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

[djeclipse]

This moron is the manager of the weight department of the YMCA I work out at. He's the typical do it yourself home schooled PT type person that hasn't worked out a day in his life.

The squat rack they have there is non-adjustable, the safety bars are fixed and too high for me and a few other people. When I do a full squat the bar will deload on the safety bars = not good.

I asked him if I could bring in a little platform made out of 2 x 4's and plywood as it would lift me up enough so I could do a full squat and clear the safety bars.

He said no because of safety issues (kind of expected that), and then proceeded to tell me that they specifically picked that rack because they want people to do what they think is a proper squat which is at or above parallel.

I started to explain to him just how ignorant he was and he got this blank stare on his face when I mention sheer forces on your knees when you stop at or above parallel. He basically had nothing to say when I told him that the hips are much stronger then your knees and if you go below parallel the weight is transferred to your hips instead of the knees...

He replied with more of a blank stare. I told him that I have to walk out of the rack to do my squats and the first time I fail on a heavy set I'm dumping the weight and someone is going to get hurt (there's always some tool behind me when I'm doing squats).

He still didn't seem to care much, hopefully no one is behind me when I get stuck on a lift, lol.

I just can't believe the number of PT's that just don't have a clue.

I think that blank stare is actually a module in the manual that they get tested on.

OK Here's from last nite's leg workout. Not really "morons" but interesting experience...

I managed to spend all of Wednesday trying to recover sleep from being up all nite working (not partying...) so pretty much blew the whole day between diet & training. So I was both well rested and feeling like a slacker for missing a day, so I'm ready to go in & KILL THAT SHIT last nite. Normally I love leg day, but I've got enough tendon problems that I sort of dread it because just everythign hurts - once I get warmed up its all good tho.

OK I'm in there. Did hams first - GMs, SLDLs, leg curl + butt blaster supers, reverse hypers to the point of cryign for mommy. Now its quad time. Front squats (always enjoyable). Now its time for the hack + leg press super. I rack up 125 lb on each side of the hack, & 4 plates on the leg press. Do the sets - 3 x 12 reps w/ wide stance. While I'm doign this, these two young guys come in & start setting up the sliding hack machine between my two machines. One guy seems to be leading the other. They put on 25 lb plates. The other guy is feeling stupid because I've now racked up another plate on the leg press for reps. They're up to 70 lb on each side. I'm now on my close stance sets w/ 6 plates on the leg press for 15 reps. The other guy keeps looking over while he's doing his 2 plates on the hack. His friend is off setting up something else. And then the first guy is nice enough to help me strip the plates when I'm done. Very nice guy. The other guy is sort of like getting pissed .

Finally at the end of the night I'm leaving and the one guy asks what my leg day looks like and what my whole split looks like. Then says he wants to train w/ me next time I do leg day. His buddy is all like "fuck you man".

eh maybe you had to be there. It was sorta nice. I don't train at a hardcore gym so there are lots of newbies who have the most godawful form - most of them guys too - but I just hook up the iPod and pull the hat down and do what I'm there for. The other guy was obviously peeved that he got dumped for leg day training.....

 

[liegelord]

I guess it was bound to happen. I'm real short on time to workout tonight and as I head to the squat rack there they are; and not just doing curls either. Until tonight I had only read about them on this forum - the team curlers and using only the bar.

By the way, these were the same skinny kids who laughed at the 56 year old powerlifter last month. Coincidence?

 

[rick_hfh]

Back in highschool I was was lifting during studyhall. I was doing 315 for reps and wanted a spot. The only people around were two freshman, big mistake. One got on each side of the bar as I started lifting. I got a few good reps and just got short of lock out and bar slowed slightly. Then it happened. The dumb freshman pulled up on the bar on his side as hard as he could. As the right side of the bar was raised the left side came crashing down on my chest. The other freshman jumped as the weight on his side hit the floor. I had to wiggle from under the bar to get from under it. Both just sat there all red and just looked at me. If I would have tore a peck I would have beat them both with my good side. But they apologized and I let them put my weights back.

maybe you should have told him to watch some olympic lifting videos...

Screw all the people telling me not to drop the weights. I'm not going to break my wrist so I can set the weights down gently. I do the best I can, fuck off.

