbell, you then set the barbell in the wrong position and you squat awkwardly.
1:11:04
SPEAKER_05: That is why I don't let any of my clients, and you know, I'm I'm you know, I'm the bad person, but I don't want my clients hurting themselves when they're squatting.
1:11:14
SPEAKER_00: So I completely agree.
1:11:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's so easy to roll in that pad as well, and it's also a more vulnerable position for your shoulder to get into.
1:11:23
SPEAKER_00: It's really far back.
1:11:24
SPEAKER_08: I mean, it's the equivalent of wearing running shoes, is there's so much different distance between the bar and your back.
1:11:29
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:11:30
SPEAKER_08: You don't get a stable.
1:11:32
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
1:11:32
SPEAKER_05: If you do have bad shoulder mobility and you can't reach your arm back, and that's a reason like or even that's not a very good reason for using barbell pad, but that's one of the reasons you use a safety bar, and that's what I was gonna come on to.
1:11:45
SPEAKER_05: If you but if your back hurts that much and you really struggle, safety bars are great because they have a pad, but you also can like lift them up so they position themselves better and lower down your back where they should be sitting.
1:11:58
SPEAKER_05: Whereas if you're using a regular barbell and you use a barbell pad, it's just it's high up, your arms are weird, you're squatting like golem, and it's not a good time.
1:12:10
SPEAKER_05: And that's all I have to say on that.
1:12:11
SPEAKER_05: Thank you for talking.
1:12:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I guess I don't really like it either.
1:12:18
SPEAKER_00: I'm with Charlotte on that.
1:12:19
SPEAKER_05: I feel like I'm not letting you guys talk today.
1:12:21
SPEAKER_05: I feel like I'm being the really chatty one.
1:12:23
SPEAKER_05: Sometimes I sit quite quietly in the corner.
1:12:25
SPEAKER_00: Charlotte, I think I think we prefer it when she does, don't you, Charlie?
1:12:28
SPEAKER_08: I don't know, it's quite nice.
1:12:32
SPEAKER_08: I think you've gone from about you know six words an episode, maybe up to about ten.
1:12:36
SPEAKER_08: It's good.
1:12:37
SPEAKER_08: I don't think you've been talking that much.
1:12:38
SPEAKER_08: It's okay, Charlie.
1:12:39
SPEAKER_08: Okay, cool.
1:12:40
SPEAKER_08: That's alright.
1:12:40
SPEAKER_08: No, you've just been adding value.
1:12:43
unknown: Thank you.
1:12:43
SPEAKER_05: Back to self-awareness in the gym.
1:12:46
SPEAKER_08: Literally, your rule is be mindful, act like a human.
1:12:54
SPEAKER_08: Some things aren't that deep.
1:12:56
SPEAKER_08: Care about other people.
1:12:58
SPEAKER_04: And bazooka that varuka.
1:13:00
SPEAKER_08: Bazooka that varuka.
1:13:02
SPEAKER_00: You don't have verucas on your in the gym.
1:13:04
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:13:05
SPEAKER_08: Don't have your tackle.
1:13:06
SPEAKER_00: Well, I think do you have anything else to add, Charlie?
1:13:09
SPEAKER_00: Any other pet peeves?
1:13:11
SPEAKER_08: I don't have I don't think I have any peeves really in life that much.
1:13:16
SPEAKER_08: I'm probably the worst for it.
1:13:18
SPEAKER_08: I just I don't let people do what they want to do.
1:13:21
SPEAKER_05: Find more observations.
1:13:23
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I think Charlotte's got quite a few today.
1:13:27
SPEAKER_05: Quite a few peeves, haven't I?
1:13:28
SPEAKER_05: I I like to call them observation.
1:13:30
SPEAKER_05: I feel like I'm a bit of a douche saying it's a peeve.
1:13:32
SPEAKER_05: It is a peeve.
1:13:33
SPEAKER_00: What is a peeve?
1:13:34
SPEAKER_00: What's another one?
1:13:34
SPEAKER_05: I get quite irritable.
