People at Your Gym

Off Topic

There was a guy at the gym today wearing knee high socks with golf shorts and a golf shirt.

Problem is, all he was doing was READING. He sat on the end of a flat bench and read his book for a while. Then he got up and sat on an incline bench and read some more.

He never even picked up a single dumbell. He changed benches three times over half an hour, each time just sitting there reading.

Finally, he went over to the cable station, put his book on the floor, did one set of tricep pushdowns, picked up his book and left.

the ultimate transformation guy

17-19 years old, blond hair.
When he started training, he was wearing thick glasses, he a mid-long hair, wore blank white-t and a casual pair of short. When I first saw him he was doing drop set with 85 lbs on the bench press. Seemed like a typical intellectual kind of a guy maybe

Now 2 months after I see him again,he had his head his shaved, did not wear glass anymore, wears camo army short, a tank-top and a pair of sunglasses. Newly found badass attitude
Still bench 85 lbs[/quote]

My favourite so far i think.

Team Benchcurl

I’m pretty sure they did not invent this exercise, but they perfected it.
One does, what, with a lot of phantasy seems, to be a benchpress while the other one curls the same bar up. Together they move 130 pounds for up to 4 reps.

I cannot say I have lived until I have seen this at least onc in my life!

there is a ROM guy at my gym. loads up 18 plates on the leg press and moves it off the pegs for reps. my forearms are bigger than his thigh. he wears spandex everyday and tanktops. he goes back and forth to all these different exercises and doesnt do a single thing right, but then comes and tells me about this other man who cheats a little on pull ups that its not right.
i talk politics so he leaves me alone.

I use the gym we have at work. Pretty decently outfitted, except for the TV. I’d like to take that TV and flush it down the fuckin’ commode. You get these guys in there that turn on ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ and sit on the recumbent bike. The only thing missing is a bag of Dorito’s.

My new tactic is to get there right after work and turn on the stereo, playing something loud and offensive. Slayer, Mudvayne, Sepultura… something along those lines. It has been keeping those types away, and they are learning not to come to the gym from 3 to 4 PM on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Two weeks without someone turning on the TV now. It’s just like training a dog.

There’s a trainer in my gym who is probably the biggest guy I’ve seen there, and there are a lot of big and strong guys at my gym. However, I only ever see him training skinny-fat women. He flirts with them while having them do light dumbbell work and cardio. It’s ironic because he’s probably the most impressive physique in the gym and his clients are the worst.

Its called the “fabio effect”. You get that in the dive industry as well , when you have instructors and trainer with qualifications pouring out of their ears but only to meet /flirt and offer shitty training to women.

Whatever it’s called, it’s certainly amusing to watch.

The “Abs” Guy

There is an older black gentleman that uses the decline bench for sit ups. Every single day. And it’s pretty much the only exercise he does.

My gym buds and I joke that he’s looking to get “Tyrese” abs haha

Ha, that’s half the fun.

Only awesome people in my gym (besides myself maybe :D). Was deadlifting today and this dude wanted to work in. I saw him go up to 420, probably went higher. Oh, and the other day the gym’s owner (who I’m prertty sure you’ve heard of) was barbell rowing 400 pounds for reps :slight_smile:

377

johnny jerkoff. Guy who believes he’s bad ass because all he does is olympic lifts… with the worst form you’ve ever seen. You can hear his kneecaps shattering when he clean & jerks.

When told not to use chalk when benching said it was essential or the weight would just slip out of his hands. Fair point, if he wasn’t benching 120lbs.

Thinks he owns the place and makes noises like he’s jerking off once completing a personal best.

378

The people at my gym (as in any gym) can basically be split in two groups: those who making progress any those who are not.

379

All my old friends from high school who think the golds is a high school gym. A side from the constant AB checks in the mirror they talk a lot about the latest chick they slept with and the rest of the time they work the three most important muscles on the body Biceps, Triceps and pecks.

These are the only muscles that the ladies care about. And hawt abz, of course. Working out any other muscle on the human body is a waste of time. These are the same guys that stare at me like I’m crazy for squatting every workout and using full ROM on chins and dips. I’ll give them this though - most of them have bigger arms than me.
