Hahahaha, how true is this??
Good gyms are hard to find.
I want a lot of good equipment; space to move and play, a staff that doesn't come unglued if you do any kettle bell stuff and some place that is clean and decent. But I also realize that it is often the members that ruin a club visit and not the owner or staff.
Working out on the road is by the way always an adventure in the bizarre. Based on too many workouts done in alien clubs, I have come to the conclusion that there are now many more disgusting members working out than in past years. Here are my rules for the tribe of pathetic, nasty gym losers that give a struggling local owner a bad name:
You, the poseur! I don't care who you used to be. I don't care that you used to be big, were tough, scored a few touchdowns in high school or were the meanest guy in your fraternity. Dude, you are now in your 30s and you are a disgusting mess. Finally, by all that is holy in the fitness business, lose the string tank top. No one, and I mean not even the woman who has just walked out of prison after 30 years, really thinks that tuff of gray, scruffy chest hair works for you. You are fat, your kids are fat, your woman is fatter and those meaty arms you are so proud of are 13 inches of muscle surrounded by 4 inches of jiggling hamburger fat. Get a shirt, put down the bench press, walk away from the leg press and try a little full bodywork.
You, stinky man! There is no excuse to stink when you work out. Here is an idea stinky boy; try a clean tee shirt or shower before you work out, try some deodorant and stay away from too much garlic. You stink, we know it, and we hate you.
You stinky girl! Perfume is nice if I am drunk and it is 2:00 o'clock in the morning. Perfume is offensive if I am working out and you are standing next to me at 6:00 in the evening. As before, you stink, it is not sexy, it isn't your personal style and you are killing us out here.
You, old man in the running shorts! Reality check here for you old guy. Yes, you have had those shorts for 16 years and we know you take great pride in wearing the same outfit every day year after year, but you are scrawny, have a bony chicken ass and any short cut that high on the side lets far too many people see junk that was out of service when Carter was president.
You, body builder dude! Screaming is stupid. If you can't put it down, then don't pick it up and leaving plates on the leg press doesn't mean your huge, it means you have the penis of a sterile chipmunk. Grunting, dropping weights, leaving bars stacked, carrying jugs of green nasty crap and wearing 1990s clothes is not cool but only validates why there are only seven bodybuilders left in America.
You, horny boy! Women come to the club to have private time, get a workout in, relax without pressure and to enjoy just a few minutes of me time a day. They aren't there as your personal stable of potential dates that are sweating for your pleasure. Don't stare, don't flirt, don't wait for them in the parking lot and don't ask them out ever.
You, cell phone idiot! I don't care if you are the president of the biggest financial company on Wall Street. Talking big and loudly on a cell in the club is poor taste and only confirms that your daddy gave you the job because you are a moron. Have to take the call? Then walk away to the lounge but I do not want to sit two feet away from you and here your call. If you can't live without the phone then workout at home where you can irritate your future ex wife and leave the rest of us alone.
You, spit fool! Whatever possessed you to think that hocking up a goober the size of a house cat and then spitting it into the drinking fountain is socially acceptable? Do you really do this at home? Do you do this at work? Are you just f@#$%*ing stupid?
You, BMW boy! Hey nice you can finally afford that new 7 series car but parking it across two parking spaces so it won't get dinged is like putting a sign on it inviting anyone with anything sharp to gouge every inch of paint you have. Two spaces? Park it way out in the lot and enjoy the walk.
You, fat girl! It is your fault you are fat. Stop blaming your ex, your boss, your genes, your job, your kids, the trainers and your life. If you are wearing it then you ate it and you won't lose it until you move it. Weight is not accidental, it is usually an insidious process that takes years and only one person in the world can change the course, and that is the owner of the big jiggle herself.
You, lying members! You signed a membership agreement with the club and now you are too lazy to workout so you lie to the staff because you don't want to pay anymore. Try a little personal responsibility here and pay for what you signed for. Clubs are not gold mines, all those cars don't mean a lot of money and you are a liar that would be indignant if that happened in your business.
You, seat saver! Hurray, you got to class early but do not try and save bikes in the front for all your friends. One member, one bike and let the next person in take their own chances. You drive members away by being rude and you aren't paying nearly enough for the owner not to throw your ass out.
And the rest of you rude members out there, pick up your garbage, don't pee on the seat lids you disgusting human piece of trash, don't flush your personal thingies down the stool, don't leave gum in the urinals, wipe the sweat off the benches, don't shower and then get your soaking wet ass on a scale, don't stand there naked lecturing me abut the economy, don't hog three pieces of equipment because you just read about tri-sets in a magazine and don't by any chance try and offer advice because you have been working out wrongly for 15 years.
Owners have hard enough time without trying to make adults out of immature idiots who have no respect for anyone around them. Be courteous, be nice and help make the club a decent and enjoyable place to go.
And most importantly, to you fart boy, you might be the rudest of them all. There is a special room in hell for you populated by hundreds of flagellant factory workers amped up on cheap beer, hot wings and shots of bourbon just waiting to blow you into eternity.

