The Biggest Lies in the Gym

min0 lee · 01-08-2005, 01:23 PM

I don't want to get too big.
Today is my light day.
I'll do abs tomorrow.
I'm not really trying to pick you up.
This baseball cap protects my eyes from the glaring lights.
I don't go to the gym to check out the babes. Honest.
I used to lift ...
Its supposed to bounce off my chest like that.
I don't do squats, 'cause they're bad for the knees.
I'm just getting back into it.
I don't do legs because I don't like it when they rub together.
I was not staring.
I don't care how I look, I just wanna be strong.
It's all you.
I've been sick lately.
I do circuits for the exercise.
I don't care about how strong I am, I just wanna look good.
I didn't notice the babe - I'm here to workout.
No, I got these gains by using Creatine.
I'm not a juicer.
I had too much alcohol last night.
I haven't worked out in weeks.
I lifted a lot more than that last time.
I always put my weights back when I'm done!
I always clean my sweat/chalk off the equipment.
I didn't drop it - it slipped.
You don't need to lift heavy.
I can't do squats, I have bad knees.
I just injured my ___ a couple weeks ago.
I don't need to do legs because I run/walk/cycle on the weekends.
You only have to do 1 set.
I go to the gym to work on my fitness.
Callus prevention? No I wear gloves to help my grip.
I never cheat.

Egoatdoor · 01-08-2005, 02:31 PM

I'm not lifting ___ lbs on the ___ to impress the cute girl over there.

I don't care that my buddy( or training partner) can lift more than I can.

I took ___ and it didn't do anything for me. And its not because my training program and nutrition suck and I overtrain.

My workouts never go longer than one hour. This includes the time it takes me to do a proper warmup, a proper cool down afterwards, put the weights on and off the bar, hook and unhook cables, pick up and return dumbbells from the rack, write my weights in my log, rest between sets, get drinks of water so I keep my body hydrated, go from one station to the next, wait for other people to do their sets while I work in and everything else that can slow a workout down.

I use every plate on the rack during my workouts, not just the 45s.

minO, you seem good at this. Have you used a bunch of these yourself? I have used a few of these myself.....I know that lol.

Teen_Lifter · 01-08-2005, 08:08 PM

I like to work abs, so I can't use that one. I've DEFINATLY used the "did more than that last time" one though......on several occasions actually lol. Oh yeah, the "I'm just getting back into it" is a good one i've used too

Gun-Ryo · 01-09-2005, 01:31 PM

i dont go to the gym to check out babes, most are all hitting on the gangster loser kids, scum of the school girls. babes are last thing i do this for, honestly im not sure what, girls are probably a reason, but not the girls in there

Why can't we train hard.

My lifting partner is a female powerlifter. She is always pissed when she doesn't get as much as she had the previous week. She is transitioning to bodybuilding now, so she is bound to lose some of her strength while she is cutting down to start.

Flex · 01-09-2005, 05:19 PM

I've never said any of those

, with the exception of "i don't care about strength, i just want to get big". and i was absolutely serious about that...

"I didn't fart, it was the guy here before me!"

min0 lee · 01-09-2005, 07:57 PM

They did that to me.

Freakin guy farted next to me and left, leaving behind a cloud of fart. So now a couple of people walk by giving me a mean look thinking I did it.
