Thread: Anybody else get irritated by people watching you workout?

I'd start by getting over myself. Just go in there and do your thing. Who cares if people stare. Of course they are going to when you're putting up 300+ on bench and they are struggling with 135.

Part of the game bro.

It's hard to get over yourself when you're me. I'm the shit. I just wish people wouldn't act like they didn't already know this.

But seriously, it makes me more uncomfortable than a first date.

Try to get a raging hard-on and point it to them....I.E. while doing bench make sure it's pointing up, then just walk past them.
Bonus if you "accidentally" rub against them.

Exactly... I deal with this because I'm a monster. People stare. Ask if I compete. Yadda yadda yadda. My question is... How much do you think they are going to watch on those 450+ bench press?

GICH!

once in a while i stare right back while benching or shruggin. they get all weird after 25 seconds of me straining and glaring at them at the same time lol.

im an asshole though too. i lose it on the assholes that have their headphones cranked and dont hear how LOUD they slam the fucking weights on the rack. it makes me jump and shrugging 300+ or benching 400+ i DO NOT need to be jumping!

i got one guy that waches everything i do and when i done doing a certain workout he goes over to attempt the same weight and fucks himself off so its its annoying but is also for entertainment for sure

That's some funny shit but it does piss me off but at the same time they like what they see I love when the girls are looking makes me do more lol

Thats why i go early . Im at the gym at 4 am on days i work and at 8 am on my days off. Im on trenzilla right now so i need to aviod people anyway. Another thing I hate is when someone comes over to you and ask for advice . Im like FUCK!

the people staring thing dosent bother me. the only thing that bothers me is when kids ask me what I take and what they should take. and then of course the most annoying thing is when I get a text or a facebook message saying '' hey can u write me up a workout program and a diet program and what to take to . .. .. yea rite motherfucker and you know me how ? lol

Yeah, the other day I noticed it and laughed out loud. LOL. Is that a Jersey Shore quote?

I got asked all the time if I do steroids - are you a cop?- are you x-milatary? just the look I guess --the ALPHA MAIL look. whats it matter,Its a complamint.now that im on the fertalizer I look too what the fuck happend to those ARMS!!!!!

lol at some of these answers...you guys kill me. I realize logically it shouldn't be that big of a deal, but I'm always in the back of my head wondering if I'm making the whole gym smell like weed...or if I sprayed too much axe...or if my gym attire is appropriate. JK about that last one. Once I'm a few sets in it's a lot easier to tune everybody out and get in the zone, but getting to the gym and going to my first station of the workout I always feel everyone staring and sizing me up.

But my favorite part is when old guys come over and are like..yeah when I was your age I looked about like you do.....yeah right you old lazy bastard.

I love that shit...I had a guy ask me though the other day if I was taking "horse steroids"...I was thinking not yet but maybe on my next cycle lol. I take it as they are trying to learn and like the way you look..they maybe thinking if I do that then ill look like that...I just give them a little nod and say...yeah that's right...217lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal coming through

The same old guy who dries his nuts using the fan in the locker room so everyone can see

Even a Not Big like myself gets checked out. Even had a noob come up to me this week asking for advice.

Why should I get annoyed man, its understandable...

Nah Bruice from GTA IV.



Little bro was telling me how i go on like him sometimes with the constant working out.

I can only imagine how pro BBers must feel on a daily basis. I have done well with resisting the urge to stare back or say something to the extent of "Can I help you?", but I already know what they're thinking, and I don't want to perpetuate their perception of 'roid rage'. I can only imagine how much of a dick I'd have made of myself by now had I been running tren. How do you guys deal with this shit?

When your jacked and throwing around lots of weight, it comes with the territory. Personally, I just ignore everyone in the gym and do my thing. They all probably think I'm a complete a**hole, but that is fine by me.

Why would it annoy you that people look at you? They are just wanting to learn, when i first started lifting i looked at all the big guys also, im sure you guys read what real monsters are doing, its just a learning thing, now that i am big i enjoy people recognizing it and asking for pointers, and im only on my first real cycle, i weigh 250 15 pct body fat naturally, cant wait to get extra jacked up from the gear

Not really... What i hate is people interrupting a good set tryin to small talk or ask advice on something.. Would it be rude to wear a shirt that says.. "Caution don't fucking talk to me Im trenned out and fucking hungry"?
