I destroyed the elliptical machine in the gym - AMA

Good work bugler.

I once broke an elliptical machine after, like, 5 minutes of using it.

I don't like clowns especially their shoes.

I don't know why the machine broke. The manager came over and couldn't figure it out but was annoyed with me. He told me to clean it(was drenched in my sweat) and move onto another machine. None of the girls came over to assist me or see if I was ok. I could have been hurt which was annoying.

I don't know where that person got that thread I made a year ago about a date. I never saw her again anyway.

In my country, clowns like you!

You're a beast BB. Chicks are scared of ya.

Did you continue your workout on a different machine afterwards?

They probably didn't assist because they are too self absorbed and shallow. After that happened I lost motivation. I went to lay down on one of the mats to stretch and pretended to grunt in pain, in the hope that a girl would ask me how I am and it would break the ice and get a conversation started. It didn't work so I left after a few minutes.

Did you go home DEVASTATED after that workout?

What was your post workout meal?

I hate cross training. Did you feel like you got enough of a workout or did you go run after that outside?

I hate when a workout gets cut short.

I have never destroyed a pizza buffet(poster above) but I would like to try. I can eat a mountain of pizza if I'm really hungry.

I ate a load of chips and a beetroot salad. I didn't run afterwards. I went to the park and climbed trees. I have always enjoyed doing this(I still have the inner child in me). I enjoy climbing up high and being able to look around at everything. It is good for using other muscles you wouldn't normally use just for running. Sometimes I bring a backpack with a flask of coffee and a book up and stay there for hours depending on weather.

Tell us about your last date.

Last winter I had to use the treadmill my gym a lot and I would use the same machine every time. The annoying part would be that I had to usually do 70 minute long easy runs and the machine only stays on for 60. I figured out a way to skip the mandatory cooldown that the treadmill does after the 60 minutes are up, so I could get 65 and then jump on another treadmill for the last 5. One day, I asked the gym dude at the counter how to make the treadmill go longer than 65 minutes and he said they're not built to. Since I used the same treadmill every time, it broke due to overuse after about 2-3 weeks. About a month later the gym replaced every treadmill in the gym with newer ones and the most I have hit was 13 miles on it. True story.

Nice story.

You know how most exercise machines let you enter your weight to calculate the calories you burn? Last year, I was still a student so I went to the campus recreation center to work out. There, the default weight was set to 200 lbs. Since I am not a student anymore, I joined another gym. There, the default weight is set to 350 lbs. Just something I noticed and I found interesting. Made me wonder if these weights are based on the average gym user weight or something. I mean, at that new gym there are quite a few big people. But good for them to work out.

Maybe the default is actually just the settings of the last user?

Why aren't you answering the questions directed at you? I don't think you know how AMA works.

I think Banana Bread answered all the questions that were asked. The story started promising, but after the machine broke down all Banana Bread did was climbing trees.

I didn't go home devastated since I went to the park.

My last date was about as good as Rupp, Hasay and Mo's sharting the bed in Chicago if you want to define it as a date. She was really big and not too pretty. Basically I told her she is perfect and looks don't matter. She didn't believe me but eventually came around and asked me to come to her parents for a dinner. I felt bad about pretending to like her and tried to dig my way out by saying I'm busy with projects at work and am needed overtime. She refused to believe me and said she knows I'm lying and making excuses. I was speechless and couldn't think of what to say. I must of said sorry about a million times to get her to calm down. I was the laughing stock of Starbucks. I need to wear a mask if I ever return there

I need to hear more. Can you provide a script like you did of that other coffee date?

Well, we're waiting!
