any gym raeg stories?

I was doing my cardio yesterday and saw two girls talking while doing their walking. They were talking about the regular bullshit wimminz spew at the gym with gossip and shit, and why they aren't losing weight. In fact, one of the girls was like, "I just don't get it. I'm in here for like 45 minutes most of the week, and I won't lose any weight!" And... She was saying this while sipping down a fucking Muscle Milk.
>> JESUS
So this guy was doing his bicep curls as if he was swinging around a yoyo.
>> Anonymous
Rage that gets me, when I see wimminz do weights of 10kg after i've just pulled 60kg. Wouldn't mind that but the fact that they do like 30 reps in one set. IF ITS THAT FUCKING LIGHT YOU WANT TO DO THAT MANY BOOST THE WEIGHT!

Ok I got a good one.


So I'm at the track like I usually am, doing some HIIT in the early morning before all the old fart clog up the walking and passing lanes.

I see this HORRIBLY FAT, like holy-shit-farm-animal-should-be-at-a-hospital-not-a-gym-fat

Woman, and her suprisingly skinny boyfriend. This morbit, waddling horror is doing her best to try and run...RUN SHE IS TRYING TO FUCKING RUN. Going slower then walking speed. And she keeps yelling to her boyfriend.

"SLOW DOOWWWN. STOP YOUR GOING TO FAAAAAAST. STOP SLOW DOWN!"

And the mother fucker slows to a painful stride trying to pretend to run beside that fat fucking manatee. Meanwhile I'm trying to sprint buy her almost taking up two lanes. I had to leave early

Raged so fucking hard.

a middle age obese woman was on the rower beside me, going really fucking slowly, I didnt care about that but then her obese friend comes and stands right in my fucking way so I cant continue and the talk about some celebrity shit for about ten minutes. eventually I said "excuse me but could you move you're right in my way" Both goddamn women looked at me like I was the scum of the earth and said some half assed shit about there not being a no talking rule in the gym and got up and left.

I had just finished my warm up jog on the treadmills and was walking toward the one empty squat rack in the gym. My plan was to start the day with 5-6 sets of squats before moving on to other leg stuff. As I walked toward the rack, another guy—in a full Adidas tracksuit and gelled hair—was walking toward it at the same time. He looked to have about a half second on me, so I offered, “Are you using the squat rack.”
“Yeah,” he answers defensively.
Okay, I think, I’ll do some leg presses instead, since it looks like I’ll be waiting on this one. So I settle into the leg-press machine, keeping my eye on the rack. About 5 minutes pass, and he hasn’t even started yet; he’s talking on his cell phone. Then, his friend comes by, and he starts gabbing with him for a few minutes. Finally, he loads up his weight: a ten-pound plate on either side of the bar. Then, his friend steps into the rack in front of him, waits as douchebag lifts up the weight, and the two of them proceed to take turns doing SPOTTED CURLS IN THE SQUAT RACK for the next fifteen minutes (by this time I’ve gotten the other rack, so I’m watching all this closely). Naturally, they’re serenading each other through almost every set with “C’mon...c’mon...it’s all you, brah!” and grunting loudly with each rep.
That was the closest I ever came to losing it and yelling at someone in my gym.

The worst is when old fuckers are doing it. I've seen this guy a couple of times who looks like he was in good shape when he was younger...you can usually tell. I guess he's pushing 50 now.

Anyway, he had the 50 lb dumbbells, and there was no way in hell this guy was curling them with any kind of proper form. But this was pure ego lifting, so that didn't matter. Starting the range of motion with an actual BACKSWING, he then would swing the weight as fast as he could all the way to the top, using pure momentum. Then he'd rest at the top and let the weight pretty much fall back to its original position. Worst form I ever saw. I'm surprised the coot didn't dislocate his shoulder.

First day in my new gym today.

I only get like 1 hour 30 because I have to ride there and get my lazy ass dad to spot (not for fucking long I hope).

So I do a little warmup on the bike and loosen up my arms with some pull-ups and dips... then make my move towards the squat rack (1 squat rack in the whole fucking gym. This is a Forces gym... and it is still filled with row after row of bullshit machines with one lone, crumbling squat rack in the corner.

