I have to force myself not to look at people at the back row machine pulling with their lower back and yanking like it's a lawn mower. Ditto the lat pulldown where they are bouncing up and down like a Jack Russel terrier.

I see some goofy shit and have to remind myself I have no idea what odd specific thing it is someone might be training for. They really might just be training to start their lawn mower.

Nothing is more impressive than starting a lawnmower on the first pull.

Your milkshake might bring all the boys to the yard, but my lawnmower pull brings all the men.

....I thought you meant a rowing machine at first, and was confused because you use the entire core, back, and arms for that so why is it a problem? But I just can't parse sentences late at night, clearly haha.
