Working out in cul-de-sac?

Guy takes his weights into middle of culdesac most evenings and does a full work out with mats and barbells etc.

I've had to put music on as its hot and both my bedroom windows are open and I can hear him panting and straining.

It's just fucking weird isn't it? He's got a back garden!

Does he even live in the cul de sac?

Yes 😂

I'm laughing at the advert in this thread.

Perhaps we should all grab our exercise mats and get out in the street 🤣💪💪

Just start needing to go out by car, every time he sets up his stuff. Maybe nip back after 10 mins if you've forgotten something.

I’d have to move my car a lot in the evenings when he was doing it.

Same. Or get a Wayne & Garth style street hockey game going around him.

Urrggh. So sick of men that seem determined to take up so much space.

Does he just move all his stuff if someone wants to drive in / out?!

Yes! We've had to before. He just moves his stuff then goes back.

He's always got headphones in too so I don't think he knows how loud he's huffing.

Also does big barbell weights and drops them, really loud!

Perhaps he needs flat, hard surface of a certain area that his patio doesn’t cover and grass isn’t suitable.

Yes, it must look weird though.

Oh that’s hideous. What a weirdo. The grunting and straining puts me off gyms, and public yoga classes 100%

I don’t know why I thought grass was ideal to workout on found out in COVID it wasn’t just felt unstable and bit wobbly
