Title: Crowded vs empty gym
Post by: the trainer on April 03, 2014, 11:57:36 AM
Do you prefer to train in the gym when its crowded or when its empty, in a crowded gym you have to wait your turn when someone is using the weights and this slows your workout but at the same time you get a vibe and energy from the crowd, all the hot girls and people stopping and staring impressed when you are pushing heavy weights.

 When nobody is in the gym you have all the weights for yourself but its not the same energy or vibe and no hot girls to raise your test levels and nobody to be impressed with your heavy weights.

Empty if only for the lack of waiting around.
I dont take much notice whos in the gym when Im there.
Im in and out, I nod to around 8 people and talk to 4.

Depends what I'm training. If it's legs you're usually fine no matter what day. Arm day you use dumbells that are popular (I do curls, twinks do dumbell presses) and cables are busy all the time.

Meh, I'd still go for crowded as long as I get a parking space.

Good question.

I prefer late at night when it's empty and late morning when there is mostly old people who stay off the stuff I use but just enough cardio bunnies to get a little test boost from.  :D

Least favorite time is after work crowd around 6pm. Way too many people you have to wait to use anything.

I prefer a crowded gym to train myself in.. has a tendency to turn my working sets into 315/365lbs rather than 275/305, knowing that people are staring.

training clients though, I prefer an empty gym, as clients don't feel so self conscience, and they pay attention to instruction a lil better.

Meltdown is a phrase used on the internet, it isnt used in real life.
Its used where a poster has no where else to go logically so throws a hissy fit.

I dont really care what you look like, in fact I know you dont look anything like what 6gms of gear should make you look like.

You carry on throwing good money after bad chasing mediocrity.

come on bro, you can't judge someone by old photos taken a mere gram of tren. That's practically natural.


Empty for me, I hate sharing workout space especially when I'm doing things like floor presses and some fat housewife decides to step over you.

Do you basically have to go to exclusive/expensive gyms in order to have space to work out? The only gym I've gone to that had plenty of space was probably a few hundred a month. I enjoyed that week of guest pass'd luxury. Going to a busy gym makes me anxious and cuts into the benefits of working out

he runs around the board talking multi gram cycles peptides and insulin.

I stroll in wearing my Letterman jacket, just until I get a solid base pump (level 1 pump) performing 20-25 rep sets of hammer curls and alternating tricep extentions. Just to warm up the joints and get some blood flowing into the pythons (injury prevention).

Next I remove the Letterman jacket and proudly display it on the nearest hammer-strength incline press for all the rival school football players to gawk at and not make a move on me cuz Im a true alpha.

Once I get fully warmed up I start really putting in work, 225lb inclines, picking the next rap song to get my swole on too with my Beats By Dre headphones on full blast.

Every now and then I get some haters that ask when I graduated, I usually respond with "a few years back, twink" and then throw on some dimes for 245lb incline for a solid 3 reps.

I usually try and holler at some tail, asking them what colleges they are applying to, asking about where the keggers are gonna be this weekend, etc.

You are not the bible, where you can self-reference to prove your lies. You have said yourself you will never post info which would make you identifiable. You specifically said that you do this because you do not want the cops to find out you are again breaking the law by dealing steroids. So which is it? Are you coming clean anywhere besides your own mind? Or are you again NOT posting anything checkable, just trying to bluff your way out of it again? The latter is no longer working with anyone here, maybe you've noticed.

Why fear, bro? Just post a pic. Doesn't have to be a head shot. Just your body against something nondescript. I've posted pics of myself where I look like total shit on this forum. If I can do it, then you can also come clean about looking like shit. Just do it, bro. No fear, no queer.
