The Beef District

East Sydney is down the hill from HiDarl. Due to said hill, which you will eventually have to walk back up at some point, I rarely go there. I’m not partial to unnecessary exertion.

Anyway, I was there today and I’d forgotten just how many bodybuilders there are down there. City Gym on Crown Street is pretty serious; some guys are ridiculously huge (and curiously partial to cropped, boatneck T-shirts).

I guess the air of testosterone is pretty sexy, but sadly you also get a strong whiff of dickhead.
