I'm 34 and I don't really experience "the broken body syndrome". Sure I've injured myself a few times but it has healed up. Who hasn't injured themselves lifting heavy weights?? That's part of the game But I don't really understand what you guys do to annihilate your joints and spines all the time

This morning was 3 racks, the leg press and a piece of the turf. When asked in what universe does she think that's ok, her response was "my trainer told me I need all this and to put signs out" 1) get a new trainer 2) this is a public gym

I get mildly infuriated when people use equipment for exercises that could be performed elsewhere, for instance a lady once using a squat rack for ballet stretches, but I never usually say anything unless it's particularly egregious or happens repeatedly.

I don't really have a problem going "can i work out here too?" to anyone misusing a station or anyone really. So far in several years no one has said no yet Just impose yourself on the idiots so you can get your work done

I asked a girl who was using the squat rack as a phone stand and bag holder so she could facetime someone if I could use it and she said np. Then dropped her phone on her gym bag kicked it all over to to under where the barbell was so I had to like straddle it to put weights on that side while her man was looking up my shorts. She power moved me hard

New guy in the gym this morning. Not a lot of people, so after he used the bench press and left a couple 35s on the bar, I started watching him behind me in the mirror while I did dumbell work. Lots of phone time between sets. 1-2 sets per station. Left 35s on the bench. Left 25s on the incline bench. Left 25s on a random straight bar. Left 10s and 5s on the curling bar. Eventually I asked him if he was done with the bench, and then told him I'd put these weights away for him. As a hint. He left soon after, his trail of unracked weights easily followed, like a tale of shame and poor upbringing.

I had a guy invade the rack I was using rack while I turned my back for some plates. When I turned back he asked to share, I have no problem doing that, but dude I was nowhere done with that set (I just finished my warmup), it made me lose momentum, weirded me out and I gave him a weird look. He only did a set. There's another regular I've had to tell something to. He'll stand in the middle of the rack, doing tons of single shoulder shrugs with a 20 lbs plate. I only see him do that or cardio. I love it when it's empty!

He only did a set. You got big dogged, he didn't ask you if he could work in? That's super weird. I used to laugh at the thought of curls in the rack, but now everyone stands around in the racks on their phones. At least with the curls you're making some arm gains.

He literally just said, not even ask, "we can share!" I gave him the weirdest look and said ok (I was a bit shocked). He did one little set and left forever.

I'm getting really really tired after workouts, but I'm not used to strength training. My body just feels super tired for instance, right now 5 hours later and I feel sort of useless after my workout. I had a protein smoothie with some fruit and milk right afterwards and ate breakfast before. I assume I'll get used to this at some point? I don't remember feeling like this when I used to work out (a long time ago). I just did flyes, incline flyes, bench press, incline press, military press, 5 minute cardio warmup and 15 minutes of cardio afterwards. Also is it flys or flyes?

Before he did that, I was putting my plates back on their place after using the bench. I wasn't even finished when he grabbed it, weirded me out but Ok maybe he was impatient. Then he did the rack thing, luckily my resting bitchface is massive so I think he got the hint I was very annoyed. It's super weird. Back when I was fatter I became invisible to men, and now I lost most of the extra fat I get all sorts of attention. I actually liked being left alone.

This is correct A few weeks ago I saw some guy who started filming a really hot girl who was on the treadmill. Like, this dude just picks up his phone and starts filming the rear end of a woman infront of everyone like he didn't even understand why it was wrong The receptionist at the gym had to ask him to leave when the treadmill-hottie noticed and complained and the phone guy just looked confused the whole way out like he couldn't grasp the injustice done to him since he had done Nothing Wrong in his mind Collapsing Farts fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Sep 18, 2019 |
