I guess I’m fortunate that I workout at a gym in Korea (I live in Korea). While I speak a bit of the language, my language ability is nowhere near good enough to eavesdrop on people, even if I want to. This means that I don’t understand what people are talking about in the gym!

Vegita, dude if you think those “shoes” are cool you probably also own a fanny pack, striped spandex, sport a ponytail, watch TV with a snuggy, drive a Miata whiling drinking Zima.[/quote]
I fucking love zima asshole! Fany packs are versatile and can be used for holding a small amount of tackle while fishing a stream. Striped spandex, hell I’m not even going to explain that one to you, if you don’t get that, you are just an ignoramus. The ponytail is the origional warrior hairstyle, when men started fighting with swords and stuff the hair kept getting in thier way, the first badass who ponytailed it so he could more effectively gut his opponents would not be happy with you mocking his hairstyle of death! Freeballing in a snuggie is one of the best experiences I have had. You know how fast you can get to the junk if your woman wants to give you an impromptu blowjob? All in all I would say your hate of things cool and awsome runs deep, perhaps you didn’t get to play with legos or nintendos as a child, I have no idea.

I was in fucking tears. Awesome.
Two dudes eyeball fucking me while I’m doing zercher squats.
Dude 1, “I bet that shit hurts your arms.”
Dude 2, “Yeah, thats not a good work out for your bi’s”
They were absolutely correct, but for all the wrong reasons.
I was bench pressing and had my feet kinda like this ( http://coachrouse.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/bench-press.jpg ) well a little closer together.
So while I was bench pressing a trainer comes to me and tells me that this is bad for my knees and I should put my feet on the bench.
I just ignored her and finished my set. She walked away and didn’t say anything to me again…
Trainer to skinny thirtysomething male client:
“…but don’t eat too much protein because the body will store it as fat.”
No elaboration was given beyond that statement.
My brother works at the gym and was talking to some guy lifting (looked about 20 years old) - the guy starts telling my brother about the “supplements” he was taking, casually he says:
“I take, you know, creatine, protein…dianabol…”

This was at work rather than the gym but I’ve had a couple of people ask me if I “take those protein shakes”.
Yeah you gotta be careful with those protein shakes, they’re what makes you hoooge and gives you heart attacks…

I had a whole arguement with a short fat fucker at my work on a similar topic after receiving a delivery of whey. Apparently as soon as i stop training any muscle gained from consuming it is going to turn straight into fat.
The science behind this knowledge bomb? He took steroids for his asthma as a child which caused massive weight gain…eh?

I work out at home so my 4 year old daughter provides all the humor I need:
One day I was doing weighted dips - “Daddy, it looks like you have a big black penis”
A different day loading up a bar for squats - “Daddy, I don’t think you’re strong enough to lift that.”
One time I look over at her and she is doing shrugs with little DB’s I bought for her. I ask her “Where did you learn how to do shrugs?” (I don’t do them so it wasn’t from me)
She says, “They’re not called shrugs. They’re called ‘I don’t knows’. Because when you are walking somewhere and someone asks you where something is you say ‘I don’t know’ and move your arms like this (makes shrugging motion). So they’re called I don’t knows.”
Someday I will post pictures of when she decides to use chalk. Planet fitness would toss her in a second.[/quote]
Greggio you had me cracking up at work. Only because I understand what memories you are having with your kid right now. Sometimes they do stuff that is too funny to beleive. Enjoy it now while you can! That by far was the funniest post I’ve read today. Cheers!
BTW-your post made me join so that I could comment…Now Im sucked into the wormhole

There is no escaping once you get sucked in.

while moving in to a new house last year my new housemate seen my protein and said ‘oh that stuffs really bad for you’, no follow up evidence, nothing. I added his name to my idiot list and later that evening he went drinking (cos thats very healthy) after cleaning a cooking pot with floor cleaner and putting it back in the cubboard with some of the floor cleaner still in it!!

So, he took steroids for asthma and never decided to find out that most steroids AREN’T anabolic steroids? Wow.
Not overheard in the gym, but another priceless YouTube comment on a shirted bench video of mine:
“Comment on your video: 200 lb bench great job. Why are you arching your back so much though? Personally it’s easier for me to keep my feet on the bench with a flat back.”

LOL!
I can’t even be bothered arguing with my older brother about this stuff anymore, cause he’s older and much wiser obviously…which is why he thinks that:
“he doesn’t need to train legs because he does a lot of running”
“he can loose weight (AKA fat…but he doesn’t care whether it’s muscle too) while eating 4 big curry ‘take aways’ every week at night”
“he can flatten his stomach despite drinking heavy almost every night”
Then of course, he tells me and my younger brother (training partner) that we’re getting too big now. He suspects that it’s “those protein powders” (since obviously, you can’t get big without something suspicious and “drug like”) and proceeds to tell us that there’s no point in getting any bigger because it’s not healthy (despite being lean)…meanwhile, I smile to myself while looking at his beer belly 
I just have to be that ‘dumb’ younger brother who has to look up to his ‘big’ older brother LOL

I’m presently in Kabul, Afghanistan. Went to the ‘TMC’ to get my shoulder checked out. Thought I was on bad path towards rotator injury…luckily, just strained it…
After my check up, the PA/Doc (A full bird Colonel) asked if I took protein shakes and creatine.
Yes
You shouldn’t take creatine. that stuff can kill you. I had two troops die this summer because they took creatine.
Yes sir. Thank you.
can I have my pain meds now?

Did they forget to drink water?
That reminds me:
One guy (16 years old), who’s trying to put on weight, told my wife at work that he didn’t realise that you had to take creatine with liquid! There he was stuffing this dry powder down his throat lol
The funniest part was, he doesn’t even exercise…
That would be my guess…in a desert, 100+ degree heat, full battle rattle and exerting themselves…probably not anywhere near enough water.

Not a problem here in the North of Scotland - yesterday we had to “dance around” the gym (AKA dungy garden garage) just to stop ourselves from getting pneumonia…not to mention the fact that the bar was practically sticking to our hands LOL
If only it were warmer in the winter here in Scotland
