I was in the gym this morning doing cardio for an hour and you get to see a lot of stupid crap that goes on!

Last week and to this day, here are some of the things that I think suck or is stupid!

Squats: Dropping a whole 3 inches!

Smith Machine and braggarts!: Bragging about the weight you push for Bench, squats and military press etc.

Stiff legged Deadlifts. Dropping another 4 inches! Ooooohhh... that's tough!

BTW, this poll IS multiple Choice!!!!

I had 22 45lbs plates to undo on the leg press machine and those who use the leg press machine usually stack them next to the leg press machine... well, I usually strip them down really face, mind you, put them down nicely.....

Some fuk'n dweeb was on a frontal (MMAFITER description

) leg press nautilius type legs opposite of me and he had 4 45lbs plates and THREW them down and they were rolling around. I was WAITING for one of them to HIT ME!!!!!!

Smith Machine= SM

SM bench/5 sets
SM incline Bench/4 sets
SM Military Press/ 3 sets
SM behind the neck Military press/ 2 sets
SM Upright rows/ 3 sets

That Fuk'n BASTARD!

SM BB curls (Don't ask but he did do them!

) 4 sets

It's funny you say that. This afternoon during my workout, one of the New Years Day people was doing a smith machine squat. It stated on the smith machine "NO SQUATTING"

It is actually posted by the designer of the smith machine and it is stamped in the metal. I guess that type, which is not straight up like others, but leans forward on an angle and my guess the manufacturer is covering their ass incase something happens. It is not like this one Click Here The one we have in my gym leans forward at an angle. I can't find a pic for it but when I go to the gym later today I will take note of the brand name. That type in my gym for whatever reason was not made for squating.

I think I now know what type of SM your referring to! I've seen it. That makes sense! People do Squats on that machine! Hee Hee.. No wonder they come off with their backs slightly hurting!

1. People who chit chat on their cells while on machines...which they aren't even using.

2. Construction boot guys.

3. People who stare in the mirrors more than they work out.

4. "Diet" talk in the locker room or else where..."I'm being so good I only had ONE piece of bread, etc;"

5. People with over inflated egos in the gym who look down on others who are not on their same level (hey every one was a beginner once)

Construction boot guys.... now that's funny!

we all have people in our gym that wouldnt move their ass from the machines. they would rest on it for 5 minutes. hello!!!! i can do 3 sets by the time your resting!

Posted by: firestorm

Posers for sure. It was for that reason that I have been plagued with a serious back injury since 1989. There was this mutha F#$en Azz who had absolutely nothing going on in the muscle department that would take his shirt off in the middle of the gym and start flexing in the mirrors. On my 1st "run in" with this azz, I was doing squats with 625. My spotter behind me standing very close (as he should be),, Azz comes skipping through the Leg room with his shirt off and in hand as he bumped into my spotter who in turn bumped into me causing my upper body to go parellel with floor. Not thinking (forgot about the safety bar) I struggled to bring the weight back up and rack it. Well immediately my back was in spasms. If I could have moved I would have killed him.
a week or so later (back still screwed) I was doing seated overhead presses. I had my lifting partner spotting me when what do you know,, Azz comes skipping into that area. did a set of something or another and OFF CAME THE SHIRT!!! Here I am doing my last set with a weight over 250. My partner is looking at Azz posing and laughing at him. While I suddenly find myself stuck at the bottom going for that ONE "extra" rep. and NO spotter paying attention. Well I'm yelling at him to give me a "F"ing hand as he pulls it back up to rack. I lumber to a standing position (back problem ya know),, and ask him what the hell he was doing. He appologizes and says he was distracted by AZZ. Well that was the final straw. I ran over to that JackO$$ and slapped the S#$t out of him. Grabbed him by his skinny neck and plastering him against his posing mirror screamed more obsentities at him then then Linda Blair in the movie Excorist. I told him if he EVER came back to the gym I'd kill him. Needless to say he sold his membership.
To this day I still have problems with my lower back because of that S.O.B. and it ruined my bodybuilding future. I was 260 back then with a 29 inch waist. After that injury, it got progessively worse over the next few months that I had to stop training completely for several years until a specialist got me back in the game but I'll never be 100%

Posted by: david

OMG! And that's all you did to him? That's some scary shit moving that weight and having some bozo like that screwing you up! That is COMPLETELY messed up! DaMn!

