So it's 6:00 AM. Just did my warm-ups and getting ready to start my lifts. I see this guy there, bout my age, smaller, but in good shape, looks like he's been lifting most of his life. He seems to be there most morning's about the same time as me.
I watch him doing one arm rows, i see him struggling with the straps, sinching them up nice and tight. I finish with my one exercise and my next lift i'm pretty much beside him, by this time he's doing DB shrug's. We've never spoken, just the usuall groggy 6:00 AM nod of the head. By now I'm thinking to myself, HOOKGRIP!!
He'll think i'm a ****ing genious, a guru, maybe even the myth!!.. He straps himself in, stands up and I say to him "want to see something where you'll never have to use a strap again?" He says "hang on a minute".. 10 reps later he bends down, slips his hand's off the DB's, stands up holding his hand up so that i can see that every finger on his hand has been cut off to the last knuckle!!
Genious, guru, myth?? I'm a ****ing idiot!!!
True story!
