Monday 2nd May - shoulders & Legs

Short session today, bank holidays are really messing me up with early closing... no squats or calf raises as shoulders red raw...

Over the last few months I've noticed a girl around the gym who is painfully thin. Every time I see her I just have the urge to go upto her and say something to her, but I wouldn't know what to say to her. I can totally empathise with her, she spends hours doing various cardio workouts and usually still there right up to the gym closing. It's painful to watch her getting thinner and thinner... this girl needs help...