Posted by: david

OK, this stumpy dude that wears blue jeans (not even the cool style.... wrangler and work boots (

), comes in and does Military DB presses and starts with 50 and ends with 70 lbs. His Butt is fat and dumpy-big and his neck is like a turtle. He walks slow like a turtle and stares at women........

NOW that's a fucking GOON!

Posted by: firestorm

I swear Dave If my back didn't feel like it did then, I probably would have hurt him. After he left, I think I crumbled in a cold sweat. the pain was unbelievable. After I jacked him up off the ground, My back went nuts. Horrible. I don't even like thinking about it.

Posted by: david

What gym do you go to or did you go to that allows you to sell the membership? Bally's??

Posted by: firestorm

Ballys??? Me??? hahaha no it is a local gym here in Hamilton Township. Hamilton Fitness Club. Awesome gym. that is the one i was speaking about. I also belonged to Gold's gym in Princeton and worked at Golds Gym in Langhorne PA(owned by Ron Jaworski ex Eagle QB). Roof caved in so it no longer exists. (I lived in PA for a few years after I was married. I'm back in jersey though.

Do they have sauna, jacuzzi's and steam room along with a basketball court etc.? Are they a member of HRSA?? Or is it that IRSA now?

Posted by: firestorm

I couldn't tell you if they are a member Dave I've been out of there since 1990. they had raquetball and a bunch of tanning beds. no basketball,or jacuzzi there was a sauna though.

Posted by: david

How much was your membership??

Posted by: firestorm

Dave, I don't remember. Bro over 12 years ago. monthly membership was around $45.00. Signup I think was approx $250.00. It probably changed by now.

Posted by: Rissole

Sorry Dave but i'm a bit of a poser

(as long as it's not excesive, or the person doing it looks like shit but just cant see it)
There's no better time to look at yourself than when your pumped up

and isn't that why we lift weights, to look good??
And i'm a bit of a screamer too

(well more like heavy grunting to a bit of an ahhhhhhh

)
If you dont make noise your not trying hard enough !!

I friken hate people that dont rerack, but even more so people that do but mix all the plates up... friggen dig through 3 x10kg to get to a 15 when if they reached 1ft they could put them with the other 10's

Posted by: firestorm

Well there is a difference when talking about looking at yourself in a mirror in the gym. I have no problem with folks using the mirrors in the "gym" to monitor form and also when you have the pump up to check the muscle your working to look for lagging muscle groups or to see where you need more work. For example, you do chest. It's pumped as it would be prior to walking out onto a stage if you compete, now is the best time to really take a look at it for areas that need improvement. Maybe you need more diet to get some striations or maybe more bulk etc. BUT,,, you can always tell those types of athelets from the ego driven geeks who are looking to admire themselves. That is best suited in a posing room(if you belong to a good gym they have one as mine did) or your bedroom/bathroom mirrors. Keep in mind,, nobody likes a showoff and if your seeing yourself in a mirror in the middle of the gym I can rest assure,, others see too and it's a big turnoff.

If your built nice, your viewed as a showoff. If your an intermediate/moderate trainer you viewed as a total D*#K.

Stinky smelly people goes with the territory. Your at a gym not a Health Spa or a Ballys Fitness club that are geared more towards the yuppies and weekend warriors. A real hardcore gym is supposed to smell like sweat. That is old school, hardcore training atmosphere and I have no problems with it. You stink that means your sweating.

Posted by: firestorm

Geeks that cheat on reps and Squats also come to mind when I picture it "used" to really annoy me until I put things in proper perspective. Those people suffer from one of 2 things. 1 they were never shown proper form and just don't know how to perform the excercise and someone should take a moment to explain the correct form as I used to do. or B. They are the immature idiot trainee who "swears" that those 1/8 reps are making him huge with that 405 on the bar. You can tell them how to perform the excercise but they will continue their stupid form. I see it this way,, less compitition for me. They will stay worthless and weak while I will be big and huge. I say,, change your attitude as I did many moons ago. Keep your head on YOU and your training partner if you have one. Do not concern yourself with the surroundings and what someone else is doing. It only aggrivates you and THAT takes away from your workout.
I had mentioned in another post how I went nuts on a POSER it wasn't because he was being a dork but because his actions took the attention away from my spotter and I got stuck. I was hurt because of him, thus he felf my wrath for that reason. Oh and also for running in the gym bumping my spotter while I was squatting which caused my initial back injury. the same Jacko#@ got me twice. So I had enough of him.

