Good job!

Who’s really being Mr. Funny-Man here?

“Bar None”“Air, Apparent(ly)”“Novice In Blunderland”“What Are You Weighting For?”“Tripping The Light Is Fantastic!”“Easy, Breezy”“Bar Tender”“Cos Weightng Up Is Hard To Do” (♫)“A Bad Reputation”“A Not- So- Weighty Responsibility”“Gimme A Workout… And Hold The Workout”“Mud, No Sweat…And More Beers”or“What’s The Hold-up?”

Good one (and so true, when one does not lift properly or tries to take on too much)!!!!!!- And “Trapped By My Own Trapezius”

Oh, Frank…. Optimism may be misplaced here, if Brad suddenly sees himself as the Punisher!

Frank’s about to face reality, in the morning when every muscle aches from unaccustomed stress.

Frank is making a Knute face in the last panel!or is it TJ-face?

Although it is true that you begin with a lower weight, you are going to feel pretty foolish only using the bar with no weights at all. Frank is in for a BIG surprise.

I prefer to go into a bar and lift beers.

“BAR.”

Now THAT Is a GOOD Idea Brad-O!

Why Don’t ’cha Take Pop to the Local Bar and Give Him a Few Dozen Adult Beverages, Then Take Him Home and Quietly Put Him to Bed?

And When He Wakes UP, He’ll have FORGOTTEN All about THIS Warehouse Art-House, Mud Racing Foolishness.

…..,But Just to be SURE, BURN His Checkbooks….,

honestly, for many people it’s just getting the motivation of doing it, and when you’ve got someone to work with, that’s easier… who knows, maybe this is the humble beginning of a new frank

Starting out easy is the key. Then gradual increasing makes it possible to reach an effective weight lifting routine. Sorta like the farmer who carried a newborn calf under each arm. He did this every day for 2 years. By that time he was carrying a full grown cow under each arm.

What a blowhard Frank is. This shouldn’t last long.

SueB1863,“Stupid Dad” just passed the bar exam. :o)

I don’t get the joke.*Like I’m supposed to NOT lift the bar? With you here, Frank.

Poor Frank is going to be so sorry in the morning. He had next-day regrets at age 20, too, but the night before was worth it then.

““Frank! Frank … !!! You’re supposed to be watching the weights!!! FRANK???”.I used to have the same problem.Slaves to our biochemistry.Didn’t even help when I reminded myself they got cooties.

Ah, hubris!

3 Sadly for me, this arc is taking the “dopey Dad” stereotype and making it even more extreme. I hope Frank is actually joking and not serious. Anyone his age would have at least a basic working knowledge of the equipment and its function… at least from seeing it on television if nothing else. I guess I may be an old grouch, but I have grown very tired of the “dopey Dad” stereotype that pervades nearly all portrayals of Dads in the media today.

Did it not occur to anyone else that Frank might be putting Brad on in the last panel?

Most gyms seem to have a bunch of weight bars lying around with the weights already attached..Last time I spent time in one, I was actually an Employee and was responsible for picking them all up from where ever they’d been left by the patrons and putting everything back in the Racks..

Sigh . . . only 37 comments so far. To tell the truth, I miss ReallyBad and the heated controversies he creates with his quirky views :P

Hahaha :D

Brad: I hope that you have an ambulance standing by for daddy-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my back!

I remember Brad flunked on his first attempt to get into the FireFighters Academy because he was in such bad shape.

I was going to go for something similar to “Raising The Bar”, but I was trying to find a good segue for a “lawyer-ish spin”. It only kept coming up “shot glasses” for me, though…

LOL, long as it’s not that dumb blasted “Life Is A Rock But The Radio Rolled Me” post….

SPOILER ALERT

The pace may be about to change. Frank is winded too soon…
