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

[Jim Ouini]

You guys are great lol.

I thought of something I simply cannot stand ... I need to know this ... WHY do men wear spandex? WHY?

Not under your shorts or pants, but full blown skin tight spandex? What is this appeal of the material? NO it does NOT flatter your package and it does not look good. If you're a cyclist that's cool, but please get out of my weightroom with these things ... good lawd ... Who wears em? I was going to start a poll b/c the # of men I see in these friggin things is doubling

First of all, I'd like to state that I actually DO lift when I go to the gym, I just don't go and look around observing people

That being said, there was this guy at the same 24hr who used to wear the light gray cotton bike shorts. Oh my. So tight you could tell what religion he was, as we used to say.

That place was real freakshow now that I come to think of it.

Thanks for reminding me of this guy I saw at the gym wearing spandex on the weekend.

Picture a cross between an aging hippie and Richard Simmons. Long scraggly grey hair, sleeveless shirt, and spandex biking shorts.
What made this guy unique besides his outfit was his workout "routine". Basically he was jogging around the gym between stations, then every minute or so he would stop and run on one speat really quickly in tune with the music. It looked like he was auditioning for flashdance. He was doing it right in front of the power rack so I waited for him to jog away before I started using it.

.. it was AWESOME.

I pictured chris farely saying this when i read your post lol ... i bet it was

I know Good thing I'm not one of the smart asses who'd say, " I'm too busy working out to notice this shit..."

Thanks ... "I just threw up in my mouth a little bit."

I like the way this thread has turned. It went form Morons at the gym to hot chicks in tight clothes looking for attention doing things bent over... perfect!

We have a few of those at our gym and it really makes the work outs that much more enjoyable.

Yeah well you can thank me for that one! And no I don't do bent over stuff on purpose and NO I'm not looking for the guy to stare at my stuff!

Well not sure if I'm a moron but I'm telling you guys anyway b/c I think it's funny ... Today was leg day at the gym.

I don't wear shorts really ever and try to stay somewhat covered (it depends). SO I wear a pair of tight pants with a comfy loose pair over them, Zipper side on the bottom so they're not tapered.

Set up to do a few warm up reps with the bar & squatted to the floor. I had my IPOD on I guess a little to loud b/c the first few warm ups I could feel a seam splitting ... I turned off the IPOD, squated again and could HEAR the seams pop some more ... and so could anyone in my vacinity for that matter. I re-racked the bar & decided the top layer must come off, so I pulled my pants down and stomped 'em off.

When I turned around, lol, I think the guy behind me with his mouth open realized I DID have pants on underneath and kinda shook his head (as in 'to snap out of it') and finished his rows... I did have my personal best leg day today though

Funny stuff with those pants.

What i realy hate in the gym is people walking around as if they are GOD. Like they are carying watermelons under theur arms. Ussualy its the 170 lb club kids too with the spiked up hair who talk on the cell phone. I dont even react anymore.
On the positive side the 5 gallon water jug seems to be going out of fashion lately...although the sandals are comming back for spring break fashion. I guess some ups and downs. Oh did i forget the guy who looks at what you are doing...then decides he should do more...just because you are doing an excercise..doesent matter that the guy is usign his whole body weight and not even doing the damn thing 2". He must show you HE IS BOSS. And my favorite is the wolf gang....the bastrds who train in packs like wolves.... damn morons...I think somone already wrote a thead about these guys..here on elite....he put it perfectly...." they can readily be found by the bench press area"

Ok my vent is done.

I love it how some guys see a woman training and automatically think they're stronger. 2 or 3 days a month, usually on Sunday, I workout with one of the female trainers from my gym if she has the day off. She's competed in everything from bodybuilding to powerlifting to more recently fitness comps. I can't count the number of times in the last few years where she finished her last set of leg presses and some kid (or grown adult) hops on the sled with the same weight that she was using and ends up getting his knees slammed up against his chest....And the look of shock on his face when he's standing back up making sure nobody saw him is priceless.
