There is this one guy, comes in every other day or so, does the weirdest type of stretching and breathing exercises, sound effects and all, rubs his stomach in front of a mirror in a circular motion for a while as he practices breathing, serious just strange things follow by "ummmmmmmmm" as brings in his arms, I dunno, seriously thinking of just going and asking him what exactly he is doing.

Is it ever like a barber shop in there? What I mean is blacks will take a normal business and treat it like a social club cuz they have no place better to go. Do a bunch of blacks just hang out there all day for no good reason?

Now that's funny. Only two white guys huh? Do you happen to be one of them? lol Anyway, I am currently working in Iraq so I train here on base but I've been living in Kuwait since 1995. As you may or may not know, Kuwait has some really world class gyms. I've trained in a few of them. Not for any Length of time because I can't afford it. (costs an arm and a leg) I just like to go every once in a while to experience the atmosphere. I've been to the famous Oxygen Gym in Kuwait and it's great. Top of the line. This is the gym made famous by Dennis James and crew. Most of the trainers (called Captains) in the gyms I've trained at are Filipino. Most very experienced and competitive bodybuilders. There are no coed gyms in Kuwait except for gyms located in large hotels and resorts. I guess that lets you know that the gym is full of guys. Not much for motivation. Kuwait has a pretty big bodybuilding scene and top of the line gyms seem to be popping up routinely. Some owners spare no expense to trump the competition. I wish I had some pics of some of the facilities I've trained in. Very nice. Anyway, just thought I'd add to the discussion.

For example, at Oxygen gym the prices are as follows:
1 month $148.00
3 months $407
6 moths $721.50
1 year $1184.00
That may not be a lot to some of you but it's a little bit out of my price range. The place I go to is $75.00 a month and has all I need. It's nothing like Oxygen but I can get it done.

Well, I've been there since 95 so I know a few things. I've been following the bodybuilding in Kuwait the whole time. It's funny, when I first got here it was easier for Kuwaitis to go to a pharmacy and get steroids than it was to get regular supplements. They had to smuggle the supplements in from Bahrain and Dubai. I was selling boxes of Mega Mass for $100.00 bucks a shot. Business was good back then. Now supplements are readily available in Kuwait and prices have come down. Not by much. You think you guys have it bad back in the States. The prices over here are ridiculous. Incredible. Insane. I still order my stuff from the States or by it on base so it's all good for me. Anything specific you want to know just ask.

how come bodybuilding is so popular over there? the kuwaities are dressed from top to toe and have beards etc and bodybuilders have hardly no clothes and are clean shaven?

90% of the members look the same as the day they started, if not worse
the personal trainers don't know how to train themselves, let alone somebody else
a few middle aged women like to train in open toed heels
most guys never bench a weight they can handle for more than 6 reps
frail old men like to give advice to larger younger men and they claim to have been huge in their younger days
many guys with twig legs leg press over a 1000 lbs with ease, which tells me big weights don't equal big muscles
every "expert" is either obese or skinny

noon-ish is the best time cuz no one is there
the head trainer is actually NOT a douchebag

There really as those men who wear headbands, tiny shorts, high socks, wristbands, moustaches, and old style headphones.

:o You're kidding? My gym is a very well equipped 3 story YMCA and the membership is $25/month. The only thing it doesnt have that I'd want is a hack squat.
-
The more poeple get stronger the more arrogant they become.
The middle aged men whilst in general are dead on, a lot of them are twats.
Very few squat with any depth.
No one has proper form
Most people are friends and you can set your watch to them coming in at a certain time

I dont know how the fuck they came up with prices like that. I have never paid more than $40 a month for a gym. If I pay $148 am onth for a gym membership, they better deliver breakfast, lunch and dinner to my doorstep everyday.
-
mine is 20 quid a month. 40dollars.
So so so so so cheap expecially for being in city center.
Very well equipped DB's up to 120's and adjustable ones up to 130's
Everything you need though basically all free weights with only a few machins ike cable rows and puldowns

You couldn't pay me enough to go to a gym with those dorks.
-
My gym is al male. Used to be mixed though owner said women more more hsle than worth.
So many old fella like that exist in my gym. We have at least 20members over 65 years of age who still train. Around 10 over 70 and one or 2 over 80.

