My gym has a co-ed whirlpool. I use it after doing legs. Twice I have been in there with a very nice 30 something housewife who is probably 100’ overweight. She’s asked me for training advice both times, followed my advice after the first time, and seems sincerely committed to getting in shape. I like her, and people like her and only want to encourage them.
But today there were three annoying fat-asses in there that just about got on my last nerve, B.S.-ing about how it was bad for you to work out too hard, “I just work on the machines, 1 set on each one for about 12 repetitions, without pushing myself too hard, about 3 times a week, because that’s all you need.” And how anybody else that was below 20% bf had to have an abnormal metabolism and be able to eat whatever they wanted, and could train hard and recover in a couple of hours, and a lot more of that crap.
Fat people that dont know anything about training and think they do, are so freaking annoying. I think you should tell those fat asses how to train correctly next time you see them, before they die of a heart attack.

I got out before I said something I regretted.

I think we need to start a “Vent your Spleen” style thread where people can write this sort of stuff in. This sort of thread is becoming far too common.
In these circumstances simply just say “Well it’s obviously working for you.”
I think for the most part that they aren’t stupid. I think they’re just in denial. Maybe if they lie to themselves long enough they actually believe it to be true. I’m not sure what you would call it at that point.
You sir, are a genius. May I use this one as well? I am being sincere.
To the OP: Fat people who are happy being fat, are fine with me. It’s the fuckers who constantly complain and yet do nothing - except come up with excuses - who piss me off.

See I like to just say at an audible level “It’s not just a river in Egypt is it?”
Invariably people ask “what did you say?”
So you say it again “I said it’s not just a river in Egypt is it?”

It’s yours to use. Just make sure you reference it when used in text. (Beast, 2007.)
I think with the people in question it pays to be a little condescending.[/quote]
…and is of course DEEPLY satisfying to see their chins gently swing in unison (enertia from excuse-perfecting) as they realise what you have just said.
