Title: Nearly threw down at the gym today !!!
Post by: Radical Plato on February 16, 2015, 06:22:03 PM
The crappy little gym I workout at has become a magnet for every douchebag in the neighborhood.  Probably because it is managed by a gay man who promotes hot yoga and meditation over boxing.  I have been a member at this gym on and off for twenty years but it has progressively gone down hill.  The other week they told me I wasn't able to use the boxing area where I regularly do some speedball and bag work while they had a meditation class on because they said it made too much noise.  I nearly blew my stack then, but sucked it up and now work around these douchebags.  

Anyway, I had a small window this morning before some work commitments to get in a quick workout and decided on half an hour cardio on and some leg work with very minimal rest between sets.  My focus is fitness and health and being lean as opposed to being boofy and muscular.  Anyway, for the first time in months the gym was dead empty, I had it all to myself for the first 45 minutes, but then as I was just about to start my second last set on a hamstring curl machine when this fucking young moron approaches and says "Can I jump on that machine" as if it was his birth right and I had no say in the matter.  So I start my set and say "Sorry mate I am using it", well he begins to get all pissy and pulling faces and insisting he push in.  I had heard enough and said "The gym is literally fucking empty, we are the only two people here and you want to use the one piece of equipment I am using." He continued to moan and complain so I finished my set and angrily stared this fuckwit straight in the eye and firmly asserted "You can fuck off now".  While this homo was taken aback, obviously used to getting his own way, I deduced he was an obvious Mummy's boy, and he replied sheepishly by saying "I beg your pardon".  I followed up with "Are you fucking stupid too?".  Anyway, he crawled off while mumbling god knows what under his breath.  

By now my adrenaline was up and visualizing what I assumed would be a certain fight, I mean if someone tells me to fuck off like that, well it generally ends in some fisticuffs. Fucking pussies this younger generation.  Anyway, I used the adrenaline dump to angrily fuel the last of my workout.  I will concede I was already edgy before this confrontation and may have over reacted, but my gym has countless douchebags and one can only take so much.

Now the real story.  An obvious twink of a homosexual asked you how many more sets you have left.  You said feel free to jump in.  He replied, no thanks, I'll wait.  You asked him what he was doing after his workout and he responded "I'm a bottom also, I don't think we're compatible".

if you were "boofy and big" as you mention, you wouldn't live such issues.

just take a nice power walk outside and do some pushups and you will be fit as you seek to be.

You sound like a classic bitch.  I think what type of asshole wants to use the one piece of equipment being used in the gym while they guy is actually using it in a completely empty gym.  I rest 15-20 seconds max between sets, I haven't got time to wait for some douchebag to perform his casual three minute set.  Fuck that guy and fuck anyone who behaves like that.  I never ask to work in with other people, what makes my workout more important than theirs, what gives me the right to interrupt their workout and treat their workout as less important than mine.  There is plenty of equipment in the gym, I just move on to something else and when they are done if I still want to use that piece of equipment, I do. I can't stand those fags who treat strangers like their best friends or training partners.

Meditation at the gym? Oh brother!


I Know, I couldn't fucking believe it when I found out.  I regularly  do speedball work and lots of it, lots of 3 minute, 5 minute and ten minute sets, I even take my own Jim Bradley Pro Ball to hang up instead of the cheap shit the owner provides at the gym and yes it makes some noise, and the meditation fags complained it was too noisy, well it's a gym for fuck sake, not a Buddhist temple.  I swear to God the whole world is turning queer. I'm pissed too because I just paid 12 months upfront at Christmas because the owner was selling them half price, plus it is the only gym around that has a decent boxing space with heavy bags, speed balls etc..

I have never taken roids, and I was calm until this guy got all pissy.  I don't owe him anything, why did he even ask me if it was OK if he wasn't prepared to hear 'NO".  He simply assumed he had the right to jump in, I was nearly done, was just about to start my second last set, their was an entire empty gym with other available hamstring curl machines, why single out the one I was on.  I can't stand people who are so obsessive that if they can't follow their routine to the letter they are dumbfounded.  Just find a way to move, lift and sweat, if you can't get on a machine, do something else.  Not only this, he didn't have any sweat towel, even though their are signs plastered all over the place requiring members to carry one.   I always carry two towels, one to wipe down equipment and one for myself.  Fuck that guy

Now I see why you are an ANTI GUN NUT.

