Thread: Do you have an enemy at the gym?

I don't have a particulier enemy but there is this one guy. This older man (around 60 I'd say). He reads the damn paper while he lifts. So it takes him about 15 minutes to finish his exercises because he reads the paper between sets. He wears these tight little biker shorts and a tank top. He aslo bites his lip and like grinds his teeth while he is pumping out a set. Its so funny and at the same time annoying.

i really don't care enough about other people in the gym to regard them as anything but obstacles in my way to the water fountain.

i'm sure lots of people dislike me cause i'm always bangin weights, doing singles, dropping barbells from the rack position, grunting, yelling and cursing myself and apparently you're not allowed to do that kind of stuff in a gym...

btw, no one in my gym ever tells me anything, but i'm sure people look at me and think that i'm some kind of showoff moron

This one particular guy wheres a tuxedo, and always has a big grin. He has slicked back purple hair, and sort of looks like Jack Nicholson. I always see him chuckling to himself while flipping a coin in between sets. Oh, and he also thinks mass murdering people with chemicals is quite hilarious.

You hit the nail right on the head with this.

I enjoy having my gym in my basement. I love it more than anything else in my house well, except family.

one time i had a flash back of vietnam. i started to roll around behind all the machines, throwing five pound DB's. everyone was my enemy for about half an hour.

Yea I hate people who drop the weights. Do you guys not have enough core strength to just set them down? Is it laziness? Laziness doesnt go well with lifting. I mean what is it, stupidity? Ignorance? I saw one of you people throwing an ez bar curl from almost the top position. Who the fuck does that!

You are mixing up The Joker and Two Face. Joker doesn't use a coin....

At my gym there is this guy who uses one of the benches for things that don't involve benching. If that isn't bad enough he moves one of the adjustable benches next to him to set hi weights on! If you ask to move them he gets really pissed, last time I told him to stop being a prick and use the floor like everyone else.

I have an enemy at the gym. I call it "the treadmill."

I have no enemys because I workout in my basement but I have lots of people trying to get stronger then me.

My only enemy at the gym is Gravity. Kicks my ass every time!

Holy Super Hero Expert........Me....

I got a story to share,

I don't have an enemy anymore, but back in highschool I did. There was this kid that I called out to fight one day because he initiated a jumping against me with his friends while I was alone. Anyways, he backed down to fight me one on one.

A couple days after that event, he started working out in my school gym with his friends (he usually doesn't). Anyways, I'm on the bench press warming up with about 135 or so, and him and his friends think it'd be funny to stack up the weights and let it crush me. That's exactly what they did, they each put about 2 45's on each side (so I had 315 up), literally I was unexpecting this and the weight just fell on top of me and crushed me. They thought was funny, had their laughs and walked away. Fortunately I had a couple guys help me out and I didn't get any serious injuries.

Yeah I think i'd have to hold a grudge and sort of have to ruin this persons life....


...to the batmobile!

How did you not notice either A. people putting plates on your bench or B. How did you not realize you were trying to unrack 315 pounds while warming up with 135? Were you wearing a blindfold? Sorry im just messin, but really though how did you let those pricks do that?

My enemy is me. I must keep moving forward! The guys that throw weights around can pick them up, use them, but can't handle putting them back in the rack without slamming them around? Or dropping them to the floor? They get some people to look at them thats what they want. It's more impressive if you can at least control the pounds you work with.