 

[Sassy69]

You know, I had a moron-free night at the gym. When I walked in there were all sorts of people (typical Monday trying to compensate for a weekend of debauchery). But by the time I finished my warm up, all my eqpt was clear I even had a nice young man spot me on a military press

Gotta love the topless guys.. I feel like a tool when I wear a wifebeater (even tho its 90+ in my gym and I sweat like a pig) so I don't know
what is going through their minds

A couple of emaciated young guys were doing that shit in my old Bally one time, flexing shirtless in the crossover (to admire the separation on their 34" chests) When I asked them if they were looking to make new friends
in an almost exclusively gay gym those shirts went back on at double speed.

Monday was a holiday here in Canada so I went to the gym around 4:00 instead of my usual time of 5:30 or so after work.

I was doing squats when these two morons decided to really "crush" their quads on the leg press machine. They made a point to be extra loud in order to draw attention to themselves, they felt the urge to say at least 5-6times how much weight was on the leg press before each set.

One guy wanted to test his "max" which he made sure everyone knew it was 950lbs. Of course before attempting such a feat of strength they had to recruit a 3rd member to help them as a team move this weight. In true moron fashion the 3 of them managed to move this weight about 1/4 ROM for 2 extremely sad reps.

By this time I've moved on to bench press and since these morons have filled up the leg press with 45's I had to scrounge for 2 45's and leave them by the bench as I warm up (the gym doesn't have that many 45lb plates).

They then make it known that their hero of a friend wants to try 1000lbs and start looking for more 45's. After looking around one of the tools goes to grab the plates I have leaning on the bench and looked quite shocked when as he went to grab it I said "don't even think about it".

he gives me this look as if I should respect him and his buddy and just let them take my plates and I say to him "instead of playing around on that toy over there, why don't you try a real lift? he looks at me with the typical blank stare I seem to get...

I say "try some full ROM squats and see how much of that 1000lb leg press transfers over to a real lift."

He mumbles something about how they do squats all the time. I laughed and said I'd love to see that display.

There was a guy last night sitting on the leg extension machine for a good 10 minutes with his eyes closed. It looked like he just fell asleep in a recliner. I was gonna wake him up and ask him if he knew where the remote control was.

LOL, same situation, just different machine .. lifefitness cables... guy chillin' reading his paper ... like he was dropping the kids off ... lol

I'm like can you be serious? "Pass the TP buddy ..."
"Wha?"

I'm the same way as you. I packed my workout clothes yesterday and realized when I got to the gym that I accidently grabbed a cut-off shirt. I felt a like a douche-bag the entire workout. I'm in no position to be wearing cutoff shirts. I hate showoffs and never want to be known as one.

LOL. The newspaper guys are the worst. One guy was sitting on the bike barely peddling reading a Popular Mechanics magazine. One of the workers walks by and he asks him if they got the new June edition in yet. I'm thinking is this a gym or Borders now?

 

[vansmack2000]

For the most part i always join smaller independent gyms, but once and awhile i will hit a 24hr/or LA Fitness and thats are all the nut cases seem to be.
In ATL (LA Fitness) once a bigger dude (#1 we'll name him) was doing tri's on the crossovers and he had a towel over the stack. well he walks off for a bit, some normal guy starts using the machine. well when big dude #1 comes back he has to 'remind' this normal guy that he was still using the machine and he should have known that since his towel was there. Well the normal guy not wanting to make a big deal says sure, sorry i didnt know. Well Bigger Dude #2 from accroess the way jumps in and starts defending normal guy and getting up in the face up Big Dude #1. Needless to say this fiasco went on for a bit. The almost had to finish their business outside.

Another incident was @ 24hr fitness. Some HS kids were jacking around, i wasent paying any attention, well they were doing curls with the permentaly weighted EZ bar , and im not sure what really happened except when he went to put it back he misracked it and it fell. Well no big deal just pick it up, except then he started break dancing or some shit on the ground and screaming like he was really cool. Then he got up and yelled. "its ok folks, all part of the show"
fucking idiot

 

[vansmack2000]

Also old men who shave themselves (god know where) while naked, no towel or anything in the locker, by far the worst thing ever

I have never actuly been naked in a public shower, I would just feel really uncomfortable, especially with all the gay guys these days...