1:13:36
SPEAKER_00: But but about what?
1:13:37
SPEAKER_05: No, no, those are just the things I listed.
1:13:39
SPEAKER_00: Oh right, so I guess that's courtesy.
1:13:42
SPEAKER_00: Have you got it all out your hair today, do you think?
1:13:45
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:13:46
SPEAKER_08: One more thing.
1:13:47
SPEAKER_00: Is there any Verrukas in there?
1:13:49
SPEAKER_08: For anyone that's for anyone that's kind of new new to the gym.
1:13:52
SPEAKER_08: Um what about wiping down the machines?
1:13:57
SPEAKER_08: Yes.
1:13:57
SPEAKER_08: Do we need to wipe down the machines anymore?
1:14:00
SPEAKER_08: Or was that a COVID thing?
1:14:01
SPEAKER_08: Or was that a thing that came back in COVID, which actually should have been happening anyway?
1:14:04
SPEAKER_08: Charlotte Nudson, you have your hand up.
1:14:06
SPEAKER_05: You should always wipe the machine because guess what?
1:14:08
SPEAKER_05: Ringworm is a real thing, and I have caught it from my gym before.
1:14:13
SPEAKER_05: On my leg.
1:14:14
SPEAKER_00: She caught Verrukas from her gym as well.
1:14:16
SPEAKER_05: You don't know.
1:14:17
SPEAKER_05: No, I haven't, because I don't get a barefoot.
1:14:19
SPEAKER_05: Ringworm is a fungal skin infection and it causes a little circle rash on your leg.
1:14:24
SPEAKER_05: And I like to do it training shorts sometimes.
1:14:26
SPEAKER_05: And I got ringworm from my gym.
1:14:29
SPEAKER_05: I know other people who have had it as well.
1:14:31
SPEAKER_00: Did you know who the main ring ram culprit was?
1:14:34
SPEAKER_05: I have no clue who the ring ramer is, but I'm ringworm ringleader.
1:14:37
SPEAKER_05: People, you just that's why I I actually carry a little bottle now with me of spray.
1:14:41
SPEAKER_05: So whenever there's something where my skin is touching the gym equipment, I'm I'm maybe spraying it.
1:14:47
SPEAKER_05: Because people do spread skin infections and it's yucky.
1:14:51
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:14:51
SPEAKER_08: Well, stop licking the equipment then.
1:14:53
SPEAKER_05: I don't, my legs lick it.
1:14:56
unknown: Yeah.
1:14:56
SPEAKER_05: And then they get ringworm, and it's horrible, and you get little circles on your leg.
1:15:00
SPEAKER_05: And I take it.
1:15:01
SPEAKER_00: Do you do you do you like sanitize a lot of stuff?
1:15:05
SPEAKER_05: Just the gym.
1:15:07
SPEAKER_05: Stop.
1:15:07
SPEAKER_05: Just the gym equipment.
1:15:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:15:08
SPEAKER_08: Do you wipe things down on the tube?
1:15:09
SPEAKER_08: I have a shower sometimes.
1:15:10
SPEAKER_08: What about on the tube in London?
1:15:12
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
1:15:12
SPEAKER_05: If I'm going no, you know what it is?
1:15:15
SPEAKER_05: If I'm going to London, I always have a hand gel with me.
1:15:17
SPEAKER_05: And if I'm going on a plane, I always have a hand gel with me.
1:15:19
SPEAKER_08: Just in case anyone throws up in the aisle and uh dribbles on your foot.
1:15:22
SPEAKER_05: But you have to sanitize sanit sanimax it.
1:15:25
SPEAKER_05: Sanimax it.
1:15:26
SPEAKER_00: Well that no.
1:15:27
SPEAKER_00: I think I think we've covered most gym etiquette.
1:15:30
SPEAKER_08: I think this is our longest podcast we've ever recorded.
1:15:33
SPEAKER_08: Three hours and forty minutes.
1:15:35
SPEAKER_08: This is how much you realise is going to be cut out.
