Thanks, but no way I’m posting any of those stories here as some people have gone full Spock mode and seem to be providing excuses for stuff they didn’t see.

Like if I tell the story about the woman than dances and hops on the treadmill and pushes the buttons so that they beep along with the gym’s music they’d just say that maybe she’s training for Dance Dance Revolution or something.[/quote]

Its more about you being average and making fun of people who are average. Its like when youre with a chick who is a 7 and she sees a 6.5 then proceeds to talk shit about her…

thats you.[/quote]

Damn Ct you in a bad mood?
Have you seen Nards videos?[/quote]

Im good

Yea Ive seen the vids and have been opposed to them from the beginning.

If Nards is so advanced in this gym shit why isnt he helping them rather than being a mouthbreathing voyeur?

I talk a lot of shit but Id never talk or look down on someone with the only intent of humiliating them. Yea Ive laughed at people lifting but best believe I made attempts at making sure they understood what they were doing is wrong and how to fix it.

Its completely classless to do otherwise.

I think you’re missing the point of Nards’ vids. He lives in a different world. Some of the antics he has filmed are not the sort of behaviour you can fix with a few words of advice.

Some of the stuff, like the girl dancing on the treadmill, flys in the face of common sense. If he told her to use the treadmill properly I doubt her response would be positive. She knows how to use the treadmill properly otherwise she wouldn’t be able to dance around like she does. She does it that way because she wants to.

[/quote]

I say that girl has more fun, uses more muscles and burns more calories than 99,7 % of all other people that use that treadmill.

I did not see that clip as Nards making fun of anyone, more like a moment of Zen that he wanted to share.

And, make no mistake, that girls knows more about the art of being in the moment than any one of us.

Also, would smash.

I hear what you’re saying, Rock. I appreciate and agree with the sentiment behind it, but Nards isn’t some assless facehole that hides in anonymity. He puts himself out there and isn’t the vindictive type.

His squat rack curl vid put it all in perspective. The cardinal sin of gyms around the world is probably CT-level innovation in the eyes of his fellow gym-goers.

Since when does doing something because you want to do it, in a manner that isn’t harming anyone at all, require “fixing”? Who’s to say what is and isn’t the correct way to use the treadmill? Why do we work out in the first place? Pretty much every reason boils down to a simple sentiment: we want to be happy/happier.

Looks and sounds to me like this crazed Flip is pretty happy doing what she does on the treadmill, so what’s the problem? She isn’t conforming to whatever outlandish standards you’ve set for everyone, including people on the other side of the Equator and in a different hemisphere?

She may know how to use the treadmill and this may be her choice to use it in the weird manner that she does, but I for one applaud her and her eccentricities. It’s about time people started going into the gym and started having some fun with their workouts. I can’t imagine that whatever rain dance she’s performing on that treadmill doesn’t have SOME sort of cardio aspect to it that benefits her. So what’s the problem?[/quote]

Have you seen the video? Did you read Rock’s post as well as my response before you replied? Thought not.[/quote]

I’ve seen the video, and many like it. I did not read Rock’s post or your response since I was typing up my post when yours and his were posted. What does anything that either of you said have to do with my post?

[/quote]

How did you come to directly respond to my post then? You hopefully read my response because it’s quoted directly above your reply.

I like DB’s thoughts on sharing our own ridiculousness/ gym fails. I went for a long time not working out my shoulders, because I thought they were ‘strong enough’. Guess how that worked out for me. Tore a shoulder. Then the other. Now I workout my shoulders at least twice a week, and they’ve never been healthier. Also used to be one of those guys that did bench presses and squats about halfway down with too much weight, 18 variations of curls a couple days a week… you get the idea. If I think of a more specific funny moment in my lifting career, I’ll definitely post it.

I thought you were talking about the after the post above.

Again, what is your point? You specifically referred to “antics” that need to be fixed, and then directly referred to the woman dancing on the treadmill. What about her behavior needs to be “fixed”? And let’s get right down to the gist of things here. What makes you think you are the person to decide what behavior in the gym is broken and needs fixing in the first place.

