Mirrors in the weight room... why?

I can understand mirrors in the dance studio, to study and improve technique. But the mirrors in the weight room, so common in gyms... are these just picture frames for the the most narcissistic 'athletes' of all? Or do they have legitimate value?

also I would imagine so you can make sure you are doing exercises correctly.

So that no matter what you're doing you can still check out all the lycra-clothed ass in the room.

So that you can check your form. It's essential!

Mirrors in the weightroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me.
Can I take you to a 24 Hour Fitness
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are lifting.

it also lets you check out other desirable folks in the gym slyly.

so you can see when the guy benching behind you in the plum smuggler shorts pushes too hard and one of his nuts drops out.

weightlifting is masturbation.. might as well watch yourself as you do it.
