Gym Rats
Quote of the Day: Pump anymore and you'll explode.
Ok, let me be clear from the start; i'm not talking about those that go to the gym once or twice a week and spend less than 1/5 of their day in there each time.
I am talking about those people who have pumped so much iron that their biceps are friggin bigger than their thighs! You know, the kind that looks like a brick wall balanced on toothpicks? Credit to my friend CL for calling them hens! Puffed body with chicken legs. I just saw one of them today. Scary! He was trying to hail a cab and every time he stuck his arm out, i thought he would topple over!
Some of these people should be put to work at construction sites. Imagine how much work would get done as they carried load after load of bricks back and forth.
As for the true purpose of having such monstrous arms, what's the point? In case they get trapped after an earthquake and need to move 10 tons of steel girders out of the way? Maybe they should just do handstands and walk around on their hands; giving their poor undersized legs a break!
Part of it, i reckon is the poseur value. Not all of them, but at least some of them do it for that. Which brings me to my next point. Singaporeans will know where Orchard Cineplex is. Next to that is a California Gym. Complete with big glass windows and heaps of treadmills facing out. Now, why on earth do people want to use the treadmills there?! Everytime i walk by, all i can think of are hamsters on their wheels! Hamsters have no choice but to use those wheels but humans have a choice. Yet they appear equally happy to be viewed running endlessly and getting nowhere. Actually, the hamsters might have better sense and not like the idea, but we'll never know, will we?
If looking like a caged animal running for dear life and getting nowhere floats your boat, then so be it. Just be sure to keep it up so i can get a good laugh :)