You apparently didn't read my earlier post in here.....
I'll reiterate that sick day again. I placed my open water bottle down on the bench turned around to open my locker. I turn back around in horror... This chick just got out of the shower and her locker was below mine. She sat her naked butt down on my brand-new open water bottle. That thing got tossed!
Or the lady that prances around naked hoping for others to look at her. She was the same one I posted about that bent over in front of the bathroom stall I was in. I opened the door and grabbed the door quickly not knowing she was like yeah right there.... The back of my hand hit her in the butt and she looked at me like I grabbed her! Like I said before.. If I'm going to grab a girl's butt it's got to be on some hot chick and my hand just could not help itself! This lady looked like Uncle Fester, mixed with some psycho off of a Stephen King film.
Or the Asian ladies that leave all there black hair everywhere! It looks like someone purposefully planted hair all over the floor, walls, and sinks...
Believe me... Guys are not missing a thing in there... I'm not going to even touch on the garbage or stuff left on the floor near the garbage cans.
Maybe once a month (O.k. or once a day when I'm obviously in there )there would be a view that you all would die to see... but for the most part... Ehhhhhh ehhhhhh

Well we don't want to ruin his image of the ladies locker room now do we... *cough* I mean it's all so intimate they even have a huge bed with satin sheets we all play on and toss pillows at each other *cough*
O.k. reality check... Sorry it's more like overweight, skin folds, dental floss between dimpled cheeks, hair EVERYWHERE... floor, ceiling, and yes covered bodies... Where you are not sure if you are looking at a man or women. Ohhh and who could forget the women who sit their 300 pound zit covered butts down on the bench with no towel under them and snort real loud....
Believe me it's a Picasso painting...

The biggest issue I have w/ showers & lockers at a gym is the chance for fungal infection. That's pretty nasty to think about.

As far as real "action" -- at my last gym there were these two middle age dumpy lesbian women who would go into the handicapped shower (the big one w/ a seat) and spend like 45 min in there.

Mostly women just go about their biz, dont' look at anyone.

 

[Sassy69]

Had a couple classic "morons" moments at my gym last nite...

1) Decent shaped dude who doesn't lift often -- in there doing ez bar curls and swinging on each rep - I think his hip flexors got more workout than the ol' bis.

2) Young guy & g/f on the squat rack - he's show her how to use the bar for upright rows -- nice, slow, tight, he's holding her back straight, supporting the arms when needed. Then he takes the bar, starts snapping it up and back real fast for his own reps. That's tendonitis waiting to happen.

 

[jayseven]

Haha awesome thread.

Heres a story for everyones entertainment.

So I frequent my college gym so I see all the retards, but this loser put the cherry on the retard cake.
So I'm in the middle of my first set of bench, I'm with a buddy and all of a sudden I notice that theres some sort of gooey shit on my bar, firstly I think its some sweaty dudes run off so I disregard it and finish up my reps. When I get up I look at my hands and theres somesort of clear nasty love juice all over my hands and the bar. I look and my friend to see if its some sort of pratical joke but he's as freaked out as I. So we say f-that bench and move over to the next. As we are setting up the next bar we hear some guy swearing and he's pissed off. He's staring at his hands and hes on the upright rowing machine across from us- hes got the love juice all over his hands too.

Anyways the just of the just is- some idiot thought he had to use vasoline on his hands before every set of every exercise- there was vasoline on at least 10 machines. They cought the guy, he was wearing spandex and looked like some 80's version of prince. Needless so say he didnt walk out of the gym and I washed my hands with bleach.

Anyways that was the biggest moron I have ever seen.

 

[vansmack2000]

Today i saw the living version of Seinfeld with Izzy Mandelbaum, the old man and 3 younger guys doing the bench. He was wearing all sweats, telling these 3 guys they needed to toughen up, go to the gym more, and then yelling "push it, push it" on every rep. Then on his turn he gets all pumped up across the room, runs over tells them to add weight, barely gets the bar up once and says thats how it done boys!

it was classic

That sort of reminds me of the scene from "Striptease" where Burt Reynolds plays the dirty old congressman who is all covered in vaseline and says he puts it in his boots too because he likes the squishy feeling between his toes.