Some guy steps out of no where, right into the rack where the bar already has two 5kg plates on (WOAH thats 30 kg with the bar weight WOAH).

He then starts to curl for around 20 minutes. Literally taking a break every ten to gun show in the mirror.

I had to grab the spare bar and practice my form whilst this bastard hogged the cage.

By the time I got in there and squat, I was left 30 minutes short on all my other lifts. I had to skip Deadlifts altogether and go home half way through my fucking workout.

FUCKING RAGE. Especially when there were two perfectly servicable bench racks sat there with bars in them... just waiting to be douche curled.

My rage subsided when some fine piece of ass strutted in and started to actually bust out dips without the assistance machine pushing half of her weight. Then she did some pull-ups too. I had to sit down and bend over to hide my boner.

I saw this quote somewhere. Best fucking quote ever:

Yeah, go to your local gym and see what passes for work. Even the people engaged in bodybuilding efforts or performing (and I mean “performing” in the sense of acting) short, high intensity cross-training circuits aren't doing anything meaningful. Watch how people eat while they are in the gym, rushing to swill the latest greatest 500-calorie recovery drink within a 20-minute post-training window after burning a whopping 300 calories on an elliptical machine. This will give you a clue about how they eat when no one is watching and you'll know everything you need to know about why they can't “come close” to having a memorable physique (often their stated goal).

The other day, a friend and I were setting up squats on a smith machine and some guy starts up on the machine next to us. He's pacing around in a circle for two or three minutes, breathing heavily and we're kinda wondering what the fuck this guy is up to. Then he charges the bar and starts to do what look like the most painful set of shrugs I've ever seen. The guy barely gets five off and backs off the bar. The kicker... He had 10lbs on it.

i mean sure, a lot of them do mostly curls for the gurlz, but they do them without making it hard for other people to workout, so they don't bother me

How exactly is that a 'fail'. I quite like alternating free bar and smith machine lifts because they each have their own merits. Use a inclined chest press for example. With a smith machine, you can lock in a perfect angle and really limit the range to only that spot. You don't build stabilization and core muscles, so I would never replace free weights, but the core ideal behind bodybuilding is Progressive Overload, and the best way to do this is to confuse the body with new forms on your old exercises routinely.

The smith machine dictated the range of motion for you, which is retarded because every human being in built differently.

Smith machines are shit. The only thing I use it for is a pull-up bar when the main one is taken.

but there were a few lol moments

one time i was doing overhead presses in the squat rack
some guy comes to me and asks me how long i'll be using the rack, because he wants to do squats
i offer to share the rack or that he can wait 5 minutes for me to finish, he says that he'll be using a lot more weight (i was doing 70kg) and that he would rather wait
when i finished my sets, he goes into the rack, loads the bar to 140kg and proceeds to do 2 inch squats
i loled

another time i was squatting in the power rack and some comes to squat in the smith machine next to the rack
i was pyramiding my weight and every time i finish a set, the kid puts on more weight than me and squats it
as the weights got heavier his squats got shallower (1 inch rom)
on his final set, he unracked the bar, tried to go half an inch down, but the weight sent him to the floor

We all know there are guys that come to the gym once every 2-3 weeks. Either than or there are students that come with other friends. These people are usually really lanky or such. That's not my problem...

After I do cardio, I usually go to the weight room and lift. I hate to say but I usually take long breaks in between sets (3-5 mins because I usually zone out because that's what happens after I run).

What really grinds my gears is that the lanky people like curl 15-20 lbs on each arm, THEN put the weights down and flex in the mirror for like several minutes after just one set. I mean come on! You're not going to see any difference by just doing one set of curls!

Yes, go curl but don't flex in front of the mirror after just one set every 2 to 3 weeks...

I saw a young guy, late teens, early 20's, doing one-armed concentration curls with an 80lb. dumbbell.

Except he was only lifting in a very limited range of motion. I'm talking MAYBE 15 degrees. From the top of the lift.