We have an lady of Indian Decent that is nicknamed KFC cause we seen her in her car holding a bucket of KFC on her big belly eating it in the parking lot before coming in and telling the fitness instructor she dont understand how she cant lose weight.
Well this Chic does a full blown Keagles Exercise regimin right there in the gym. She breathes and squeezes like it is a lamaze class. She does them lying down thrusting her hips, on her hands and knees squeezing her bottom, lying on her back with her legs up in the air, and then lying on her back legs up spreading them on each squeeze. you can literally see her bottome squeezing on every rep. I swear she prolly has tightest pussy you could ever imagine if you could find the damn thing. It is the most god awfullest thing you could ever imagine.
I really need to get this chic on video and show you guys. Even when she trains it sounds like she is in lamaze class. She has her breathing and keagles down to a science. Now if someone could just show her how to train properly. I'm serious it is God Awful watching her try and train it is some funny ass shit.
-

Haha! No worries, most of them only do their workouts (+drinking lots of coffee, +lots of smalltalk) on Saturday morning.
-
Haha so mnay old guys come in for tea toast and coffee or a scone or a biscuit and sit and talk watching an old western or old film on tv.
It kills hours for them.
We also have haircuts every 3 weeks in the gym LOL

I'm currently living and working out in Shenzhen, China. The fitness industry is still very new to the Chinese and, considering the sheer number of people here, hasn't yet caught on in a huge way. However, the gym I go to is super crowded on weekday evenings.
There is one smith machine and every dumbass who comes there has to military press or bench press on it, so I never get to use it during these times. It really sucks ass because there is no way for me to work my calves except on that machine. (Not with any real weight, anyway.)
The gym isn't in all that great a shape, but of course it's better than nothing. I only paid $140 US for an entire year, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. It's also kind of cool that it sits about 6 stories up, on top of a department store, so it's an original view for a gym.

haha i will def get some pics tomorro.
yes westerns and the old fellas talk about how they would fuck the middle aged women on tv. they discuss their health issues and swear a lot.
Haircuts are 3quid every third saturday. The barber comes in the gym with a hoover and goes down to the changing room. Many people come in just for the haircut. He may cut 10-12 times on any 3rd saturday
yes toast is made inthe kitchen. The menu is funny as fuck. He makes porridge and bananas lol

A girl came in once when i was trianing. bear in mind i was sweating covered in chalk and am almost 6'4 and 230lbs.
He shouted over 'John theres a girlk for you' I turned round apparantly like a fucking rapist breathing heavily and looked at her.
She looked like i was going to rape her...she never returned.
She only came up for a sandwich

LOL, liked it.
Honestly that girl is fucking beautiful.

I go to the same gym as Goudy.
And I've observed 40 year old men acting like 12 year old girls, throwing temper tantrums and huffing with other gym members. Pathetic.

Group of Vietnam Vets that train every morning between 8-10 am. The gym seems to be more of a social gathering for them than actual working out. Still good guys though.
In the last 2 years lots of Arab guys joined. Have NO CLUE how to train. They do a set of bicep curls, pose, set of bench press, pose, set of quad extensions, pose...repeat a few times. Walked in on them in the locker room hitting calf shots and when they saw me they just pretended like they were just drying their hands.
One huge juicer...about 6'1" close to 300 lbs. Really massive, always trains with a tank top. He's got the reddish/pink skin tone and glistens with sweat.
The "girl" behind the desk when you first walk in is at least 50 + lbs overweight. One of the most disgusting women I have ever laid eyes upon.
Only a handful of serious bodybuilders. Every Saturday morning a powerlifting crew comes in and takes over the squat racks, not a big deal since people only use them for shrugs.
An old power lifter who limps like he needs a cane comes in with his wife and does crazy powerlifting movements.
Hot Asian girl who comes in and does the hoola hoop for 20-30 minutes in the aerobics room.
-
would you have raped her if you were in a room with her and nobody else ever would have found out goudy!!?!
would she scream or could i gag her LOL

