I registered for the Armadillo Dash.

Went back to the gym today. Forgot how crowded it is in January.

Basic gym etiquette:

1. Rack your weights
2. Rack your weights in the correct location
3. Don't hog the weights. Keep them racked until you are actually using them. You can do the quick weight switch at home but not at the gym. Other people want to use the weights.
4. Watch where you are standing when socializing. It ruins my form when I have to avoid shoving a 12.5 pound dumbbell up your ass.
5. Don't lift weights in groups larger than 3. Nobody thinks you're gay if it is just two of you lifting weights. I appreciate the offer to work in but do you really want to remove 500 pounds of weight just to accommodate me?
6. If you are gone for more than 5 minutes don't be surprised to find some plates removed and someone else using the equipment.
7. Don't position your body in such a way that it blocks both water fountains. Scoot your ass over.
8. Wipe. This advice works outside the gym as well.
9. Loud grunting and screaming. This is a co-ed gym. Some of the female members have given birth. None of them screamed and grunted as loudly.
10. One works up quite a sweat but nobody should not smell you before they see you and it should not linger more than 2 minutes after you have left.
11. Rack your weights.