Also, the gym I go to doesn't have dumbbells heavier than 80, so I'm sure he would've gone higher if he could.

not a gym story, but I fucking can't stand it when these people boast about how many push ups they can do (eg. OH YEAH I CAN DO LIEK 200 PUSHUPS) and they do, but they move about 1 fucking inch and they have horrible form (camel back).

I can only do 25 real pushups (just a beginner, I'm working on it), but I fucking make sure that I'm doing the proper form and i get the closest i can to the 100% perfect pushup

I won't touch the smith. I'm on the SS program so its freeweights only.

I'm amazed at how resistant my parents have been to my weight training. They are so poorly educated on the matter.

The other day whilst I was warming up... I pust like 150lbs on the bar to squat. My dad was like: "OMGWTFRUDOIN?!?? Why do you need to lift that much weight, that is ridiculous, you're going to damage your knees and end up fat"

I just tell him to chuttup and spot me. I really need to find a weights partner though. They don't even need to have lifted before so long as they have the dedication to learn properly.

Sadly... everyone in that gym is a curlz for the gurlz guy, or CIRCUIT CIRCUIT PUSH UPS SIT UPS TREADMILL guy... which is fine, but it doesn't help me squat my max.

It sickens me how they have so many damn machines and one shitty old rack and a tiny selection of plates. No chalk, no lifting stations, no coaches, no spotters... makes it so fucking hard to get started with weight training.

Working out yesterday and there were two kids who couldn't have been older than 16 replete with emo hair and popped collars just hanging around the bench waiting for upwards of two minutes between their sets of 40 fucking lbs. FUCK. I wanted to rip their scrawny little limbs off, but instead I positioned myself near the machine and just stared at them until they got uncomfortable and left.

Even more annoying than chicks who only do cardio for an hour.

I don't know why, but seeing people dressed in regular street wear - i.e. collar shirts, cargo shorts, etc. - really pisses me off whenever I see them worn in the gym. Maybe it's because these people remind me of guidos.

Anyways, I was on one of the running machines at my apartment complex a few weeks ago. I was on the machine for a good 20 minutes doing high-resistance running when some sand/curry-nigger comes in dressed in street wear. Not only did that piss me off, but he kept jumping back and forth between machines doing maybe five reps with shitty form. And in between these, he would pace back and forth, breathing heavily, constantly looking at me as if he were waiting for me to get off the machine. Now in most cases, I would tell the person how much longer I had to go, but I didn't mainly because there was the SAME FUCKING MACHINE right next to me that was empty.

This smelly monkey just kept pacing, and staring me down like I was hogging up all the machines, even though there was no one else in the gym besides me.

Nobody taught me... I didn't go and sit in the gym and hog all the machines without having a fucking clue what to do with them.

Whether they know how to work out or not, they should still have the basic politeness and respect for others not to go and get in everybody's way.

They need to take the initiative themselves and do some reasearch and some work to find out what to do... if they can't manage to put together an idea of how to workout without pissing everyone off, they shouldn't bother in the first place.

If some kid walks in, gets in the squat rack and honest to god tries his ass off to squat with good form... I don't care how long he takes, hell I'll walk over and spot the guy if it helps him learn the right way. But when some little punk walks in and starts curling in the mirror whilst sat on the bench, there is no excuse.

My dad is the exact opposite, my uncle was an armature body builder (back in the late 70's/early 80's) and my dad would hit the gym with him, so my dad wants me to do isolated lifts instead of compound because that is what he did. what he does not realize is i am not as built as he was and always tries to set me up on something i can not do, like bench 200lbs and then bitch about how he could do that at my age.

Ok, i'm back at the pc. Mind you i'm not american, so don't think gym raeg is american only.

I have a long story of raeg stories, but i'll just tell the two i encoutered today.

1. There was this guy making a protein shake. I'm like 'That's cool, protein is optimaly taken right after a workout.' But the guy holds the protein shake and drinks it while working out.
2. There was this fuckawesomeextremelybeatifullolifaceniceboobsass girl, and she was with a fat guy who i can only guess was her boyfriend. The guy was FAT. FATFATFAT. I never started working out to get women, but goddamit it's unfair that really hot chicks choose to go out with fucking FAT guys. Anyway, the chick was doing incline dumbell presses, and the guy was spotting her, but instead of spotting her from behind, he spotted her FROM THE FRONT. His nuts were in her face.


