Why thank you. I studied contemporary stick figure representational art in university. That degree never helped me get a job for some reason.
Lobster has mad stick figure skillz too?

That is the most awesome diagram ever.

I was sitting in one of the machines at my gym when I noticed it wasn’t bolted down. But many of the taller ones are.
bumping this for an update…
This should have a “TMI” in the title so unsuspecting innocents like myself don’t throw up all over their keyboard.
FWIW, there’s a larger than usual number of fire and rescue follk that work out at my Y, and all of us are known to the staff, just in case.

Yes. I was confused a bit until I saw the diagram. Now it’s all too sickeningly clear and my breakfast is not sitting right. Thanks, I think…

…and a quarter ton contraption snapped front over back onto a now mangled cranium at about the force of 5 gs.

No. It hit him with an *acceleration *of 1 g, by definition. To have any practical meaning, you’d have to define its kinetic energy when it hit him (1/2 m v[sup]2[/sup]).

I’m having trouble picturing it too, but I’m thinking like this diagram? Jeebus, what an idiot!
I also don’t get why he would shim the one side. If the equipment was seriously wobbly, then you’d want to alert the gym staff, because it’s dangerous. Shimming it with a weight seem preposterous to me!

It probably wasn’t wobbly, he was probably just trying to incline or decline the machine to get slightly different muscle groups. That doesn’t make it less retarded.