Posted by: firestorm

Ok, my favorite,,, People who stare. That one I like. Those staring are staring for a reason. they are impressed by something your doing or trying to copy your form. That is a compliment no matter how you look at it. We workout to be fit and to look good. We also do like positive attention from others so here you go.... your getting what you asked for. Be happy they are looking at you unless your that "poser" I spoke about earlier. Then you better run and hide in humiliation ya geek.

Posted by: firestorm

Screamers. Ok I am split on this one. People screaming is not necessary and it's distracting to others who are trying to concentrate on their workout session. Be considerate and keep the noise down. Besides that,, Screaming releases too much air from your lungs at too quick a rate during a rep. That "scream" isn't helping you its hurting you. On very HEAVY squats for example, I actually hold my breath at the hardest point in the up portion of the rep. If I screamed, I'd die. When on the 8th rep with 405 oh hell yea there may be a grunt or two at the top while getting the nerve to go for one more but never a "scream" Again, even my grunts are in rythem with my breathing cadence. Learn to breath correctly and you CAN'T scream.
As for my being "split" as stated on my 1st line, I'm against screaming for reasons said but "for" grunting in a controlled fashion.

Posted by: firestorm

People not putting Dumbells or plates away. I don't know about this one cause it just doesnt' happen around here. Even our worst, annoying gym members and that damn "poser" you all now know about put their stuff back or they are told to do so, if not by the staff then by other members. None of us put up with that. I belonged to over 10 gyms in my lifetime and not once did any of them have a problem with those people. Maybe it's a Jersey thing but we speak up. I will not stand there waiting for a bench or whatever and the guy before me walk away without unloading it. If doing a set a the Dumbell racks I see someone leave a set of 45's on the floor,, I'd finish my set and then go get him and tell him to put them away. I tell you to talk to your gym management about putting up a rules and regulation board at your gym stating that anyone caught leaving Dumbells out or plates on the floor etc will be suspended for 1 week on a 1st offense and 2 weeks on a 3nd and so on. Trust me after a few suspensions the bad habbits go away quickly. Word gets around.

Posted by: firestorm

I despise when people throw their dumbells down when they are done with a set. It's total disregard for the gyms equipment. I don't know how many sets of dumbells my 1st few gyms had to replace plates on those DB's that were made of the multiple plates held on the bar by the Hex bolt. Outer plates were cracked and pieces broken off. that is total bullshit and those people should be held responsible for replacing them. Again,, I saw that ignorance come to an end when Like stated earlier several of my gyms posted that anyone caught dropping dumbells were suspended and if they broke one, would have to pay for thier repair. I've again intervened on several occasions when I saw this occur because most gyms have the rubber floors and those dumbells bounce. I almost was hit in the ankle once and told the azz I would have made him eat it if it hit me. I told him I see him toss another one and I was gonna whoop his azz. that is extreme and don't condone that attitude. You would be better off asking him nicely not to toss them cause someone could get hurt. If he mouths off, tell management. (be sure to LIE and say he hit you with one and you know a good lawyer and if they don't say something to him your making a call). lol

Posted by: firestorm

OK one "other" comes to mind that really irked me. When your working on a piece of equipment with a training partner and 2 other guys come up and ask if they can work in with you. that makes FOUR on 1 excercise which would take 10 minutes before you got to your next set. What morons. Of course I'd always say no and to either wait or pick an alternate excercise. I suggest you do the same or your workout will be effected not to mention your attitude if one of them turns out to be a "poser"

Posted by: firestorm

On a similar circumstance another that annoys me is when someone or people hover over you waiting for a piece of equipment and keep asking you how many sets do you have left. One time is OK. I'll tell them 3 or whatever. If they can't count after that, then they are morons and don't deserve me to count for them. I just ignore them at that point or tell them to go away and I'll come get them when I'm done. I also won't have them hover over me either even if they are being quiet. I tell them to leave their bag or belt whatever with me and I'll put it over the bench when I'm through and come get them. ( of course I'd say it nicely)

I agree with the first part. Azz bumps into your spotter who in turn bumps into you - Azz was the cause. The second time??? What if it was a hottie practicing her posing and you spotter was not paying attention, would you slap her around?? I think you should be upset at your spotter ... the reason he's there is to spot. When he's done spotting, he can watch the clowns, hotties and Azz later. Personally, I would have slapped my spotter.