And i saw a counter rage event:
-This fat guy, who comes EVERYDAY in the gym, and works his fucking ass off. Treadmill, skip roping, bench presses, deadlifts, everything. And he is getting results. Why can't all people be like that?
>> Anonymous
>>156820

Sure, I help the misguided ones... but I don't waste my time on the guys that obviously don't have the dedication to work on things like form.

Some guy might come in and start doing curls... and it becomes obvious pretty quickly that he has looked up workouts and got trolled by some brah brah frat boys. So I'll go and suggest he start looking into lifts. I'll help him because he's tried to do some work of his own.

I can't help every fucking whelp that walks in without a clue. I can't practically tell them to just stop coming, and I'm not prepared to waste my time on someone who doesn't have the motivation to actually research and practice technique before getting in everybody's way 4 times a week.

Then there are the guys that come storming in with an almighty "FUCK YOU" attitude and curl the shit out of everything in sight. I don't have anything but loathing for these assholes. They get in the way of everyone else actually trying to lift and they don't care. I wouldn't offer to help them lift because its clear they don't give a fuck... because they can curl 30kg and that is AWWWWSUM!!

I have respect for those that movtivate themselves to learn and perform lifts... sadly, most of the guys that troll the gym are too wrapped up in their super-awesome bicep workout to take notice of what some "meathead" says about lifting... "Fuck, what would he know? His legs are too big and his biceps are smaller than his tris."

You ain't reading right sonny.

Nobody gives you the stink-eye if you go in and actually try to work out properly. Even if your form is bad, at least you're trying.

Still... you have to do some work in preperation. You don't just turn up at the gym and go "now what?"

Go find a good workout, research the exercises... practice the technique, so that when you go, you can make an honest attempt at working out... which is what you do, in a gym.

If you just turn up, without even considering the mechanics of a workout, or structuring your workout in some way other: than turn up and hit random machines for an hour... don't buy a membership. You deserve the scorn of everybody in the gym if you turn up and get in people's way because you were too lazy to find out what working out actually is.

The gym isn't a fucking playground. It isn't there to show off in... it is there so people, fat or thin, can make themselves better physically. If you're going to impede their progress, in what little time they likely have, just so you can do poorly formed curls in the mirror... stay the fuck out of the gym.

Ahh see, you're the kind of person I'd be damn happy to point in the right direction, because I know my efforts would be unlikely wasted.

If all people had the same consideration for others, there would be no rage in the gym.

Anyone who gives another lifter/trainer shit because they aren't lifting mad lbs... is a douche on the other end of the spectrum. Most of the guys who rage at others for not lifting enough, are fucking shit lifters themselves anyway.

The good guys, the guys who know how to lift and train properly, have respect for the little guy who wants to learn.

I found it the same when I kickboxed. All the hard talkers and "bad ass" mugs who used to walk around before a fight, talking themselves up about how they "smashed some fuckers up" the last event and laughing at other fighters... tend to get absolutely destroyed the moment they step foot in the ring, they HAVE to talk themselves up because their performance is too shite to intimidate people. Conversely, the guy that sits quietly, talking amongst friends or encouraging others to fight well... gets in the ring and goes to town on the previous gentleman's face.

i've been in gyms for waaaay too long, and honestly never given crap to anyone who didn't deserve it.

first, i believe respect is earned, but courtesy should always be given to everyone, and then they prove whether they're worthy of it. reasons to be denied courtesy are:

1. unless you're a doctor on call or your wife is due to give birth, LEAVE YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE IN YOUR LOCKER.

2. never camp out on equipment. park benches are for sitting on and putting you things on them. gym benches are for exercising. don't sit or leave your stuff on a gym bench, especially during peak hours.

