Ive never seen this one until I joined this new gym. This guy is a teacher, he takes the flat bench loads the bar does a set then empties his gym bag on the bench and starts grading papers and creating notes for the next days lecture. About 20 mins later takes everything off the bench does another set, puts everything back on and goes back to grading. The next day he will be there using the same bench as his desk but instead of bench he does a set of upright rows every 20 mins.
The tiny hispanic (maybe honduran?) guy that wears a sleeveless hoodie. I call him “lil’ man hate” in my head because of his stone-faced expression. The old guys who do endless pec flys on the machine and talk together a lot-“the creepus brothers.”
I bet I have a stupid nickname at my gym because I’m the only one who maxes the machines and I wear all black because it helps me mentally. But if could choose a nickname, it would be “wears an underarmor shirt that actually fucking fits” guy.

I’d call you the Grim Reaper because you max every machine and wear all black
“Honorary Lesbian” – a very small, thin, middle-aged black man with a muscle shirt that says “Honorary Lesbian.” I don’t know what that means, but he’s also the only man I’ve ever seen benching 85 lbs, so I guess it’s semi-accurate.
ive got a couple more
the “im gonna do it guys”- work out at the same time every day so i know most everyone in the free weight section at that time. We all spot eachother and help with form if need be, but most of us are pretty serious. Then there is the occasional high school kid who comes in the morning for about a week then you never see them again because they decide its too early. Theyre gonna do it for a week then get back to sleeping in until 2 pm.
“my bis are soooooo jacked” this is a kid ive been seeing for a couple weeks now. No matter what body part he is working, legs, shoulders, etc. in between sets he manages to stare at his biceps in the mirror the whole time. Today he was rubbing them and caressing them, i was waiting for him to start making out with his biceps. The thing is they are maybe 12". but theyre soooo jacked it doesnt matter.

Does that mean he displays the sensitivity that a woman does when he makes love(IE-oral favors)? Maybe they were handing them out a pride rally? Weird.

The Chick Doing The Waterbury Thing: One Pull, one push, one squat variation, performed in a circuit. Sometimes if I have time (please) I’ll pick different moves and do a second circuit of pulls, push’s, and squats. I’m, evidently, claustrophobic, because the only time you see me is when the place is nearly empty (except that one time it wasn’t and I looked REALLY agitated). I’m the chick dragging around her notebook and big fat copy of Huge in a Hurry. Could probably get spectacular results with a cleaner diet and some one-on-one guidance…

#1 JOSH MCMILLAN- he pulls 600+ off a deficit and walks away like it wasnt nothin
#2 Clint Ewald- squatted 925 parallel in the gym, and made it look pretty easy
#3 Dirk DeBoer- not as strong as Josh or Clint, but still real close, and 5 years the elder. also has a 6 pack for bein 255 and can do a shit ton of pullups for a “fat powerlifter”. does a 2 hour bench workout, then goes and does 2-2 1/2 hours of auxilarry work. Took me under his wing and really showed me the ropes
#4 Steve- About 45 years old, never really worked out in his life, got into PL’ing, holds 4 state records in USAPL.
#5 Colter Furst- working his way up to Americas strongest man, barely made the cut in his last competition, hes 22, and very underweight, but strong as an ox
The owner, his wife, and the rest of the crew, also are going places. Matt Smith is one step away from being inthe national ranks. His wife is there, and, the 2 guys that are older, are really coming along too.
so yeah, my gym kicks your gyms ass!!![/quote]

Pretty sure some advocacy group or another gives them out. My (middle-aged, black, quite well-built, marathon-running) city councilman has a plaque declaring he’s an “Honorary Lesbian.”

Homeless guy who comes into gym to use the tanning beds. Because you gotta look good when you live on the street.
I shit you not, he came into our gym last night.
Oh yeah, had the homeless guy at an old gym, too. He paid his 12 bucks a month and parked his wreck of a camper out front. He used the gym to shower, watch tv and talk with the racquet ball players who were out front by the tv. Pretty smart move actually.[/quote]
At least he is practical. I should have thought of that before I signed my lease at my new place.
This guy comes in for some tanning, then it’s back out in front of the donut shop looking for change.
Okay, that makes more sense. (A well-built councilman, though? We don’t have those where I come from!) Seems odd, though. I’d think advocacy groups would want to avoid the perception that you have to BE a lesbian (or “honorary lesbian,” practically a lesbian) to be on their side-- normally I hear “ally” instead.
Here’s more!
Corey Hart fan: I wear my sunglasses at the gym.
Polo Guy: Workout in a polo shirt with white (sometime black) socks to the knees in sandals.
“Lateral jumping jack side raise old guy”: self explanatory. I’m still waiting to see him fly out of the gym, hey you never know.
jumping jack Big Boobies blonde girl in a tank top… :)>!<

I would swear that I went to the same gym as you, except I didnt wear my socks to my knees and wore sandals… just the polo.
I pretty much always forget to bring my gym stuff, so I come to the gym in my polo’s sometimes.
I think I’m the coffee kid: Always drinking out of that coffee cup, and, is that little hollister fag and, he only uses barbells and cables for his workouts who thinks he’s soooo tough for being 200 pounds but only benches 225 pounds LMFAO
It’s a sad fact, I can’t help it, when your friends always tell you how jacked you are, you can’t help but feel like your actually jacked when your really not.
Hey CCJDilla chill out! It’s all in good fun here 
Old freaky homosexual guy: Some guy around 45 years old that always stares at me while I am doing my workouts. Doesn’t say anything, just stares. Staring back to make him aware I am noticing him staring doesn’t do anything, he just stares. When he happens to be in the locker room at the same time as me he will always wait for me to change before he leaves. And just stares of course… Just stares…
