My gym has several bench press stations as well as incline and decline. So I guess hogging one while hitting two or three other spots isn't too bad as long as others are open. And proper ettiquite would require that you allow others to "work-in" with you on the machines that you aren't using at the time, even though you're still "on" them. Good point.

His name was Tony. He was huge. He told us that he had just started back with the army and had been lifting in his basement for the last 5 years. He said he had a new outlook on life and that he had an 'attitude of gratitude', which is a saying that I repeat whenever possible. He also drove a piece of shit car with a bumper sticker that said: Don't let the car fool you, my real treasure is heaven! There was an awesome guy at the crane gym when I used to lift after work.

Although I do try to have good form. Hmmm - I guess I should rethink my gym habits - like my towel on home-base technique. Although I do try to have good form.
