Douchebags at the gym...

I was doing shrugs in the multi-rack with 365 and some 150 lb dude asked if he could work in and appeared to try to curl the weight; needless to say it didn't budge from the rack, lol

Ultimate gym douche questions?

1. "What do you do to get (insert muscle group) so big?"

2. "What do you take?"

Those two questions drive me up.a wall.

I don't mind the first one as much as the second one. My response to #2 is usually "I take notes on the number of calories that I'm consuming and the amount of sleep that I get". People always seem to think that there's a magical injection that will give them the physique that they want and allow them to sit on the couch eating ice cream. The good thing is that you usually only have to deal with them one or two times because they typically don't stick with the gym for long.

Mines are:

1.) What's your secret to losing weight?

2.) Can you give me motivation?

Blah...

You should tell them:

1) I use a hair dryer to melt the fat away

2) I'm better looking than you so you should just not bother trying.

Lol, they get all pissy when they find out that I don't have a magical pill. And how can I give you motivation, when I can't find it myself half the time?!

True. The first one bothers me I think because its always some dude who has a wack ass physique asking about something off the wall. "Bro forget getting bigger arms... you don't have calves! Only shins."

Or I do my entire leg workout while this window licker watches me for an hour. After I'm done "hey bro what do you do to get big legs?" You saw my routine dumbass you tell me.

Its more of the context of the question not the actual question.
 
That's very true. When I was younger I just straight up asked someone that had a very impressive physique for some help. Not some dumb crap like "how do you get your biceps so big??" More like "can I come train with you sometime?" Many guys/girls won't necessarily have the time to offer training help, but it sure comes across better than "how do I bench that much??"

I don't want to know that type of person lol. A ton of people try and talk to me at the gym. I take my time and answer questions and offer plenty of advice. Its how they ask me and what.
 
So I had the "Hover" dudes yesterday while I was doing my squats. I could tell they were getting pissed that I wasn't done yet but they showed up at the gym right when I started my first set and hovered there till I was done. Me of course, I was taking my time getting the bar situated right so it wasn't on my stitches in my back. I only worked up to 315 lbs but when I put the third plate on each side, the two douchebags started to laugh between them. They stopped when I started repping it and going past parallel -- which is not something they did when they started doing 135 lb squats.

Great stuff! Damn "lingerers"
 
I don't get how people approach you guys. Maybe it's just a new england thing but I barely get asked for a spot, never a convo.

I must not look like I even lift...
 
I don't get approached nearly as often as I used to, maybe it's these big wireless headphones I've been using, either way I'd rather be left alone

It could be they see me bullsh*ting before my workout with a bunch of the other bodybuilders and big dudes so they are like "oh he's probably nice... let me go ask him ignorant irritating questions mid set". I don't know but it happens, I really try to be nice but damn some of these guys just ask for my sarcastic remarks. Some I give advice and even stop to show them. It all depends if they look serious or have potential.. I started at 140lbs and didn't get bigger without asking questions so I get it.

lmao, this had me laughing hard. Get yourself some big wireless headphones, I seriously never have people bug me anymore.

I also have a home gym, but I still prefer going to the gym, puts me in a better mindset. The home gym is nice for when I don't wanna get dressed and drive to the gym or when I'm short on time tho
 
My gym is small and only has 1 squat rack, you make friends quick since you'll often see the same people using it. Luckily they all seem alright and few rarely ask questions, they usually just say hello and let you know how many sets they have left or ask how many I have left.
 
I go to a big commercial gym and it only has three squat/multi-use racks, which sucks bc it's a pretty big space, otherwise. Thankfully there are 4-5 benches and 2-3 of each variety of incline db bench, db shoulder chair, and flat db bench.
 
I've honestly never been approached at the gym. Probably because I'm small, frail and weak. Even when I attended a corporate gym, I was never approached. Maybe it's just the area.
 
It'll be hard leaving California!! Almost the weekend! :D
