    is there one of these in every gym?

    this week i started going to the gym at a different time and there is this one guy that comes in for about 45 minutes total, his workout consists of a set of bench press, bicep curls or tricep pushdowns and a protein shake, after that intense 5 minute workout he then proceeds to talk for a half hour with his cut off shirt and then leaves the gym. im just wondering if my gym is just really gay or are these people every where you go?

    They are every where, I have one at my gym(weightlifting) and BJJ gym he comes once a week and says can you watch (insert joint here) I am injured then he procedes afterwards to tell us stories of how many people he has tapped or beat up. So dont worry they are every where and in every gym and every type of gym

    lol pelly, i think every gym has atleast 10+ of these types. its so annoying cuz they r a waste of space and just stand infront of machines bsing. idiots, if ur gonna chit chat go where theres no equip. near to get in the way of the next guy trying to do his routine.

    It's a social club for them. Me, I'm there to get my buisness done with. I put on my MP3 player, ignore everyone, and usually do cardio with my eyes closed. I want to be left alone.

    I usually do one set of bench (omit the 1 set of curls), then crack the protein shake and talk for 30 mins. w/my cut-off on.

    C'mon bro... they guy OBVIOUSL wants YOU to have all the ladies! YOU should be THANKING HIM! Shiiit son (like saying that). Why are you so threatened by what other people don't do? Mad that you are working hard and he isn't? Wahhhhh!
    I think you need to focus on your workout, KNOW he is an idiot, and take some of those fuhkitol pills the doc prescribes. lol

    Or listen to paully shore, "Have a cup of java, just chill"

    oh god dont even get me started on these guys, i mean im used to it now, u cant avoid thm, mite as well jus laugh it off, and be happy tht u are actually making something of urself while in the gym. unless of course they;re blocking the machines, tht gets really annoying. but there are ways to avoid thm, i find they seem to usually come in at the same time everyday. so if u go to the gym early morning no chance they'll b there. they're not gonna wake up tht early to do there half-assed worked out. as well, some gyms there's is less of thm, the more expensive gyms for example but im sure u can find atleast one of those guys at every gym. so dont try to run, they will find u

    what's your point? Seems like a good workout plan..


    No seriously there is at least one in each gym but I actually like those guys because they are never in the way.. I wish more people did that.. it is worse when they hog up equipment for hours.. We have one dude in my gym is always bragging that he spends 4 hours a day in the gym and in fact he does.. He does a set and then talks for 15-20 minutes and then loads new weight and talks and then does one set and talks for 15-20 minutes and the whole time saying that he hopes to get out of there by XX time (normally 3-4 hours later).. His bulking diet which he brags about is double cheese burgers from Burger king.. ugh!! enjoy your dude.

    another thing that really pisses me off about my gym is the people who clean it, they clean the gym during hours when people are still there and the fu*king guy with the mop seems to follow me around and mop everything around what im doing even tho there might only be like 5 or 10 other people in the gym

    I work out in my school gym!

    Have you ever been to a university gym....

    Its basically all of these guys put into one room with girls who put on way to much makeup before they come to the gym, then proceed to get on the treadmil. When they start sweating, their face melts...its kinda funny to watch.

    There's 2 guys that come to my gym. They've been going there since I started in sept 2004.
    I've never seen them put on any bodyweight. They still lift the same amount of weight today that they did 18 months ago.
    meanwhile I've added 15kg of bodyweight and 60kg on my deadlift, 40 on bench and 60 on my squat =D

    I love the guys who manage to mis-use every machine and use their own freestyle technique on freeweights. Then they get all huffy if you try to help them.

    Yeahh plenty. They always seem to follow me around and ask how many sets i have left each time i start on another exercise

    No it is not my daughter but my girlfriends daughter. I wrestle with her a little and flip her around with my legs etc..just little Jiu-Jitsu things..i show her positions and let her beat me up. She cant say Jiu-Jitsu though, more like "Goo-Getoo". She is adorable.

    I got another pic i will post sometime where she is wearing my gloves and making a mean face..it rules.

    This was a staredown from awhile back, if i remember correctly, she TKOd me and the ref (her mom) had to pull her off me.
