I think these retards think it's called a "LAP" pulldown, I see so many fat bitches pulling it all the way down to their legs

I use the standing calf press as a viking press sometimes. ;D

I see men and women doing that, haha. Sometimes I want to help then I snap back to reality and think to myself live and learn, bitchs.

I saw a guy on the seated calf raise machine with 4 plates. His shoes were damp from the snow and they slipped off the foot platform and the plates / swinging arm came down and slammed into the bottom of the machine.  It sounded like someone fired a gun.  ;D

It's interesting how few people can stick with a routine...then, how many of those can stick to a reasonable diet.
Of those, just a few can make great gains without drugs.
I'm awesome. ;) ;D

Don't worry. It's just everyone working on their New Year's resolution.

In a couple of weeks they will forget all about it.

I feel it is my duty to make people feel uncomfortable and uneasy at the gym.

For example, when they are doing an exercise, just stand as close to them as possible. You would be surprised how effective it is.

Or if in doubt, a serious case of ILS and a severe stare down will scare even the bravest man... 8)

You just have to wear the correct attire to gym. Clears up pretty quick.

In my experience, you lose about 33% or 1/3 the NYRI "New Year Resolution Idiot" members each month, so by the end of March, you should be about back to normal.  That is of course until the "I wanna get in shape and get abs" summer crowd comes in.

This guy was trying to do Tricep pushdowns the other day but his elbows never moved, the only thing he was moving was his traps.  I asked him if he was trying to work Triceps and he said yes, then I showed him how to do it correctly.  The guy reduced the weight did a few reps correctly then he disappeared.  The stupid tool probobly didn't even know what Triceps were.

I'm at a University so it's twice as bad. Students workout for free (technically...the fee is hidden in the tuition) and there are mad amounts of people. Yesterday I had to go in at 10 a.m. just get in my quad work and today at 8 a.m. for chest work so I wouldn't have someone in my way. Last night when I went in at 9p.m. to do hamstrings and calves it was absolutely jacked. Luckily hamstrings and calves are neglected bodyparts on the majority of people, and no one gets in the way unless it's some idiotic girl doing 17 sets of 3 on the lying leg curl. And yes, the form these people have is just hortrocious (horrible + atrocious). The winner so far was a guy getting on the Chest Supported Row and trying to bench press with it. One word....solid.

hahaha, i remember a friend of mine telling me to do that back in high school. I think I did it once then realized I looked like a retard and went back to the leg press (no squat rack in our ghetto gym).

the only time I can get into my gym is early morning if I don't want there to be space to even move
afternoon, it's packed, it's bullshit!

What I also find ironic is to hear some at my gym who joined just before the new year complaining about the "newbies" even though they've only been there a week or two longer.

The gym I go to is probably 80% or higher middle age to senior citizens.  I can't complain because I get to go there for free thru work.  And since I use mainly free weights, I rarely have to wait.
