Aaaanyway, steering the conversation back away from Gymrat for a brief moment...

 

Last night I was finishing a chest workout. I was doing cable crossovers, superset with pushups. I finished my pushups, stood up, and saw a chick starting to dismantle one side of the cable crossover machine. I indicated that I was actually still using it and smiled - it was just a simple misunderstanding, no biggie.

The normal response would be to smile back and apologise. Not this chick. She rolled her eyes, and angrily muttered, "f*ck sakes."

I presume she was annoyed because the gym was busy and she couldn't get the machines she wanted. But that's not my problem, and it's definitely not my fault!

I'm still stunned at the rudeness. What do you reckon? Did I get roidraged at by a chick?!

 

Yep - you got roidraged (although in fairness maybe she was just hungry?).  Even I'm not THAT rude.  Maybe she should train when it's quieter and she can have ALL the equipment to herself?!

I'm not an arrogant prick in person, maybe sometimes online. But numerous people at my gym, they want to talk about powerlifting now that they know I do it when I train. I don't mind this but mo

she probably thought your smile was rapey and that you were creeping on her.

There was nothing remotely rapey about my smile. The casual fondling that accompanied it though... (I kid - she wasn't that hot, just angry!)

 

You need to work on being a little more shy and reserved. And stop telling everyone your arms are famous. haha!

Dick. You need to put up or shut up. :P

On Sunday I saw a dude at the cable station set up the pair of stirrups at the lowest height, lay on his back and struggle for a minute or two to hook his feet into them (well they are called stirrups right?), and grab the v-rope from the other end, and proceed to do tricep pushdowns.  He may have thought he was doing some kind of advanced level crunches but his shoulders seldom left the ground so the only thing moving the v-rope stack was tricep extension.

 

Not a single staff member earned their pay that day.

lol true true.  I didn't take the 'human' factor into account.

 

It should be mandatory for new gym memebers to take a 'before' photo.  If they look the same after 6 months they should start listening to people who look good.

This good looking fella came in to our gym today and wanted to use a 7 day trial pass while he was on holiday.  Had to turn him away as he was shredded to the days so I knew that he had been pumping iron. Had to decline him as he was actually a member of another gym. He left shouting "just bring it auckland" and I thought that made me very mad.
