"The Bad-Breath Spot"/Sweat Drops Fallin' On My Face! *Gym Hygiene* (SP?)

**Panzerfaust80** · 02-28-2009, 11:04 AM

Since the discussions lately have been gym related Idiosyncrasies, I'd thought I'd bring up a most-dreaded type of situation that occurs, sometimes quite often..

You know, when you're walking on your way to the water fountain after a set of 575lb on bench (yea right) and some random (or frequent, which is the worst cuz u already know what to expect) guy says, "yo man, can u gimme a spot". . so, not wanting to appear as a total dick, you oblige the man and casually walk over to his bench. You ask the standard, "Need a lift?" to the guy and he replies, "No Im good."

You then nod, and watch as he removes the bar from rack. He takes a massive breath in as he lets the bar drop to his chest. Meanwhile, you are slightly bent over, with your face perpendicular to his, carefully watching the bar, as this is the first time you are spotting him and you have no idea how strong he is or isnt. THEN, at that moment, he exhales in a giant, furious showoosh of wind. The rotten, most disguisting smell exits his mouth, and heads straight for your nostrils. As you inhale his foul, putrid breath and you are taken back, and you then realize this will not be a very pleasant 8-10 reps.

I hate when that happens, especially when its the SAME dood that you already knows breath smells like shyt... or the guy that drops sweat-bombs on your face while spotting u on incline or flat dumb. flyes...

ugh .. these little things I hate... I deliberately never ask this one guy to spot me because he looks like a walking waterfall.

Bottom line peeps, lets improve all of our gym-hygene. for god sakes brush ur teeth before u go to gym or chew gum like arnold... bring a towel... ETC ETC..

anyone else have any similar experiences?

however, if you are one of these poor souls that spew your shittious venom throughout the gym, take heed in my words my son, take heed.. =)

auf w.

Before i go to the gym i always lick the rim of the toilet seat, i like my breath to smell as bad as possible. The reason i do this, is that when that guy stops me from doing my routine to spot him, i can blow my decaying stench right in his face. I find it stops them from ever asking again...

**Matt** · 02-28-2009, 11:33 AM

Would anyone like a kiss??

Theres shyt on ur toilet seat?? id hate to see what the rest of ur bathroom looks like lol..

Good theory.. kinda like loaning money to people, once you do, and they never pay u back u never have to worry about them asking you for flow again.

I hate my sometimes work out partnerds breath. It smells like the rotting shanker of a three day old dead wilde beast in the noon day kalahari sun.
I like him so I tell him EVERY single time we work out, "dude you have zackly" that means his beathe smells exactly like his ass, but he just doesn't seem to think it's a big deal.

Time for a new partner

**Brown Ninja** · 02-28-2009, 12:43 PM

Just avoid eye contact or walk away right in the middle of the spot. That will make them twice before asking

**Panzerfaust80** · 02-28-2009, 12:48 PM

I must admit, however, Im a bit guilty of the second offense thou... one day I was a-sweatin like a hog and some un-suspecting soul asked me for a incline-bench spot... I wiped my face before proceeding with the spot, but one rogue sweat-drop managed to find its way right smack down into the guys open-eyeball...obviously he put the bar back on the rack and immediately wiped his eye clean of my startling random little drop of holy water, but we just laughed it off and I apologized.. I dont recall him ever asking me for a spot from that point onward..always wondered why...O well... I felt kinda bad for 1.3 seconds but then I got over it.

I always make sure there are no stray sweat-pellets now prior to providing my spotting services to an individual. =)

LOLz, i feel your pain, that was very descriptive btw!

**Brown Ninja** · 02-28-2009, 12:54 PM

that will teach him to use dumbells if he is without a partner

When describing my posts, I always try to be as descriptive in my description as descriptively possible, so theres no questioning my descriptiveness.

Did i use all suffixes possible?

**oneshot** · 02-28-2009, 01:16 PM

im sure everyone is guilty of the second one at least once. I dont mind giving a guy a spot at the gym, its his risk not mine. the other day at my school rec center, i witnessed some frat douchebag looking in the mirror combing his hair between his sets. WTF!?!? that really pissed me off.

**higherdesire** · 02-28-2009, 01:23 PM

I laughed out loud at that!

***RAGE*** · 02-28-2009, 01:54 PM

LMFAO....very good bro very good....

**Narkissos** · 02-28-2009, 01:55 PM

Screw spotting random people.

**Matt** · 02-28-2009, 01:59 PM

**Matt** · 02-28-2009, 01:59 PM

^^i luaghed my ass off to this, my wife looked at me like i was insane, either way when i go to the gym i hate when ppl interrupt my workout

**Panzerfaust80** · 02-28-2009, 02:14 PM

LOL...

I'd rather people perceive me as open, friendly, and always willing to lend a hand at the gym, and I also know if I needed a spot one day I would want someone to hook it up for me. dont want everyone walking around thinkin im some stuck up dyckhead, ya know??

Leave that up to the hot chicks at the gym, they do plenty of that! Nothing worse than a hot chick that knows it...

**braer4** · 02-28-2009, 02:21 PM

lol ya my wife calls me a puffer fish, so i thought it would be silly and i agree what you say panzerfaust80, i just get in the mindset, and once i walk in the door to the gym its like walking onto a battlefield, you go to fight, and you gotta be focused....'least thats me

**Panzerfaust80** · 02-28-2009, 02:27 PM

Is it just that I am deprived right now or does that look like a woman doing the splits upside down?

No, Desire, I feel with a milld-to-moderate hallocinogenic, one could very well interpret that photo as such..

..but if that is indeed a woman, I must say that's one impressive bush! =)

Now the only question that remains, Does the carpet match the drapes??

**higherdesire** · 02-28-2009, 03:30 PM

Obviously European woman right? Word.

**Panzerfaust80** · 02-28-2009, 03:38 PM

Precisely... French most likely. =)

**MASTER** · 05-07-2009, 12:17 PM

I let one rip in my training partners face while he was spotting me on weighted chins. He got me back while I was passing him a weight on the hyperextension bench tho, was deadly.

**NightWolf** · 05-07-2009, 12:54 PM

There is a guy in my gym, he is a short and small guy
maybe weighs about 100lbs max. Anyway this guy
ALWAYS askes for help, and the thing is he ALWAYS
uses weights that he cant even do 1 rep by himself
without spotting. The thing is, he smells like a rotten
corpse! nowdays if he askes me, i alkways say sure
and then send over my cousin or something
