I was just getting used to using the Pull Up Machine in the gym. Since I was seriously (take note: seriously) concentrating on my back muscles I knew the Pull Up Machine should be my friend.
Unfortunately, the Pull Up Machine is connected to the Lat Pull Down; hence, one cannot use it if someone is using the other. Sorry, I cannot find a photo of the machine on the web.
Earlier today in the gym, one Chinese woman was using the Lat Pull Down, so I asked her, “Can we alternate?”
She answered, “Sure!” This Chinese woman is still new to the gym so she is still being guided by the gym instructor.
I did my pull ups, “One…. Two…..” then jumped off. That’s my personal best.
When the gym instructor noticed why the Chinese woman stopped doing her pull downs he asked, “Why did you stop?”
She answered, “Because he,” pointing to me, “is doing the pull up… But he can’t do it.”
I reddened and immediately told her, “Why not announce it to everyone?”
