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

I love this thread for the express reason to vent my frustrations. This is an excellent bump. I started training at Gold's Gym in Pittsburgh for the past 6 weeks, so I can be around some other National Competitors to give me some motivation for The North American Championships. Anyway, the owner pulled me aside tonight and said to me that he had received over 20 complaints about me for: intimidation, dropping F-bombs, slamming weights, etc. He politely said I had to tone it down a little bit or he would have to ask me to leave. When he was telling me this I felt my temperature rise to about 200 degrees. I said, "fuck it, this is a gym not a nursing home. Do you expect me to pass out lollipops and sing lullabies"? I thought dude was way out-of-line for confronting me about those kind of Mickey Mouse reasons. I feel the gym is a battleground, not a playground, so I told him to fuck off and I quit the gym.

There's no fucking bodybuilding gyms left. Not many anyways. My gym is full of pansies. The other gym in my town is loaded with college faggots and cardio queens. There's a real old school meathead gym in the city a half hour away(38 minute drive with traffic) but with my big ass truck getting 13mpg I just cant pull it off financially 5 days a week. It would cost me $20 a month for membership and $100 a week in gas to travel to train.
Led, I highly doubt you were intimidating anyone intentionally. If I had to guess... your training intensity and general demeanor in your own space whilst training was intimidating to a bunch of queer-bags and they complained.
How the fuck do you go through life like that? Oh no...someone is big and loud....I feel threatened.... I have an idea for those folks....go fucking kill yourself.

Yep, the old school bodybuilding gyms are obsolete. It is called a "paradigm shift" and it definitely has shifted in the direction that is not favorable for "our" types. They don't make any money off people like you and me; our monthly memberships don't put a dent in their overhead. Therefore, those gym owners prey on demimondes, desperate housewives, and phlegmatic males who don't have a clue about fitness. That is done so they can hustle those types via personal training, and of course so they can try to get the girls in bed.

I never purposely intimidated anyone. I only peeled down twice in six weeks to examine my physique because the lighting is real good in that gym, which enabled me to get a good fix on my physique. I never once kicked anyone off of a machine, and I never once cursed at anyone. I have concluded that the majority of gyms these days are social clubs; a place where people can social network, training is definitely secondary. People like myself, you, and Steve convict and expose those types for not having the balls to be dedicated enough to develop a decent physique. Consequently, they go on mass propaganda campaigns to besmirch our reputation, so that we are deemed as psychopaths who will eventually physically harm someone. They want our types out, so they can resort back to their little comfort zone and proceed with trying to impress women and old people. When we are on the scene they don’t get any attention, which they can’t handle.

I agree those people might as well commit physical suicide; they already committed emotional and spiritual suicide, and have been emasculated.

I'm pretty sure the coup de grace was that the owner found out that I have been dating one of the more popular girls from that gym, that's when he decided to confront me about my so-called sociopathic behavior. Basically the same thing happened to me on this site last summer.

Oh well, I stuck em, so fuck em!!

in bold is the most pathetic part and so true. the dude who signed me up spent more time chasing pussy and looking at asses than actually working out or doing his job. I like the guy personally but from talking to him he is a 30 year old loser going nowhere in life and getting wasted every other night and I've told him repeatedly he needs to find new friends and get his shit together. thats the types of people who they hire at gyms
 
thats why i try to hit the gym when no one is around to bother me asking questions or try to do all the same exercises as me so annoying i hate people i need my own gym like ronnie
 
If you want an old-school gym check out gyms in small towns. The guy that owns the gym I lift at is a former powerlifter/now cop whose garage got too small for all his equipment so he just started a small gym for him and his friends to go to. Over the years he has added to it from time to time. Members like myself have even bought stuff and just gave it to him so we can use it there. The gym is focused towards powerlifting so no smith-machines or anything like that. Its small, but not too small. Every member gets a key so you can go whenever. As long as he has x-number of members he will pay the rent every month. Its not a money making venture for him. In a way it reminds me of the golds gym in the Pumping Iron movie. Just a bunch of big guys lifting and bullshitting. Good times.
 
I used to work out at Thorbeckes gym in Tempe AZ back in the day. Saw John Cole there all the time. Also home to Dave Draper and Superstar Billy Graham in the 70's.
Nice dungeon. Lots of chalk in the air :)
 
Guys that a small as shit and look liek they dont even lift, and they put Ungodly amounts of weight, and try and lift it with no form wats so ever, then get off acting like there king shit
 
I periodically check this thread to see If I am mentioned in it anywhere doing something stupid (no srsly)

I got so pissed at these guys bogarting two squat racks and all the in between floor space (for barbell floor work) and all the extra barbells over there I went and grabbed a barebell of a flat bench and like jump in between all their shit (mid set, IDC) and grabbed every available olympic plate they had and literally threw them to where I left the barbell and proceeded to rip a shitload of overhead squats that were way to much weight for me before I pulled a muscle in my neck and convinced myself momentarily I was having a heart attack (clen and other "stuff")
then txtd a friend that I was pretty sure I was gonna drop dead

Im not sure who was the dumbass in that entire scenario...probably me

by the time they cleared out I was too crippled to work out anymore...so, fail
