Wow, you too huh? My wife lost ours the same day she was down sized from a certain horrible loan institution (*cough* Citi Financial *ahem*) anyways I think it traumatized us both so much we never wanted to try again. We have her son(my step son) and the two dogs so we're happy with that for the foreseeable future.

sorry to hear that. We never tried again after as well and blessed with the 2 girls we have. For those who have been through it, heart and prayers to you all.
 
Amen to that. I think it helps knowing others that have gone through it.
 
Sorry, guys. My sister just went through it. Over 30k and nothing.... I told her that I would be her surrogate.

Haha, when I went to the boardwalk, I saw a guy all decked out in crossfit wear. Shoes, hat, and hoodie... Whatever floats your boat!!
 
It's just like any other sport where you usually only see the jack asses who do it.

Some people who do it actually shut up and train and get jacked from it.

Sounds like an excuse for more practice... Show them doctors wrong! Lolol

Lol! Well, let me clarify that it's not for a lack of trying! I may be getting close to 40 but I still get it at least once a day if not more.

Haha, I'm jealous!
 
I hardly ever shower at the gym, but today I was pressed for time and decided to shower after my workout.

Had myself a killer chest workout, shower felt great, everything was perfect. I shut the water off and wouldn't you know, I left my towel in the locker lol. Gave no fûcks and walked across the locker room butt ass naked.

To be honest, I don't blame the old guys who do it. It felt freeing and somewhat humorous knowing some people were probably disgusted by it.

The owner of my gym keeps blowing kisses at me...
 
I remember this douche who had this dripping, oozing open sore on the back of his calf - about the size of a fist. He was doing incline sit ups with his legs wrapped over the support pads so that the goop oozing out of his wound was getting on the equipment. I told him that he should put a bandage on it and he was like "I don't need one". I told the gym manager who forced him to put on a bandage after much hassling and trying to convince him why he needed one. What an @ss.

Sweat and body funk is already gross and unsanitary enough. But to leave your puss and infection on machines... That's just tasteless IMO. No gym etiquette.
 
Well I experienced today how you shouldn't give advice to people. I was lifting and I guess my form wasn't perfect. I already knew that and the only thing I was really focused on was my lumbar spine and not leg drive in my dead lift because my glutes and hams already had some decent DOMS going on and this was back day. Anyway I notice in the mirror him and his girl who are wearing like matching gym clothes just staring at me. Then I notice him start talking **** about my form to her. He clearly had no idea I could hear them and see what was going on. That ****ed me up even more because I lost all of my focus. I finished up and this prick starts giving me advice at another station acting like he was just trying to help but he wasn't. He was just mad that I was on the machine that he was trying to use so he used advice as a way to try and belittle me. So of course I said he was creepy as **** for staring at me and he says he's always staring at people while they lift. I've never felt like actually blindsiding someone like I felt today. I was very close to taking a serious charge I've never had someone come at me like that at a gym over nothing. Btw if he was really concerned about my form hurting me why would he give me the advice 20 minutes AFTER I'm done!!
 
I rarely give it, one time I got frustrated though because I was trying to be helpful to these two girls squatting. They were reracking the bar backwards into the cage by basically dropping it from their shoulders. I walked over, started with, "hey I'm not trying to be a gym creep but I just wanted to say if you face the pegs and walk towards them after your set then you can lean the bar forward onto the rack and you won't risk hurting your spine." They rolled their eyes at me so hard they almost fell out of their head and said. "Sure, thanks."

Well...**** me right?

And dude you were totally in the right. Nothing wrong with the way you approached the situation. I'd gladly take advice from you if you approached me like that.

That's the only way to go about it. Good on you for approaching with caution. Too bad they were being dicks but what can ya do? I've only had one guy offer me (solicited) advice. I was doing squats and he started talking to me about PL and ****. He prefaced his statement mid conversation with "can I give you a suggestion?"
 
The ****ing father son combo strikes again. No weight left re-racked. No plates picked up. And no equipment wiped down.

Bastards.
 
May switch back to a commercial gym. I dunnnnnooooo.... I kinda miss it.

Haha, I still have a membership there and I've only gone twice. I'm going to try really hard to utilize it since I don't have class til July. I don't know, I miss the crowd for some reason. There was only 5 people at my gym last night.

Damn let me go there then, my gym is so crowded that there are always 2-3 waiting around to use a piece of equipment. It gets annoying.

You're more than welcome to join me when you come back to California. :)

Sigh* I don't know. I don't want it super crowded but I do miss having some people there.
 
well if you need to cardio it's your place.
 
The funny thing is I went there when I started exercising. Then one by one all the good equipment was phased out. Flat bench gone, leg sled gone, then hamstring kickback was taken out. When any dumbbell over 40? Maybe it was over 50 got removed I just left. I didn't want to keep training in Smith Machines lol

You honestly can't beat $10 a month. I do see the beginner draw but it's just not a place you can really get that next level physique IMO. Just my opinion! I also think they'd toss your ass if you got real cut up anyways cause you'd be "intimidating."

$10 is the only reason why I keep it. I may quit this weekend, though. The annual fee is coming up.


Blah, the annoying couple is here. I can hear them through my loud music. They're arguing again....

There was probably 15 people by the time I left. They just added a single leg, leg press machine, too. :D

It's in Sacramento but out of the way for me.

I would absolutely love that :) Hopefully I'll be back out in the fall.

I can understand that, I enjoy people watching especially when I'm doing cardio so with no one around I can see how it would be a bit boring. Plus as annoying as some "douchebags" are, they're also very entertaining at the same time.
 
Is it douchey to yell out "zero!!!" When someone ego lifts AND quarter squats? :P
 
It always the teenagers who won't take any advice from the "old guys" 33 ain't old ****!
