Some “bro” who tried to give me advice while working in with me on cables:
“Dude, just run around a track 2 times, drop and do 100 push ups, get up, run 2 more laps…and do this every day bro and you’ll get so cut…and I eat whatever the fuck I want man…fuck that diet shit bro!”
Me: “So what are you doing at the gym?”
Bro:“Tracks closed bro…”
lol i dont know why but I thought that shit was hilarious…
Don’t know why, but so do I!

The first time I tried to pull 405 for a max I missed it. I busted my ass but didn’t pull the bar up that far. This dude came over and said “Look man, if you need to bust a nut that bad, there’s a girl I could call.” I didn’t really know what to say. I did end up getting 405 that day though.
You get the number?[/quote]
I should’ve. I guess that would make it a better story. I’m not sure if I wanted this guy’s sloppy seconds though. He was a dirty looking man.
There’s a young O-Lifter who once told me that I’d break my knees doing squats because the angle of my legs was greater than the one of my feet.
I tried afterward, to replicate his “observation” in the bottom position of my squat stance and was unable to have my knees pointing outside my feet angle…
By the way, he’s the kind of guy that give advice to everyone who squats, because he’s a weightlifter after all…he knows his stuff, his trainer said so.
Today there was a guy curling the curl bar. His buddy was spotting him. He’d done 100, maybe 200 curls when his ipod earbud fell out…he held the curl bar in the down position and then he yelled, “Dude…I’m losing it…earbud…NOW !”…his buddy then put the earbud back in his ear…once the earbud was replaced the dude started curling again and let out a “Yessssssssssssssss”.

It was a menacing “Yes”…like he was letting the unloaded, curlbar know it was once again his biatch.

“I used to worship Satan but now I’m a crime fighter.”
This guy Crazy Dog in my gym, is like some dude who lost his fucking mind on steroids when he was in his early 20s. I’m not saying roids make everyone crazy, I’m saying when this particular crazy fuck met steroids he over did it, and fuck himself up and exacerbated his mental health alot worse.
Anyways, this guy like, is actually really fucking strong.
He curles 160 on thick bars for reverse curls, he benches 450 lbs, squats some obscene amount.
He is a really nice guy, but he’s fucking insane and he stinks like shit.
He will talk to you about religion in the middle of a squat set and tell you about how he used to hate god but now he knows Satan is no longer his master and he must fight crime.
Then he’ll start whispering about “the blacks” in your ear, and how they are responsible for all the crime.
You’d tell him to leave you alone, only, he is so fucking insane. You don’t want to offend, I’m a big dude and a boxer, and this dude actually kind of scares me.
O ya, and he hates the Olympics because it is a “13rd year old, international gymnast fuckfest…”… But he lifts olympic style anyways because well, he’s broken a few world records but his religion doesn’t allow him to compete as that would be vanity…
Man I think I might tape this guy in action and post it on here. He’s a character.

Bro, I’m so sick of hearing nutritional ignorance. I hear it all the time, no matter what my situation is. Especially regarding protein.
Do you know how many people have told me that consuming my bodyweight in grams of protein a day will kill my kidneys!?
someone told me drinking too much milk will give me kidney stones. ill believe it when i piss out a meteor.[/quote]
I have a guy here at work who tells me that my Biotest protein powder will make me fat. He says he had a friend who was a bodybuilder and he got fat from protein. So ever since, he calls them fatteners. “I see you are having your fatteners”.
He outweighs me by 50 pounds and he doesn’t workout, if you get my drift.

This isn’t about the gym, but it’s related…
I eat hard boiled eggs every day. I probably down about 6 of them, and I eat scrambled eggs for breakfast. That’s pretty normal to most of us around here…but to the sedentary fatties at my job, they always whine about how “John’s food smells”. I bring my lunch to work and it usually consists of low fat barbecue grilled chicken breasts, hard boiled eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese + Peanut Butter.
Anyways, I can’t even count the number of times somebody has asked me “So having some hard boiled eggs, huh?”. At first I was nice about it. But after hearing “Ohhh those eggs stink like fartsssss” every single fuckin’ day for the last 7 months, I’ve had enough. These are the same people that eat shit fried shit, day in and day out and then have an afternoon “snack” of a big bag of cheetos and 20oz. Coke to wash it all down.
Today at lunch after some nurse asked me why i was eating hard boiled eggs I snapped at her and said “You and all the others already know this, I’ve told you and you’ve not listened to a word I’ve said. Leave me alone and let me eat healthy. Go squeal on over to your McDonald’s”.
She didn’t like it, needless to say. I’ll be likely labeled a “meathead jerk” for what I said, but I couldn’t care less. Hopefully they’ll leave me alone for lunch.[/quote]
If we are speaking purely in terms of sensory offense, why not simply mention to others what is visually offensive about THEM? E.g. “I stink but you’re fat…”
I know, I know, immature. I just wanted to logically justify being rude in return.
I really liked Prof. X’s point that most people eat for pleasure and cannot fathom another rationale. It is so sad, and also so very hard to turn around.

Just tell them eggs are for making farts smell horrible, then offer a sample.
It wasn’t anything that strange, but three kids came into the gym the other day and were all pumped up. “It’s time to do Power-Bi’s today bros!”
They then proceeded to do 4-5 sets of 30-40 rep bicep dumbbell curls with 10’s I think.
They also did a few calf raises. And did half a mile around the track.
And left.
I just couldn’t get over their rendition of “Power-Bi’s.” Heh.

yeah, I like doing both DB and BB rows though, DB rows are probably one my favorite exercises ever though so I try to do them almost every back workout. BU’s gym isn’t much better, they only go up to 120. [/quote]
bring some duct tape to the gym so you can tape on some plates to the side of the 120s.

To OP, the weirdest thing I’ve heard at the gym was an old guy who said I shouldn’t do squats because it’ll make my ‘lady organs’ drop.
Weird, yes. Uncomfortable? Most definitely. [/quote]
WTF does that even mean?!?!! lol 
WOW!!!
I was doing push presses and had a trainer come up to me, and tell me that my military form was off… I should lower the weight, and not bend my knees when I go down… I tried explaining to him that it was a push press… to which he replied… ‘Well why not just call it a cheater press then…’

This is hardly relevant, but the term ‘cheater press’ made me think of this.
I hate people who are so hung up on the negative connotation of the word ‘cheating.’ If my cheating at something does not directly effect you, then you have no reason to be offended by it. Shut the fuck up and mind your own business. cheater press? seriously? fuckin’ douche

Breasts can never get in the way, they might get “in yer face” which is nice.
