Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but I notice more and more that the bigger you are, the more respect you kinda of given. At my univ. gym, there are those same people, all kinds, the not so serious workout ppl, the girls who come in to "look good" and the guys who do the one exercise day in and day out. The good part about our gym is that there are only a hand full of "big" people. I don't even consider myself big, but I'm decent. Usually, most students are small/skinny. I'd say, on AVERAGE, there are no more then like 3-4 "big" or "strong" people in the gym. And when you are 5'6 and weigh 210 pounds, I guess that looks big to them, although I always see myself as small (just like any other hardcore BB
But I notice that people move out of your way more often, they will be more polite with weights and wut not. And sometimes, you can tell they are pissed, they will almost make a face or something, but always comply still. I don't really know how to explain it, it's that sense or feeling that at that time when you are working out, you "own" the gym. At least till a bigger guy walks in to workout.
Like I said though, people aren't that big, and that's a big plus to working out at a school gym. During the summer I worked out at a regular public gym (Fitness West), and there were TONS of huge guys, and sometimes it makes you feel down/sad. But at school, you throw on 225/245 on the incline bench, and all those skinny fuckers stop and stare in aww, and that sometimes just makes your day