I’ve seen the video and it looks like some of the strangest shit I’ve ever seen in the gym. But so what? And really, who are you or anyone else to tell her to use it properly as long as she isn’t a danger to those around her, which she didn’t appear to be? What is the proper use of a treadmill? To run in place on the fucking thing so that each stride uses only your quads and lets the belt pull your leg back, thereby removing a ton of stimulation to the hamstring, which opens oneself up to all sorts of ACL-related injuries?

How about sharing some of the things that scare you/make you cringe at the gym? Like when people slam the bar on their chest while benching (smashing their sternum one rep at a time)

The scariest shit I’ve ever seen at the gym is some jerk coyly pulling his cellphone out and proceeding to film some other jerk performing what looked like about 90% of the lifter’s 1rm for squats on a BOSU ball, and then laughing about it and posting it on here instead of advising the guy that 1) it’s totally unsafe to do that and 2) it doesn’t actually increase your balance or really do anything for you at all that regular squats doesn’t, except put you in prime position to suffer a horrific compound fracture of your tibia.

also he’s a mouthbreather whose eyes are close together

Since you all seem to be experts at deciphering the resoning behind the weird things people do at the gym…please explain this.

No, I fucking well didn’t say that…If you dispense with the creative writing for a moment and read my reponses to Rock’s comments, you will see that I was not passing judgement on anybody’s gym behaviour and you will see my point: I was defending Nards and his clips - no more, no less.

It’s cool though. You have a following and I don’t, so people are are going to side with what you say no matter what. No wonder egos get so inflated around here.

I have a “following” on here? Really? I wasn’t aware that I had a fan club and every time I turn around I don’t see anyone following me. And believe me, my ego was hyper-inflated long before I’d ever even heard of this site.

"Some of the antics he has filmed are not the sort of behaviour you can fix with a few words of advice.

Some of the stuff, like the girl dancing on the treadmill, flys in the face of common sense. If he told her to use the treadmill properly I doubt her response would be positive. She knows how to use the treadmill properly otherwise she wouldn’t be able to dance around like she does. She does it that way because she wants to."

Those are your words. Are you telling me that you didn’t mean any of that? Because I fail to see how the above quote is not you passing judgment on others. What would you call “use the treadmill properly”? What about “She does it that way because she wants to”? Or, my personal favorite, “…not the sort of behavior you can fix with a few words of advice”? That isn’t you judging her behavior? That’s you supporting something that Nards said?

Oh, I get it now. You speak some long-forgotten version of English that I’m unfamiliar with where words have entirely different meanings than they do in the more common version of English that the rest of the Western world has been speaking for centuries now. I believe it’s known by its original name, I Don’t Have The Slightest Concept of Reading Comprehensionlish.

Look, first of all not everyone here sides with everything I have to say. It may happen frequently, but only because I am frequently right and/or because when people disagree with me I do a pretty damn good job of explaining my reasoning behind why I feel the way I do and why I feel they are wrong. But believe me, NOT everyone on here agrees with me. Obviously you haven’t read the MLB thread. I wouldn’t be sporting this stupid fucking avatar if everyone in THERE agreed with me.

So I ask you for a third time: what about her behavior needs fixing? What about her use of the treadmill is really that improper compared to how other people use it? What is wrong with her using it the way she wants to?

I think you’re missing the point of Nards’ vids. He lives in a different world. Some of the antics he has filmed are not the sort of behaviour you can fix with a few words of advice.

Some of the stuff, like the girl dancing on the treadmill, flys in the face of common sense. If he told her to use the treadmill properly I doubt her response would be positive. She knows how to use the treadmill properly otherwise she wouldn’t be able to dance around like she does. She does it that way because she wants to.

I hear what you’re saying, Rock. I appreciate and agree with the sentiment behind it, but Nards isn’t some assless facehole that hides in anonymity. He puts himself out there and isn’t the vindictive type.

