Bottom of the stainless steel railing for the steps leading from the oval up to bottom of the grandstand, which houses the changing rooms, commentators' box, and media room.
The centre pole holding up the railing on both sides looks like a stocky weight lifter with thin arms.
Just a modest photo of me doing some light lifting [A "retired" Iraqi MiG-25]. Nearly a dozen of these aircraft comprise Balad's MiG Graveyard.

Wake up and look at this thing that I bring
Wake up, be bright, be golden and light

Yours truly with prop weights (much lighter than they appear) at Karina Inkster's Health & Fitness booth at the Health & Wellness Fair, Powell River Recreation Complex (photo by Karina Inkster).
I had a great time helping to showcase our community on assignment for the Peak newspaper (photos & video):

A female solitary wasp (Ammophila sabulosa) carrying a pebble the size of her abdomen in her jaws to seal up her nest. This large pebble was followed by several smaller ones and then sand was brushed over until the burrow was invisible. I didn't see her provisioning the nest but presumably it contains at least one paralysed caterpillar.

The day the Rio Olympic Games begin is a good day to present another sports crumpled model. It is designed from a 26 cm square tissue paper. The final height of the model is 10 cm

So, I went to the gym and tried (again) this class called ‘Body Pump’
Its, essentially, weight-lifting to music, in a class with about 20 others and an instructor leading the sequences.
All well and good.
Two songs in and I had to go and sit down for a rest. Very embarrassing indeed.
I got back up and joined in later, with much smaller weights, but again I had to sit down towards the end.
Everyone in the class was polite enough and I got a few sympathetic smiles.
But still...
I can survive the aerobic based cardio classes, but working any sort of muscle just isn’t in me.
There’ll be no muscle-boy photos from this photostream in the future, that’s for sure.
