I know. The middle of winter, a cold, dark night with rain pissing down... and the gym is crowded like it's the pre-Christmas rush. That's not how it's supposed to work - they should have all lost interest by now.

Good on them for getting into it, of course. But I'm NOT impressed. :evil:

EDIT: Unless they're also reading this website, in which case they're clearly awesome.

yeah heaps more people. hate to admit it but a lot of it is probably a chain reaction from that zyzzmeister. heaps more people working out in aus, heaps more people talking about it on social media/posting up photos and showing gym as the 'cool' thing to do (even if most people just GO there and don't DO anything) = more sheeples mucking around our gyms. good though that more genuine interest is also starting to kick up again at least in bodybuilding (well at least in 'figure'/'bodysculpting')

This. I think Zyzz was a douche, a funny ripped to shreds douche :P

But his effect on this younger generation is a good thing. I hope they dont ALL go to rave partys in stubbys dancing like that have a rod up their arse though.

I was actually just talking about this with my younger sister lastnight. She is 16, and she has noticed on her facebook people Swift and Zyzz are being shared, while her male friends are all hitting the gym. Tis a good thing, accept when I want what they are using at the gym.

Lastnight, some dikead just sat on the incline bench for ages chatting on his phone, laughing loudly like a teenage girl, lying all over the place...I wanted to drop a 50kg dumbell on his nuts

If people are genuinely at the gym to workout good on them. Some people are just their for social reasons which really grinds my gears especially when they are "using" a piece of equipment that I'm wanting to use.

Generally I just work around them.

A group the other day for example spent a good part of an hour in the squat rack posing in photos with a horse head on, and instagramming the photos and talking about which filters to use and how many "Likes" they will get on Facebook as well as how "keen" the girl on the hack squat is.

Try and change the time you go, hard with some jobs I know.

I usually try and get to the gym at mid morning, and unless there is a visiting sports team the gym is usually pretty quiet until lunchtime rush comes.

Other wise i go 230/3 and same thing.

the gym may as well be turned into a club for faggots

Not sure if trolling or just a very angry person. Every post of yours seems to be crap like this.

Not sure if gay, but he's pretty much right when it comes to Les Mills. lol

Gotta be careful not to drop anything when you're on the gym floor!

Working next to the Les Mills carpark for 5 weeks just recently I saw plenty that would appeal to the not-gay nightclub crowd.

a visiting sports team

I trained with the French rugby team the other day. Les Bleus were heavily disguised - they were all wearing red shirts, which for extra confusion had been printed with the word "ORANGE"... but they couldn't fool me.

It was actually quite interesting to see how they trained. Some very decent squatting going on there!

Something positive ++

So, my younger sisters live with me. 14 and 16. They both have friends that go to the gym. Well mainly the older sister but anyway...

I used to get pissed off at them, thinking they know me ect. I walked passed and one said (Thinking my headphones were on)..."Hey Awatea's brother.......whoa what a snob" lol...and one guy said to her at school, "You brother is strong! His form is a bit off though..." from a 16 year old twig who pendulums when he curls :P

BUT! Overtime, some have come and gone. MOST of those who remain actually train. One girl even has a strain face now and her hair gets out of place!! And one lil dude is making some good gains. FINALLY! Here to train, and not mingle

Training tonight was so fustrating. Felt like everyone at my gym had been replaced with noobs

Loaded up the bench with 4pps, went around the back of the bench to put some chalk on my hands. Noob with 25lb barbell on his back starts box squatting onto the bench. I'm like excuse me can u take a few steps forward mate. Oh are you using the bench? No I like to load it up with plates for fun :clubbed:
