    meanwhile at the gym

    while pumping, grunting like a mo fo and keeping focus
    this guy just approaches and started to talking, "wassup?"
    "have you been here long?" (and all the small talks) I have no clue who he is or what the F he's smoking, anyway I try to keep it short and make him feel that I need to get sh't done. counting down my rest times and jotting down notes after lifts. so this guy went on for about 15 mins before I left the machine and went on to the track. how do you ward off people like this? I'm all for being friendly and sharing equipment and all but man! I go to the gym to get business done. why do people go to the gym and just talk anyway?? that's why there's a coffee shop.

    Fvck people, I look pretty hostile(most of the bigger guys do too, none of them looks like they want to chat). No one wants to talk to me and I am completely fine with that. I talk a little to the guys I spot or who spot me. But, for sho - Get in, get your shit done and get out.

    Lol if you were bigger than him then he was probably just trying to be nice and possibly get some tips off you. A lot of smaller guys are afraid to ask the bigger guys for any help or tips because they don't look friendly or look like they want to have a chat. And remember, a lot of people on here say the way to ask someone at the gym about AAS is to ease it into conversation. Start off with small talk etc and then when you gain his trust then you can ask. So he might be trying to do that.

    how do you blow off people that try to talk when using public bathrooms? lol nothing worse than taking a piss, at a urinal, and a guy cums up next to you, "hey, watsup bro? " fukn open ended questions--reverse it back and keep it movein lol.

    " hey whatsup bro?"-- (question)
    "whatsup bro!" (statement)

    or a simple polite head nod.

    When people keep bothering me at the gym while they are talking to me I just pee my pants. Works every time.

    I've moved alot threw the years. Most of the time i've meet my friends in the gym after i moved. Nothing wrong with talking to someone. I love how everyone is pro and cant take 3 mins. Oh god i was supposed to rest 45 seconds and it was a minute 15. now everything is ruined.

    not really, I'd like to be focused when I'm in there. Even when we go as a group; lift spot and rest, keeps the blood pumping.

    then you need to work on focus. Being focused means you can keep it when getting distracted.

    For sure, that's me on full on juice and pre-work out days. Just shaking the floor with my dead lifts. . . . . Or when I do squats I just look like I'm gonna rip someone's head off.

    ok---
    So clearly he was doing one of a few things.
    --He was gay and wanted some of you
    --Wanted to talk "shop"--meaning the sauce
    --Wanted u to give him training tips
    --or--and this just may be it---HE'S A TALKER!--A REAL CHATTER BOX.

    The one good thing about I can say about my 25+ years of dealing with the public, is that I 10000% know exactly how to end a conversation.
    Sometimes...not always...but SOMETIMES you just gotta be a pr!ck about it and walk away mid-sentence.
    Sucks...but the gym isn't supposed to be a social event.

    IN-AND-OUT

    I just look like I'm about to beat the cr@p out of someone and I'm pretty much left alone. The funniest thing is that the smaller folk even vacate machines I'm eyeing even when I offer to alternate! lol

    I love my new gym for the game face crews all over the place. Almost everyone who has the earphones in and the mean ass game face on ALL break into the warmest smiles and quick greetings when another one of the boys walks in. Me included. Then straight back to that controlled aggression focus! anyone who didn't know the gym game would think we were all retarded psychos I'm sure. very few chatter box mofos bar the PT's, but thats kind of their job so understandable I guess.
