Addendum to Gym Rules and Rant

I don't workout at a gym. If I did, and somebody started speaking to me during a heavy set of anything, I would straight up tell them to "fuck off".

I am always surprised by how nice the serious trainers tend to be compared to the guys nwe to it all.

AMEN!

Yes, this is very true. When I was at the same gym as NPC Mr. North Carolina Rodney Saunders, a beast of a guy who could easily have turned pro IMO, I found him to be incredibly friendly and open. I was only 16 at the time, and he made a point to complement how good I was doing at that age. That day, the only thing that could've made me happier was to have Heather Locklear fall in love with me

Last week as I walked in the gym unbeknownst to me a used up cinema ticket fell out my pocket as i fished for my always elusive membership card, this totally built guy who I see a lot in the gym picks it up and follows me in just to give it me back!

Exactly. Nice guy.

Many big guys don't have anything to prove to anyone but themselves. They typically don't strut around flexing their lats real hard. They don't bully smaller guys. They're there to train.

Some half-wit teenager, though, is all about gaining acceptance. His self-worth is defined by what others think of him. So he walks around with ILS, tries to lift weights that are far too heavy for him, and looks hard to find a chink in his superiors' armor.

If I ever train with you. . . I will be sure to leave you alone!

I wish I could've, but in the throes of one of those stretches I couldn't say much of anything beyond "mommy."

louden, you could get away with saying whatever you wanted if we were training together!

Anyway, I'd just make you pay for the buffet because I wouldn't try to start something
