Big_J Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 ever since i have joined this new gym (westwave fitness centre) all i seem to get is weird looks from members, it really pisses me off especially when you catch them staring at you and you give them a wave and they just totally ignore you or turn away.. are people just pricks? or what? do others have this problem? or have experienced it before?this isnt just the members but the staff there aswell.

MasterTel Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'd take it as a compliment, Big_J - they are most likely envious of your physique and/or your training prowess. The looking away bit is probably just them getting embarassed that you caught them checking you out.Hey - when they don't even notice you, then you should be offended!

Cammo Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've seen Big_J training... everytime he finishes a set he drops his DB's on the ground & yells out "LIGHT WEIGHT BABY, YEAH!".This may be why people stare :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFreddy Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 i think is a good thing,feed off it too!i liked going to gyms for a casual workout ,having ya program set,and feeding off the ppl watching you as you hit set after set with massive weights with no resting and 100% form,then walking out after only about 30 mins max!lol some times i think ppl were still standing in the same place from when the workout startedgo hard big J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUSCLEROIDS Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 My wife sits around 7-8% body fat and now that summer is here she hates wearing short or sleeveless tops when we go out. Even going to the supermarket she gets stared at and sly comments made behind her back from all kinds of people. For some reason people do not like to see women with muscles or just a bloody good body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evie Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 It's a compliment! Come on, you don't work out not to be looked at! At least you're not being looked at cause you're out of shape! Of course it depends on the type of looking and who's looking - having every move watched by the gym weirdo is not cool! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah - once again it will be a case of the "green-eyed monster" ... if the looks or comments are from a women she will be jealous of her (i.e. wishing she looked like your wife) - from a guy it will be that they are pissed off that their wife doesn't look like yours! :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudoc5 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 i think that theres two types of people who will stare. those who look at you and admire your physique and what you have achieved.they usually approach you and ask for advice or they'll keep looking at your techniques and learn from you.or complement youthen we have those f@#kwits who just stare at you,then turn around and tell their mates that they don't want to be too muscley just becos thier jeleaus of you. that really pisses me off sumthing cronic and gets me fired up for more 400ib squats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamWelly Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I can handle people staring in the gym. I take it as a compliment. I do the same when I see someone who has a good training style, and I want to pick up some tips. I cant handle some of stares I get in public though, or the yelling from car windows, or woman in their mid 40s grabbing my arms, or the "I reckon I could take you cuz I used to do karate/boxing/some sport that makes me sound tough 5 years ago, and If I hadnt hurt my hand/leg/toe then I would have been a national/world/ego champ" line I get in town. The pretty girls are a bonus tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
