The 'New Year Crowd' Has Arrived!

I will try to get a pic of the tank…

Oh, and if you couldn’t guess, he likes to take it in the ass.

Well I could be wrong, he may like to give it to other guys in the ass…He’s one of ones who feels the need to show off his homosexuality by the way he dresses and talks. I have no problem with someone being gay, but there’s no need to act like a sissy. There’s guys in my gym that are gay and act completely manly and you would never know they are gay, and then there’s him and this other guy who wears shorts shorter than cheerleaders.

Nothing, it’s all you have to do to get mega hyooge and get some sweeet guns.

Wow, I haven’t had to look up a word for a long time. Thanks. BTW, I just found this sweet rack-like piece of equipment at my gym to do awesome curls in although some jackass was using it to do some dumb sit down and stand back up with a barbell on your back exercise. What a douche bag.

There’s a couple morons at my YMCA. Lately I’ve seen them sitting on the benches talking for a good half an hour at a time. Other times I see them do maybe 5 curls, talk for 20 minutes, do some more curls and leave. They take up so much room which makes it even worse.

I feel like a newbie everytime i walk into a gym. I travel for business and have worked out 3 different gyms this week. I always try to respect the gym and its “regulars”. I use the squat rack for what it was intended. I am not up to big boy weights, yet. But I do ATG front squats. I watch the people who look like they know what they are doing and the people my newbieness knows are the people described above. I use that time to compare what I have read on this site to how it relates to lifting, and hopefully become a better lifter. Hopefully I will graduate from “newbie”( what comes after newbie?) Thanks for listening.

Okay, I wasn’t going to bust his balls, but since you brought up penultimate again, I thought I’d point out that it means “second to last.” It does not mean “super-ultimate” or anything like that.

If you use proper form, know how to use the equipment, follow a program, and don’t annoy others in the gym, you are NOT a newbie, even if it’s your first trip to that particular gym. :slight_smile:

Bewbies.

Comin’ your way, two by two.

Just come back from my Gym after a total downer of a work out. Leg day - my favorite (seeing the most strength gains on squats at the moment so every leg day is awesome for me right now).

My gym has only 1 squat rack so I am used to queuing up behind people or working in. Today two doofs were chilling the fuck out on the rack (they were benching so I couldn’t work in with em, and they had told me they “wouldn’t be long” when I asked after a few mins).

So, upshot is I ended up standing there like a prick for nearly 20 mins (next time I will just go do dumbell squats or something) ran out of time and had a crap work out.

I know this is get a life but as I have had a shit day today, should I get in there tomorrow morning and blast my legs again or do I leave it for a couple of days? [/quote]

I’d hit legs again definitely. I was suppose to do a heavy chest workout 2 days ago. Was in a hurry so I did incline DB press only. So I will hit chest again heavy today with arms.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe he meant quintessential.

Our “freeweight weight room” is in the basement of a very old bulding…it is cold and dirty…the equipment is mostly older…and most people are scared to go down there. But it is huge and has tons of iron…very uncrowded…the people here would love it.

So yesterday two fitness trainers and a herd of 15 “resolutionists” decided to hold court downstairs in this room. The two trainers (neither of whom lift) had the noobs spread out with dumbbells (we are talking nothing over 20 lbs) and do all sorts of bodyweight exercises and dumbbell stuff on the floor of this room. Both squat racks, the power rack, and numerous pieces of vital equipment became home to TOWELS, WATER BOTTLES, SWEATSHIRTS, CELL PHONES, HAIR BANDS…just crap and people everywhere. Worst “resolutionist” experience I have had.

But I did get a chuckle when I heard…“are you done with the tens”.

No it isn’t.

I saw a kid yesterday doing some weird twisting movement with a 35lb plate on a barbell. He had his back rounded and referred to them as “virtual shovels.” I was very confused until I Googled it and saw it was a Crossfit thing.

I think I will stay away from virtual shovels…

(don’t want to catch the ghey)

It’s cause they wanted to get shredded, but not too big.

On a side note, how can you be a trainer and not lift?
