People at Your Gym

This is more so geared towards the locker room. What about “Mr. I have to stay naked as long as humanly fucking possible in the locker room guy”. He’ll shower, shave, dry his hair, brush his teeth, so on and so forth. To top it off he is usually in his fifties, at least, and resembles a wildebeest.[/quote]

LOL. I once had a Mr. Naked sit down on the bench in the locker room to clip his toenails. I shit you not. What prevented him form performing his naked personal grooming at home, I don’t know. I almost hurled.

Thank God I don’t go to that gym anymore.

It’s ok I’m used to people bad mouthing DragonForce. By the way, you guys that take small sips of water are sissies. When I was about 8 my brother would beat my brains out in basketball and then when I would say I was going in for water he would say, “Only sissies drink water.”

The vultures - aka senior citizens. Don’t get up from the seated calf machine because the vultures will be all over your shit in a matter of seconds.

Vietnam Vet - shows up in tan combat boots, no laces. Olive green sweat pants tucked in to the boots. Jean jacket with the sleeves removed. Some type of bandanna. This guy is awesome.

the vietnam vet mad me lol. I bet he’s pretty tough.

The teenage supplement guru - this 16 year old walks around and asks everyone if they use N.O. Xplode. He then goes on to tell them that they should, and they can get it at GNC, and that since he’s started using it he got jack (sometimes he’ll felx his 12" gunz to show you just how jacked he is). He usually then asks what supplements you use, and then tells you that “yeah I tried that and it didn’t do shit for me”.

Made me think of this

I go to a Gold’s in Austin.

There’s a guy who will do behind-the-back forearm curls, standing on a bosu ball.

Then there are the gaggles of women who do smith machine squats standing on the bosu ball.

I think I get the greater urge to slap the latter…

If I had to classify myself I’d be “Dude who lip syncs while between sets and paces around a lot between sets and looks angry”

The most badass mother fucker on this here planet- The 75 year old retired Lieutenant Colonel of the United States Army, most shredded man in the entire gym, kicking ass each and every day. [/quote]

Sounds like the member Old Navy. I think he has a training log here still.

Why would you go to these gyms? How much progress have you people made in these gyms? Maybe these gyms are cheap but I would think about finding a real gym it may cost more but you will get more out of it. You need to surround yourself with people better then you not jackasses.

The Bro - (Idk if these exist anywhere outside of southern CA, and I rather hope they don’t.) The tough guy wearing the gay “Tapout” shirt, or the sleeveless “skin” jersey. Usually wearing hat or bandana so low, that you can’t see his eyebrows. Knows nothing about weightlifting, or form, and even less about diet. Thinks he’s badass because he can bench 205 for 4 reps. Apparently has no knowledge of the lower body, as legs are chicken-like in nature, and never move any more than their massive 135lb frame. In his mind, he is the toughest, most badass person alive.(this is a whole collective, not just a single douche)
[/quote]

Ya, what is with all the kids wearing tapout and skin? People try so hard to look like badasses with clothing and style. If you want to look like a badass, why not educate yourself on training and diet, acquire some dedication and work ethic, then apply it all to your goals.

THEN wear some clothing that says “I’m a badass”.

Wait a second… I’m That person.

Mr Overload - The guy who overloads the bar so much he bungees another 45lb plate then proceeds to do 1/4 deads with horriable form. One day Im waiting for his knee cap to blow out and hit the mirror or shit out his pancreas.

Snakes - The bastards who know your using the rack or something else and as soon as you move to say A2 they snag said equipment.

The Im going to get ripped in a month - Had this guy tell me he was goin to get ripped in a month. I laughed my ass off when he said this. I told him cant and wont happen (he is a tubby guy) His response was well Ive been doing 2 a days. So doesnt matter you could lift for 24hrs a day and still not accomplish it. Well a month later I saw him still the same size walked up to him poked his belly said weres your six pack and laughed.

The old know it all - The old guy who does the same thing for months and years on end who wont take any advice from anyone because he is old and knows everything.

Ok so Im not ripping on anyone just pointing out some humor at the gym. Well except mr im going to get ripped in a month I just cant stand the guy and get the urge to stab him when he talks to me. I dont know why lol.

Haha that’s me! I am “annoys the 20 somethings in their tapout gear shirts” By just going about my training and ignoring them. Then because i am 40 something guy with 20 something body, as soon as i leave a station these clowns run over , increase the weight and struggle to do 2 reps.(if that) The fact that i am not incredibly strong or imposing makes it even funnier. Funnier still some of them to the same BJJ place i do as well. Thankfully they avoid me there. Wearing the gear does not give you respect in there, ability and professionalism do. Maybe they will learn one day. Oh, and there are lots of cougars in my gym. Not that i’m complaining

Now that everyone has described the other people, who are you?[/quote]

The mid forties guy who gets weird looks for pushing his truck around parking lots and wandering around with a slosh pipe. The rest of the time I’m in my home gym, so the only people watching me call me dad.

The guy who plays basketball while his 10ish y/o daughter runs around the weight room.

Other than that no one else really goes, haha.

there used to be a group exercise class at my old gym.

except… it was located directly next to the men’s locker room.

i remember one day maybe 5 of us just standing in front of their session staring in. good times, i kinda miss that gym.

That’s me too. I also tend to stare off into space in between sets and while running. I try not to look angry but in reality i’m sure i do.