3. be considerate of the limited space in a gym.

there's one asshole in my current gym who climbs on a multi-station to use the pull up bars. he then tries to do giant swings like a gymnast using the rings. this is at the peak after work rush. people are diving for cover as this idiot is swinging like a monkey. finally, after i grabbed him and "spoke" to him, he hasn't done it since.

4. don't do your exercises right in front of the dumbbell rack. move to another area and lift there. dumbbell racks are very busy, high traffic areas. i have no problem walking into someone intentionally blocking access to the rack because they're lazy and don't want to move their weights 10 feet away where no one is sitting.

5. re-rack your weights and clean up after yourself. i'm not your fucking maid. you leave a mess, i hunt you down ask why you think i should clean up after you. i'm not a nigger so don't treat me and everyone else like one who has to wipe your ass for you.

I'm not annoying anyone, I hope, and I'm pretty sure my form is right.

I'm very calmed in the gym, if a guy takes the cage after my second squat set I don't fight it, even when they see their mistakes I tell them to just go with it and pass to the next exercise

However...
There's this guy, the father of one kid that does dedicates to the gym. The dad apparently waits for him and tries to "exercise" while junior is lifting heavy.
This dude made my blood boil.
He literally took 15 minutes for each exercise, which ones? leg press and leg extension. Without any weight.
And what does he do?
-Leg extension, no weight, around 20 reps. around 4 sets. Rest? at least 5 minutes. Without living the fucking machine! and he gets offended if you ask him for a chance to use the machine?
-Leg press, just 10 kilograms.
How much? around the same sets, however, he is so weak he barely does 3 reps, he looks completely tired while sending cell phones sitting in the fucking machine taking his 5 minute rest.

I think some people just over react, but this fucker was incredible, thank god he stopped doing exercise and just waits talking to the owner's daughter. I'm pretty sure he got in a fight with a guy with less temperament than me

Woah. Angry much? We weren't saying you were an idiot or anything. I don't communicate with anyone either. I'm there for one thing: to exercise.

I don't rage when people don't do things well or look confused and in general don't lift. I go up and say "A good thing someone told me is..." or "You should try this, it really started working for me.." and then show them. The only time I RAEG is when people are inconsiderate. sitting on a bench talking on a phone, bumping in to me (I do take careful consideration to get out of any high traffic area). Taking the station I'm on just because I go to get a drink of water (when there aren't even a lot of people). And the fucking douchebag kids who are loud and pushing each other around and throwing pilate balls at each other and shit like that.

TIP for newbies or people considering starting: Watch what everyone is doing, especially the people who you see there a lot. Also, its best to error on the side of being TOO considerate to people. They'll start looking out for you as well

I hate at my college gym (GMU) when I'm lifting weights and a sports team comes in. They get to have priority over all the cages and weights, and kick out anyone in the weight room. I pissed off some huge guys when they wanted me to abort my SQUATZ. Basically I told them that it's not like working out is going to help them win more, you have to have talent first. Fuckers turned red.

yeah, i had a similar situation. this one white trash fat white bitch (5'4 and probably 200-220 lbs) and her boyfriend or some shit (really muscular huge black guy) were doing skullcrushers. instead of using just 1 curling bar and exchanging weights, they took both available bars and hogged them for like 30 minutes. meanwhile, they would also rest for 5 mins between sets...the dumb cunt was only using 2.5lb plates, too.

i asked early on how many sets they had, and she was all motherfucking offended i asked but said around 5 or 6. so after doing other stuff and coming back 20 mins later, more than enough time, i asked her again how many sets were left, and she was still all pissy and offended, but said 2. so i sit there for 10 minutes while she finishes her 2 sets, and she starts adjusting the weights putting 1.25 lb plates on for another set...i was like oh you are fucking kidding me, and go up there and i'm like "hey, just how many sets do you have? i've been waiting for 30 minutes and you've been using BOTH of these" and she gets all irate, and is like "OH FINE! YOU KNOW WHAT! IM DONE! TAKE IT!" and i'm like "fine bitch!" her dumbfuck broly boyfriend was acting like a bitch, too, and was like "THIS IS A GYM." I'm like, no shit nagger, what'd you think this place was?

