A lady at the gym made me smile, when she encouraged another lady to put more weight on the hip adductor machine.

I think that's what you call the one where you sit and push out with your knees. She was only doing like 30 pounds. I do 130, and the lady who was encouraging her does 70.

It sort of set off this energy where all the women started noticing and commenting on each other's workout.

I helped this older woman use one of the ab benches, and someone gave me some tips on, I don't know what it's called, but a machine where you stand on your knees and twist your body; I'd always thought I'd hurt my lower back on it, but she encouraged me to try it with less weight. She said I wasn't getting, shit I forget what you call them, the muscles on the side of your torso.

The night before, I had to smile when a giant guy got off one of the upper body machines, and he sweating like a parody of a person sweating, it was so excessive.

He really wiped down the machine when he was done, used the spritzer on every surface. I thanked him for cleaning up so well and remarked that it was impressive that he pressed 270. I only press 70. He was super low-key about it but I could tell he was really proud when he said he could only do ten reps, but he started with two. I said that was great, that I started with 30 (pounds, not reps) but now I'm up to 70. He said that was great, too.

All of this gym talk makes me smile.
