Douchbags at the gym!

[j_dawg]

Whats up everyone!

O.k I'm a skinny guy and just started going to the gym. I come across these 2 BUFF guys. They look at how much I lift and start laughing!!! I said in a nice way "How long have you guys been lifting" One of the douch bags says "Just started" and gives me this face like he's worth a million bucks. Anyone came across people like this in the gym?

The real buff guys in my gym don't even look around to see what other people are doing, they r so focused on what they are doing.

Have never seen anyone do anything like that before.

I'm not huge but I've trained for around 5 years and I'm always humble and helpful to new people who are starting out. I think all people should be

[Rebel101]

All the time, just made me all the more determined to do better !

Don't worry the real lifters in the gym know that we all started somewhere and do not judge those just starting out, if anything we go out of our way to help.

[SubZ]

Yea and also in saying that the gym is one of the most judgemental places you will ever step into

[Spacebound]

Ive never noticed this sort of behaviour tbh. All the big guys are usually in the zone or a happy to give tips or whatever. 

 

Just keep lifting bro and end up showing them what heavy means

[2fierce]

We all were beginners at some stage. Some blessed with dark skin/ more pc genetics. The true heavy metal guys and gals will always go out of there way to help. Just wait until we finish our set. Also, seek advice you be surprise how easy going we are. Keep on lifting don't think buff, but mutant size.

the monsters in my gym World health & fitness Invercargill  are some of the nicest most helpfull people ive ever meet at gym, just dont try to talk to them when they in da zone or just picked up some heavy ass weight,

some the top grade rugby players that train there on the other hand have there heads so far up there own arses im surprised they can see the weights

[j_dawg]

I just started at the gym. It was just these 2 buff guys. I doubt everyone is like that, not trying to sound like a bit*ch but for someome whos skinny as heck and being around buff guys. It can be intimitading..... Love these forums though! 

[jimmybro1]

My experiences are the people that don't lift (starting out) and much bigger doches than the people that have been at it for a while. 

I should film some of the antics at my gym would be quite assuming. 

[Terrymundo]

sorry to hear this bro. it does seem abit odd that the big guys acted like this, my experience has always good with advanced lifters. to build a top physique it takes years and years and someone with an ego/personality like that rarely goes the distance. dont get hung up on it, just stay focused and consistant

[2fierce]

Filming some antics in a gym would be hilarious.

lol. I just started going but we have this group of like 5 guys that will take a bunch of dumbbells and just sit around the box jump area. They talk for a long time and crack jokes while people are waiting and pissed off

[Realtalk]

What gym?

[SubZ]

Yea im keen to see some gym antics lol

You go to the world ngapuhi? I used to go there but just recently moved to advanced gym

Btw 5 guys is way to much to train together lol. 3 at the absolute most otherwise ya waiting too long between sets, youll loose ya pump

Snap fitness

[ngapuhi strong]

sure do subz

[Realtalk]

Snap fitness where, there is like 100 snap fitness gyms

[teamfatboy]

You'll get tools with attitude, often unjustified, in any gym... but the really strong folk, or the really committed bodybuilders,  are (my experience) more likely to be approachable (in between sets ) 

Have a look at what they're actually doing - bet it's not as impressive as it should be for all their talk!