You are clearly insecure and unstable.  God only knows what sort of terror you would be capable of with a gun in your hands.  This is why I think psych tests should be compulsory for gun ownership - so that we can be protected from nuts like you.

It's ok, next time just tell the person that you are on a very short rest intervals and that you will be done very soon, you can even be specific like say "2-3 mins pal and I'm done"

advice them to stretch well and warm up their legs/hams while they wait. ;)

For starters, thigh abductors are a muscle, not an exercise. And something tells me you are easily intimidated by men who don't take any shit.  I think the bigger issue here and something you probably need to ask yourself is why you find my post so threatening and respond in a futile attempt to emasculate me.  At some point, did some big scary man not let you work in with him after you decided you liked the idea of writhing in his second hand sweat?

I did that and he became argumentative, he started to insist he be able to use the machine.  I don't take kindly to people who won't accept "NO" when they request something.  I would have even been happy to complete the set I was about to do and do something else, it was that he just caught me moments before I was about to start my next set.  I have to question the motives of such a guy, it was literally an empty gym, with limitless equipment he could have used, I'm working hard and sweating, I don't really want to have to wipe down the machine after my set and after this fuckers set because he has no towel.  Fuck that guy.  As it turned out he was a pussy, he would have been at least 15 years my junior and he let  this old man treat him like a bitch.

You want to hear about being pissed off in the gym.

I am in South Florida, I go to busybody fitness on a regular basis for a few years now, a great gym, I work out with Darrem Charles on a regular basis there and it has a club feel but a bodybuilder mentality.. I joined a second gym a few minutes from my house for early am workouts, youfit.. I was working out the other morning with headphones on and a skinny guy / kid that works reception taps me on the shoulder and tells me I'm making too much noise with the weights and that they have a no noise weight noise policy.. In a gym.. I was ready to take his head off.
Instead I literally picked him up by the back of his shirt and carried him to the manager that had just gotten in, explained the situation and canceled my membership..

Point being, if you don't want to be annoyed at the gym, make sure you are going to the Right gym for you.

I'm not sure exactly, it was a gradual change, a deepening realization of how we are rendered powerless and impotent by a overbearing big brother government.  I also begun to recognize how I had been raised with this liberal fantasy of an idealistic Utopian fantasy if we could all just get along.  This mindset is prevalent through the Western world and has done nothing but create a dystopia of nightmarish proportions.  I was raised to put my faith in government and reassured they would look out for me if only I did the right thing, personal experience has taught me otherwise.

By now my adrenaline was up and visualizing what I assumed would be a certain fight, I mean if someone tells me to fuck off like that, well it generally ends in some fisticuffs. Fucking pussies this younger generation.  Anyway, I used the adrenaline dump to angrily fuel the last of my workout.  I will concede I was already edgy before this confrontation and may have over reacted, but my gym has countless douchebags and one can only take so much.
It is not your gym. It is the gym where you workout. If there are too many douchebags there, perhaps it is time you found another place to workout.

I never said it was my gym, and it used to be a great little gym, but the owner is trying to target a different market,  I only just rejoined again three months before Christmas and then extended that to an extra 12 months when he offered half price deals.  Obviously the half price deals get all the douche-bags in for a month or two until they give up.  I stick around because a) it is close to home and I walk there as my warm-up b) It is cheap (like me) c) it has a boxing space which I like d) I don't think he will refund my money.  Having said all that, if it gets bad enough I will find somewhere else to train, there is another gym close by that has recently opened up and is one of these 24/7 gyms.

You have obviously never hit a speedball have you, it is about timing not handspeed.  The speed at which I am hitting that ball is not far from competition speed.  I can also do freestyle using various techniques, including single hits (where the ball only only strikes the backboard once), and although it looks impressive and takes greater handspeed it produces less hits per minute on the backboard (which is a what they count in competition).

Now the real story.  An obvious twink of a homosexual asked you how many more sets you have left.  You said feel free to jump in.  He replied, no thanks, I'll wait.  You asked him what he was doing after his workout and he responded "I'm a bottom also, I don't think we're compatible".

Feel free to post a video demonstrating how it is done.  The training I am doing here is for speed so technique can get a little sloppy, plus this was footage of when I first got the ball, it is a pro bradley proball which are very light and fast and easy to lose control of, so yeah I agree, my technique was a little sloppy as it took me some time to adjust to the speed of the ball.  This was also about the tenth set I had done, so was starting to get a little tired, It's harder on the shoulders than it looks.