Well, there are these tow guys who weigh in at 380 lbs... powerlifters with big bellies and they wear winter coats and sweatshirts underneath. They do massive cardio bc/ their switching to BB (supposedly) and they wear the same stinkin' clothes everyday! Believe me, I went 7 days last week and saw them 5 days in the same outfits. They reek, the equipment reeks and in a distance.... you can see where they were or walking from!

That REEKS!

I think my biggest annoyance in the gym is simply people who aren't SAFE when it comes to lifting weights, either putting them away, leaving them around or lifting them wrong.

We have these three new chuckleheads at my gym, one guy who is big, and another skinny boy and skinny girl (we call them the skinny twins). The big guy basically spends all his time telling them what to do. These idiots do decline presses and then with a person still behind them drop the dumbbells on the floor, almost hitting EACH OTHER half the time, which is actually funny. I've had to speak to them once already for making too much noise and leaving stuff around.

My gym is full of yuppies who want to "tone up but not get bulky" who think that one set of alternate dumbbell curls with 15 pounds a side after their spinning class is over is going to make them buffed. It's not bad however, being the only trainer there b/c they have lots of money to spend to hire me to kick their butts!

One of my clients right now is a television director who makes $650 a DAY!

Posted by: I Are Baboon

I voted for all of these. Plus, people who sweat on benches and machines and don't wipe it down then they are done. WTF? They think I want to lie down in their sweat? USE A GOD DAMN TOWEL, PEOPLE!!!

Also, people (usually men) who think that they have to YELL to One another in the gym. Like, they are standing five feet apart, but you can hear their conversation from across the damn weight room. HEY ASSHOLE, LOWER YOUR VOICE BEFORE I PUT MY FOOT IN YOUR ASS!

You forgot about the TUMBLEWEEDS!!!

Those people that roll in after the New Year with some resolution crap about getting in shape, meanwhile hogging machines and weights making it harder for the regulars to complete their workouts...

Fortunately, they eventually go away.

I must go watch wrestling now! BTW, since your "Elite" shall I give you a thread to look at by Prince??? Let me know!

Posted by: Lorraine

I'd have to say what makes me the most ill is when you see couples that suck face the entire time their in the gym.

There's this one couple at my gym where they have to hold hands as they walk from one machine to another. And while he's doing something like leg curls or ab crunches, she's kneeling down next to him playing with his hair or kissing him in between reps.

Some times I want to through a $50 at them and tell them to go get a room!

Yea sure David as long is there isn't any gay stuff there. It may be nice being impotent. Did I say that???

Posted by: firestorm

Huuhooo there is Lorraine one of my arch enemies from Muscle Media.com. They're the group that actually BANNED ME for being an individual and excercising my rights of Freedom of Speech. I see how well I get along with EVERYONE here and visa versa and have come to the conclusion it wasn't me but that those people over at MM.com are a bunch of candy azzez who need to be pampered like little babies and slapped on the back for basically doing nothing and bragging about it. I'm glad I'm here with real atheletes who can take criticism and don't need everything sugar coated. Damn I love you guys!!!! kiss kiss hugg hugg.

Hey Peet,, are you a paying member?

Posted by: Rissole

not yet, probably next week when i sign up to train with Gopro i'll sign up as a member to help support what prince is doin here.
I love this board so much....

Posted by: firestorm

Ok don't think me stupid but I don't know how these boards come about. Did Prince make this site? and why do they charge? Is there overhead to starting and administer a forum? Ok maybe I am stupid so you can think it. hahaha

Posted by: Rissole

No dont think it

From what i can gather Prince started it but has to pay for a internet server (dont ask cause i dont know

)
He used to have a rule that u needed 25 posts before u could see the pics section, so there were alot of nob jockeys getting on here and stuffing up threads just to look at the pics, so payment was the eaistest option to stop that i think
Prince now hosts his own web server so its his living and im cool with that

Good for him that is totally kewel.