Haha Shoolboy actually drove a 40year old to madness by saying 'I would prefer if you dont talk to me when i am benching' and carrying on nonchalantly...was very funny...guy threatened to kick ass but every time he has been in the gym with Schoolboy not a word was said by the older guy LOL
-

I wasn't clear enough. Assistance powerlifting work. Putting 2x4s on his chest and benching, benching off the floor in the squat rack with the pins set very low..makes one hell of a noise when he drops the bar. Connecting elastic bands to the bar and benching...etc.
-
Ha ha Shelby actually drove a 40year old to madness by saying 'I would prefer if you dint talk to me when i am benching' and carrying on nonchalantly...was very funny...guy threatened to kick ass but every time he has been in the gym with Schoolboy not a word was said by the older guy LOL
He was right. People should shut up while others are training, unless they know it's ok. We have a member who says "Well I don't think I can handle it" (on a semi relaxed manner) to his spotter while benching a little too heavy.

Goudy funny story about the girl ha
There is this one fat ass guy, we're talkin obese, with long hair who wears a skintight bodysuit. The only reason i really noticed him was that he literally takes so long in the lockeroom to get dressed. I had the misfortune of being next to his locker a few times. I really think he just likes to be naked in the locker room. He puts on all his shirts , headband, and IPOD on before even puttin on his boxers. The whole time he is facin out from his locker towards the rst of the locker room.
After gettin out of the shower a different time he sat with his wet bare ass on the bench for a good 3 or 4 minutes and was still tehre when i left.
People like that creep me out.

Lots of Chaldeans at my gym.
:-X i feel 4 you ..
let me guess ...Powerhouse ...next to big beaver ?
Farmington Hills Powerhouse ? ( I got a funny incident there ... told some tough ass chaldean to answer his cell phone as it rang on and on and on and loud ... he mouthed off. . next time he's in the gym w/ 6 of his buddies and they were looking like they wanted to do something ... next time I bump into him at the blue oyster in birmingham and he get on the cellie and like 12 chaldeans come rushing in barely missing me as I was making my exist ...it was packed ..cocky...annoying, all badasses with their crew .. this kidis a kid who comes frommoney and likes to hang out with hard guys. My training par5tener at that time was Eric Stocz ...ex tight end for the Lions...they gave him some looks but Eric was a semicelebrity so next they wanted to be buddy buddy w/ him so they invited him to hang out ... I'm a friendly person but hated most chaldeans ... nasty race )

My gym has a lot of "clones" walking around. Basically all have the same look. Some juiced up guys who like to walk with their lats fully spread, have absurd "I'm a cage fighter" expressions on their face, ridiculous poorly done tribal tatoos and assorted bad ink jobs all over, the mandatory shaved head or crew cut with obligatory goatees, grunting at the top of their lungs. LOL I probably just pissed off half the getbiggers who no doubt have "adopted" this style in their quest to resemble what they think a weightlifter needs to look like.

Haha, right said Fred! I'm fortunate that I don't train in a commercial gym anymore, so no more typical meatheads with ego's as big as a whale, dump cardio babes with iPods or smiling fitness homo's in my space :)

Ok, well if you were one of the early ones, then that's perfectly cool. You're one of the leaders. Nothing wrong with the style, just think there are too many imitators and followers.

Instead of talkin about everyone else in the gym I'll describe myself. I'm always quiet and always have headphones on listening to my IPOD. When both men and women pass by and we make eye contact I always politely smile and nod my head to acknowledge them. I occassionally talk to a few people very briefly. I never yell, I never talk on a cell, I never carry a gallon of water. Items I do bring each workout include wrist wraps and my IPOD clipped to my clothes.....sometimes I take a weight belt. I don't ever slam weights, I don't ever yell during sets, but I will grit my teeth on a heavy set and probably turn a little red. I wipe off equipment I use. I say "please" and "excuse me" and "pardon me" and I always try to let people work in that would like to; although, I don't get many asking to work in....1 or 2 here and there. I don't mind asking anyone for a spot, but I keep my asking to a minimum and do the weightlifting myself. I never walk with my arms or thighs flared out. I always wear sleeves. I never give advice and on those rare occassions if I'm asked a "lifting question" I always say something like, "I'm no kind of trainer, but this is what works for me," and I lay it out simply.
