Plus, judging by the outline of his pecs through the sweater and his legs being lean but not too small, it seems like this guy knows his body well enough and how it grows.
The only complaint I would have is the slamming of uncollared metal plates after the set, aside from that, live and let live.

Thanks man…
I do tend to slam the weights a bit.
How you guys didn’t recognize the bundy troll is beyond me…

While I was training back yesterday a guy felt the need to come up to me and tell me he had a cousin who could dumbell row twice what I was doing (weight irrelevant)? I smiled and just kept rowing…[/quote]
Surprisingly similar to what happened to me today:
Me: Doing 3 rep breathing squats
Him: I’ve seen better,
Me: Me too,
awkward silence, I stare at him, he gets flustered and walks out of the gym

That’s funny shit man, couldn’t stop laughing imagining staring at the asshole til he left.
SOOOO TODAY at the gym, I observed a Ugandan at one of the Heavy bags set up in the middle of the gym…Now correct me if I’m wrong, because I don’t know a THING about fighting… but.
He was standing in front of the bag(his back towards it) and viciously thrusting his ass into the bag. Repetitively…over and over… I don’t think this is a UFC move. WTFFF???[/quote]

Okay so this happened outside of the gym whilst I was talking with some co-workers of mine…But I think it still belongs in here…
coworker:(to me) what are all those supplements you have(pointing at my vitamins)
me:they’re vitamins
coworker: which ones of them are to “get big”
me: none
coworker: what are they for
me: immune system support, liver cleanser, pituitary gland cleanser, ligament support, adrenal gland…etc etc.
coworker: shit I don’t need any of that
me: …
coworker: what about to get big, don’t you take “cell mass” or something, what about muscle milk.
me: I take whey protein and i mix in an Omega Fatty Acids oil blend.
coworker: gross wtf is that.
another coworker: makes vomiting sounds
me…
coworker: so I don’t know what to do, I’ve stopped gaining weight. fucking protein doesn’t work anymore.
me:…Why don’t you eat more food.
coworker: uhg.
Every time I started to say something informative, or intellectual about nutrition and/or supplemenation he pretty much shrugged and grunted.
This is why not only do I not go to the gym with these people, but I don’t eat with them, or speak to them about anything involving bodybuilding[/quote]
I had a similar convo with this guy at my gym who hasn’t made ANY progress in the year I’ve been going to this gym … give up on giving logical scientific advice to jabronies … you’ll be less annoyed; trust me

so this dude at my gym struts around thinking he’s the shit, kinda like a real life version of an internet warrior.
he did oldschool t-bar rows the other day and frankly his form reminded me of the vid of that Colombian christian death metal dude who had a vid of his “transformation”… i sneakily filmed a bit of the t-bar humping horror
have you ever seen such bar humping? what a masshole massengill tanker.[/quote]
You’ve got to be a real fuckin loser to go digging up a member of this site’s youtube video and go post in a thread like this. Seriously, you’ve got a pathetic life.
the village/gym idiot come up to my 15 years old brother, start talking about the growth hormone he takes and how it makes him jacked (he is not, he doesnt know how to train, never had a clue and he will never know because he is dumb) and tells my brother (after seeing him squat a grand) if he takes some (no) and that he should in that case
Same session, He gives unsollicited (bad) advice to EVERYONE in the gym. Every single one.
After this in the locker room he start rubing some suspicious cream all over his body
Not really about a person but was visiting my dad in another area of Florida and went to the Planet Fitness there. Wow. Now I know what you’ll are complaining about - there weren’t any barbells. If I was a black card member and it was free I would’ve made do with the machines and dumbbells for the weekend but since I’m a regular member and have to pay a reduced day rate ($5) I demanded a refund upon discovering the had no barbells or squat racks and went elsewhere. Guess my Planet Fitness really is the exception…

I don’t know how they decide which PF’s get barbells and which don’t. I’ve been to 2 in NJ. One had barbells, benches and dumbells over 100. The other no barbells and dumbells only go up to 60. They’re both relatively new so I don’t get it.
I don’t know with two in one city. I’m sure my dad’s area is in general an older demographic but I still think they could have at least 1 regular bench and squat rack. I have no clue why two in the same city would differ. Maybe its just Owner’s preference? I wonder for anyone who owns or works in a gym if insurance costs goes significantly up when heavier free weights and barbells are present compared to the same gym with less weight.
Regardless it was shitty to find out. I went to Anytime Fitness instead for the day which was a bit quiet and sterile for my tastes but did have anything and everything imaginable.
I swear these douche bags are multiplying with the warm weather we have been having, enjoy.
Overheard a couple of kids at the USF GYM today
Skinny guy 1: Hey bro you doin biceps today?
Skinny guy 2: Yeah bro imma hit em up after I do my tri’s
Skinny guy 1: Ok bro, call me over when you hit the bi’s, im just doing bi’s today
Skinny guy 2: Ok bro, but its kinda dumb to just do bi’s, personally I like to hit the tri’s then the bi’s
Skinny guy 1: Im going to hit my tris really hard tomorrow, so I don’t wanna tear em up today
Yes, this really did happen, meanwhile skinny guy two had legs the size of my arms, which aint saying a whole lot. I wanted to tell him, “You know the secret to big guns BRO? STOP DOING FUCKING CURLS AND GET YOUR SCRAWNY ASS IN THE SQUAT RACK!” But im sure he would have just looked at me like I had a dick growing out of my forehead.

Hungry/Polo- See this is why I keep to myself on this subject, and whenever they’re talking “gym stuff” I go into my room and close my door because I’m not going to waste my breath. However, on that particular day, my door was open, and they came TO ME legitimately asking ME for advice, so, I offered my knowledge. However, I should have just told him to switch to NO Xplode. I’m sure that suggestion would have sufficed in said scenario.

the proper response is “Eat more carrots” and if they ask why tell them that’s what the Governator told Zac Braff … end of story
I was doing step ups on a bench yesterday, and about halfway through my set I see on of the gym admin come walking towards me. So I look away hoping he won’t try to talk to me, but when he gets there he starts saying something. So, I put the dumbbells down on the bench. Apparently he was saying “Don’t put the dumbbells on the bench”, because then proceeded to lecture me about damaging the upholstery. I felt rather annoyed, so I (politely) asked him not to interrupt people during their sets. I was annoyed because prior to being interrupted during my set I hadn’t actually ever put the dumbbells on the bench.
