My friend goes there, too, and he says the same thing.
 
Yea like the gym is awesome. Best gym other than worlds gym. But the major draw back is those frat guys. Like I look super serious in the gym and might look like a mean person but I'm really not haha. Oh well I go in and do my thing

I hate the old guys that sit in the sauna, butt naked. At least have a towel over your junk.

It's not a problem, it's a goal!


I saw this the other day. Sometimes we forget about the begin, even myself at times. We're all on the same journey, we're just at different levels, and eventually, we'll all meet up at the finish line... :)

How about this.

So I'm deadlifting on the platform in my gym yesterday. Two guys walked up near the platform and just sat down and started having a conversation while stretching out, and they kept glancing over at me. So I did another set, acknowledged them and asked if they were waiting to use the platform. They said yes, gave me an exasperated look, and one of them rolled his eyes at the fact that I was doing like three more sets. When I finished, they didn't even wait for me to finish stripping my bar before they started stacking 45's on the platform, two stacks of 5 about a foot apart. I finished stripping the bar and I put it up, and when I looked over they were doing these weeeeird, funky dumbell deadlift things where they stood on the stacks of plates, squatted down and lowered the dumbell to about the second plate down, and went back up. The worst part is, they super-setted those with burpees. For like 45 minutes. On the only platform in the gym, which could be used for a million other useful things.... When they could have done their weird method literally ANYWHERE else. And when they left, they didn't even clean up their stacks or put the dumbell away.... They just left it.

That's my biggest pet peeve at the gym. When people don't put their weights away. I've seen a worker chase after people to put their weights back before and it was hilarious!

It was closing time and some guy had just finish repping 8 plates on the power squat and he walked away. The worker guy followed him to the other side of the room and made him come back to strip his plates. He noticed that I was staring so he pretended to get back on, do one rep and strip 2 plates off until he was done putting all the plates back. Being the douche that I am, I kept making eye contact with him, laughing, and shaking my head. :D
 
With the resolutioners season we've had a recent influx of improperly stacked weights also. 25's burying a couple 10, or the same. On our 3 squat racks Sunday there wasn't a single 45. They were all 10's and 5's with a couple 25's.

Oh man, same here. I couldn't find a 45 anywhere when I was squatting!

Usually around this week or next the resolutioners start to hit the wall and give up. It's usually a 6 week thing.

People always say to not talk negatively about the resolutioners, but really, nobody would hate them if they didn't act like such idiots. I think it's perfectly acceptable to spartan kick someone if they leave a 45 on one end of a bench bar and the other side of the bar empty. I saw that the other day.... He just stripped one side and left.
 
Resolutioners are just annoyingbwith all the stupid questions,however what really annoys me arw the resolutioners who have been training and eating for a full month now and feel that they are now ready for steroids..usually Dbol only and then with a proviron "pct"
 
I have a rule for myself. I NEVER go on a cycle during January and February. I know I would probably flip a switch because of some resolutioner and the gym is always ridiculously crowded. It's also a good time to take a short break from the gym to just let your body recover and get your mind right.

Dear God, that is so true. My favorite is seeing the 5'8" 135lb dudes walking around in blackstone labs shirts and talking about the "hard gear" that they're running, when I had never seen them before in the gym until like three weeks ago.

I take my break from December to mid-late January. That's when the crowd at my gym is the worst and it also coincides with hunting and trapping season. Keeps me from being away from my family more than normal.

I once found out a guy (17 at the time) was doing AAS,so I asked him if he knew what damage it is causing to his hormones.His response was that he was anyway going to go pro ao it's oky and that he didn't care if he died as long as they burried him in a big box.At this timw he had 3 months of training and eating under his belt
 
So this dude at the gym put 7 plates on each side of the smith and asked me to record him shrugging. I said no. He proceeds to use 100% less drive and neck movement , instead of his traps, to "shrug" this weight while grunting like a whale. I think it's time for a new gym.

I dont think i ever will go un-natty! Maybe....but not anytime soon! Lol. I just want to be able to say i got "huge" natural, but then again, once you get to that state, most likely nobody is going to believe your natural except for friends.

Had something similar today. Guy asked me to help lift the oly bar from one bench to the other 5ft away, didn't bother me but the thing is it only had two 45's each side.

What was stopping him from stripping it and moving it himself?!

Sigh...........
 
A worker waited til I was about to get under the bar to tell me that I can't train barefoot.

Him: uh, my boss told me to tell you that you have to wear shoes but since it's early, you can get away with it for today.

Me: pulls out my mouth guard.

Him: oh wow, a mouth guard! Super cool! :D

Me: :D well, they let me at my home gym.

Him: oh yea, too many people have been doing it but I'll let you do it this time.

There's hardly any free weights at this new gym. :/

What's wrong with squatting barefoot? It's not like people eat off the floor.
