So I made him sit backwards on rowing machine, he did good 4X10 backwards rowing. Then he realized that people were staring at him in a strange way, he did not come to gym for about 3 weeks after that day. One day I went to his dorm and told him, look you joined the gym you must keep going otherwise they will throw you out, here in USA (we are both Turkish) gyms have strict rules, if you dont go to the gym regularly you must give them a reasonable explanation. And I also told him that they take members measures and if your biceps dont get 1" every month you are out. So the guy calls the gym and tells the front desk girl that he is still on vacation and explained why he did not go and promised he will add 1" every month to his biceps and apoligized from her. That was the funniest thing ever hapened in front of my eyes, I bit my tongue not to laugh. Just in one day and after only one work out he became Gold's Gym legend. I still laugh when I think about it. I ran into this guy couple weeks ago, he still looks like a beanpole and wished never fooled him, well its too late isn't it?
