    Haha! As long as you' don't come stand in front of me mid-set to practice posing in *my* mirror. Or lift your shirt to check your abs every few minutes (or whenever a hot girl walk by)

    I try not to notice other people. I am usually lost in space during the actual workout. They are all probably pointing and laughing at me and I wouldn't notice.

    Whats up with those mirrors anyways? They're like fun-house mirrors. I look like a beast in them. I get home and look in the mirror, and I look like a stick figure. How do I get gym mirrors in my house?

    Might not of been stupid but very comical it was actually a security recording of myself at the gym one night.
    I went in about 10 pm on a Saturday night had the whole gym to myself. I was about half way through my work out and a bat flew between me and the mirror. I spent the next 15 minutes chasing it around the gym with a broom before I finally Babe Ruthed it.
    The owner showed it to me the next day.

    There's an older woman (maybe 70) at my gym who lays out a mat and does yoga poses in between the weight benches. She's a bit 'odd' but quite, so no one asks her to move... I guess we're just a very polite gym... but she's oblivious to the traffic jam she creates.

    Stop over-thinking, simplicity facilitate many things.

    The guys who deadlift and their back has a bigger arch than a rainbow.

    Weighed lifting belt for bicep curls

    Set, Text, Water, Text, Shuffle Playlist, Text, Water, Jack volume up, Text, etc before doing another set

    Leaning on equipment chatting with other people with zero interest in using said equipment.

    People who chalk up the barbells then don't clean them after.

    One guy used rec drugs as a preworkout (think Charlie Sheen), on top of using the original Jack3d that got banned. No idea how his heart didn't explode.

    People who load up a machine with weights and then don't put the weights back. Funny story, this punk kid squatting 225 lbs, finishes his sets, doesn't unrack the weight. My mom walks up asks him if he's done, kid says "yeah...Oh do you want me to remove the weight for you." She laughed and said no I'll be fine. Then she does her 225 lbs for reps and embarrasses the kid (My mom is 5 feet tall, 130 lbs and was 58ish years old at the time)


    Should've made a home gym sooner.

    All of that, but especially your mom. I'm 5'1, 115-120ish, 50 (and on Anavar ) but I'm squatting much less than that for reps. Your mom is the boss

    Some guy today was sitting at the leg abduction machine, ridiculous limited rom, like he was just squeezing his balls, and also had a contented expression to his face.

    There is this guy in the gym who comes around 4. he spend more time flexing his "Ausi" muscles in mirror then do one set pose again and try to see who is watching him. Some days I just want to punch him.
    Oh this old lady with the sunglasses at 8am in the morning sounded like a broken drum (seriously ) when she talked.

    Anyway, there was some dude doing flat dumbbell press on a bench, he had finished his set thrown his weights down in front of him and sat up at the end of the bench, head was facing down.. headphone on, in gym mode.

    This Chinese dude, decided to sit on the end of the bench (where the benchers head goes) and started doing bicep curls… So the bencher grabs his weights after his rest and at this point still hasn’t noticed this dude sat on his bench doing curls, he threw his weights back, knocked the Chinese dude off the bench… weights went flying, glasses fell on the floor… he asked him what he was doing and he said I was curling the dumbbells and he shook his head and they went their separate ways.

    I could have stopped it from happening, but I just watched it happen….

    An embarrassing moment for me, some big dude asked me to spot him on the bench, I was about 17, he was benching, pushed out about 5 or 6, started to struggle, I leant over to help him a and a drop of sweat fell from my chin and landed on his face. He didn’t ask for a spot since..

    I always have my headphones on in the gym and dont look at people who look like they need a spot, that way they cant ask. And if they do, I can pretend I cant hear them. Fuck a spot, roll the bar down your body to your waist and stand up, or risk your life and go for the suicide pins like a man!

    There was this old dude that would hand on the pull up bars and raise his feet between is arms, and while still hanging onto the bar, would do this back-flip thingy so his arms were jacked in the wrong direction. Did this with sets and reps too. I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish. He swung his legs up, so it wasnt for abs.
