chatty in the weight room?

[min0 lee]

I just made the biggest mistake talking to someone today while doing back exercises, freaking idiot would not stop talking.

Nah, I keep to myself- but am outgoing & friendly if someone approaches me or asks me to spot or work in on a bench...
At my previous gym I was practically stalked for a while by this guy who would talk incessantly about sport stats,etc in the locker-room while I was toweling off & coming in & out of the showers.
When I was taking a Martial Arts. course, I be changing, stepping into my jockstrap & putting the cup in, etc. & he'd be there "Do you know who's the most winning NHL coach of all time? We'll...". If he was a friend I wouldn't have cared but he seemed odd!

that's exactly why I don't talk to anybody. most people don't know when to end the conversation.

Nailed it right on the head. I dont mind giving a little advice, giving a little whats up, or even spotting someone from time to time as long as when I am rested and ready to go again I can do it.

Theres this really nice guy, hes pretty big, but he thinks he knows everything. He's telling me, forget those message boards, there worthless and rambles on and on when all I want to do is lift the freakin' weight.

I think Flex, possibly someone else said it best when they said they wear headphones even if they dont have the other end connected to anything. My Ipod was out of batteries so I didnt bring it and it was a real chatty workout day.
