HA…you’re funny…I slam the weights once and now I’m a tool. Now I suddenly have this horrible attitude. Get over yourself. Oh and ill probably accomplish more in life than you will.

I’m officially dejected, knowing that I can’t compete with you.

You won’t accomplish anything if you are always fighting authority, i.e. saying to your boss, “Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it?” or getting pissed off and arguing with your supervisor when they tell you you’re not doing your job adequately (the towel bin is repeatedly overflowing on your shift and the floors are excessively dusty).

If you want to get anywhere in life, start respecting authority and quit blaming everyone else for your shortcomings. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the fingers are always pointing at you? I’ve seen dozens of people over the years with attitudes like yours.

Guess what they usually end up doing - bouncing around from job to job as 50-year old health-club towel boys. So, carry-on, internet tough-guy and keep us apprised of your successes so I can be inspired to try to keep up with you.

You’re coming off as quite the internet bad ass yourself, DB.[/quote]

I’m just telling it the way it looks from the few posts of this guy that I’ve seen. His first thread was a rant about getting a complaint from his boss about his work. His second thread was a rant about getting told not to slam/drop the weights and he makes a dismissive remark and walks away. Am I the only person that sees a bad attitude on this kid? I think someone should keep his head down and try not to be a lightning rod for criticism? I have no problem telling a hard-head that he’s a hard-head, over the web or in person. If that makes me an internet tough-guy, then so be it.

And BroLac, I may be a lot of things, but pissed at life is not even on the radar, amigo.

Doesn’t Pyrros Dimas drop weights after he is done?

I agree with you there. This sh!t pisses me off.

I find it funny how people tend to find their own faults in other people.

Is it getting hot in here?

I see it, but its more than likely internet gusto. If he really acts that way, then as you said. He’ll be bouncing around jobs when he’s 50 still blaming other people. In which case (it still doesn’t matter to me, but) he’ll get whats his.

I’m way to shy to grunt.

I hear Planet Fitness has a free all you can eat pizza night can’t be all that bad :slight_smile:

So they are as expert on nutrition as they are on weight training, eh?..

Obviously, all you can eat= get your dirty bulk on. I think the membership is 10 bucks a month if there was one around me I might sign up just for free pizza night, I bet I could set off the lunk alarm just by eating all you can eat pizza there. I would wear a over sized NFL jersey with the sleeves cut off and a bandanna I would wear a Valeo weightlifting belt loosely around to prevent a back injury will eating pizza.

I would grab AT LEAST two boxes right from the start and if anyone asked me to work in or share I would say “stop trying to hold me down I am lurking!” I would also make caveman like sounds while chewing and belch really loud.
When throwing away my boxes I would drop them from full height onto the floor because when you eat as much as I do sometimes you just can’t gently put it in the trash! It’s called max effort for a reason bitches!

I remember reading on their site that they have jelly bellys for all members at the front desk and sometimes they serve bagels in the morning lol I’ll try to find the link[/quote]

Fucking top knotch post man. I was “laughing out loud” for like 10 minutes after reading that. Honestly though, I have thought about signing up for the membership and then just walking out with a two or three boxes. 10 dollars for 3 large pizzas? Can’t beat that.

47

Fact is that first post was not to be focused on my job but how people complain about even the smallest things like dust regardless of if i was working or not. And this post was about slamming weights yet somehow what i said to someone who i have personal problems with over shadowed it

I have a strong feeling that he was using bumper plates on an Olympic platform. If that’s what the OP was doing then not much of a problem. But regular plates on the ground=no no.

Solution to your problem:

1.) Get into a real gym.
2.) Deadlift more than that.

The first one will go a long way towards accomplishing the second goal.

50

Here are some things I can think of that are just plain manly:

  1. Call your mother every Saturday (came from T-Nation article)

  2. Dropping a Barbell loaded with BUMPER PLATES

  3. Making your face go Crayola red by doing deadlifts

  4. Racking your weights

  5. Only dropping normal weights if you are in eminent danger.

I had to look up the Lunk Alarm. This is pathetic.[/quote]

Wow, it’s a literal alarm on the wall… I’m glad they put up a proper English dictionary definition to clarify exactly what “lunk” is. However, they appear to list it as a ‘noun’ on the definition, when a ‘lunk’ is clearly a verb in this context.

Also, and heading in slightly different direction, if I owned my own gym and had paid for the equipment inside, I would have very little patience for 95% of the weight dropping that I see occur, most commonly by people that have no place or need, to be dropping weights.

Aren’t you the guy that started a thread about not wanting to do your job with towels at the gym? If you are I have to agree w/ DB about your attitude.

So how much “noise” does it take to set off said Lunk Alarm? And what happens, do you get a warning first or do they just kick you out?

I’ve been trying for months and haven’t been able to do it, but I think my place in an anomaly. I dropped a 200 pound jerk onto bare floor and even that wasn’t enough.[/quote]

I landed on my head.

funniest thing I’ve heard in weeks… must of been laughing in my dorm room for about 5 minutes lol

55

I lift in a university gym and there is this one personal trainer who is always getting on to me and my lifting partner. We aren’t really doing anything bad, just things like letting the weights hit the ground kind of hard (they’re heavy damnit), and not reracking the weights immediately after we’re done (cause I’m going to use them again damnit).

Anyway, my friend dropped a couple of dumbells one day to quickly come spot me while I decline benched. Long story short the guy likes to come up with nicknames for people when he talks to them (big guy, pal, etc.) and now my friend is known as “hey superman.”

I told him he should have tied his towel around his neck after that, but of course that great idea didn’t hit me until the next day. Oh well.

Dude, wrong approach. Come up with a nickname for him. Something cute. Something you called a girl you fucked. Something like princess, or daisy, just be creative. If he asks why you call him that. Tell him its fitting.