Agree with B'Fly most definitely! Lorraine was always helpful to me when I asked her questions and very responsive to me at MM.com!

Sorry to hear about whatever troubles you had at MM.com, Firestorm but let it rest and have a good time here with all of us bc/ we're all friend's here.

Wait! Except when Crash is piss drunk an attempting to post and type!

Posted by: firestorm

OK point taken from both of you (Butterfly and David). But I don't think I worded that correctly above. I was kidding about "Lorraine" being an arch enemy. There are alot of people here from MM.COM including David. I would have said the same about him too (in a joking way) Regardless, My appologies to Lorraine regardless if taken out of context. Lorraine was actually kewel with me over there also.

Isn't if funny how I only posted 1/1000th the amount at MM.com compared to here?

I only posted around 200 and it was all about wrestling and some other things!

Yea David but I must have been a moron over there. To think I thought I could help people there. All I got was conflict everytime I posted a workout suggestion to someone. Well live and learn. this place rocks no comparison.

I see it this way. If it works for you then it may work for someone else. Then again, it may NOT! That's why we call it trial and error! There is no sense disputing something if you haven't tried it for yourself.

I just think it's ridiculous when someone slams another for something wt/ any objective. Of course there are some things that are ridiclous and stupid so therefore, the end result will bring forth argument. But most of those times, the original poster of that topic may not had sufficient evidence or reason to back themselves up.

On the other hand.... there are those who believe in the science of training and that is very understandable too!

I tell ya, BB/Fitness is a tough world out there and pretty much you have to go with your own beliefs, set your own goals and achieve them! If you don't then you know you have to change something.......

I'm outta breath...... enough rambling! :lo: Back to whoring again!

OK Dave here is an example of a point made over there that was argued for days. This falls into the training session but I'm only posting here to show you what I was dealing with over there. Talking about the benifits of Incline bench presses. I made a statement that performing Inclines places the most resistence on the upper chest area. I stated that "of course" the whole chest benifits but the upper chest is the primary target area.
Responses I received were things like; Inclines will not make any difference and you don't need to do them. Flat benches are all you need for a fully developed chest. and the argument started.!!!!!!!!!!!! Next their quoting me incorrectly saying that you can't "isolate" the upper chest which I never said. I wanted to bitch slap someone. That damn thread was like 3 pages long for a simple question.

Oh sure-sure and I know this idiot who hated bodybuilders and think the gym is a waste of time and money. His response to people who bench.

WTF for when all you have to do is push ups!

Does he have a point?

As for Incline bench, I agree with you!!!! I slacked off of incline for awhile and mentally it felt shitty! Also, it seemed softer but I suppose if I did the 30 degree incline bench, that would have remedied the problem.

Here's a great thought! If their senseless then why the fuq did they make dedicated incline benches? To relax on after doing bench movements??

I think you should go over there and pull a Kuso on them!

My Ex-friend was stating that push ups are equal to benching. Scientifically yes, I agree with him BUT it's not going to get you huge!

But according to him huge is stupid and everyone in BB uses steroids!

Now I DON'T TALK TO HIM ANYMORE!

So, everyone is a doctor-know-it-all over there? You never know Firestorm, they could be doctors etc... Do you know their backgrounds? (I'm not defending them keep in mind) Just speaking rationally.

By all means, Oceangurl01.. was your question about low carbs and BB's?

I think w8 said it best somewhere...... We eat out of neccesity and we do it smartly. So the ratio of protein intake to carbs is lower (carbs) but smart carbs at the right time. Although w8 didn't say it like that but I think she said, also...

Eating.... the way of life... NOT diet! I hate that word!

Well, that would depend on you and your goals and what your trying to achieve.

Let's say your at your ideal size and happy with your figure.

Then, there is a cheat day that you should have. However, I wouldn't bombard yourself with the above examples..... throughout the day. There are also substitutes... like frozen yogurt and sugarless cookies (crap!

)

I think Sherry Giardina said it best. Don't fully deprive yourself of food items your crave.. if you must have a cookie, be sure to eat it early on in the day!

Of course if your striving for a goal or competing, I would stay strong and "no" would not EVEN think about eating it/that!

It's all about heart and what you want out of your training. Know the obvious (eating regimen) and don't piss away all of your hard earned gains!

Again, this is my opinion and no, I do NOT compete.......

