re two trainers doing rack work that may not have necessarily

They're occupying a piece of

But certainly may, yes?

be for a purpose that could just
as easilly be fulfilled standing
NEXT TO the squat rack.

True enough, however that fact does not negate their right - by
payment of membership dues - to make use of equipment in the gym as
they see fit and which the gym apparently allows. Right? Well?

re Freides busying himself NOT taking his child to the movies

<snip> teaching his kids not to talk
during movies.

I must've missed that part of Freides reasoning behind not taking his
child to see 300.

Thought Freides stated he hadn't seen a movie since the dark ages. If
so, what are you talking about with the "teaching his kids not to talk
during movies" schtufff?

-=snip the pet peeve=-

*huff* *pant* *huff* *pant*

Agreed on the annoying moviegoers, however - much like the gym - I
take it as the way things often are. People pay their ticket (or gym
premium) and see the show. I'll trust that any malefactors will be
weeded out by the theater (or gym) employees. I reserve the right to
make a comment if things truly get out of hand or the fellow patron is
absolutely obnoxious, but that's the rare event.

And, hey, if Schuh's not working with more than 315, why doesn't he
just clean the weight and do his squats? ;o)
