Dumbest thing you hear from people who dont workout!

**clemson357** · 12-29-2005, 01:41 PM

I read over about 1.5 pages of this thread, can't believe nobody said this:

the people who try do act like they get exercise without exercising. they will say "_________ gives me a good workout."

my girlfriend says "walking around the mall gives me a good workout"

or "I was standing up and walking around all day at work"

or one time a guy working on my apartment was talking about fixing showers...."it is a good workout, really gets your back"

**ALBOB** · 12-29-2005, 01:46 PM

Jeeze, I almost forgot the best one. (Doesn't quite fit the original question because it comes from people who DO workout.)

"Am I overtraining?"

Funny, this makes sense to me. Some guys go to the gym to look good for females... Never once have I heard a girl go up to some guy and say "hey nice quads, wana fk? Don't get me wrong though, I work out legs also.

Fair enough, but I have had girls tell me that chicken legs look goofy to them many a times. I actually have been complimented on my legs before too.

I honestly have girls compliment my legs all the time. On a college campus, nice bodies are about a dime a dozen, so when a girl sees huge calves and separated quad heads, it really sets me apart. Guys compliment my calves all the time too.

Legs are the one area woman can relate to.

**AKIRA** · 01-02-2006, 01:00 PM

Holy shit, I think I just realized something.

I think I curl in the squat rack!! Everytime too, I think. Now is this the cage thing or the rack where there are various weights on each side, ramped sides with different sized knobs to rack a barbell, and two parallel racks adjacent to about your knee level? If so, yea I curl there.

**Squaggleboggin** · 01-02-2006, 04:48 PM

You could always ask someone to move from there so you can use the safety feature. Make up something if you have to... You do what you have to do to train, and if that means lying to the guy doing curls in the squat rack, so be it!

**fufu** · 01-03-2006, 03:35 PM

my friend who is going to start working out with me said to me after I told him to use a whey protein supplement, "I don't know man, I don't want to get all bulky".

This is so true....The gyms get swamped this time of year and in 2 months they are empty again. Also I like the people who say "I do crunches to lose the fat around my waste" and still eat at McDonalds 3x a week.

Today when I went to the gym there were like 15 people who I've never seen come in, a bunch of high school students. They were all playing on the machines. I went up to my friend and said, "wtf is up with all these people". He said, "New Years, everyone is making their resolutions." Of course! Last night I went there were no more than 4 people including me, and then today it was like 25.

**Seanp156** · 01-03-2006, 11:04 PM

While they might be annoying right now, hopefully they'll learn things while being there, and see big guys and find out what they're doing wrong... That's basically what happened to me (not the New Years Resolution thing though).

"Stunts your growth"

**Gozar** · 01-04-2006, 10:40 PM

Today I thought of another great one. I use to work with this overweight girl who would only drink soda. When I told her she should drink more water she said "I can't drink water, I don't like the taste".....um correct me if I'm wrong but water has no taste.

same here...too many new faces. On top of that I lost count of how many skinny guys were trying to lift way more then they should have been or doing some sort of wierd exercise which only made sense to them.

Working your legs has a direct effect on building your beach muscles. Hitting bigger muscle groups increases your testorone levels, which can help build beach muscles. And disproportional people just look stupid.

what are separated quad heads?

**Pedigree** · 01-05-2006, 06:17 AM

"I don't want to get big, just toned".

"ATG squats are bad for your knees. You should stop short of parallel".

And my all-time favorite...
"I don't have to work my legs...I run".

Scientifically water is described as tasteless, but there are many different tastes IMO. City water is different from well water is different from Dasani (I hate that stuff) is different from a water fountain is different from tap water. Pure water, pure H2O, is always going to taste the same, but that's a rare find.

The quadricep muscle group is actually comprised of 4 separate heads; muscles which are each contained in their own individual fascia. If you have a very low level of body fat, then you can see the separation of these heads.

One of my favorites too.

**Squaggleboggin** · 01-05-2006, 04:57 PM

Well if they run they may not want to become any bigger or stronger. Maybe they just like running and have no reason to work legs. I'm sure you're talking about people who run and then work the upper body with weights though.

Exactly. They train their upper body with heavy weights but the only stimulus the lower body receives is jogging. Lame.

Runners want to be as lean and light as possible, so I understand their point of view.
Your assumption was correct...I am talking about the ones who curl, bench and go home.
