For the new years resolution lifters to overtake your gym?
or the “i got a gym pass for christmas” newbies?
I hope I can keep them out of my garage.
My gf is coming up to visit for the first week of january so I’ll miss the hardcore, lyrcra-wearing resolution lifters, and then I suspect it’ll take a week or two to find a new gym when I move to singapore so I might miss the worst of it… thank god!

with the memory of January’s gone by.
I cant wait…specially like doing overhead squats with something relatively small(I usually stick about 100 pounds) then have the newbs snicker at how little weight I’m using only to come try it and fall over
My gym is already full of idiots. I may very well be one of them, too.

x2. Man, I dunno how I always manage to forget about this. Maybe since this thread was started I’ll be more prepared this time around.
See this is why I go to the gym late at night I miss most of the humans and the one’s I do see I just growl at and they leave me alone
Yea. the weightroom where i lift immediatly fills up. at least they all hangout by the preacher curl station, or the gravitron

Ditto.
Minus the growling part 
The Smith Machine and ellipticals will be full. Damn, where the hell will I lift?
if a single new year’s resolution lifter comes in my room, i will throw them out my 3rd story window myself. even just one. but then again, i have no treadmill…so i dunno what they’d be coming for. no pink dumbbells either.
There will be a lot at my gym but most if not all will be on the cardio equipment or the machines.
this thread ruined my good mood
Sigh. I have no one to blame but myself, but I have been out of the gym for a couple of months now. I’ve beaten myself up over it enough and I know what I need to do, but circumstances will likely keep me away for at least another week. Whereupon I will inadvertently become almost indistinguishable from every other “my goal is to…” patron.
But, I’ve never been one to let other people bother me in the gym.
Yall are looking at it all wrong. Their club dues for the membership they don’t use, pays for my new equipment. Hell, we just got a bunch of new plates.
Fat people need exercise too, but they have got to pay extra.
My heart secretly rejoices when I run into people from the past that look terribly out of shape now. I don’t laugh though, just smile a bit.
Ahhh, how fabulous we all once were…
Ughhhh…The Resolutionaries! Year after year, like a bad bowel movement after a hefty night of pounding cheap beer, they come back, expecting Stan McQuay results just from doing 2 sets of EZ bar curls. Not to mention the room they take up with their towels, bags, and gym gear.
The inconsiderate “rest” times they use to occupy a bench, and the squat rack (where they curl of course!), and let’s not forget their laughably awful repetition form. 9 out of 10 WILL FAIL. That’s a gurantee. By Valentine’s Day all will be normal again.
The bottom line: Just make your way around them, improvise a little for the squat rack exercises (or just bully the shit out of them so you don’t have to) and just bear with them for a month. They won’t be here long, that’s a promise!