Since when does doing something because you want to do it, in a manner that isn’t harming anyone at all, require “fixing”? Who’s to say what is and isn’t the correct way to use the treadmill? Why do we work out in the first place? Pretty much every reason boils down to a simple sentiment: we want to be happy/happier.

Looks and sounds to me like this crazed Flip is pretty happy doing what she does on the treadmill, so what’s the problem? She isn’t conforming to whatever outlandish standards you’ve set for everyone, including people on the other side of the Equator and in a different hemisphere?

She may know how to use the treadmill and this may be her choice to use it in the weird manner that she does, but I for one applaud her and her eccentricities.

I’ve seen the video, and many like it. I did not read Rock’s post or your response since I was typing up my post when yours and his were posted. What does anything that either of you said have to do with my post?

I thought you were talking about the after the post above.

Again, what is your point? You specifically referred to “antics” that need to be fixed, and then directly referred to the woman dancing on the treadmill. What about her behavior needs to be “fixed”?

No, I fucking well didn’t say that…If you dispense with the creative writing for a moment and read my reponses to Rock’s comments, you will see that I was not passing judgement on anybody’s gym behaviour and you will see my point: I was defending Nards and his clips - no more, no less.

I have a “following” on here? Really? I wasn’t aware that I had a fan club and every time I turn around I don’t see anyone following me. And believe me, my ego was hyper-inflated long before I’d ever even heard of this site.

To recap: Count Rockula told Nards to give his fellow gymgoers good advice instead of looking down on them. I told Rock that some people in the gym don’t want to be fixed. That was the point of Nards’ vids. You skimmed over Rock’s posts and called me out for passing judgement on people and asked me three times why I said anybody needed to be “fixed”. Except I never said that - it was Rock.

When you say that some people don’t want to be fixed, the overt implication is that something is broken. What is broken? What does Nards think is broken, if you’re simply trying to guess at what his feelings about the matter are. And if that is NARDS’ point and not yours, why would you not make clear that you don’t feel this person’s use of the treadmill is not broken and does not need to be fixed, instead of blatantly citing it as an example of something that is not fixable with a few words of advice. And when you channel your inner Nards in the future, could you indicate when it is that you are now Nards speaking through Roybot and when it is actually you speaking?

I’m not going after Rock because he corrected/clarified his feelings on the matter, whereas you have apparently spoken in vague, cryptic terms in which you may or may not have channeled Nards’ thoughts on the issue into your own brain. Your “recap” is nothing more than revisionism after the fact. The ONLY thing that is clear here is what you said, which I directly quoted and which was the progenitor of this whole argument.

So, for a fourth time. What is broken that needs to be fixed? And if you feel that what Nards’ allegedly MAY have thought about the matter is wrong, why is the way she used the treadmill NOT broken.

Hi, dont know what the fuck you guys are talking about. DB whats up, Ct Rock, whats up. Roy what up. I just wanted to quote to take up half a page and then ramble something like us old fuckers do. Carry on.

And really roybot, stop patronizing me with this “you can write” and “you have a following on here” bullshit. I KNOW I can write and my paycheck each month confirms this. I don’t need further confirmation from you.

I’m not going after Rock because he corrected/clarified his feelings on the matter, whereas you have apparently spoken in vague, cryptic terms in which you may or may not have channeled Nards’ thoughts on the issue into your own brain. Your “recap” is nothing more than revisionism after the fact. The ONLY thing that is clear here is what you said, which I directly quoted and which was the progenitor of this whole argument.

So, for a fourth time. What is broken that needs to be fixed? And if you feel that what Nards’ allegedly MAY have thought about the matter is wrong, why is the way she used the treadmill NOT broken.

Thanks, but no way I’m posting any of those stories here as some people have gone full Spock mode and seem to be providing excuses for stuff they didn’t see.

