+ 7 Just a friendly reminder for the snot faces

The temperatures are dropping and the weather isn’t so great. I normally get the seasonal blues anyway. A little over a week ago, there were a couple people in the gym coughing and hacking, and now I feel like shit.
One of the most evil things a gym rat can do is inhibit someone else’s gains. If you’re sick, please keep your ass home. Nobody wants your germs. You’re not gonna shrink up if you take some time for your health. But if you’re out there pushing through it and rubbing your snot all over the equipment and getting everyone sick, you’re pretty much a selfish asshole.
I know we’re all a bit selfish to some degree, but there’s a limit. Snot and viral infections is way past that limit.

That’s all. Stay healthy y’all. If you see some dude spraying 90% isopropyl on everything before he touches it the rest of the season, it’s probably me.

We’ve had some sleet already here, and it likes to go from 30s to 60s in no time so everyone is getting sick.
I think that’s how I got it, from all the mouth breathing snot blowing assholes at my gym.

It’s been back and forth here too. I haven’t been to the gym in 2 weeks now. I’ve got a real nice set up in an out building, but there’s no heat. Another project I didn’t get around to.

I’ve been slapping on a couple layers and hammering it out there. I can probably get by like that 3 more weeks, then I’ll have to buckle down and get back in there with the sick fucks. I usually only get it once a year, so hopefully I’m good from here out.

And here I though I was the only one who carries a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol in his gym bag...lmao!

Yea buddy. Good stuff. I always wipe my shit down before and after. And I know it ain't just me, but scrawny ass clowns always try and work in on our bench or machine halfway through a set. Then they adjust your weight to nothing and don't put it back. At that point I don't get off the machine, I take my rest on the machine. If they try and jump back in I point to my headphones and ignore them and look at them like their fucking trolls. Anyone else run into this ?

I'm usually so intense most don't try to work in,but i get pissed when I'm super setting in a circuit and someone jumps one of my stations.I guess I have to understand that its a gym and not my private space,but it still pisses me off.I also hate the guys that lift and then text people for a good ten minutes between sets when I need a piece of equipment.

disinfect equipment before and after you use it as well.Wash your hands many times,keep your vitamin c high and like he said if you're the one sick ,for gods sake stay home.You need to rest anyway!

Damn. Sorry to hear that man. But glad you’re recovered.
The next guy I hear talking about how sick he is in there, I’m not gonna be real nice.
My kids haven’t even brought anything home yet. Now I’ll be expecting that phone call to pick one of them up in 2 weeks. And I’m sure it will be when I’ve got ten guys on a job and in the middle of a bunch of chaos.