Long negative rant by someone who probably shouldn't be in a position dealing with people. "Coach" forgot to credit the author of this piece.

Sure I can. Why just tonight I was reading letters from Penthouse to your mom...then she went out for a smoke.

I agree except for the ''fat girl'' what? this guy takes it as an insult to see a fat girl at the gym, what a fucken moron, everyone has to start somewhere, there is nothing better then to see fat people work out and finally better themselves. Ya let's run all the fat people out of the gym so they can just get fatter ::) ??? what a fucken idiot.
-
Do you let liberals and atheists train at your gym?

It's no surprise to hear you say that because you're one of the fatties who need to trim down. My coaching will help you attain a lean body; my rates start at 1 grand for a start. :P

Sure, as long as they don't complain about what's hanging on my wall..

Personally, I found a lot of truth in this assessment of people who go to the gym. Fortunately, these aren't the only folks working out.
One thing I think you missed is the gaggle of teenagers (usually 4 or 5 of them) who hog a piece of equipment by taking turns using it. Their rest times are several minutes long because they have to wait for all 5 of them to get their set in.

Coach, did that too long piece of crap article mention anything about people who give their word they're quitting Getbig, but don't have the stones to follow through with it?

haha! he'll never leave. he thinks he's actaully needed here. fucking god-bothering hypocrite ::)
-
Hahaha, as if it matters what two gimmicks think. Lol. I'm sorry, who are you again?
-
How is one supposed to push it to the max without making a bit of noise? At a real gym you dont find pussies keeping their mouths shut while training not to offend staff or other members...

Hahahaha, I'm sure you don't understand the meaning of intensity in the gym judging by your toothpick frame and limbs. I on the other hand am swollen with sheer size because of my laser-sharp focus and outright aggression with the weights bro.
-
empty gym would be ideal
-
Fucking spot on. I have seen every sad case of these mentioned in my gym over the 4-5 yrs ive been there.with some of them being still at it.

fuck the author of that stupid article.
i guess the only people he approves of are people JUST LIKE HIM, stringy little twats who do gay bosu ball shit for 'functional strength' , never say two words to anyone and run out the door when they are done.
i guess the focus needed to do 40 crunches is SO GREAT that you can't spare any mental energy to talk to anyone between sets, when you are fucking sitting there doing nothing.
yeah, you're in a crowded gym with 50 other people in close proximity, but no one talk...this is serious business
Save the talk, and the hitting on women and jerking off in general for when you go back to work ;) ::)
-
yeah, you're in a crowded gym with 50 other people in close proximity, but no one talk...this is serious business
I seldom talk to people at the gym, Im there to do something for myself, get in, get it done and go and do something interesting ASAP.
I would never strike up a conversation with anyone, I assume they are there to train, save your talking for the juice bar.
Oh and stop hogging the equipment , meathead.
-
idk i think anyone who doesnt use the gym as a place for pussy is straight up retarted. you have an excuse to show off your body (without looking like a douche). Your pumped and look the best you ever will.....and its very easy to make a casual move.
also most chicks are insecure at the gym without their make up on and shit, much better chance of scoring some dime there then when shes out and all done up...

