mid-workout... POWER GOES OUT...what do you do?

You LIFT LIFT LIFT LIFT LIFT!!!!!!!!!!

Due to the crazy ass storms in the south, the power gets knocked out mid workout.

Owner informs us that if it doesn't come back on in 15 minutes, hes closing shop...

First of all, lifting in the dark, though dangerous, is fucking hardcore. (not completely dark mind you, a few emergency lights on)...but while doing cable fly's facing the mirror with only portions of my body not covered in darkness looked like a fuckin Frank Miller comic.

It was fucking great, i pushed out the last 2 sets of my skulls/kick back superset, 3 sets of upper and 3 sets of lower cable flys and 2 sets of dips in 15 minutes.

The owner is a cool guy... while i was walking out he told a quick story about a Gold's he once owned(10+ years ago) in San Fran where it flooded one night and the "hardcore muscleheads"(as he called them) were working out in 6" of water...now thats hardcore.

Lol, that sounds like a good time.

Hell YEAH!! Work right on through. If you were really focused you wouldn't have even noticed the lights being out. LOL!

I am in the south too so I know exactly what you are talking about with these afternoon gully washers.

Happened to me 2 weeks ago, again a little light, completely silent coz all power went, all you cud hear was the weight and a few grunts. the concentration tho was beyond normal. i think wiv vision and hearing havin no distraction you can completely concentrate on the job in hand, in our case LIFT HEAVY ARSE WEIGHTS
