+ 1 Dumb things people say in the gym

ad

I usually train in my basement. I’ve been working out of town and using a local gym.
Some hillbilly asked me today if I’m on steroids.
I just looked at him and he says, I could get bigger but I don’t want to buy new clothes.
Lol
The dude looked like his shit was from Chess King...

Random middle aged man comes up to me during my rest, were just talking and he saying how impressed he is with my deadlift and then goes to say this. "Yea I used to deadlift 5 plates, but I just don't see the point anymore, always making loud banging noises and everyones looking at me.."

Me: Oh ok... I gotta get back to my set man good chat.

Me lifting and banging away Biggrin

You can lift for mass, or you can lift for strength, tone, and for cardio. Not that unusual

So that you understand, I have been training in the gym for 8 years, and I also do calisthenics. I combine bodyweight training with extra weights. My height is 181 cm and my weight is around 90 kg, and my muscle mass is rather lean. In general, I purchased professional equipment from CENSORED for my own gym, and chose the suitable light. Once a guy came up to me, who was 25 kilograms less than me, thin, and said to me: did you decorate this hall? I answer him. yes. And he begins to advise me on how best I could do it, despite the fact that he has been training for about 2 months. But that's okay, the funniest thing is when I do some kind of exercise like bench press or deadlift, and guys half my size come up to me and say that my technique is wrong. Of course, I tell them very nicely to go mind their own business, and not look at me, but in my head I sometimes imagine how I take these guys by the neck and start shaking them lmao.

Chess King, WOw! Brotha you are taking us back...lol....and yeah once upon a time I got my Z Cavariccis there...and they made my waist look skinny while looking like I never missed leg day. AS for the clowns in the gym, I pay them no mind, I just have never appreciated the folks that are in the rack, looking in the mirror, without repping.

This isn't what someone said but more of what they were doing. They were doing flips off of benches like park core flips I was thinking to myself what do I tell these kids but then I realized anything I say to them doesn't matter they already know people think they are gay and don't care

I hear a couple things that burn my ass.

1: well that's just easy for you!
2: I could do "blank amount" years ago too, they are either my age or younger.

The guy who clean and presses 100kg and then throws it onto the ground to be sure everyone has watched!

Lmao, the chicks I workout with every morning chewed my ass for this vary same thing this morning. 225lb though, they should be used to it by now( been working out with the same people for years).

Saint gannett's picture

Noooooooo, not you! Zimmer Amendment after the riots of 1995 meant that no money could be spent on weights and that meant that if it broke, it was gone.... just dropping dumbbells could get a man into a fight post 1995. Guess we're not in that place any more and I should get over it, but I really HATE dropped weights.... I add +2 to any partner's reps for that... unless, gently turn the wrists over and let it drop.... P.s. 100kg is 225lb :-) I did see a guy literally groan and throw one of the 50kg dumbbells once and that fucker bounced right onto his toe! I had to laugh... though the bastard still finished his workout, gotta give him that!

Edit: P.s. If I am not trying to hook up with a chick I tell them to do theirs and I'll do mine! End of! If I do want to get with them, will, I might even carry their weights and adjust their seat... pun intended.

They're bumper plates in a crossfit room with a concrete floor if that helps! 100kg is closer to 220lbs, like I said i was at 225lb, lol

I'm blessed with a gym that has a surprising lack of dumb and obnoxious people. There's only a couple people always complaining how other people are only big because of steroids while they're on their phone filling their social media feed. And recently some "Sarm kids" joined who start taking their shirt off once they notice a single vein popping.

The age old classic is still one of the best - 'Thing is ya see is I don't like to get too big cos the Mrs doesn't like it'. Yeh course you do mate - becoming too big without really wanting to is a problem we all suffer with Lol

Pale's picture

Yeah that is probably number one on the list of stupid things. I haven't worked out outside of my basement since covid began. I miss the social aspect a little, but not all the dumbasses and or drama.

Sam I Am's picture

I’ll take my basement any day.
By the time I’ve driven there and back I’m done at the house...
Then there’s the fart factor. Not that I don’t at the gym, it’s just more comfortable on my equipment...

I think those exercises are called crossfitting or something like that.

Chess King...lol...what a throwback!
I like the guy that is a 140lbs...grunting and slinging weights as he curls...then flexes in the mirror.