Someone else may say something different than I! Such a s Firestorm!

Posted by: david

Side note.... ridding sugar completely can be tough but no, I'm not implying that! But it MAKES the difference! Ask w8 on that one and check her online diary!

30-60 mins including warm up. Although some say 60 mins is too much..... so say 45 mins.

BTW, when do you do your weights??

Posted by: oceangurl01

i do weights and abs about 4 times a week and cardio and abs twice a week ( cardio on seperate days) but i warm up for about 10 minutes (cardio) everytime before i do weights.

Posted by: david

If tone and weight loss is what your trying to achieve then, why don't you do a cardio split on your weight days??

For example:

20 mins cardio
Workout
25 mins cardio
abs

But then again, I'm not sure of your stats, bf% etc....

Yesterday morning, I felt like that American Express Commmercial where this guy goes on vacation to this beautful secluded part of the island (Antigua), sets his chair out in the empty beach with no one around, sits in his chair, puts on the sunscreen and kicks back in the chair letting out a big SIGH of relief knowing that he is all alone for awhile. Then, 20 seconds later, this IDIOT comes along and puts his chair right next to his when he has the whole FREAKING beach area to choose from but no, it HAS to be right NEXT to the other guy!

Well, this middle aged-weird assed man HAD to pick a treadmill right NEXT to e when he has 18 others to choose from!

Hi Oceangurl - luv yer handle...

I use to do 40-60 minutes of cardio on an empty stomach as well as 45 minutes of weight training immediately after. Never got to the proverbial "wall" which I believed to be a myth. Unless you are really in a severe caloric intake deficit (more than 500 per day) there is lots of glycogen in the muscle tissue sufficient to sustain us for much longer than even this. I stopped doing this though since I was overtraining and it was reducing my growth results and knocking me out to the point I neded to take a few hours of sleep to recover.

Uh oh... I was ok on most of this till she mentioned #1 and #2 - if she had put it at the end of the list I would have almost passed muster.

I got chewed out by a trainer woman for "sweating" at a gym! Oh my lord - what a crime. She said "sir your shirt is wet and you are sweating!". In my most polite and gentle voice, between catching my breath after reaching a new personal best lat pull down I said "where is the men's area - I think I need to puke"?

Uhm, the farting thing - well sorry but when I have 20 plates on the incline leg press I ain't about to stop in mid-press, stand up and try to make it to the bathroom to vent a wee bit of effervescent protein that’s trying to get out past the rear gaskets. Besides the lil extra thrust could help me get that last rep out. :Sometimes lifting is a community activity...

This happens to us ladies ALL the time.

I hate when the machines/equipment I want to use are being used by somebody who apparantly never finishes.
I hate when some dumbass guy leaves many 45lb plates on the bar or leg press (cuz you know everyday is wrist/forearm day for me

)
I hate when the gym isn't clean. Ours apparantly have one cleaning lady and one cleaning dude. But they don't work all the hours the gym is open.
I hate this fat dude who walks around w. his chest puffed out and his arms out like he's hot yeah ok.
I hate girls who don't know what a sports bra is.
I hate seeing the bodybuilder I used to like/date.
I hate how old men always find themselves on the machine next to me altho the whole upstairs cardio section is EMPTY.
I hate when the mats are full of people sitting around doing nothing/chatting, so I can't stretch out or do abs.
I hate when fat naked old ladies prance around the locker room naked

I hate when I get strange looks for actually knowing how to use the equipment/weights.
I hate when guys try to give me bad advice about lifting.
I hate strippers cuz I am simply jealous.
I hate people who show of their guts w/ a skin-tight shirt or even no shirt just sports bra.
I hate broken equipment that takes months to get fixed/replaced.
I hate skinny guys that walk around with their photocopied magazine workouts.

I am actually amused by grunters/screamers/moaners.

Every time I see this one lady on the treadmill, she does this funny thing where she extends her arms up and at an angle, then bends them back.. she looks like she's trying to direct a plane landing. Cracks me up every time.

Also, the italian dude w/ the huge gold chain thumping against his chest as he runs on the mill. I couldn't keep a straight face.