 

[liegelord]

I think the vasoline guy is the bigget moron so far.

Anyway, last night I had to wait for the power racks, one was being used for half squats and the other was being used by 2 guys doing ABS. They placed a mat on the floor inside the rack and were doing abs. It's not bad enough half the "gym" floor is dedicated to abs, but to use the power rack too?

 

[HiDnGoD]

I seriously just choked on my chicken

I was chokin my chicken on that too.

This wasn't in the gym, but. I ride my bike for an hour or so, for cardio, so I push it pretty hard, when I can. I ride on bike paths & city streets. The other day I'm riding down a bike path & I pass a guy that just entered the path, on his bike. I'm at cruising speed & he catches up to me & passes me. I'm thinkin, no big deal, he's about 20 & in better shape than I. After he's about 20 ft in front of me, he slows down a little, so I catch up. I use my bell when I pass, so as I approach him I ring it & when he hears my ring he takes off again. He does this several times, but the problem is there are other people on the path. Cyclists, roller bladers, pedestrians, Mom's with carriages, etc. So when we keep doing this, he's interfering with others, and slowing me down, because sometimes I have to slow down to keep from hitting him, or the others, ruining my cadence. So, next chance I get, I pour it on & blaze past him without ringing. He's surprised & tries to catch up, but then we get to his turn off & he falls off his bike, because he tries to take the turn too fast.
Idiot.

 

[xblitz44x]

Yesterday was my heavy squat day. I was getting ready to attempt a PR 5-rep squat. I paced back and forth with my adrenaline going, trying to get focused. I visualized completing each rep. My hands were shaking with anticipation. I was ready...

Just then I happened to glance up and saw three skinny kids all lifting their shirts together to look at their abs in the mirror. Crunching their abs from side to side, they grab-assed and giggled like a bunch of school girls. I wanted to hurl a plate across the gym at them.

 

[treilin]

Well yesterday I was at the gym and 3 high school boys (1 plays football) decided to do the obvious bench press. I'm standing there and the kid (football one) says,"O.k. guys I'm going to get one rep!" Has one guy on each end of the bar has about 185 on there.... All 3 of them get the 1 rep up and he sits it back down and says,"Wow maybe next week I'll be able to do 2!"
So I was talking with my friend who has a big mouth and he looks at the kid and says," Chest press is really going to help you get down the field faster.. great exercise choice to choose in your off season!" The kid says,"I'm working on my summer pecs!" My friend says,"Yeah because that will get you a scholarship!" The kid said,"No, but it will give me a better chance of getting laid!"

I'm busting up laughing at this whole male ego thing going on...

My friend says,"Let me guess bicep curls are next?" The kid looked all shocked,"How did you know?"

I'm dying laughing now....

My friend,"I was in your shoes once before... I just wish I would have listened to the guy telling me exactly what I'm telling you because I would have done a lot better at football!"

Not a moron so much as a gym stereotype I LOATH, the fat guy who thinks he's jacked. Not chunky, not bulky like an offseason bber, or ever a big powerlifter.. I mean this guy is one soggy sack of lipids who looks like a baby seal in a beater, but is under the impression his 20" lunch lady arms are on par with Ronnies

Fat, pink, perspiring heavily and stinking of pork rinds he waddles round the gym with his hairy belly pooching over his pants, arms spread to his sides with the worst case of ILS I have ever seen. He walks into people if they don't dare to move out of his way (he's a 'big guy' and has been told so all his life), grunts and screams and hollas as he does his shitty cheat curls with the 45's, then leaves greasy slime all over everything he touches as a parting gift.

He loaded the hammer chest with a 45 & a 25 a side, looked me square in the eye as if to let me know what was up and popped out a brutal set of half reps, followed by some flexing and more groaning. I hate that guy

 

[djeclipse]

Anyways the just of the just is- some idiot thought he had to use vasoline on his hands before every set of every exercise- there was vasoline on at least 10 machines. They cought the guy, he was wearing spandex and looked like some 80's version of prince. Needless so say he didnt walk out of the gym and I washed my hands with bleach.

Anyways that was the biggest moron I have ever seen.

