Morons at the gym (the official thread)...

[blut wump]

Sorry bro maybe I was being a bit sensative perhaps a little more respect is required for the elderly on my part, oh well still thought it was funny.(who knows what I will be doing when im old, shit 30,s just around the corner )

Nah, I think I was the one over-reacting. I know I'd have laughed at someone wearing Marigolds in the gym.

I go to golds gym, and i dont mind it so much because i usually go pretty late when the crowd is thinned out. It only took me a few weeks to catch onto the weirdos in there....we have the dude that brings in a huge ass tub of celltech, drinks his shake and starts doing squats. Nothing wrong with doing squats, except every friggin time he throws up the celltech in the trashcan right next to the water fountain, and it stinks up a good portion of the gym. Then we have schizophrentic Dave...i dont know his real name, but he walks around talking to himself and smacking his forehead......i dont think i have ever seen him move a single weight.....several times i have been doing deadlifts and he was standing only a few feet behind me yelling and karate chopping the air staring at me. He flipped out on some girl that got on his treadmill before he wiped it down and started growling at her, so they kicked him out for good.

There's this guy who lives next to the gym and looks like a 90ies fatty skinhead, squats 6 times a week and yesterday, he couldn't stap babbling about powerlifting to this new 17-yr old kid who tries to do some olympic lifts 3 times a week (and I respect that).
After making himself the big man by talking shit about half an hour about bodybuilders being pussys and powerlifting being for the real guys, he returns to where he put his halters and continues his tricep kickbacks. I had a hard time trying to hold my laugh.

I broke a PR in the gym yesterday, i was in a pretty shitty mood, and ended up taking 7 of the Pure CEE caps cause i couldnt feel anything with a smaller dose. My old PR was a deadlift at 275 for 4 reps, nailed 315 for 3 reps today. Was feeling pretty damn good about puttin 3 plates on finally and some dude that was training this younger kid walks up and asks me not to set a bad example for the new guys. And i was like, sir im fairly new myself what are you talking about, and he proceded to tell me that deadlifts will cripple you later in life, and that i should go get on the row machine if i wanna work my back real good.

Im not 100% how my body works but Im very skinny but strong. This happened before my accident that broke my wrist.

I was doing the bicep machine at 70lbs. I am 5'10 and weighed about 135-140lbs (yes very skinny) so this guy comes and asks if he can go in between. I said sure. This guy was in basketball jersey and shorts. He was 3 times bigger then me with big bicep (or atleast the definition) but I noticed he was new cuz his buddy kept telling him to stand up straight or push his chest out in some exercises. So this guy sits down at the machine and looks at me, probably thinking "if that skinny fuck can do it, I can too" .. dude doesnt even lift the weight up 1/4 way before his face goes BRIGHT RED and his factial expression turns to WTF!>!?!!? ... and he looks at me in total disbelief..

as soon as this happens, I do a quick 180 and start snickering.. it hurt me so much from not busting out laughin... funniest moment in the gym evar, ill never forget it.

Man it makes me miss the days I could actually use my arm.. cant wait to get back on the saddle.. but for now, its all legs baby

 

[odoyal rulez]

I cant stand people that work out in jeans and muddy workboots...seriously bring some sweats and some sneakers in a gym bag..leaving dirt everywhere..

Just in general: I hate people who come dressed up to the gym.

I wear gym shorts, sneakers with holes in the toes and a rotation of like 3 shirts all with rust stains on the front from doing cleans.

But there are people who come in full matching hollister getups or abercrombie jeans.

Don't know why, but it annoys the hell out of me.