Oh yeah! You reminded me of one of my issues. The old fart fat men just love to walk around naked and talk to each other and walk up to you and start chatting at close distances. It’s nauseating having to see their small wrinkled prune of a penis bouncing up and down with their fat belly when they laugh about some vulgar joke about one of the younger female gym patrons. The only thing worse is getting to witness a partial sexual response from one of the same when they spot a young buff guy come out of the shower and then run over to tell the same joke all over again. Makes you wonder what kind of guys are around you and it is the reason I do not change in the men's room and opt to come to the gym in my workout clothes.

Uh oh... I am guilty here. One of my very few faults. If I don't leave my gloves in the car and I forget them I have a really really bad day and have all kind of negative thoughts. Rather than remove them from my car I have grown accustomed to replacing the car more often. I know they need to be washed or replaced when my wife refuses to go shopping with me. That means things are really bad.

I hate the stupid empty-headed dancepop music. I hate the fact that the cardio machines face a bank of TV screens tuned to lame offend-no-one reruns, instead of facing the other way -- where there is in fact a nice view of the greenbelt behind the building. I hate the women who think the gym is some sort of display area, and insist on working out in full makeup and reeking perfume. I hate the people who, contrarily, believe that one's gym gear should walk in WITH you from the car, and never wash their workout wear, ever. (Fresh sweat is one thing. Layers of old fermented sweat is quite another.) I hate the people who drip buckets of sweat while they lift, and don't use a towel on the bloody bench. I hate the men who feel they need to impress everyone by hoffing way more weight than they should be with momentum instead of form and the mandatory loud grunts; I don't want to be there when their spines snap in two or a tendon gives way and springs across the room. I hate the women friends who run at a painfully slow jog on side-by-side treadmills for, literally, hours at a time, talking to each other -- the whole time -- about exactly how much food they've eaten, and what, and whether they were "so good this week" or "so bad" as if a chocolate brownie was a sin above murder. I hate the perpetually lean, fit, tanning-bedded people who sneer in a superior fashion at the timid fat person in huge baggy T-shirt and sweatpants breaking a sweat at the second-lowest setting on the treadmill -- way to encourage someone to make a positive lifestyle change. I hate finding parking. I hate that I drive somewhere in order to run like a hamster to nowhere. I hate all the fly-by-nights who come and crowd up the place to no purpose all January and half of February. I hate that the strength machines are packed so close together that you have to risk life and limb to slide into the leg press while someone is using the leg extension machine next door. I hate that no matter what bodypart I'm working, or how empty the gym is, someone is always using the machine I need next.

This is why I now work out at home. I am crotchety.

Posted by: Randy

Damn Akateros....

You brought up some very good points there

Although I love looking at the women while working out, there makeup don't bother me

But, I suppose they can be a distraction at times (especially when wearing their white tight spandex)

I don't usually participate in this type of thread but I'm PISSED!!!

I go the gym on base. There's two squat racks and one power rack/cage. Today was leg day and I was COMPLETELY psyched to have a great workout. I walk in and a pair of dumbshits was using BOTH squat racks to do fuqing barbell curls and some other numbnuts was using the power rack to do pull-ups. When I approached the dingleberry twins and asked to use one of the squat racks they said they needed them because they were competing. Excuse me? What the fuq kind of competition can you compete in where you HAVE to tie up two squat racks doing curls??? I then asked the chin-up dude how much longer he was gonna be because I wanted to use the rack for squats. He said he'd just started and would probably be another 30-45 minutes. EXCUSE ME??? 30-45 minutes of chins???

I was so fuqing pissed that I ended up having a great workout. I kept picturing their stupid heads under my heels as I was leg pressing.

Sounds like some regulations need to be enforced in your gym Albob. If the equipment can't be used properly, and people are not respecting others then they should not be allowed to use the equipment.

All of the above are reasons I dont belong to a gym any more and never will. Im fortunate to have a back yard, so I hit the garage sale circuit and snatched up used weights and assorted exercise equipment and built my own gym. You'd be amazed at the amount of stuff fat people sell after they didnt stick to their new years resolutions. Mostly brand new too. I bet I dont have 100 dollars tied up in everything, including the stair stepper.

But yeah....fat women in spandex. There really should be a law against that.

I can't say I would never workout in a gym again, but I agree that it sure is nice having the equipment to workout at home.
Not to mention the convenience. I've built up a pretty good sized home gym myself. The problem is not obtaining the equipment, it is finding the room for it all. I had like 3 full size gym circuit leg machines that I had to toss out cause I didn't have the room for them. It was a shame, but they just took up to much room on the patio. I built a room specifically for my equipment and have to draw the line unfortunately at some point

. That is where the gyms have the advantage is space.