I think we hae winner, what a complete ass? There must be something wrong with that guy, no one is that ignorant, are they?

 

[blut wump]

I had a strange sight at the gym today. Both squat racks were occupied and simultanously guys were calmly squatting and going to parallel on most of the reps. Obviously, making an effort but with calm faces.

Right behind them there was a guy with a look of absolute agony on his face as he was hitting his fourth or fifth rep of one-arm curls on the cross-over machine with one or two of the little plate thingies. What is it about biceps that blesses people with agony-face?


BTW any Plats who haven't voted yet, I'd really appreciate your vote. Sorry for being so shameless.

[Tweakle]

I do my cardio in the apartment building gym which would be boring as hell if it weren't for the big mirrored wall that lets me see what the other tennants are doing behind me

yesterday a guy in his mid 30's dressed in chinos and a button up shirt strolls in with an older lady in tow (mom maybe?) - without ever checking the weights he jumps on the pec dec of the universal and tries to close it. Didn't happen. Instead of lowering the weight he starts growling, goes bright red in the face and tries not one but three more times to move the stack while I stare at him in awe.

then he tells mom the machine is broken and they both leave, depriving me of potential entertainment

[liegelord]

I am visiting family in southern California and had to lift in a Bally's tonight. There was a guy there who looked like an accountant, except for the fact he had about 17 inch arms that were ripped. No chest, no back and legs like a nine year old girl. He lifted like a girl, only did partials and left the weights on each piece of equipment he used.

Well sometimes I go tanning and then to the gym... So I have tanning lotion left over... is that bad?
I mean I don't get it on the equipment because my hands are washed and my legs aren't sticking to any seats. I do smell like a walking coconut because of it.

Asian chick uses the leg press machine with one plate. When she's done, a guy jumps in, loads up and sits down.
Then I hear, "hey. excuse me". The guy's looking over at a PT working with a client.
"hey, buddy! can you give me some help?"
The PT walks over
"how do I unlock this?"
The PT shows him "turn these levers to the side...and next time you might want to TRY using it BEFORE YOU LOAD 4 PLATES ON EACH SIDE"

I'm this >< close to howling. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

hm ... coconut ...

well i dont mind if people smell good ... this is probably one of the two reasons i work out at a gym with around 80 % gay people. The other one is that they have two squat racks.

Anyway, yesterday i watched a guy doing one of the strangest exercises i ever saw. He was neeling in front of the leg curl machine, put his head under the cushion where other people place their knees, and then moved the weight by extending/ flexing his neck. Hm. I cant spontaneously think of a more effective way to slowly destroy your cervical spine.

And the PTs at that gym have gone one more step up the ladder of moronity. Calling themselves "personal trainer" in a German gym is rediculous as it is. But now they changed their signs/buttons to "Personaltrainer". Well, written together and with a capital letter its not English anymore. Its now German and means "staff trainer". Hmph. I mentioned to one PT that obviously noone cares for those annoying gym members but that im glad that at least someone trains the staff. He just grunted and switched from bicep curls on an incline bench to cable curls. He was still doing biceps when i left one hour later.

Well thats probably not funny but it pisses me off nevertheless.

 

[letsrun4it]

This is a new one for me. Some big older guy with a pony tail comes up to me and says "are you done over there?" we had just been benching and were like "Yea we're done" and he said "well you could take the wegiht off" of course we had taken the weight off and asked him what bar he was referring to and he said the squat rack I said "no we didn't use that" and he gave me this look like I was lying. I then walked around the corner and there was 1 45 on each side. It's not like someone left 400 pounds on the bar. Who complains to people they don't know about stuff like that? Just take the weight off.