Fuck you, asshole. Lifting is serious business. If you don't understand something a concept as simple as that then you've got no business being in the gym. No wonder you look like shit dude and it's not your age.

Allow me to clarify, people approach me every time i'm in the gym, just to say hi...or ask my advice about training.
I'm not an asshole who's going to blow them off or chastise someone for GOD FORBID saying hello to someone they see every fucking day for the last two years, or ask advice from a trainer who is far more advanced.
when you are very muscular and very good looking, there are things you just have to deal with. people will find an excuse to talk to you, or take a picture with you....just be cool and gracious about it.
-
So how do those rules work when you're working out alone and need a spot ???
-
lol at the predictable "hardcore" ones who go to the gym only to train hard and "stay focussed" haha, as if theyre ronnie coleman.
angry look into mirror while flexing and all.hahaha.
YUP.
PS...... Ronnie Coleman goofs around between sets of 800 pound squats, but these "animals' can't say hi to some dude they see every day at the gym for the last year. I text my GF, bullshit with my training partner, make phone calls, talk to half a dozen people....BETWEEN SETS....... every time I'm at the gym.
Here's the thing....... you can be Arnold S. in the gym, or you can be Mike Mentzer...I'll take Arnold.

Ronnie Coleman and I take turns to shit on you, hahahahahahaha, Mr Toothpick.

I text or post on getbig 1/3rd the time at the gym, 1/6th of my time is flirting with the 8 girls at my gym, two of which i brought.. 1/3rd of the time staring at myself in the mirror, and 1/6th lifting more weight than anyone else..
You are a true phaggot if you need to act like a hard ass and go hardcore in the gym all the time. I would kill myself and stop lifting if my lifts were all like that. I enjoy the gym for more reasons than just lifting weights.
-
Ronnie Coleman and I take turns to shit on you, hahahahahahaha, Mr Toothpick.
You are not funny.
-
So how do those rules work when you're working out alone and need a spot ???
Out of luck Clavin, you can't walk up to someone who looks experienced , who's resting between sets...and BOTHER them, you are ruining their workout.
Also, now you have broken the ice, we can't have that. what if he's a cool dude,, and says "what's up" to you next time you are at the gym? or asks you a question... what if he asks YOU for a spot? You see the can of worms you have opened ???
-
The best case scenario is a good home gym. Public gyms are fine if thats the only option.
-
You are not funny.
Thanks, kid.
-
Thanks, kid.
Thats all you got? Since when was a guy over 30 considered a kid?

And if the gorgeous girl with the breathtaking body in spandex is working her glutes and asks you,
"Am I doing this right and can I get a spot" ???
-
Sounds like those Hipsters who think everyone else is worthless but never look at themselves in the mirror.

Where was he when Hitler was conquering the world?

On that note I like how the dickhead who wrote the original article (he's a crusty old man BTW) chastises women for wearing perfume and makeup, and then calls out guys who try and hit on chicks, saying that's "not why they are there"....actually that's exactly why some of them are there... with sexy clothes and makeup on...and their hair done, stupid ;)

I got no problem with that when you are doing a set, but this isn't rocket science, how freaking hard is it to concentrate when you are exercising ? you have to meditate between sets to be able to exercise effectively ?
I'd hate to see these mental midgets trying to put together their kid's bicycle at Christmas, do they go into coma ?

well i used to do weightlifting for a few years
and it's common there for the "laser like" focus throughout the workout
it's more technical and scary tho (like a pr in snatch can intimidate even pro lifter then they just deadlift it and walk away awkwardly)
bodybuilding is not the same tho
just need some stimulation and peds

X1000
I hate those little bastards! I think there should be an unspoken rule about not having more than 3 people training on the same piece of equipment at once.
My gym has only one group of these kids (thank god) but I remember in university there would be a bunch of these guys who would come in groups of 10 and do bench press one at a time for 2 hours straight!
-

Theres a spoken rule when Im waiting.
I wouldnt tolerate that.

