Check Out My Guns

Dedicated to: All the Guys and Gals Who Know They Do It

When you go to a gym, do you ever wonder why there are so many mirrors, especially in the weightlifting area? I mean, not all gyms were once dance studies, right? Well, many of you may already believe that these mirrors are for "watching your form" when you use free weights (basic dumbbells and such). You know, to make sure you are doing it "right." Which there is nothing wrong in, but then again, you may wonder, why are there still mirrors around the weight lifting machines that can only perform a single movement? I mean, the directions are printed right on the machine, and it's nearly impossible to hurt yourself, unless of course, you are one of those people that just happen to occasionally crush your fingers in between the adjustable weights.

So, what are the mirrors really for? You guys probably guessed it already, but the mirrors are for pure narcissistic intentions. I was only prompted to write this, because I saw it happening a few mornings ago while I was working out, and I couldn't help but laugh a little in the inside. What makes me laugh is that after every few reps (repetitions) on a machine, the guy would pause, flex a little, and steal a glance at the mirror.

Oh yes, I saw you, don't think I didn't see that...

What't the moral of the story? Well, whether you are a guy or girl, just remember, the next time you can't help stealing a glance at yourself in that magical reflective object, someone more than likely saw you do it and is laughing a little in the inside :)
