Set up: Back in the electrical machines age, there was this back-bending-lifting-machine (sit, have roll put on your back in general area of your shoulders, sit up against the resistance), and this thing tended to kick me out of the chair when going down if I set it to anything that was half a challenge. So the trainer set it to "way too light" and wrote 20 reps into the training plan.
On to the silliness: First time I did this, around the third rep a tricky programming problem drifted into my mind and I started working on it. About five minutes later I had solved it and noticed a person standing close to me with a very unhappy/impatient "are you done yet?" expression on her face. I haven't the foggiest how many reps I did, but I never returned to that machine.
***
Other: Picking up the short (7.5 kg) bar when I want the olympic bar. Wondering why it would not fit on the rack. Picking up the olympic bar when I want the short bar. Wondering why I cannot do the exercise.
Hey, these bars look just too similar. What about colour-coding them?
