Big lol at the "summer cut"

AK DoubleWide 47
This is the that time in the year in which I really laugh my a## off every other minute,
I realized it today while driving and every other corner you see chubby guys soaking sweat running,
gyms packed like there's a rock festival in it, and of course tons of posts asking for "summer cut stack"
or "best fat burner".. like any of the above will make up a year of bad diet and missed workouts,
or take you from 25% BF to sub 10.. LOL and good luck

Disclaimer: I understand if you're a pro, if you compete, most people have hard time gaining weight while staying
lean, phases are unavoidable etc..
 
Haha...yeah, my gym was packed this morning with tons of people I've never seen. One of them was flopping around from side to side on a decline bench doing what I guess was some kind of core exercise. Smiled and had to walk to the water fountain and lol to myself.

But I can't hate...as long as they're there, whatever the reason...good for them for trying.
 
So that's why my gym was so packed yesterday... interesting interesting....

That's the bottom line though, they are trying. Some might have waited to long or might quit in a week but it's an effort in the right direction. I would rather see a bunch of fat outa shape peeps rather than a bunch of c0cky jock types that puff out there chest while they walk through the gym.
 
Strange you guys must live in a different country than I do. The only time I see an influx of people at the gym is January, due to "New Years resolutions". During the spring and summer business generally dies out.
 
My gym is fully stocked with newbies breaking shiz and taking my squat rack for curls guess Spring Break brings them in
 
Not everyone is 4 percent body fat like you AK. Personally I could care less what other people are doing at the gym anyway. As long as they don't get in my way I'm good.
 
at my work when the weather turns nice everyone starts ordering salads like ordering a salad instead of a burger is going to get you your summer body in 2 weeks. people at my work also ask me what i recommend as fat loss pills as they are eating buffalo wings and cheese fries but i enjoy the good laugh so im not complaining lol.

Agreed...but the summer cut influx is getting in my way. The only plus is-there's NOBODY trying to get big legs just in time for the beach.

As usual, squat racks are vacant 80% of the time.
 
Deff see a huge influx of ppl in jan and April to may but in both cases they only last a few weeks and you get all these new ppl in there asking you for advice and how to lose weight and oh man it's annoying...I do like having the confidence boost of having people watch me and look at me when I'm all pumped tho lol

I didn't say I care what people do,
and I wasn't born nor I'd be lean without busting my a## off 12 months a year,
this is just the time in which I allow myself to get a laugh when bumping into
fat guys that are 10 years younger then me running under the sun.
Lol I don't even go to the beach, actually I'm photosensitive,
I can't even wear short sleeves if under the sun
Just to clarify, I'm not THAT kinda guy

My post wasn't meant to be so dramatic but it doesn't matter, I guess some people love drama.
Me and you guys are not on the same wavelenght here but it's ok, we can play.
I tend to have lil consideration for weak people with no discipline and those who can't control
basic human weaknesses, but for the most part I ignore, once a year I feel like commenting.
Yes, I'm mean, and?

Relax man. If only life were so simple as to equate body composition with discipline. The reality is that not everyone shares our goals.

Some of the great minds of our day are overweight. Some people go through periods of heavy stress. Some have eating disorders. Some have metabolic disorders. Some do not have the time to watch their diet. Some don't have the money to invest in calorie-sparse foods. Everyone became who they are by some means or another. But one constant is that they all care about improving their health if they are out there exercising. That should be applauded.

[SUP]31[/SUP]And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
[SUP]32[/SUP]For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
[SUP]33[/SUP]And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
[SUP]34[/SUP]And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
[SUP]35[/SUP]But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
[SUP]36[/SUP]Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
[SUP]37[/SUP]Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
[SUP]38[/SUP]Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
[SUP]40 [/SUP]The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
[SUP]41 [/SUP]And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
[SUP]42 [/SUP]Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
 
Totally understand AK, there is a difference between people who genuinely want to improve themselves and those who want that "magic pill" so they can look like an entirely different person for "the beach". And then use the squat rack to do curls.
Also, is it bad etiquette to do bent rows and shrugs in the squat racks? This occurred to me today while I was supersetting them...

I'd say no. Bent-over rows can be done off the ground, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to DL my shrug weight at the beginning of every set.

Wow this is very... something, I don't know the word for it
 
Wish I could lift with some of you guys. I can't seem to find a lifting partner worth a damn. I notice the influx around January with those New Years reso's coming out of the woodwork. Usually another peak early March before spring break and then it dies down...

Yesterday was Tall Guy Wednesday in the gym. I consider myself a very tall individual but after 30 minutes or so of being in the gym there were like 5 other guys all ranging from 6'3-6'6. I had no idea what the hell was going on. I had never seen so many tall dudes lifting all in one place.

I can sympathize, it's kinda like being behind a student driver lol on the other hand it's good they are making an effort. I got a home gym that I train with and I've collected just about everything needed for a gym style workout so I don't have to deal with all that. On a side note AK was just venting no reason to attack the guy.

i 2nd therers a lot of people you can laugh at because they want to just do bicep curls and take the best preworkout. these are the same people who want your advice but also ignore things they dont want to hear like focusing more on squats. do sprints instead of walking on a treadmill. go until failure sometimes yadi yadi yadda.

Word up. People tell me they wanna cut for summer I remind them they should have started thinking about that in February. My other favorite is looking for the strongest fat burner stack and what I take. When I tell them "nothing" it blows their mind.
 
Gyms always packed this time of year. Few more people in my way but just gotta make due for now.

People wanna be lean for summer, not everyone is bbing like us in one way or another.

Someone is insecure
 
Nothing wrong with people trying to better their physique, health, and/or self-esteem.

Summer cut is a popular thing because its the common beach/boat/shirt-off season

Most peoples expectations are outrageous though...but hey at least they have goals right :D
