Today at my gym a group of 3 16-17 year old looking guys came in with fitted g-unit wife beaters and affliction hats. None of them weighed over 130, and while slightly lean, none were even remotely impressive, looking more like grown up 8 year olds than kids lifting. They immediately strut over to a bench press that some fat guy who was a regular (and actually had made very good progress given his original size) had left his towel on and unloaded half the weight and started grunt benching the absurd weight of 95 lbs to failure (which was around 9 reps ZOMFG HUGE).

When the fat guy came back from getting his drink, he politely asked if he could work back in, explaining that he had left his towel there. The H-core crew simply stared at him, and than words were exchanged and the fat guy walked away looking flustered after they denied him access. Keep in mind that while well over 300 pounds, the fat guy had actually made great progress in the past year losing what I estimate to be probably close to 80 plds and adding some muscle, and was about twice as old as the punks.

As the fat guy was walking away, you can clearly see two of the brahs making boob symbols with their hands, and laughing at pointing at his back, and even let out questionably loud giggles, capturing the attention of around everyone in a 20 foot radius of them. Having decided I hated them from the start, I walk over to them and forcibly asked them,n a tone that implied I was going to anyway, if I can work in. The tools looked stunned as, just a few minutes earlier they saw me repping 225 for sets 4x8 on the incline. Not waiting for a response I immediately start curling the bar in the bench rack, all while staring at them continuously. As I slowely called out each number, I made sure to make it look like I was excreting as little effort as possible, and after 18 reps (twice the number of the strongest guyā€™s bench) I slam the bar down on the rack and look at them and said as straight faced as I could, ā€œthanks, Iā€™m going for a light warm-up today, but donā€™t worry you can probably be as big as me in a few years, I wasenā€™t nearly as big as you when I was 13ā€. By this time a few of the older and bigger lifters had taken notice and one guy was openly laughing at them. Red faced they sulked away in which I sarcastically asked them, ā€œwhere you going shortstopā€. I watched their car leave out the window 5 minutes later.[/quote]

For some reason what you did reminded me of that college humor video posted around here about how to end an awkward workplace conversation fastā€¦ lemme see if I can find it.

I wanted to see if she really could dead lift me per her threat, Iā€™m like 270ā€¦ Double body weight is a pretty good lift. Well, Iā€™m stuck at 1.5. No work log in recent postsā€¦ All uh, ā€œlifestyleā€ relatedā€¦[/quote]

you people are taking me way too seriously. and i didnt know this crap fest was going on in this thread while i havenā€™t been watching. but it doesnt matter. if iā€™ve hurt your feelings in any way, iā€™m sorry.

Yeah, I will usually slowly (but loudly) unload my belt, chalk, wrist wraps, etc. - as much shit as I can reasonably unload, really - in their mirror line of sight right next to the cage. They always finish up quickly. Sometimes I pull a bar over and start warming up with it right behind them. :)[/quote]

I like this, I wish people at my gym could figure it out.

People in my gym like to train in between the power racks (Theyā€™re probably about 5 feet apart, a little more than shoulder width between the ends of the bars). On Friday, while Iā€™m squatting, I had a guy sitting on a box throwing a medicine ball to his buddy doing sit ups on a decline bench. I just add weight to the bar, without saying anything, they get the hint and move. But then some fucker comes and starts doing lateral raises. I just keep doing my thing, anytime I go to add weight to the bar, or start a set, heā€™ll stop mid-set, wait 'til Iā€™m done, then finish his set. Repeats this for 3-4 sets. Stupid peopleā€¦

Not sure about this one, maybe Iā€™m just ignorant: Is deadlifting with the bar in between your legs an actual exercise?

Nope, bar loaded on both ends, from the floor. Torso pointed over one leg, with one arm in front of the body, and one behind

30-something douchey looking guy, working out in cut off sleeves tee and wearing a backwards cap, asks me if im done with the power rack. I was doing hang cleans and was actually done, i get to taking off my weight and once im down to 135 on the bar he asks to leave it on, i say ok then walk away. Get a drink and look up for this bastards to start, his first rep send him flying backwards, hits the metal column of the power rack and eats glorious shit. I piss myself laughing at him and he decides to leave, idk but i guess that was his finisher?

A goofy kid (well likely 20 or so) kept dropping the 35s (Cliche, I know, but it happens) after incline db press and he broke one.
Fucker.

Of course Iā€™ve considered it but itā€™s a fairly large space with high ceilings. Iā€™d say I could easily fit 3 cars in my garage and it has two garage doors at opposite sides of the building. Itā€™s not yet fully insulated and has no interior walls. The roof is likewise uninsulated and itā€™s a metal roof. Iā€™ve always wondered what value a space heater would offer in such a large uninsulated space. But believe me, I think of it EVERY winter. I think of it even more after this winter after experiencing how quick a space heater helps heat up the large club where I work weekends (the kind of heater that looks like a fighter jet engine). I just need to get off my ass and take on the project; insulate, dry wall and install a wall unit heater. Once I do that, itā€™s nothing to cut out an opening for an AC unit. If I donā€™t do it by next winter, I promise youā€¦space heater it will be. I canā€™t do another winterā€¦I promise LOL. This past winter had me thinkingā€¦gasp, join a commercial gym.

The proper response wouldā€™ve been ā€œIā€™m the fucking bodyguard, and space heaters are for pussies that canā€™t take a little rough weather. Bitch.ā€[/quote]

LOL tru tru. But damn itā€™s been cold!!!

This one time, this douchey looking guy was doing hanging cleans in the power rack. Faggoty fag couldnā€™t deadlift 135 off the ground. Bastard. Idk guess he thought he was so badass he should make an account to brag about it.
