The YMCA Duo

so i've been observing this father and son duo at the YMCA for at least a couple years now (off and on)....and i love it. i would say their body types are naturally scrawny- but let me tell you they have worked their biscuits off!! the dad has made obvious progress and, consequently, has recently been rewarding himself with a "cooler" look by purchasing some sweet adidas shoes and sporting some nice fruit of the loom sleeveless T's to expose his newly chiseled triceps. the son, on the other hand, (maybe about 17 years old) still seems to be struggling to achieve any noticeable results. tonight they were bench pressing. the father stood over his son with his arms crossed and his shiny bright red adidas shoes casting a reddish glow over the room... with his son in blatant agony, flailing his ratty lawn-stained new balance shoes frantically in the air as he struggled to inch the bar over his head....... i couldn't handle it.

  2. Just came across your blog while posting on my own. I personal train part time and my husband and I used to work in a gym together. Let me say that I would see this type of stuff all this time. Classic! It's always interesting to watch how someone's workout wardrobe changes as their fitness level changes. Thanks for posting!