Anyways, I was pissed as all hell. Still am a little bit. I have 0 problems with sharing equipment and working in/out with people, and if someone ever asks me how many sets I have, I always offer to let them work in. That self-entitled white trash fatass and her broly nagger boyfriend need a lesson in gym etiquette.

They were white. Lol, it's GMU, so the only team that's full of blacks is the basketball team, which incidentally is the only good team that we have. If it was the basketball team that was in the gym, I probably would have muttered something about them losing me money for my bets.

I fucking hate seeing new people in the gym, and I will fucking want to rip your face off if you walk your noob ass into my squat rack. I am aware that I was once a noob asshole like yourself, and many people wanted to rip my smug fucking face off just as much as I want to rip off yours. This is a rite of passage that you must fulfill, as every retarded faggot who stepped into the gym before you had to do himself. Most faggots leave after a week or two and never come back because they don't have the drive to keep training, or the will to figure out how to do things right. If you prove yourself as a resourceful person who can put forth some effort and change the way you look, than you too may know the pleasure of absolutely despising the hordes of stupid faggots who walk into the gym.

im kind of a big dude (fatty lol fatty) i dont really do cardio (outside of fencing) because i dont care, i just want to be stronger.

my coach told me to do alot of leg exercises, ALOT of leg extensions he said. i put only 90lbs on it and these fucking guido motherfuckers pointed at me and laugh i even heard one of them say 'look at that fat fuck, i bet he cant even lift that!'

i dont like to cause shit with people but damn that made me rage. fucking roided out fake tanned motherfuckers wearing lip gloss and doing gun shows in the mirrors more than exercising at the gym.

About 6 middle school faggots on BMX bikes were riding around doing "cool tricks" and shit on the track I run at today. Getting in my way constantly.

After while I grew tired of it and just fucking blew a fuse. It ended up with me running into 4 of them, that were blocking the track (think of them as the | in --|--), and knocking them flat on their asses. The rest of my time spent running today they just eyeballed me.

people generally being loud when they are working out. there's this one old guy at my gym that will do a set of 5 really jerky really quick reps when he is bench pressing and then the last one will be all the way down almost until the bar touches his neck and he will make this NYYAAAAAAAAA! sound as he lifts it all the way up and racks it himself

A friend of mine and I were attending a gym about a year back. A few weeks into it he asked if it was cool if he brought a friend of his along, too. Let's call him Fred. I tend to draw the line at three people or it just takes too damn long to finish sets, so I stressed only bring one for that reason.

So on the first day where it was my friends turn to drive us there, I meet Fred. He's sitting in the back seat, gave him a greeting, friendly enough guy, is interested in similar stuff to what we do there. So it's all good. A welcomed training partner. But when we arrive, my friend pulls up, we all get out and... well, holy shit. Fred is actually about 5' tall, give or take a few inches. I shit you not. Now let me emphasise this: I am not a big guy. I'm only 5'9" myself. I had no problem with the guy training with us, as I believe physical fitness is for everyone and not just the 250lb father-was-a-football-player-who-married-an-olympic-gymnast elite you'll find giving you snide looks as they rub shoulders with their equally large buddies. He notices my (admittedly obvious) surprise, and like any good humoured guy would, brings it out into the open and says "he's heard it all before". And I think, "you know what? This guy's awesome. Obviously down to earth, plus knows his shit about training. It'll go fine. I'm sure everyone here'll be mature enough not to stare or snigger. This is a gym, not a school playground."

Was I right, /fit/? Can you guess yet? Of course I fucking wasn't. We get about two thirds of our way through the session with the constant giggling and muttering of a variety of dipshits in nearly every room thus far, until finally one of them plucks up the courage to point it out and make a big funny amongst his friends, intentionally within earshot of the three of us. Fred ignores them and carries on with his set, and luckily nothing comes of it. We all retained our memberships, but I didn't see Fred after that session.

This makes me angry for several reasons, /fit/. For one, these guys were adults. Yet I can still see them growing a chubby little hardon at the oppurtunity to get a rise out of someone. Not only that, be he was there doing every exercise with good form and a respectable weight on each set, but people continued to just, watch. This is easily the most angry I've ever been at the gym. I never did see those assholes who made me lose a perfectly good training partner.