The crappy little gym I workout at has become a magnet for every douchebag in the neighborhood.  Probably because it is managed by a gay man who promotes hot yoga and meditation over boxing.  I have been a member at this gym on and off for twenty years but it has progressively gone down hill.  The other week they told me I wasn't able to use the boxing area where I regularly do some speedball and bag work while they had a meditation class on because they said it made too much noise.  I nearly blew my stack then, but sucked it up and now work around these douchebags.  

Anyway, I had a small window this morning before some work commitments to get in a quick workout and decided on half an hour cardio on and some leg work with very minimal rest between sets.  My focus is fitness and health and being lean as opposed to being boofy and muscular.  Anyway, for the first time in months the gym was dead empty, I had it all to myself for the first 45 minutes, but then as I was just about to start my second last set on a hamstring curl machine when this fucking young moron approaches and says "Can I jump on that machine" as if it was his birth right and I had no say in the matter.  So I start my set and say "Sorry mate I am using it", well he begins to get all pissy and pulling faces and insisting he push in.  I had heard enough and said "The gym is literally fucking empty, we are the only two people here and you want to use the one piece of equipment I am using." He continued to moan and complain so I finished my set and angrily stared this fuckwit straight in the eye and firmly asserted "You can fuck off now".  While this homo was taken aback, obviously used to getting his own way, I deduced he was an obvious Mummy's boy, and he replied sheepishly by saying "I beg your pardon".  I followed up with "Are you fucking stupid too?".  Anyway, he crawled off while mumbling god knows what under his breath.  

By now my adrenaline was up and visualizing what I assumed would be a certain fight, I mean if someone tells me to fuck off like that, well it generally ends in some fisticuffs. Fucking pussies this younger generation.  Anyway, I used the adrenaline dump to angrily fuel the last of my workout.  I will concede I was already edgy before this confrontation and may have over reacted, but my gym has countless douchebags and one can only take so much.

You don't understand.  This is elite conditioning rapid fire type stuff.  The plan cannot be deviated from, or the results are catastrophic, or, even worse catabolic.   Isolation hamstring curl timing is not to be toyed with.

The True Master™ will "pulse" the properly timed macro nutrients using 3 sips of Biotest's Plazma™ between each set with a rest period of no more than 33 seconds.

Only then will the true mastery of the "hamstring curl" be achieved.

There are douchebags at every gym. It's best to just ignore them, although sometimes that is hard to do.

I've been a member of the same gym for over 30 years. Most of the time the folks working out there are good people, occasionally one runs across a jerk. There are some things people do which I find particularly annoying like when a group of 3 or 4 people work out together and spend more time talking to each other than they do working out thereby hogging the equipment forever. The good news is that with a large, well equipped gym, there is always some other equipment available where one can substitute a different exercise for the same muscle group.

You sound like a classic bitch.  I think what type of asshole wants to use the one piece of equipment being used in the gym while they guy is actually using it in a completely empty gym.  I rest 15-20 seconds max between sets, I haven't got time to wait for some douchebag to perform his casual three minute set.  Fuck that guy and fuck anyone who behaves like that.  I never ask to work in with other people, what makes my workout more important than theirs, what gives me the right to interrupt their workout and treat their workout as less important than mine.  There is plenty of equipment in the gym, I just move on to something else and when they are done if I still want to use that piece of equipment, I do. I can't stand those fags who treat strangers like their best friends or training partners.

Agree with what you said, but on the other hand, The ones who walk up to a machine, gallon jug of water, gym bag, and park there for 30 minutes only to casually do 3 sets in between checking their phones  pisses me off as well.

Well,a lot of people don't take there workouts seriously and are happy to allow another person dictate their workout to them.

I am somebody who likes to actually work when I work out, I don't lift heavy but I keep moving, short rest between sets, normally never more than 5 sets and then I am done, never spend more than a few minutes at a station, which is about the average length rest time of the average gym socialite.

