GET OFF THE DAMN MACHINE BETWEEN SETS!!!! And I laugh at people that do about twice the weight they should be and only go through about 20% of the range of motion. Especially the assholes that go through the 30 minute ritual of the weight belt, wrapping the knees, breathing thing they do and then do squats of about 8 inches.

But Immmmm STRONG (Smelling) and I dont want to drain my beer belly. " Ya know in school I benched 335 as a work out weight...." Yes well, now yout 45, and you weigh 335. Hang up the fantasy and take a yoga class old man. I know exactly which meat head you are refering to.  He willl never ask for a spot for bench either. Every gym has one. What about the woman in the spandex, who should not be in spandex  , who has the treadmill at 20 degrees ant 3mph , and is usng it as a backwards stairclimber.....?????

Exactly, and silk doesn't chaffe. Not that I wear them, I'm just saying. |
HEY!! I work out in womens panties too.  Can I just rant against the whole workout thing here? OMFG. I hurt everywhere. I went back on spring training, to offset the 'lack of nicotine" munchies.  I hurt. AND people piss me off. WTF is it with the guy who wants to do his lame "run" across the lanes, as I'm swimming?? Does he NOT see the defined LINES?? I went all backstoke on him, and took him out like some irrelevant "starship" on a video game. Oops. sorry?  Then there is the Gym. OMG. I was supposed to be done with that place til Feb. Gym rats are a curious bunch. They walk around in gloves, and matching snap pants..but NEVER actually deal with a machine. There are 3 guys there, that have been there everytime I've been, and I've yet to see them DO anything, other than flex. "Posin' Pete" "Gay La Laine", and "Combover Carl" is how I refer to them. Jesus. Bike trails... STAY TO THE LEFT!!! Its not hard. FOCUS. I'm sure I'd be much nicer, if I could just have a cig? |

I like working out alone or in a group if everyone has to participate. For instance, I took weight training almost every semester in high school and college, and it was bearable because everyone had to work out. If you were a poser, the coach got on your ass. And it was not a pick-up place for women. Hell, back in the day, the women avoided weight training for the most part. And the same was true of swimming. In school, everyone had to swim. No screwing around; no posing. But public exercise clubs are a different story. For every guy working out, another is posing or just screwing around. But it does help to go after-hours. Today, I stick to the home gym and free weights, and get cardiac through brisk walks in the hills. Now that the knees are tweaked, the latter is not as fun as it used to be.  |