Like if I tell the story about the woman than dances and hops on the treadmill and pushes the buttons so that they beep along with the gym’s music they’d just say that maybe she’s training for Dance Dance Revolution or something.[/quote]

Its more about you being average and making fun of people who are average. Its like when youre with a chick who is a 7 and she sees a 6.5 then proceeds to talk shit about her…

thats you.[/quote]

Damn Ct you in a bad mood?
Have you seen Nards videos?[/quote]

Im good

Yea Ive seen the vids and have been opposed to them from the beginning.

If Nards is so advanced in this gym shit why isnt he helping them rather than being a mouthbreathing voyeur?

I talk a lot of shit but Id never talk or look down on someone with the only intent of humiliating them. Yea Ive laughed at people lifting but best believe I made attempts at making sure they understood what they were doing is wrong and how to fix it.

Its completely classless to do otherwise.

[/quote]

I think you’re missing the point of Nards’ vids. He lives in a different world. Some of the antics he has filmed are not the sort of behaviour you can fix with a few words of advice.

Some of the stuff, like the girl dancing on the treadmill, flys in the face of common sense. If he told her to use the treadmill properly I doubt her response would be positive. She knows how to use the treadmill properly otherwise she wouldn’t be able to dance around like she does. She does it that way because she wants to.

I hear what you’re saying, Rock. I appreciate and agree with the sentiment behind it, but Nards isn’t some assless facehole that hides in anonymity. He puts himself out there and isn’t the vindictive type.

His squat rack curl vid put it all in perspective. The cardinal sin of gyms around the world is probably CT-level innovation in the eyes of his fellow gym-goers.

[/quote]

Since when does doing something because you want to do it, in a manner that isn’t harming anyone at all, require “fixing”? Who’s to say what is and isn’t the correct way to use the treadmill? Why do we work out in the first place? Pretty much every reason boils down to a simple sentiment: we want to be happy/happier.

Looks and sounds to me like this crazed Flip is pretty happy doing what she does on the treadmill, so what’s the problem? She isn’t conforming to whatever outlandish standards you’ve set for everyone, including people on the other side of the Equator and in a different hemisphere?

She may know how to use the treadmill and this may be her choice to use it in the weird manner that she does, but I for one applaud her and her eccentricities. It’s about time people started going into the gym and started having some fun with their workouts. I can’t imagine that whatever rain dance she’s performing on that treadmill doesn’t have SOME sort of cardio aspect to it that benefits her. So what’s the problem?[/quote]

Have you seen the video? Did you read Rock’s post as well as my response before you replied? Thought not.[/quote]

I’ve seen the video, and many like it. I did not read Rock’s post or your response since I was typing up my post when yours and his were posted. What does anything that either of you said have to do with my post?

[/quote]

How did you come to directly respond to my post then? You hopefully read my response because it’s quoted directly above your reply. [/quote]

I thought you were talking about the after the post above.

Again, what is your point? You specifically referred to “antics” that need to be fixed, and then directly referred to the woman dancing on the treadmill. What about her behavior needs to be “fixed”? And let’s get right down to the gist of things here. What makes you think you are the person to decide what behavior in the gym is broken and needs fixing in the first place.

[/quote]

No, I fucking well didn’t say that…If you dispense with the creative writing for a moment and read my reponses to Rock’s comments, you will see that I was not passing judgement on anybody’s gym behaviour and you will see my point: I was defending Nards and his clips - no more, no less.

It’s cool though. You have a following and I don’t, so people are are going to side with what you say no matter what. No wonder egos get so inflated around here.[/quote]

I have a “following” on here? Really? I wasn’t aware that I had a fan club and every time I turn around I don’t see anyone following me. And believe me, my ego was hyper-inflated long before I’d ever even heard of this site.

"Some of the antics he has filmed are not the sort of behaviour you can fix with a few words of advice.

Some of the stuff, like the girl dancing on the treadmill, flys in the face of common sense. If he told her to use the treadmill properly I doubt her response would be positive. She knows how to use the treadmill properly otherwise she wouldn’t be able to dance around like she does. She does it that way because she wants to."