 

[rick_hfh]

Ok, I have a good one. It is not at the gym, it was at GNC. There was an arse clown that was obviously on some sort of commision. Just so you know I havent bought anything from them for about 5 years. I was killing time waiting for a friend to get some shopping done. As soon as I got there he was trying to push this new brand of pretein on every customer, young or old. I heard him state that it had a great taste. I walked by and went straight back to the supps. After a few no takes he came up to me and asked if I needed help. I told him I wanted to know about any hot new supps, just to mess wiht him. His eyes lit up and headed back to the register. He proceeded to tell the benefits of the product and he did know what points to hit to make a sale. He had done a little research, though his heart was in the right place he didn't know where to draw the line. He said it tasted like chocolate milk, he guaranteed it. By this time ther was an old couple with some over priced bottle of glucosamine standing waiting in line behind me. I decided to make an example of the kid. I took him up on the guarantee. I read the container and it had aspartame. I knew it was going to be good.I layed a $20 dollar bill on the counter and told him I would bet him it for the bottle. He was quick to take me up. He got out a shaker bottle and mixed up 2 scoops, from an unopened container, with water. I told him to be fare we would have the couple be the judge of the chocolate milk flavor. So the old lady was the first to try it. Nope, doesn't taste like any chocolate milk I have ever tasted. Then the older fella, no me neither. I think you owe him that jug young man. He admitted that he had got a little over ambitious, and apologized for telling a fib. So I got my protein and headed out to find my friend. About half an hour later I walked by heading out to my car, sure enough he was giving two highschoolers his pitch. It is amazing what people will do for a dollar. I wonder how he explained the lost protein jug and the used shaker.

I do most of my exercises with my eyes closed because I can concentrate on form and I'm taking one more sense out of the picture. Plus, if I have to do some humiliating exercise like cable crunches and I know 5 guys are on the machines behind me... closing my eyes helps me to not see them staring at my butt while I perform my set. Could be why she closes her eyes

Ohhhh but I do have a moron from the gym.... The 'Kid' is about 18 or 19 and smells SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. The whole area around him makes you want to totally get ill. He wears the same mildew outfit day after day, hour after hour, carrying orange juice jugs around, hogging 3 sets of dumbells by the preacher curl bench, and always has the expression like "You want to fight?" on his face. He brings a towel in and masking tape to tape it around the smith machine bar instead of using the neck pads, and leaves stuff all over the gym.... shirts, towels, juice jugs, tape, gloves, weights, like he owns the joint... That guy peeves me!!!

 

[silver_shadow]

i came across another alpha male the other day. so this kid comes in sporting what was obviously a new (and very large) tattoo on his right delt/top of his arm. needless to say, he thought he was the shit, walking around with a swagger. anyway, first he had some bench (first flat and then incline) with pull down super set thing going on. i just hate it when some dick pisses around everything in the gym (aka super set). so anyway, just as i was going to tell him to quit fucking around and just leave the bench alone if he wanted to pull downs, another bench became free. ok, so i've finished benching and onwards to deads. so i've finished a few sets, i'm standing in front of the bar about to start a set while i stretch my arms out to the sides and that asshole walks right in to my right arm like "hey get outta my way". i just hate the whole alpha male thing going on at gyms just because the guy just got a new tattoo ... it especially bugs me when the dude can see that my warmup weight is about his max... actually, it's always that kind of guy who has issues with someone who is much larger and stronger.

 

[young_gunz]

well i have these golfer/only work bicep, guys at my gym that piss me off. I mean i dont come in there struting around like im the baddest motherf*cker in there, but damn give someone credit for how hard they work!! I think it cause im 20 and stronger then them at 38 and 17-20%bf!!

Theres a guy at the gym who is known as "Mr. Ball Blowdryer". My guy friends have all seen him doing it, and alot of people joke about it. He gets done w/ his workout, takes a shower. Then goes over to the sink, puts one leg up & BLOW DRIES HIS BALLS!!! People are walking by trying not to look at him and he's talking to them like nothing is going on. He blowdries them completly for like 10 minutes. Then he comes out and is mackin on all the girls whenever he can.
Once he tried chatting with me and it took everything in me not to say, "hey arnt you the ball blowdryer guy!". Just shave your damn balls already (at home please) and stop with the public pube grooming!

 

[TylerT]

The gym I go to has 16 treadmills. M-F, if you come in after 3pm, you will be waiting in line to get to one. So I always go right at 2:30. There is an old guy, that never fails to get there 5 minutes after 3. He walks behind every single treadmill, and looks to see how many minutes the person has been on. We are not supposed to be on the treadmills for longer than 30 minutes. They even have little stickers that say that. I'm fat, I'm guessing around 63.4% bf, and I do 45 minute incline walks. I've seen him go get a manager before to get somebody off that had exceeded the limit. And if nobody has exceeded the limit, he finds the one that's closest to the limit, gets a metal folding chair and sanitary wipes, and parks himself right behind them. When I see him, I always hit the 'cool down' button, then it only shows the cool down time. Then I just punch the incline and speed back up.

