Title: Damn I hate the gym after New years
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on January 02, 2008, 06:46:18 AM
Usually the time I get in the gym its dead, maybe 10 people working out, but always like clockwork the first 2-3 weeks of Jan. there are all of the New Years resolutioners there hogging up the machines, leaving weights on the floor, the gym looks like a pig sty.  Fvcking fat asses doing seated dumbell curls with 2.5 pounds on one of the 3 bench presses.  WTF!  Then there is the jackasses that are squatting the bar for 1000 reps and hogging that machine.

I know that I just need to deal with this for a couple weeks and these losers will go back to their lazy lives and the gym will get back to normal. 

Meltdown over.  back to work!

Hell, some come in the first day after never working out for years, then go balls to the wall, then the next morning feel like they were in a car crash all sore, unable to move and never end up coming back to the gym.

Like all the losers that quit smoking.  I'll see them all huddled up outside in about a week with their cancer sticks hanging out of their mouths.

The people that claim that there new yers resolution is to quit smoking and a week later have a cancer stick hanging out of their mouths are more pathetic than the people that quit the gym after 2 weeks.

I guess smoking is a pet peeve of mine. Fucking nasty!!!

  Tell me about it. I have been wanting to join a different gym because the one I go to now sucks. It is more of a fitness center than gym and they don't have that many free weights. I have a squat rack at home so I do most of my stuff at home...and then go to there for the dumbells and cable stuff.But it is hard to stay motivated at home,I much prefer going to a gym..but I don't want to be looked at like a "new years resolutioner" by the regular members so I am gona stay put for another month or so.

It's the same here in every June, when the weather is getting warmer and all the fat people think that they can get that "beach body" in couple of weeks, so they join a gym and then stop going there before the end of June.

So you are saying that you look like you don't regularly work out? ;) I mean it's quite easy to separate those "resolutioners" from regular gym-goers, since the resolutioners always look like they have never touched the weights in their life.

I can't stand them. Some of them are so out of shape you just know they're fucked4life with a shitty body.

They think the water fountain belong to them and never wipe their revolting, fetid sweat from the equipment.

Some of the young girls are welcum tho.

well you have a point.  Another dead give away is the horrible form they will use. I think side laterals are the most butchered up exercise ever .They also have no logical order to what exercises they will do.

It's happened every year since I've started working out and never lasts more than 2-3 weeks.  ;D

Gym owners usually offer deals on memberships around this time of year.

LOL. Sweet Jesus, my point is: why in the fcuk do you need to pose. You're not getting on a stage. And don't give me some line about muscle control or hardening it, thereof. We have a few dudes at our place that compete who discretely check themselves out, the rest who pose are just that: poseurs and douches.  :)

The sad thing is, that for me what you've just described is my everyday gym experience. It's just that this time of year, we get an infusion of extra assholes..... :-\

This time of the year is the best in the gym.  It's almost a guarantee that some slob who hasn't worked out in years will get on the flat bench, put 2 plates on each side, and then not be able to get the bar off of his chest so the plates go flying off each side.  But for the most part, the New Years Resolutioners don't get in my way because they mostly just use machines, the swiss balls, or cardio equipment.

Today in the gym, I saw a fat pimply kid wearing sweats.  Drinking a 2 lieter of mountain dew while he trained.  Normally I could give a rats ass about others in the gym... but I checked... the kid drank the entire 2 liter while he trained.  He was doing curls and dumbbell side raises.  Drank all the Dew in 30 minutes or something.  Disgusting.

I agree completely.

But an entire 2-liter while training?  What is that, 1500 calories?  Of pure sugar.  And the caffeine... WTF... easily 500 mg in a 2 liter.

Maybe he didn't have time to properly carbo load before his lateral raises.

Wow. I probably would've puked just watching that.

Seriously though every year I would take the first two weeks of January off from training. If I felt as if I had to train I'd go late at night. This was just to beat those guys & gals who crowd the gym the first couple of weeks. However, this year I took the last two weeks of December off to rest my elbow. It wasn't too bad but then again Wednesday at 1100AM isn't the most popular time to train. The real test will be Monday & Tuesday of next week.  :-\

my gym offers special deals and accommodations for cops -since so many of us went there.. they give us special lockers for us to put our sidearms in, which is behind the counter, in plain view so nobody would fuck with it. and theres a big sign that says nypd lockers..

so one time at new years a bunch of newbies were at the counter signing their contracts and whatever..so i go back there to put my gun away and someone screams "he's got a gun". then everyone hits the ground and people started running towards the exits. it was funny as shit. it caused so much confusion you could see people in the back ducking behind the weight stacks.

Yes.

Yes, I secretly sampled his saliva.  It had nothing to do with carbonation bubbles or a distinct green bevergae color.  I used the tried & true method of sampling the wares of another man's piehole. 


Yes. 

That's the ticket.

So there are some good things about the New years resolutioners.  Saw some real hot pussy today.  These two chicks were smoking.  Dressed with the tightest clothes and looked sweeeet.  Too bad the other fat asses were still there, hopefully in 2 weeks the fat asses will go back to their old habits but I hope the new hotties stay