All I have is a stationary cycle, a stair stepper, lots of freeweights and a used swing set frame. It really doesnt take up much space at all. For benches I lay on a car ramp with a pad and hang the weights on chains from the swing set frame. For incline bench I sit on the ground and lay against the angled portion of the car ramp. Also hang the weights for squats and heavy shrugs. I just adjust the length of the chain loops. I bought a stretch cable thing that I hang from the top of the swing frame and anchor it with a dumbell from below. For T bar rows I weigh down one end of a barbell and jam the other end against the fence, wrap a rope around the heavy end and lift. Swing frame is also great for chin ups, pull ups and leg lifts. I just get creative. I really havent found too many exercises that I cant do with my set up. I call it The Gym of The Legend of The Rent Was Way Past Due. (a lil ode to David Black). Cause if you wanna be hardcore, you gotta live hardcore.

I belonged to a health club once that had employees that thought their shit didnt stink. They wouldnt help you for anything. The one guy who ran the iron room wouldnt even spot anyone unless it was a good looking girl or one of his roided out pals.

When he's done spotting, he can watch the clowns, hotties and Azz later. Personally, I would have slapped my spotter.

That's what I was thinking.

Sounded like the spotter was spotting.
Just wasn't spotting you

doin' allright...

Hey Burner...

Here is what the Lariat Truck interior looks like...
Picture that with the charcoal black option

Posted by: Burner02

oh...I LOVE the interior....but just do not like the exterior...roof looks chopped, the body is too square. I like how mine is more round..looks better. I do like the windows. They took them from the 250..

Posted by: Randy

Overall... I like it , I want it, gotta have it

With the right wheels on it, it makes a difference...
Drop the stock skinny wheels and it makes the body look better...
Add a 4-6 inch lift kit with 33 inch wheels and you are talking completely different look....

I had originally wanted to get a Tahoe and add the lift.

Well I just thought I would share my dream with you. I think it will be some time before it becomes reality. I am one who likes to save and have most of the cash before I buy a vehicle. I learned never to hang yourself out on a credit line

Posted by: Burner02

Wish I was as smart as you....

hmm...with all the goodies added...I bet you'd get maybe....8 - 10 mpg.....@ 2.00 per gallon...have fun!

Wish you were is smart as me?????
Now where did that come from

They are actually a surprising 17-18 mpg I believe which is not bad for a 5.4 litre V8. If you have the extra cash to throw around and are look for the most torque to gas mileage for the dollar than the vehicle to get would be a diesel all the way.

Again I'm not bragging to you here or anything. As I said I was just sharing with you the type of truck I was considering some day. Don't know why you tossed in the derogatory comment?

Well guess your having a bad day

Posted by: Burner02

naw....Ijust wish I wasn't as extended in credit...it wasn't a slam against you, Randy-
I wish I hadn't bought my truck....it is my 'archilles heel'....
make sense?

Posted by: Randy

Burner...

Ahhhhhhhh ok, makes much more sense now. Thanks for explaining to me what was on your mind. I would not have mentioned the word "Credit" if I would have known.

Sorry bud....

Posted by: Burner02

aint no worries.
don't worry about me. All is well. I just made a bit of a misstake with that one..

yeah...my big, POS get's about 12.5 mpg...on a good day....
I put in 9.00 in today...4.7 gallons..barely moved the friggin needle...
OUCH!

would love to have one...but you go from 0 - fill up in no time flat!

was'sup, Randy!

Posted by: Randy

Yeah..... But if you can afford those big boys, The cost of gas really isn't a concern

We are in the big truck class ... I don't know many that get good economic gas milaege

If you're concerned with gas milaege buy an electric car

Whatup Burner

Most definately! The hike in prices can sure turn someone around from a large vehicle driver to a econo driver.

For me though, I don't drive far fortunately. That makes a difference.

Posted by: Burner02

yeah...but with my real estate..I can write of mileage..but still...

ah hell..I'm gonna go get the damn ice cream...
I suck..

Posted by: Randy

Burner...

Your weak man....Weak like I am when it comes to ice cream
