Same Old Story - Different Day

I know you're frustrated. But that was one funny-ass post. And then Hannibal had to come in with the Neon sign. Funnneee.

Why is chalk bad at the gym? Is it a cleaning issue?

 

[natural-mike]

I could never figure that one out.

In my opinion chalk is f*cking safe, it solidifies your grip.

Chalk makes things safer...what the f*ck???

They dont like the chalk because it gets their floor dirty, and then they would have to do just a tiny little bit of work to clean it up. Stuff like that happens to me every day. They get mad because I lower a deadlift too hard or set some dumbells down too hard. It's not my fault they are too cheap to buy some rubber mats. They need to quit buying 500 different types of cardio machines and buy some mats and stuff. They also get pissed when I use chalk. I would love to have my own gym. Unfortunately, I live in dorm room that is 8' x 12' and on the 8th floor. So, no home gym for me.

Also, I can't wait to see their reaction when I start bringing in a box, bands, and chains.

HA HA..looks like I laugh last.

Every guy in the gym is sucking my d*ck asking about the bands. 2 guys bought some already (mini's) which I thought was a positive until I saw them curling with the bands and not doing any power or speed movements.

And every girl is on my dills (which is not necessarily bad) because I showed a bunch of them some abdominal movements with bands which demolished their abs.

Some bodybuilder guy came up to me the other day after I was doing heavy close grip board presses. He said to me "no offense but I am bigger and more muscular than you, and I can't lift the weight your using," I explained to him that I was stronger than him because I trained for strength, not for the beach, not for the girls, and not for the mirror (like he was training). He just didn't get it. He seemed distraught and just walked away, luckily I didn;t tell him I was using close grip for tri's and even worse I was doing sets of 5. He also asked about the boards..but lets face it...I'm tired of explaining the boards and the bands.

I guess when your a kid you learn about the Birds and the Bees and when your a powerlifter you learn about the Boards and the Bands.

Go figure.

Again, just sensless rambling here people.

"no offense but I am bigger and more muscular than you, and I can't lift the weight your using,"

Funny he would actually point that out to you. What kind of point was he trying to make, exactly?

 

[natural-mike]

Exactly.

My first impression of this guy was.."your a dick for saying something like that"


Its like me walking up to Allen Iverson and saying "no offense but I'm taller than you, how are you better than me at basketball"

But then after careful thought, I realized...the guy is a bodybuilder , I mean what do you really expect from him?

i joined a new gym about 8 weeks out from a bb show. after i paid them cash for a 3 month membership, i got home and they called and told me i was too "hard core" for their gym!!! im a female that weighed probably 120lbs at the time! i asked the girl behind the counter for a low carb protien bar, and she asked me what a "carb" was!!!!! the shit you put up with for having abs!!!!!
POD

 

[makedah]

They called you to tell you this? Why?

They called you to tell you this? Why?

cuz all the men that work there have one-inch penis syndrome and all the women are skinny fat