[rick_hfh]

Tylert your post reminds me of a guy affectionately named puddles.This is going to be a long one so bare with me. He has been know to taddle on 30 min rule breakers. Even though there are a few open treadmills he has to have his 1 stationary bike. He is a prefessor at the college I attend and frequents the cardio room daily. He is about 55-60, very thin arms and legs but has a huge pot belly. And most students think he is very odd.

So my first encounter with him was about an hour before the gym closed at night. His favorite bike is placed right in front of a tv that has cnn. We were the only ones in the room. So I make my way to the back of the room to the elliptical machines. I hop on and tune my radio to the tv setting and jog away.

After a while I noticed a gigantic puddle of water around his bike. I just figured that his water bottle tipped over. Wrong, I noticed it was dripping from his shirt, from his arms, everywhere. I was so disgusted I went out to tell the attendant what the hell was going on. They told me that his name was puddles. They give him a towel, and tell him that he should clean up after himself but never does. He says that it is the janitors job.

I talked to a friend that works at the gym about it later that week. She told me that he will come in between classes with a white tshirt on and sweat his ass of between classes. Then he will change shirts before class and leave his sweaty shirt on the coat rack in the hall to dry for his cardio session after class. One day I was heading to the gym for some HIIT and he is walking out of the gym. He was wearing some nice kakhis and a button up shirt with a tie. As he turns in the opposite direction to head to his class I notice a huge sweat stain on the back of his pants. He had done some cardio and didn't change his underwear. F*cking gross. As I head into the gym, sure enough there was his sweaty white tshirt drenched in sweat. I couldn't make this stuff up.

He is a friendly guy but very peculier. My friend was talking to him about his long cardio sessions. He was on a hardcore diet of chicken breast and veggies. He takes in 1000 cals a day and burns 2000 a day on the bike. I don't know what he thinks he is doing.

He is very well educated and has been tenured for about 20 years. From what I understand he has published quit a bit early on in his career. So he is making plenty of money. His wife is known to go to his office to use his computer and phone. Like they don't have one at home. WTF? I have seen them on tons of occassions watching the tv in the student center, as if they can't afford a TV. I don't know if his wife spends all of their cash while he is doing cardio but they are weird.

These guys are unbelievable. Same dudes who floss their ass cracks with the gym's towels. I want to puke every time I see people wiping their faces with the gym's towels because I can imagine how many miles of old, nasty, sweaty ass that towel has flossed.

Seriously, at about 3 feet per ass floss stroke, you're looking at about 60 feet of ass per ass floss session. That could add up in a hurry.

Then when they're done ruining the towels they put the leg up and blowdry their nutsacks. Unbelievable.

Muhaaaa I can't believe you actually need to blow dry your balls?!? Why not shave... then all you have to do is shine them up??? Buffing doesn't take 10 minutes.

Anyway... So I was on a tread yesterday and I was doing my usual 5 min. warm-up before my weights. Well the girl just kept looking at me while she was running beside me. I was thinking o.k. she either is fascinated by something on me, lesbo, or I dunno... So next thing you know she trips her face slams into the monitor thingey and she grabs the handles, saves her butt, and continues running. I just looked at her like Napolean Dynamite (Idiot) and she did not look at me any more. I think it's funny when people are more interested in competing against my numbers on the cardio equipment and they have no idea that I'm not there for a race? I'm in the FB zone on purpose. Needless to say maybe they would get a clue if they could see what their sloppy butt look like: two pigs stuffed into their pants having a huge fight as they bounce up and down. O.k... Lack of sleep over here, and food deprivation... not a very nice girl today

i replied "i'm interested only in strength" and he had this blank expression on his face when i told him this.

 

[xblitz44x]

silver you really should start shaping your muscles. I'm suprised you didn't know that. That PT sounds like an extremely knowlegable source just trying to give you some sound advice. Plus, what's so great about strength anyway?