It's seriously this kind of thinking here is the reason why commercial gyms are shit. Very few take training seriously and would rather NOT focus and bullshit and text and hit on women instead of train. I mean for fuck's sake, you have commercial gyms that prohibit doing deadlifts and using chalk. They've became so sissified how can you get anything done. It's a joke.

I train to prepare myself for "live or die" scenarios in real life, which I encounter frequently.

I get myself "In the zone" sittin' in the car, chugging some pre-workout Cloroxonalasatase Extreme, listening to Judas Priest and staring into the rear view mirror..... a few quick pushups in the parking lot.....you gotta look your best when you hit the door..... I like to find some chump in the parking lot....sub-200lber......and get in his face.........oh yeah, blood pressure is risin' now !!!!!..... BOOM, hit the door and stiff-arm some broad who didn't make a hole fast enough...... old school head-nod greeting to Bruno and I'm off to the "full-grown men" section of the gym......

Fuck I should have listened to you.. last night I was doing cable rows and this older broad with a big brace on her knee asked if she could work in...I felt bad for her and said sure...then I got a 20 minute story on how this was her 7th knee surgery,played hoops,did track and field,played softball,swam,qualified for the 1936 olympics... :-\ >:(

I really don't know. He was doing great when I moved in 05-06. Looked better than 90% of guys 30 yrs younger than him.
-
coach thinks hes hardcore old school.
must use chalk for deadlifts.
oh brother.who deadlifts anymore.
way to break the own spine.
i deadlifted for years without injury but i think squat is a lot more risk for injury, front squat upper spine injury back squat middle lower spine injury
anyway deadlifts are pointless, they will only widen your waist
they dont look cool at all no matter how many 20kg plates you put on (as if there are no 25kg plates......)
lol funny world
chalk... ::)
-
so did she cook your breakfast this morning, stud?
Lol,no I walked away and left her talking to someone else.
...he found me on the other side of the gym and said "Dick,you left me with her" ;D

and ................. ?
going to put that on your resume?
except for powerlifting nobody gives two shits
my best is 5x200kg (full inertion each rep) and a few minutes after i did a single with 220kg
this was with straps
my best without straps was a single with 210kg once
...........
no drugs all naturalol
......
sseeee how nobody gives two shit? i told you
-
don't wear your used Nasser posing thongs. People will get jealous.
-
who cares, rather be weaker but have better v taper.
after first 2-3 years of training, still training to get stronger is pointless,from bbuilder pov.imo.
from anywhere BUT a powerlifting point of view it's pointless
how strong is strong
as long as you can lift furnuture and open jar of pickles what is the difference between 400lbs deadlift and 500
-

That's personal preference and nothing wrong with that for you.
But, that strength can translate to increased athletic perfromance for us non-bodybuilder types. Anabolicbluto, if he's not trolling, should adopt this mentality since he's admittedly not a bodybuider and looks like shit anyway.

Stop using oiled up Coleman video as your point of reference and you'll feel better.
I look like me. Not a bodybuilder, not shitty. Well, shitty at the moment since I had a CM of my clavicle cut off last week and hadn't exercised seriously because it for 3 months prior.
Either way, deadlifts help me get/stay strong, and translate into sports performance, so they're not only good for widening the waist, as you say.

i dont know i think they're a scam/gimmick
like kettleballs, vybrams, olympic lifts etc
it's all a big nothing

Using Freakenstein as your example is your first problem. It's entirely possible to have muscle, stay lean and look good naturally. It's harder for some more than others.
Kettlebels, Olympic Lifts, and deadlifts are all fantastic and work great. You're stuck in fake bodybuilder land.
Congrats on the kid, by the way.

this.
what we do is on Sunday morning we round up a bunch of rabid dogs and let them loose in the gym, then we have to train as we fend off the attacks.
we call it E-Kule Sundays, very popular

But coach does his deadlifts with bands,chains and chalk, so people think its special.
