Swole, Intimidating Guy At The Gym Loves Hugs And Puppies

Posted on April 4, 2017April 9, 2017 by Camille Lemieux

The weight room feels like you stepped off the Metra in a neighborhood you shouldn’t be in. It can be quite intimidating lifting 15-pound dumbbells next to a guy who is lifting the entire rack of weights with his foot as he cranks out 40 chin-ups.

In response to the budget issues at Lake Forest College, the College Council has been discussing possible solutions to fill the $350,000 hole.
