Holy moly, guys. This is a prime example of why gymnastics rings are the best piece of equipment on the market. The best piece of equipment money can buy.
I'm trying to put you on, but you guys don't want to listen. So, hopefully you listen watching this video. I went to this crunch and I I went straight after work because I was trying to find a gym that's close to my job, right?
And this was a crunch that I found. So, I got there. It was about 5:30 p.
m. The worst time to go in the gym, bro. 5 to6.
Do not do it, bro. I would even say 5 to 7. Do not do it.
It was literally a zoo up in that [ __ ] row. Like literally not one machine available. And that gym was huge.
But as you can see, what I did is as soon as I saw a pull-up bar, I hung my rings. I claimed my spot and I marked my territory because that's what we do. We come, we claim, we conquer.
That's what we do, bro. And there's nothing that anybody can do about it. You know what I'm saying?
What can they do? I mean, as soon as I move, they could kind they could, you know, squeeze in there. But I got my ring set up.
I'm doing my thing. I'm practicing some muscleups here. Uh, it is a pool day session.
And look at me here. Hello. Hello, Peekaboo.
Peekaboo. And look at everyone. Look at the entire gym, bro.
Packed as hell. just looking at me like, "Oh, this guy thinks he's the shit. " Hanging his rings up there.
You know, they want to squeeze in there and get a little action on my pull on the pull-up bar that I'm on. My pull-up bar. But sorry, no can do.
No, Siri Bob. No, ma'am. This is my area to work out.
What you going to do? Move my rings? You You going to move me?
No. Okay. So, this is what I love about the rings, bro.
you just hang them up and claim my spot. But anyways, I'm doing some pull-up action. Um, and we're going to get this pool workout done, bro.
Regardless of the circumstances, as you take a look around, there is not one machine, dude. I I what really messes Crunch up is, yes, it gets packed. Um, but a big reason, a big factor is because they host their classes, like their group classes at the peak hours of when people go, bro.
So, that entire room you see back there is full of is full of people doing the group class. So, they completely shut off another set of pull-up bars and other heavy bags in there. You know what I'm saying?
So, it's not smart. And they do that with every crunch that I've been to. They always add a group class in the peak hours, which is just not smart.
You should schedule that class when there's not a lot of people, right? So that way you have more space. But whatever, that's their decision.
But um it was incredible how there was zero machines, bro. I was bamboozled when I walked in here. So with the pull-ups, I'm trying to work on that wide grip uh pull-up.
Here I am working my way up to I believe a five rep max. I'm trying to work in the lower range here. Um so I'm slowly adding weight up.
That was a warm-up set. Now I'm getting into my working sets. As you can see, everyone's crowding around me.
Um you know, they keep creeping closer and closer to my area, but I'm not having it. I'm lifting some weight. I'm doing my thing.
I'm still recording for you guys. You know what I mean? I was hanging my phone up on, you know, other machines and stuff.
So, I'm getting my workout in, guys. This is why I love the ring so much. This is one of the benefits, you know, and and who else is doing this?
How many gyms have you gone to that do what I'm doing here? or no how many people in the gym gyms you've gone to have done what I'm doing here? Nobody.
Nobody. All right. And they could hate.
They could tell me something if they want. I'm there to work out just like you, bro. You know what I mean?
And I You're going to save so much time. If I didn't do this, guess what would happen? As soon as I finish my set under that pull-up bar, I'm gonna they're gonna, you know, tell me to move or get a turn or something.
You know what I mean? Look at this. It's ridiculous.
There's a dude literally deadlifting. Oh, look at this guy. As soon as I hung up my camera, bro, as soon as I took a breath of for sure, he did not give a [ __ ] that my rings were there.
He hung up, started twisting, doing his little warm-up. His armpits are on my rings, and I'm just there waiting. I said, "You know what?
Like, normally I'd be like, "Yo, bro, you know, if they use my rings or something, I won't be a dick about it cuz it's, you know, it's not my gym. " But this guy didn't even say nothing, bro. And to be fair, maybe he didn't know, but I doubt that he didn't know cuz I've been there the whole time, bro.
And he just I'm just there waiting. He kind of looks at me and walks away. And I'm like, "Okay, bro.
Thank you. Bye. You know what I'm saying?
But I'm telling you, this this is this goes to show you just how packed that gym was that as soon as I took some seconds to hang up my phone, some dude jumped in there and h and used the pull a bar. I'm telling y'all, bro, it was it was every man for himself in that gym. And I hated that feeling, you know.
So, now I'm doing my inverted rows. I'm hanging my feet up. I'm getting my horizontal.
So, first I did my vertical pooling movement, then I do my horizontal pooling movement, right? And as the man behind me is just watching me in awe like, "Wow, this is the smartest man I've ever seen. He's just he's getting a good workout in, using his body weight, claiming his territory.
Damn, I need to get me some gymnastic strings. It it was I've never This is like one of the first gyms I've been to, guys. And look, there's literally a guy next to me.
What is he deadlifting? Like, what is going on? I'm telling you, what is going on at these gyms, bro?
Is this how you pe is this how you people do your workouts? Is this how the average person does their workouts? I'm not used to this, guys.
I'm a calisthenics guy. I'm used to doing exercises at home, you know, or I go outside at at a park. This is new to me, bro.
Going to gyms. This is like one of the first gym memberships I've ever gotten in a very long time, years. So, this was an eye openener for me.
After this day, I did not go back and I will probably never go back at this hour for sure. You know guys, hope you enjoyed the video. That was my rant.
Get some damn gymnastics strings. Hope you guys learned something from this. Lock the hell in.
