在練習大量的舉重以後,一些人在雙方喜歡走與腋窩開放寬, 6到12英寸,像有困難關閉他們。 它是,如他們舉行巨大的無形的籃球在腋窩之下。 我最初稱它「無形的籃球在腋窩綜合症狀之下」。 但,以後,某人告訴了我它叫 虛構的拉特銀幣綜合症狀(ILS) 或被誇大的拉特銀幣綜合症狀(ELS)。 解釋張開胳膊的這幻覺喜歡為什麼名字是虛構的拉特銀幣綜合症狀。 拉特銀幣(latissimus)是我們的一個肌肉小組在後面。
是,有時,當我們工作我們的背部肌肉足够時艱苦,我們傾向於做那。 但,進展,開始有臭味的腋窩那麼寬和不必須每分鐘做它是不必要的。 實際上,要做它的借口在每種鍛煉之後,不是鍛煉介入仅腿,二頭肌,產犢或者其他肌肉。
為什麼人們有ILS
我未做任何科學研究,而是這ILS的可能的原因我的名單:
- 想要注意? 我看見了傢伙寬張開他的胳膊用他虛構的拉特銀幣的最壞,然後在體操附近慢慢地走了,當試圖聯繫目光接觸與大家時。 要提高作用,這個人通常將伸出他的胸口,好像他也是有巨大的胸口。 他用舉重手套和舉重傳送帶通常來。
- 想要是Ronnie Coleman ? Ronnie Coleman是八時間先生。 奧林匹亞標題優勝者。 在真實,當Ronnie放鬆他的拉特銀幣時,他可以給他的邊實際上減少他的胳膊。 它仅在愛好健美者寬將張開胳膊打動法官和觀眾的舞臺。
- 正在尋找夥伴? 我相信這個姿勢使用主要作為信號的形式吸引或打動女性。 願是這些傢伙顯示它,當看上去大到威脅或威逼敵手男性的防禦或優勢姿勢,以便他們可以得到夥伴他們要。 但,自為什麼他們必須做它在體操方面,我不知道。
最滑稽的片刻與ILS
一个最滑稽的經驗在體操方面是我偷聽在我的體操某個時候前的這些交談。
常常,銷售人將帶來潛在的顧客在體操附近走顯示他們設施。
在一個美好的下午,一名中間三十婦女走向自由重量區域與她的小矮小的俏麗的女兒。 那時時間,一個人,沒有任何巨大的拉特銀幣,走附近也是。 He opened his arms wide enough to get the attention of the mother and the daughter.
He took the dumbbells. Walked in front of them. Then, without lifting the weights, he put the dumbbells back to the rack. Never in a second he has closed his arms while he doing so. He walked past the mother and the daughter again.
The little girl then asked, “Mama, why this uncle has to walk with armpit open wide wide? Is he sick?”
When I heard this and I saw how embarrassed this muscle man-wanna-be was. He quickly closed his armpits and walked away pretending nothing happened.
And I had to run out…run out to laugh as loud as I could. WTF.
How To Discourage ILS in Your Gym
One of the best ways to discourage this ILS is to avoid eye contact at all costs with people like these. Remember, they want you to acknowledge them and if you do, they will do it more often and look for you every time they go to the gym.
For those who have been having ILS for some time, it is time to rest your arms casually. It won’t hurt yet it makes you behave like a normal person.
What do you think about ILS?

Hahaahah!!!! Good one!
I don’t notice such stuff ‘coz I can’t stand some of those bodybuilders because they’re soooo vain. :-P
Anyway, even if I did see it, I’ll probably think if this guy is in pain or what?

Thank goodness the kid commented that… I never like to go to the free weights area in my gym cos i wanna avoid these type of people. Moreover, if a woman ever walk to tat area, all the men will be looking at you and giving you the impression that we dun belong there. To me, they are a bunch of show-offs! We women nowadays dun go for muscular men entirely .. To me, the intelligence of the man is more interesting … LoL

i’m beginning to love reading your blog
some good stuff here. this is one of the problems, many OLD men have. it’s not the younger generation that have this issue IMHO.
just because they’ve trained for years, (and still look about the same), they just find that it’s totally necessary to do such a stupid action. And they will tell me that it’s not good to carry heavy, must carry light do more reps. Honestly, how do you tell these buffons that you don’t want their “help”?

OMG, I admit that I have this errr, this ummm, should I call it syndrome? I don’t think it’s a syndrome, but it sure makes me feel good about myself. That happens when I’m flexing my lats in the mirror. Hahahahaha, those of you with smaller lats, work it our first yea ;)
P/S: Well I don’t think it’s only my lats, but my thighs too ;)

They just wanted to spread their manly odour, hoping that you will recognise their presence when you get in contact with the stench!!
