Gym wierdos

At my gym there's two fulla's that I'd call posers, although I can't be too critical as they both lift more than I do -

Fulla #1 : wears his sunnies in the gym, always. Maybe he has particularly sensitive eyes, but it still raises a big red douchebag flag IMO

Fulla #2 : after every set, regardless of the muscle group he's targeting, he lifts up his singlet to check out his abs in the mirror. And I mean after every set. He seems to always smile and nod at himself when he's doing it too

haha classic, i sort of have a "disliking" rather than hatred towards people who wear hats in the gym, i just dont get it

same thing here!! my friend who does it says he uses it to keep the sweaty long hair maintained, fair enough. weird but not as much as a headband.

still, most guys who come in with one don't actually work up a sweat lol - this one guy in particular really pisses me off because his one is blingy chrome style. reflective as hell and he walks around a lot so get this stupid distracting reflection from mirrors every time he passes by. the strangest thing is that on his way out he takes it off...

But don't you train at home??? :?

The mind boggles

[tomleegolf]

I used to but now Im at Profiles gym in Rotorua. Thinking of getting me a snapback for the 10kg carryover on the bicep curls and the anabolic effects on protein synthesis while wearin this piece of equipment

[Rxx]

You have to wear it backwards though, to get the correct aerodynamics for aesthetic bicep curl.

Hat on tilted low between sets + headphones = less people try to talk to me 8)

U popular or something bro?

[drizzt]

Nah, the Powerlifters at the House turn the gym into a social club when there are too many of us (or certain members coughtrapfatcough) around

[tomleegolf]

Merry crizzle, Drizzle my nizzle

[drizzt]

And I was having enough trouble understanding Tommy Lee Jones there :x

I saw a middle aged guy today spend 30 minutes doing cartwheels across the gym floor, headstands and then rather impressively bad spinning type kicks in a heavy bag. Not to mention the killer Krav Maga guy who wears camo trousers to the gym and spends an hour finger poking heavy bags and looking very serious

I have no idea what they was doing but hilarious all the same.

[DCYPL]

I have a few I can remember.

1: A new kid. Skinny, looked to be about 15 - 16. He lay on the leg curl machine, face up, put his feet under the foot rest and was trying to do abbs...I think.

Our lying leg curl machine is bent to allow the natural curver your body wants when curling them hami's!! So imagine him, face up, bent at a weird angle, trying to lift his legs...

I politely told him "Bro, youre doing it wrong"..after getting a good giggle in

2: All the young kids all of a sudden. Same age as the above. Usually in large groups therefore taking up a lot of time on the same machines. Never making progress because they never want to try too hard, always going for the easy lift. Cant be showing my straining face mannnn!!

[karm015]

why you hating on the newbies

surely you were doing retarded stuff when you were 15/16

No. Not really?

I was nice about it to the 'using the machine' wrong guy.

But the gourpies are starting to piss me off. Mainly because the talk loud, act cool, google girls and dont lift...

Most of the time I have my headphones in and just look down, or in the mirror

[Shutupandsquat]

Lol yeah those kids are pretty loud. They spend most the time pinching each others nipples, actually.

lmao what gym is that?

[severe]

The indian guy who puts on a weight belt for the leg press. Fully loaded with 20kg plates.

Does partial reps that I reckon would move the foot plate 6 inches.

Gets off, looks proud. Adjusts belt in mirror.

He doesn't talk to me nw as I give him shit everytime (the same guy who gets a workout as a spotter by lifting half the weight)

[karm015]

oh yeah, those guys are really gay, pretty annoying when you forget your headphones at work. newbies are ok, but groupies... :naughty:

they prance around talking all kinds of shit while making sure the volume is high enough for everyone in the gym to hear them. then they stand in the mirror lifting their singlet up to gaze lovingly at their abs... then look around to make sure other people are watching

Lol @ gaze lovingly at their abbs These guys dont have any...YET but at the rate they work!! They shall prevail...in 10 years.

I was doing legs and again, they were 'grouping' around the machines and blocking the walk ways. Since my legs were falling off I was NOT keen to walk the long way around...so I just walked through them...they made like the red sea

At my gym we call them Indian reps lots of noise little movement.

Dude, it's such a real stereotype. Amazing, but true.

One of the 'groupies' lastnight made my head shake slowly in dismay.

There was a younger girl, maybe 16ish trying the bench. Had maybe some 5lbs plates on each side and someone was giving her hints.

So, groupie comes over, a curly haired Mr Burns look alike. Picks up the bar and starts curling it, while looking into her eyes, the whole time. He was struggling hard but no facials, of course!

He got through maybe 5, then put it down and proceeded to do a teenage hand shake, the clap, slide and clinch. FULLY messed it up...then stood there like Superman, hands on hips and all.

When he left, the girls face was like, "what the...." hahaha

LOL is this a true story? Sounds too funny to be true, that guys the man excluding the strange creepy pedo aspects of it all.
