Setting the Lunk Alarm Off in Alabama

You could always go in and say you’re looking for an aerobic workout :wink:

I’d say something baggy, maybe with a towel around your waist to fill you out there a bit for the illusion of being a fatty.

Or, you could really just straight out lie and say you’ve been told by your doctor you have to lose weight cause of your high blood pressure, want to change the way you’re training, and have been advised that this gym is a really good place for healthy training? (all for the purpose of a day pass of course)

OR you could go in, WITH THE CAMERA, and say you are studying somewhere local and have to film an exercise technique for the purpose of a project???

I’m leaning towards the doctor, hypertension, changing way I train idea. Then you really freak them out by going in and deadlifting straight away!!!

This is the most amazing thread of ever!

That should do it. And I still love the idea of asking them how many of their trainers it will take to carry you out.
Snarl alot. Be as big an asshole as possible, but do it in a way that lets everyone in there know that they’re being had. Try to make it like one of those anoying “truth” commercials, complete with asterisks.
And grab all the free swag you can on the way out.

…this is gonna be good…

Make a holiday out of it. Once a year, everyone sets it off.

Love this thread! Eagerly awaiting commencement of Operation Planet Fucktard Mayhem. Seriously guys, you need to come up with a good code name. Mine sucks so…

update?

Come on now… we are all waiting for the results to be delivered.

After you set the alarm off you should tell them you want a cardio workout and make them chase you through the gym. That would be hilarious. Also, if possible you need multiple non-suspecting people recording this.

This could be a historical event…

Your face is going to be the biggest giveaway. Fat people have fat faces. I wouldn’t go overboard with trying to make yourself look fat; Your face will give you away. Sweatpants and a baggy sweatshirt or longsleeve t-shirt should conceal you muscle pretty well.

Could always walk in eating a donut.

Another good idea might be to warm up ahead of time so you can just instantly set up 4 or 5 plates on deadlift.

Tell them 4 plates is your warm up

This 24HF: Lunk Heads need not apply at Planet Fitness - YouTube is located about 1/4mi from my house. Lol, this is where the guy got arrested squatting/grunting.

I think he comes to my gym now.

About 3yrs ago I went to one with my brother in-law and got ‘talked to’ twice b/c of my grunting.

It would be funny to do this same thing to the one near me.

maybe we can all set up a massive attack on 24hf on one day. lol

…but it’s not. And that’s a good way to get hurt.

Good idea warming up on the DL beforehand.

I know. I am saying warm up before, then loudly tell everyone at the gym that 405 is your warmup

Another angle you could take is to go in, lift heavy without causing a scene, grunting or dropping the weights. Then after people start staring at you for the heavy weights, calmly go up to the front desk and in an intimidated voice point out some of the people who have been staring at you and say you feel like they are judging you and it is making you uncomfortable.

This needs to be turned into an actual T-Nation article after this is all said and done. One of the friday ones at least haha.

hahaha, i’ll try to put all my creative writing skills to the test.

sorry to keep you guys waiting, i’ve just been busy as SHIT.

promise to get on it asap.

Absolutely amazing.

I reallllly want to be a part of this somehow…
