I’m doing bent over rows last night and a trainer walks up and says “I’m not sure what you are doing but we normally do bicep work only with the dumbbells. We reserve the barbell work for those who take ‘steroids’(said in a whisper).”
I said “Thanks, that’s good to know.”
I didn’t know what else to say.
He walked away with a smile.

While I was in the locker room…I am mixing my protein shake at the sink and a older guy walks over, our convo went something like this…
Him:“What is that?”
Me: "Oh, it’s a protein and carb shake.
Him: "Oh ok, what kind of protein is it?
Me: “It’s just whey.”
Him: “Well have your ever tried hemp protein?”
Me: “Um…isn’t that weed?”
Him: giggles, winks, and walks off…
I didn’t know what to think.[/quote]
Well, it’s NOT “weed”. In fact, many believe if the use of hemp were legalized, the cotton industry would suffer as well as paper.
He probably walked off because your comment indicated you didn’t know anything about it and explaining it would take more effort than necessary.

Not to be contrary but how hard would it be to explain that the concentration of THC is the main and primary difference between the two?
Either way who the fuck uses hemp protein lol, gimmie a break people.
A one armed guy asked me to lend him a hand three weeks ago.

Actually, I agree. It’s not even “protein” per say, it’s 70-80% fiber by volume. So it’s hemp fiber that happens to have some protein in it.
Using that PoWo or for any other reason than to bolster fiber intake is a practice in idiocy.

Why’d it take you so long to tell us about this?

Now that’s just in poor taste.
…and I love it.
I was doing dumbell bench presses on a mobile bench.
Walked to the water fountain, turned around and saw a bloke moving the dumbells I had left on the bench, water bottle etc.
and put his own towel down. I said “sorry mate I’m still using that” then he followed up with two unbelievable statements.
Stupid statement number 1: “Can’t you use that bench there?” pointing to the vacant bench next to me.
No, I’m using this one"
Stupid statement number 2: “Well hurry up man”.
Then tries to use the same dumbells I was but couldn’t lift them once without a spotter. I was tempted to try and distract the spotter so the fuckwit would drop them on his own head.
Holy shit batman, a thread whining about what people do/say at the gym?
Never seen this before.
On topic : I overheard a guy saying that carrot juice would do nothing for muscle growth, and that enormous amounts of NO Explode would make your weener grow.
I mean, right?

Well, I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t have wasted the time to explain all of that either. He didn’t even know the guy. This doesn’t sound like some deep conversation between old friends.
I try to reduce the random conversation with people I don’t know because I know eventually the average person will say something that shows they really are pretty clueless. Exceptions might be classmates, the gym or people I work with.

Oh shit! that reminds me of another good one…
We have this dude Larry at the gym… he’s in a wheel chair (amputated from the knees down…) anyway… we were all training… and some new dude shows up… The new dude starts doing lunges… (in fine form…)… anyway… Larry rolls up to this new guy at the guy and says:
“Hey bud… yer form is a little off eh?”
so the new guy turns around and sees him… and just keeps going…
Larry says:
“No… no… dude… seriously… Here… look out… I’ll show you how…”
So the new dude isn’t quite sure what to do, and he moves outta the way… to which Larry quips:
“Dude… I’m kidding… I have no legs bro…” then starts laughing…
The whole place laughs… (along with the new dude…) it was pretty good… 
Haha that’s awesome that he has a sense of humour about it.

Yep, I swear by God some “soccer dad” wearing crocs said that to me back in July. Only in a perfect world would I have been allowed to chokeslam him for his stupidity.

I think I found my Vice-Overlord = one vote.

I was benching one day. Struggling, of course, because I totally suck at bench press. A creepy old guy wearing a red t-shirt that was covered with white dried sweat stains came up to me between sets and said “You know, that would be a lot easier if you didn’t bring the bar all the way down to your chest. I know guys that compete and do it that way, but it’s really not necessary” Umm…Thanks.
Ooof. Do you know bad you have to sweat before you start getting electrolyte stains on your shirt? [/quote]
What!??!???
I get salt crystals on the sides of my big ol head at work (labor) all the time.

This guy reads Muscle and Fitness religously, so he definitely knows his shit.
I showed him this website and I think he was really getting into it until his girlfriend threw a fit over all the pictures of half naked chicks on here. After that he just bashes T-Nation every chance he gets. :[[/quote]
Sounds like a tard who’s balls are kept in a mason jar under the bed.

Oh shit, that’s funny!!
The owner of the gym that I used to belong to, sponsored the special olympics and he had a powerlifting team of guys who were disabled in some way.
He gave a few of them jobs at the gym, cleaning and keeping the place decent. Well, one of the guy was deaf, hyper, but very friendly and he was usually the guy who vaccumed at the end of the night.
He had this long cord, that was really four extension cords that were connected. So, when he’d vaccume, one of the guys would disconnect the cord when he was down at the other end of the gym. But, obviously the guy who was vaccuming couldn’t hear it, so he’d just keep going and didn’t know the difference for a minute.
He would get pissed off after it was done a couple of times…
