You can convert pounds to kilos in your head

Your warm up is everyone else’s max

You love the sound of barbells and weight plates crashing to the floor

You are always covered in chalk dust

People move out of the squat rack when you walk into the gym

You don’t go out on a Friday night because you have to train Saturday morning

You grunt loudly on your last rep

You have massive glutes

Your friends call you ‘beast’

You are unbelievably bored on rest days

You never do more than five reps of anything

Unless it’s twenty-rep squats

You automatically stop what you are doing and shout encouragement when anyone in the gym is going for a big lift

You enjoy showing off your callouses

When you walk past a mirror you drop into a squat, just to check

You get nervous on heavy days

You have constant scrapes on your shins

Other people tell you their max lifts and watch for your reaction

You think football players are skinny, rugby forwards are normal size and strongmen are ‘big’

Other people think you are ‘big’

You care more about your max squat than your max bench

Your starter is everyone else’s main course

You have torn at least one item of clothing while training

Jackets that are allegedly in your size don’t fit you

You see a tyre and want to flip it

‘Sumo’ is a type of deadlift not a Japanese wrestling sport

You are more impressed by a big back than by a big chest

You always want to put more weight on the bar!

..when your wife asks you if you liked what she cooked for dinner you give her three white lights.

..when you sit down to take a shit you automatically check your depth.

..when you mow your lawns you use a mixed grip.

..when you hook grip your shopping bags.

..when you show people your hands and they tell you to get gloves, you just give them the :-s look

..when you have sex you count it as GPP and think to yourself, "hmm this will teach me to bring my hips through better"

Group of you go out for dinner (or takeaways) and you give your order to the waiter/ress and she/he goes, "Is that for everyone sir?" and you reply..."No, thats just for me!"

:lol::lol::lol:

Years ago my mentor was good mates with Colin Cox and we went to a steakhouse and I have never seen a human being eat so much. He ate for everyone and their families!

Good Stuff worthy on every gym walllaughing.gif

http://www.powerhousegym.co.nz/news_humour.htm

Some crack up ones on Powerhouse Gym's website.

Just a few of them...

You might be a Powerlifter if:

- you can't count above 5 & can multiply by 44 from memory.

- whenever a non Power lifting friend moves house you are the first person they call to help with moving heavy things !!

- you think torn track pants, an old sweaty t-shirt advertising a garbage company and slippers are appropriate gym attire.

- most people in the gym don't like you.

- if you go into a fitness club filled with babes, say " nice rack " and the rack your looking at says " NEBULA" and not " Victoria's secret "

- when the word " gear " refers to squat suits, bench shirts, wraps, belts etc.. not steroids.

- when the amount of weight you lift is more important than how cleanly shaven your legs are or how dark your tan is.

- you think the wonder bra is a new bench press aid.

- when the gym owner kicks you out for bending yet another bar while squatting.

- you check squat depth while using the john.

- your idea of cardio is running from the power rack to the closest garbage can after a heavy set of squats so you don't puke on the carpet.

- when asked by a doctor for a blood sample you show him your shins.

- the doctor tells you need more iron in your diet so you throw in another set of lock-outs.

- you use a 1kg plate as a paper weight at work.

- you have baby powder in your gym bag

- you think a 16oz steak is a snack to have between meals.

- your idea of " going to the bar " means its your turn for the next set of heavy squats.

- you think creatine is a food group.

- 2 out of 3 isn't so bad.

- you steal you girlfriends baby powder before Deadlift day

- you get black eyes from squat day

- if the greeting " good morning " makes your lower back and hammies sore

- if you insist of lifting one end of your friends piano by yourself on moving day just to see if you can do it

You're eating less than 100gms of carbs/day, you're supposed to be a bodybuilder and you still think 5am is a good time of the day to test your strength on the big 3.

Not only powerlifters are strength addicted.

Yea that's nuts. What kind of an idiot would do that? :P

:shock: lol