For starters I live in Australia so am unlikely to wear stars and stripes, as for baggy sweats, I don't even think you could purchase them if you wanted to and I don't even know what a do-rag is.  It is our hottest month of the year at the moment so i just wear some shorts, t-shirt and runners to the gym.  I actually don't think much of the bodybuilding culture, I think it is disturbing.  I like the idea of health and fitness and keeping your body active and functionally strong.  I am not pretentious in the slightest, I don't care for the current concept of metro-sexuality that see men groom themselves as meticulously as women, I prefer simple attire, short hair and more often than not like to sport a beard.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but the Beta bitch was the guy who sulked of with his tail between his legs after I told him he could fuck off now.  I gave the guy every opportunity to prove how alpha he was but he declined the invitation.  Judging by your post displaying your failed attempt to give the impression of being a tough guy, I imagine you would do the very same thing this guy did.

Aren't you the dude who describes himself as looking like a buff Viking? So you can be ready to throw down with a grown man at the drop of a hat, but can't fend off a pitbull nibbling at your foot?

Another tough guy who eats pitbulls for breakfast, Oh Brother !!!  ::).  And currently I am in OK shape but in hard training and getting leaner by the minute, a study of my family tree indicates some viking ancestry.

And if this pic is really you, you should be ashamed of yourself, put down the twinkies and hit the cardio room, you can thank me later for the advice.

For starters I live in Australia so am unlikely to wear stars and stripes, as for baggy sweats, I don't even think you could purchase them if you wanted to and I don't even know what a do-rag is.  It is our hottest month of the year at the moment so i just wear some shorts, t-shirt and runners to the gym.  I actually don't think much of the bodybuilding culture, I think it is disturbing.  I like the idea of health and fitness and keeping your body active and functionally strong.  I am not pretentious in the slightest, I don't care for the current concept of metro-sexuality that see men groom themselves as meticulously as women, I prefer simple attire, short hair and more often than not like to sport a beard.

Well fuck! Your Australian, that explains a lot, should have said that in the first place mate

Well, many getbiggers already know this, but yeah, I should point it out, we do things a little differently down here than in the States.  We don't worry about some stranger packing heat so men don't live in fear of confrontation the way they seem to in the States.

You're really tough to pick on a "mummy's boy".  Wonder how you would have reacted had it been someone not so "user friendly".  Lighten up...

The crappy little gym I workout at has become a magnet for every douchebag in the neighborhood.  Probably because it is managed by a gay man who promotes hot yoga and meditation over boxing.  I have been a member at this gym on and off for twenty years but it has progressively gone down hill.  The other week they told me I wasn't able to use the boxing area where I regularly do some speedball and bag work while they had a meditation class on because they said it made too much noise.  I nearly blew my stack then, but sucked it up and now work around these douchebags.  

Anyway, I had a small window this morning before some work commitments to get in a quick workout and decided on half an hour cardio on and some leg work with very minimal rest between sets.  My focus is fitness and health and being lean as opposed to being boofy and muscular.  Anyway, for the first time in months the gym was dead empty, I had it all to myself for the first 45 minutes, but then as I was just about to start my second last set on a hamstring curl machine when this fucking young moron approaches and says "Can I jump on that machine" as if it was his birth right and I had no say in the matter.  So I start my set and say "Sorry mate I am using it", well he begins to get all pissy and pulling faces and insisting he push in.  I had heard enough and said "The gym is literally fucking empty, we are the only two people here and you want to use the one piece of equipment I am using." He continued to moan and complain so I finished my set and angrily stared this fuckwit straight in the eye and firmly asserted "You can fuck off now".  While this homo was taken aback, obviously used to getting his own way, I deduced he was an obvious Mummy's boy, and he replied sheepishly by saying "I beg your pardon".  I followed up with "Are you fucking stupid too?".  Anyway, he crawled off while mumbling god knows what under his breath.  

By now my adrenaline was up and visualizing what I assumed would be a certain fight, I mean if someone tells me to fuck off like that, well it generally ends in some fisticuffs. Fucking pussies this younger generation.  Anyway, I used the adrenaline dump to angrily fuel the last of my workout.  I will concede I was already edgy before this confrontation and may have over reacted, but my gym has countless douchebags and one can only take so much.

There is lots of macho posturing and juvenile thinking in this thread. -Makes one wonder if Getbig is actually populated by a bunch of moronic kids with ego problems.

I gotta believe they'd   put his ass in the mud pit and make him squeal like a piggy for being an asshole.

Good solid chuckle out of this one.

When you reach the mountain top do your best Rocky impersonation. Ya know, jumping up and down? Awesome, you did it! Then go find the edge of the mountain and do your best Mark Spitz impersonation. Please.