Those are your words. Are you telling me that you didn’t mean any of that? Because I fail to see how the above quote is not you passing judgment on others. What would you call “use the treadmill properly”? What about “She does it that way because she wants to”? Or, my personal favorite, “…not the sort of behavior you can fix with a few words of advice”? That isn’t you judging her behavior? That’s you supporting something that Nards said?

Oh, I get it now. You speak some long-forgotten version of English that I’m unfamiliar with where words have entirely different meanings than they do in the more common version of English that the rest of the Western world has been speaking for centuries now. I believe it’s known by its original name, I Don’t Have The Slightest Concept of Reading Comprehensionlish.

Look, first of all not everyone here sides with everything I have to say. It may happen frequently, but only because I am frequently right and/or because when people disagree with me I do a pretty damn good job of explaining my reasoning behind why I feel the way I do and why I feel they are wrong. But believe me, NOT everyone on here agrees with me. Obviously you haven’t read the MLB thread. I wouldn’t be sporting this stupid fucking avatar if everyone in THERE agreed with me.

So I ask you for a third time: what about her behavior needs fixing? What about her use of the treadmill is really that improper compared to how other people use it? What is wrong with her using it the way she wants to?[/quote]

A third time? Oh, fuck off. You can write but you can’t read. You have to respond with paragraphs of misdirection simply because you misread what I had to say it the first place.

To recap: Count Rockula told Nards to give his fellow gymgoers good advice instead of looking down on them. I told Rock that some people in the gym don’t want to be fixed. That was the point of Nards’ vids. You skimmed over Rock’s posts and called me out for passing judgement on people and asked me three times why I said anybody needed to be “fixed”. Except I never said that - it was Rock.

Is that clear enough?[/quote]

When you say that some people don’t want to be fixed, the overt implication is that something is broken. What is broken? What does Nards think is broken, if you’re simply trying to guess at what his feelings about the matter are. And if that is NARDS’ point and not yours, why would you not make clear that you don’t feel this person’s use of the treadmill is not broken and does not need to be fixed, instead of blatantly citing it as an example of something that is not fixable with a few words of advice. And when you channel your inner Nards in the future, could you indicate when it is that you are now Nards speaking through Roybot and when it is actually you speaking?

I’m not going after Rock because he corrected/clarified his feelings on the matter, whereas you have apparently spoken in vague, cryptic terms in which you may or may not have channeled Nards’ thoughts on the issue into your own brain. Your “recap” is nothing more than revisionism after the fact. The ONLY thing that is clear here is what you said, which I directly quoted and which was the progenitor of this whole argument.

Hi, dont know what the fuck you guys are talking about. DB whats up, Ct Rock, whats up. Roy what up. I just wanted to quote to take up half a page and then ramble something like us old fuckers do. Carry on.
[/quote]
What’s up? What we’re talking about is really just totally juvenile bullshit. Roybot seems to suffer from the delusional thought that when he says something needs to be fixed, that he is NOT also saying that whatever it is in question is broken.

Repeat after me. I. Never. Said. Anyone. Was. Broken. [/quote]

Just explain the meaning of your quote a little more clearly, specifically this one: “Some of the antics he has filmed are not the sort of behavior that can be fixed with a few words of advice.”

What is broken that needs to be fixed? Did you disagree with his assessment that her use of the treadmill was broken? I don’t know why it’s so hard for you to directly and unambiguously answer these simple questions. You wrote it, and yet you can’t explain what you meant by the above sentence? It’s pretty clear to me what you meant, but I can’t understand WHY we seem to be at an impasse about it. I’m sure you’ll answer THAT question with more profanity and sophistry that avoids answering what I’ve spent 2 pages trying to get answered. Maybe if I just keep asking over and over again you’ll eventually slip up and actually tell me what YOU meant by the sentence I directly quoted from you above.