Thank you, /fit/ for confirming my dislike of gyms. I'm stupidly self concious about my upper body, and reading a lot of the replies in this thread just confirmed that gyms nationwide are packed with muscle head jackasses who look down on us "weak" or "normal" people just trying to get in shape.

Honestly, that was one of the biggest detriments to not only my self esteem, but my attempts to get into shape. Whenever I would try and go to the gym I would always get stared at by the bigger guys because I can't do "mad weight". No one would offer help, and I could tell they were silently raging that I was taking "their" weights.

Even now I only workout at night in my apartment complex's gym using freeweights (since we have nothing but freeweights and exercise machines) and even then I can only use 35lb dumbbells to benchpress.

I doubt I'll go to a gym in the near future due to these muscle headed jackasses looking down on me, at least not until I feel confident in myself. It's tough.

So yeah, fuck you assholes. Try being nice to people for a change.

Almost all the time the "staring" you feel at gyms is exactly in your mind. Probably most of the people there would say they got stared at in some point, but figured it was their self-consciousness over-reacting.

you have to be a really stupid person, re read the thread.

The majority of the rages in here is a result of people being rude and inconsiderate, something that makes me angry no matter if it is in the gym or on a sidewalk. To take an example, when someone mentions that a guy was doing 24lbs or whatever for half an hour, the problem is not the lack of weight, it is the fact that the fucker is hogging a spot for far to long due to general asshatness and lack of knowledge about training.
If you come into a gym and work hard, respect people and behave like a civil fucking human being, then no one will care, if you come in as a rude fuck people will rage, simple as.

Why so self-conscious, fags? I don't workout at a gym, but I do often work out at the playground near my house (bars for dips and chinups). I'm sure the 4 year old kids and their parents that are always there think I'm a pedophile.

This one time, I noticed smith machine bar was set way lower than usual. As I looked at it trying to figure out how much weight was on, one dude comes to me asking if I need help putting the bar up with a weird smirk on his face. I told him I didn't need help and just stood there trying to do simple arithmatic, and think about my exercise. Then again with a weird ass smirk, this dude asks if I was sure I didn't need any help putting the bar up. I got annoyed a little so I just pushed it up like I was doing ATG squat with my starting position at ATG. Then he looked at me finally without a weird smirk, and just left the gym.

The funny part is that it wasn't even like a monsterarous weight like 400lbs. It was about 160lbs.

Shit like this makes me rage to no end. I've seen assholes point and laugh at others and I always want to get up and break their faces with a dumbbell.

There was this one guy who used to work his ass off, but was really short, one of the shortest guys I've ever seen go to a gym. Every single fucker had to comment on his height. He took the crap for a few months, then never went back to the gym again.

He's what most of us who dedicate our lives to our body will be...
He was strong, his body is failing him but he needs to lift that 50 lbs that he used to do with such ease.. He knows he's not doing it properly, but it's enough of a lie to get him by.
His testosterone waned long ago. He looks in the mirror and what used to be lean and powerful is just meager , old and wrinkly.
It's his way of proving he can still do what made him himself.
Get the body you want now in the knowledge that it will go, just understand that the better something was the more you will miss it. It's inevitable. It's a losing battle all the way.

I won't bemoan my failing body...I'll just look at the other 50-y.o.s around me, the ones with brittle chicken legs and gigantic sagging bellies. Then I'l look at my still muscular (if slightly less toned) physique, and at my Japanese wife's still lean and curvy body, and I'll take pity on my friends with their fat caker wives.

"Clean" is so the right word. All you have to do is watch how a girl behaves when she's young. Does she load her face up with garbage food and booze just because she can in her 20s and early 30s? Watch out, because those habits are much slower to change than the human body is. My girl's a non-smoking, minimal-drinking pescatarian (only fish).

heres a fun fact, asians have the most carbohydrate tolerance genetically out of any other race. this is why they are on average less fat. but where they fail is that their diet is low in protein. so they end up being flabby and frail and small at the same time.
