So I was at the gym last weekend taking my squat opener and while I was finishing up with my accessory work, I witnessed The Squat Rack Curl.

This guy comes in and just by the way he walks into the gym, you can tell he means business.

He’s wearing his tight American Eagle tshirt that says “We Found Them–The Weapons of Mass Destruction” with arrows pointing to his arms. His hair is styled and he smells like soap/deodorant/cologne or something.

After chatting with his buddies for a little, he heads over to one of the racks. He throws on a plate and starts curling. Desecrating one of our sacred squat racks. He then finishes up and goes back to coaching the guys that were benching, but not touching their chests.

Next time he comes in, I’m going to have to show Chuck V the right way. The T-Nation way.

Yes, I witnessed this yesterday in my gym, and had to laugh out loud. I was doing deadlifts and the dude was right next to me curling away in the only squat rack in my Gold’s. I didn’t even know this was a no-no until getting on these forums, but I still wouldn’t have done this in the only freakin’ squat rack in the place.

Dude… Did you even read the last sentence of her post ? [/quote]

Ummmm… yep.

I love the people that will do lateral raises 1 foot in front of the DB rack.

I like to do this when I have gas. Our db racks are right in front of the benches.

I hate it when people puff up their chests and glare at you from across the gym, or try to catch your eye and stare, like you are playing football and staring across the line at each other.

I don’t know if I make them feel inferior and challenged or if the elevated test levels just have people acting more aggressively or what but it happens maybe a few times a month.

As if I’m going to just start talking shit and throw down right there in the gym because some dude eye challenges me. “Fuck you asshole, it’s go time! I see you glaring!”

Super gay.

Or they intentionally widen their arms to bump you as you walk past each other. If it wasn’t technically assault, it would be fun to tackle these people, pinch their noses and tickle them.

If they are with a girl, I like to catch her eye and smile though.

Well, the other day I saw someone doing WRIST curls in the squat rack.

I cried.

No, I do not. I suppose you want to tell me that as a result, I don’t have the right to post a response regarding the rest of the post?

Ah, that explains… No, I’m not saying anything about your right to respond… Just that you apparently didn’t see the sarcasm in her post.

Making sense now?

Sorry, man, it’s easy to misinterpret what people say and get defensive… OK, Chuck VogelPohl, got it; thanks for the link.

No problem.

Seeing pretty boys in the gym isn’t so odd.

I’m an artist, and not a big guy, but I’m usually the most muscular guy in the art supply store at any given moment I’m there. But a few years ago this huge dude (well over 6’, 230+) with a GQ face comes walking in to buy art supplies.

He looked SO out of place compared to the usual emaciated goth “look at me, I’m a tortured artist” customers. But I figured this guy was probably going to art school just to get chicks… or maybe dudes. lol

Lol I’m loving that goth quote

I bet that one of them is going to see this and will end up writing a poem about the agony of it :smiley:

Yeah, no sh*t, that’s half the reason I signed up here: perceived inferiority is a great motivator. If you just go to your local Gold’s, you might get content being relatively buff, but some of the monsters here give something to aim for.

You’re a feisty little hamster aren’t you?

:stuck_out_tongue:

(Ok, that is going to sound a little strange to people who don’t follow the BOI thread…)

I think it’d sound a little strange to people anyone … regardless if they follow the BOI or not …
