Title: Today at the gym (whats wrong with those guys)
Post by: Meso_z on July 12, 2011, 08:42:32 AM
I was working out minding my own business.

Did a set of bb rows, I would say "heavy".. finished the set and walked tll the corner to take a breath and rest.

There was a man in his 40's..probably a kickboxer or something..as I was passing in front of him to my next set he started throwing punches to the air and kicks, pretty fast I would say but who cares.

whats the purpose of this? probably to "intimidate" me or something?  ::)

because his talents are not necessarily visible until he performs them... the physical actions were to ensure the people around were made well aware of his skill aquisition

For a good 2-3 years after I stopped training in kickboxing, I would start shadow boxing for no reason what so ever. Drinking a beer with soem friends? Put the beer down and shadow box for ten seconds, take a sip of the beer, what we talking about again? Professor is talking about something I don't care for, time to remember that time I ducked 10 punches in a row sparring. This shit takes a long time to get out of your system.

This reminds me about the little incident years back in my old gym. There was punching bag hanging in the hook on the roof, but the hook was little too "open", so if you hit it in the right angle, it drop out of the hook. It was quite heavy, something like 100 lb, so it was pain in the ass to hang it back. Once there was two brats hitting and kicking that bag with non existent power and all the moves learned from the "Karate Kid"- movies. It went on and on and it start to make it hard to concentrate to my training, so I walk by the bag, look at it, look at the brats and then kick it to the bottom of it as hard as I could. It fly of the hook and drops on the floor with a great "WHAM". I look at the brats, who were there standing with their mouth open, and say:"It isn't all those fancy moves, but how much power you can apply to your opponent in right time and place". And of they go, and never come back.

There is this Broski I always see at the gym.  He's one of those guys who is always at the gym whenever you go, doesn't matter what day or time of day you go, he is there.  He tries to impress people by loading up 405 on the pins in a cage but sets it up so it's outside the cage, does the ugliest shrugs you've ever seen, drops it full on the floor making a terrible crash on the last "rep" , then asks someone to help him get it back up on the pins, haha.

We had a 100 pound canvas heavy bag set up in our bachelor pad me and 2 other buddies. We had the beer pong table set up pretty close to it. I missed a shot walked over and hit the bag as hard as I could. The whole thing completely unraveled. All of these wrags came flying out of it. People looked at me like I was crazy. No one else realized the night before I stabbed the bag right in the center with a ten inch hunting knife. Pretty epic lol  ;D

Everyone has some insecurity and for a lot of guys it's that other guys are getting more attention than them so they need to stand out (no different to women).

I remember as a 19 year old Natural BB there was a guy who hit the bag all the time in the gym and would say about me 'You can't get to *******'s size without steroids' couldn't handle being smaller than a 19 year old.

BBer's notice it because we get it so much, seemed to die off a bit once i got to a certain size because most get too scared to say something.

It would have been inappropriate for him to expose his thick, veiny cock for you on the gym floor and he probably thought this was the next best way to impress you.  You obviously set off his gaydar.

he felt threatened and dominated by other men including you and wanted to show you that he could dominate you with his fists and feet if he wanted to, but basically he s restraining himself from killing every other males because he s too wise for that. He's too humble. If you feel bad somewhere, dont go in that place, period. These people are so frustrated about their own lives. Their fat wife, or their divorce, their kids who dont love them and they dont love, their shitty job, their shity physique, being old and knowing some younger people are smarter than you sooner and will have a better life...

Proof you can be 14 y/o or 40 y/o and be inconceivaly insecure and immature.

On a side note, this is why the gym is for morons. At some point, after some years, if you dont get sick of it it means you ve become a moron too, and adapted by following a moronic attitude to fit with them.

His skill in hitting nothing but air? I crack up when people shadow box as if it makes them better. All they do is just ruin their form and timing.

i always though that gyms are repair for nuts people but there no other place where ton's of plate and bar are available.
but if i'm aware of that fact, does that mean i'm not in a moronic attitude.
