I don’t know where this would fit in, but one day I had my bands set up on the bench getting ready for my speed work when this random guy actually took them off and starting stretching with them. The good thing about it though it popped him in the face. It pissed me off for one they were my damn bands, 2 they were doubled on the bench so it wasnt like they were just laying around and 3 it just pissed me off.

And how the hell are they supposed to cease being fat chicks if they don’t go to the gym?

Bulimia, anorexia, they have a lot of options to choose from.
My twin sister died of anorexia you insensitive bastard… I tried to give her pizza to mouth resuscitation but she was gone.[/quote]
That was a good one, I love to do that to people, when they say something that normally would be offensive and I pretend someone close to me died from it or like I have retarded brother or something- and when they’re all shocked and begin to apologize go, “I was just fucking with you”.
future dave… what gym…i’m close to santa monica, I’m gonna go power clean and then stand in the mirror and flex and see if I can get some milf to pay for my college education in exchange for hours and hours of headbanging sexual experiences.
I guess this qualifies as some sort of etiquette at the corporate level. Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls just want to have fun” is NOT appropriate music to work out to. The canned musak at the La Fitness I work out is horrible. I don’t need freakin’ heavy metal, but Cyndi Lauper?! I noticed the music as I was waiting for some weasel to finish his MIGHTY 135 shrugs in the Power Rack.(not two 45’s, two 35’s and 10’s) Damnit.

This one is new. While I’m all for women going into the free weight area they need to use some freakin common sense. Two women decide to “run the rack” so they take 2 sets of each of the 5, 8, 10,12,15, 20,& 25lb dumbells. Okay, fine. However the 25’s were to anchor their feet under as they did curl-presses. After 10 minutes of conversation and 3 sets…they just get up and walk off. That’s it…just up and away. I grabbed their attention in the mirror and asked if they were done. They said “yeah why?”
Me: “Are you going to put those away?”
Them: “Your a big boy…”
Me: “?..How bout I throw these at you. This way you never set foot back in here and make a mess.”
Them: They go and get the manager because I’ve threatened them and they no longer feel safe and threatened to cancel their membership.
Manager: “Hey did youuuuhmmmphg ahhhh…%$#@! god $&^%#…WHO THE…WHY ARE ALL THESE DB’s ALL OVER THE FLOOR? IF YOU GUYS CAN’T KEEP YOUR AREA…”
ME: “Those women created this mess and I offered to throw it at them so they wouldn’t come back here.”
Manager: “(smiles) Thank you…excuse me ladies…can I have a word with you after you put these weights away”
Not the best approach but it’s the one I chose at the time. Just crazy. The other is the “understanding” that leaving a bar with 45’s is okay. I mean it’s only 135lbs…if you got that far take it off. The bar doesn’t need weight to keep it from floating off anywhere…Sheeesh[/quote]
HAHA! Joe Gold said it best. “Rack your weight or it’s your head I’ll crack.” (I got this from a Muscle and Fitness, sad but true)

Xen… any gym in SoCal. More recently, I’m thinking of Powerhouse in West LA where this girl with what’s gotta be 38DDDs shows up with her trainer boyfriend and wears these little tiny tops with nothing underneath. Seriously increases T levels though!
Also, now and then we get girls in from the strip clubs around there. Or the gold diggers who are banging people in the entertainment biz in exchange for BMWs/whatever.
Which brings me to a thought. If a girl is at the gym, with no bra on, and her nipples are poking through her top, WTF? Is she begging for attention or enjoying tormenting people or oblivious or what?
I’m thinking about joining Golds. Ever work out there?
Ummm…this is a rank one, but if you’re a 50-ish woman getting on the elliptical or treadmill, and you actually do manage to work up a sweat, remember, “A Sprinkle A Day Keeps The Odor Away…” I was doing my HIIT cardio a few mornings ago and damned odor of bad tuna actually forced me off the machine early. I fought it for as long as I could, but got nauseous and almost gagged. Inside 15-20 minutes, this clueless wheezebag managed to clear an area of @ 7 feet in radius on the machines around her. I brought it up to the management, but they just shrugged and looked embarrassed. One trainer later told me I wasn’t the only, or first, member who broached this ummm ‘topic’ about about her ‘fragrant’ condition. I know both men and women can build up a real funk, and I make an effort not to offend by using Right Guard, but this was wrong…wrong…WRONG. You should’ve seen the looks on the faces of the hardcore bodybuilders when she went over after cardio and plopped her smelly ass in the middle of their lifting session with her 5 lb dumbells…PRICELESS. What were they gonna do, kick Aunt Harriet’s ass???
