A question for the gym rats here

[TDMVPDPOY]

skinny dudes who do a rep, and then go flex at the mirrors hahahahaha

[1Parker1]

My biggest Pet Peeves at the Gym:

1) People asking me if they can "get in" on my time on a machine. i.e I do a set, they do a set, etc. Just wait your damn turn.

2) People chit-chatting with their friends while holding up a machine.

3) People taking about a 10 minute break between sets on a machine. There are other people you know...

4) Guys thinking it's ok to hit on girls at the gym...please do not flex your muscles at me, please do not try to give me some lame pick up line on how much you can bench press...most girls don't want to get hit on while they are all sweaty at a smelly gym

5) The terrible, annoying songs they always seem to play on the loudspeakers.

6) The fact that despite the fact that I already pay them $35 a month, if I want to take any of the "good" gym classes; i.e Pilates, Yoga, etc I have to pay an additional $5 per class. WTF, I'm already paying you!


There's a lot more things that piss me off about the gym, hence the reason I cancelled my membership and invested in a treadmill and some free weights. Ahhh the comforts of working out at home in peace and quite.

[1Parker1]

When I go to the gym I ignore everyone. I go in, do my thing, and get out. If someone is on the stuff I want, I move to something else. If people are hanging out, checking people out, dressing for success, whatever, I don't notice. Basically I don't care about anyone in there but the Chopper, therefore I have no peeves with anyone there. They could all be engaged in a giant circlejerk and I wouldn't notice or care.

I don't look at you...I don't talk to you...I don't care. I do my workout and get my ass out the door.

That's cuz you're a guy!

Oh I forgot to tell you guys my best gym story: So I have this Spurs-Tshirt that I wore the gym sometimes...how about I actually got BOOED by a group of guys at the gym when I wore it one time!

Damn Philadelphians! Of course, I wore my Sixers-Tshirt the next day

Or tell them Malik Rose is from Philly

people who stare
people who take 30 mins per machine/equipment
fat people working abs (you gotta burn off the fat before you can even see abs!!!)

I don't get the thought process behind getting mad at fat people trying to work their abs. Or doing anything else in the gym, for that matter. I would imagine it takes a lot of courage for someone who's overweight to go and work out in public, and at least they're doing something about it.

if you knew anything, working your abs while being a fatass is pointless. it's like eating cake and trying to lose. well maybe not but you get the point. if youre fat, you have to burn the fat, do some damn cardio, not crunches.

Now I am guilty of number 2. Especially if I'm lifting heavy that day.
But you gotta remember, most of those oveweight people don't know. They are just like alot of us when we started. I give them an E for effort at least.

Word to that. I applaud those overweight people who are actually trying to make a difference. Unfortunately the gym's don't have some kind of knowledge program to teach to their clients.

Yeah really. There is actually alot of stuff I learned from just watching the in shape people around the gym with there routines and stuff. There was this one guy struggling to get like one pull-up out. I guess he thought I was going to laugh at him or something, he was like "man I know I look like and idiot"I said man who the heck cares? You are here trying and that is the important thing. I told him to keep at it and he will eventually be able to knock them out. They are still a struggle for me and I go to the gym damn near everyday. I know they are going to be really hard when I can finally get back to lifting again.

I decided to start doing steroids.

I decided to start doing steroids.

In all seriousness I know for sure that there are alot of dudes at my gym who take some kind of hormone pills. There were these one set of brothers there who were blobs when I first started. Man these boys got freakin ripped beyond imagination in like 2 months.

[tlongII]

I'm serious. I've got a bottle of dexamethasone pills.

Ummm...the abdominal muscles support the core and the lower back, a big problem area for overweight people ... and muscle strength in that area is extremely important, even moreso than those not carrying around much extra weight.

And muscle is essential for burning fat, and you can't develop muscle unless you work them.

Wow. Seriously.

Don't listen to him, its just Norcal being Norcal. He can't help being a .

fat guys that have a bigger rack than Jessica Simpson who walk around and pose in the mirrors like they are muscular sons.

[ATRAIN]

I do hate when someone works in with you and they don't do the courtesy adjustment especially when you do it for the first. This happens on cables and Hammer Strengths all the time.

You know, I've been posting on this site for about two years now. It's entertaining as , and it helps pass the time on those slow days at work. In those two years, I've seen a lot of smart people, dumb people, random people, funny people etc post on this site. Having said that, hands down, without a doubt, the dumbest I've seen on here aside from everything Tpark posts, is adding "son" or "sons" to every single post.

It's not funny, it's not annoying, it's not cute, it just comes off really ing dumb.
