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

[*Bunny*]

They were referring the the fat chic with the sissy weights (that would be me) and someone behind them popped off that when Arnold started lifting he lifted light weights and that everyone starts somewhere. The buffer of the 2 guys walked off and the pudgy one looked a little lonely out there on that limb all by himself.

You're a tough woman Q.. I WISH I was there for that ... they woulda never knew what hit em ...

I know mr Shadowbox has been mentioned already, but how about his kid brother.. the little fella spazzing away at the punchbag

The cardio equipment in my gym is directly opposite the little studio with the punchbag so I get a prime view of the college boys and highschool kids living out their rocky fantasies.. sadly no-one let them know that flailing at a heavy bag for 5 minutes with horrible technique IN A HEALTH CLUB doesn't make you iron mike and doesn't mean you can kick my ass (or even my 100lb gf's ass for that matter).

It does mean I'll stare at you with a huge grin on my face and point you out to my workout partner as you make tough guy faces to try to intimidate the grannies on the treadmills ... because you're incredibly entertaining and truely pathetic at the same time

Hey wait..... thats me dammit.....Only place I can train boxing is at my health club - they have heavy bags, speed bags, and thai pads - why not train boxing/muay thai there - b/c someone may smirk at me.....I hope they do, it makes me feel special. Sometimes I even do some light sparring in the arebic room - gotta get it in however you can!

I doubt it's you then.. unless you're 18, about 120lbs, and your 'workout' consist of kickbacks and cable presses followed by spazzing and tough guy faces at the middle aged crowd on the cardio machines

there's a couple of guys who can actually punch who use it too.. but the little douches who genuinely think they're intimidating grandad are a different thing entirely

que_66, those guys were genuine assholes.. they should be kicked out of a public gym for making those kind of comments

All of the bigger guys at my gym tend to do what seem like shitty, inaffective workouts as well. I don't get it. I guess with the right amount of food and years of doing bs workouts anyone can grow to a reasonable size.

arnold did cheat curls.

They may think they're young and superior but I'm old and clever as hell.

Payback is a biotch w/redhair & glasses (that would be me).

When I reach my goal weight/size in June they'll be thinking twice about the old fat chic cuz I'm goin for milf status from the neck down!!

Not the gym but;
I was standing in the locker room at work today, leaning back against the wall with my arms down behind me, & my but resting on my hands. Nothing weird. I was talking to another guy who also goes to my gym. He's not as big as he once was, don't think he ever juiced, but he's still a decent size.
Any ways, this D-bag comes up to me & feels my bi/tri. That's just sad, 'cause it's certainly not noteworthy, & he says"Ooooooooh, you're getting big."
My budy was tying his shoes & he looks up & sees what d.b. is doing & just grins. Then D.B. looks at him & says "Man, you're getting big too." We just kind of laugh about it, but he goes on & on about it.
I tell D.B. that my friend isn't getting bigger, in fact, he's getting smaller, 'cause his workouts have slowed down.
D.B. says, "Oh, you stopped taking steroids, eh?"
Fuckin trash.

Think it might have been an undercover waiting to see if you were standing around in the locker room selling gear?
Especially if you were just standing in there leaning against a wall.
Could've been baiting waiting for you to make an offer.... saw a similar situation in a gym I used to go to. Just a thought.

Nah, it was the locker room at work. I knew both of the guys. & my gym buddy & I in no way look like juicers.
D.B. was just spouting steriotypical media garbage. You can't get big unless yer juicin.

What happened last night was not done by a moron, but it was pretty bad nonetheless.

I was right in the middle of a set of deadlifts and he starts talking to me about technique. I said "I can't talk big guy, wait til I'm done." He kept asking me questions.

This happened to me just this week when I was attempting my milestone deadlift. I was trying to focus and get fired up and a guy next to me kept asking: "Do you know John Smith?" "Do you know Phil Beck?" "Do you know..." For Christ's sake! There was a lot of weight sitting on the floor waiting for me and he just kept firing off his shit cannon.
