At the gym today they were doing some sort of photo shoot. It looked like a magazine or catalog, not a promo for the gym itself – there was one überbuff guy in all sorts of snazzy sleeveless shirts demonstrating arm exercises in one major chunk of the weight room, with no logos or anything at all representing the gym itself.
And you talk about ego killers… I felt especially skinny near the model. I think there were about 3 different guys who came down the stairs, saw Mr. Bicep and his entourage (2 photographers, one gofer, and one guy whose job was to pace in the hallway for no apparent reason), and decided “I think I’ll go run today.”
But it’s OK, really. I got the chance to alter my lower-body and midsection workout, and it was a terrific challenge (even if it was a blow to my self-confidence that the model’s arms were each about the size of my thighs).
