Do you?
Do you enter the locker room and go like "legday!! what you guys training?" (even to people you never seen before)
maybe walking up to a dude after he's done with the legpress and saying "good set man!"
-
If someone does a hard set I will run over and high 5 them, sometimes I stand behind people and count reps out using my fingers whilest also screaming and looking mean...
-
Galeniko speaks to everyone at length in the gym....for hours on end, I have to get him on a head lock and drag him out when we needed to go. Me, I only speak when spoken to....a man of a few words.
-
I don't go to the gym.

Quality words, spoken sweetly?.. propper bodybuilding gyms always have a good atmosphere and you always tend to have a laugh, you go to the same place for years , see the same people, call and gossip about them when there not there etc
-
IF I go into the locker room. My head is straight down. I don't want any confusion as to my homo-ness. I don't want to be anyone's papi. I don't want to play 'two bears roll over'
Nothing!
There are a few guys at the gym that I bullahit with, but usually I'm sucked by so much air, i couldn't talk if I wanted to
-
i dont know man
i went to the gym today, three of us entered the locker room at the same time and nobody said a word, thats kinda weird too isnt it

Repressed homo is homo.
-
Yes I do. "If you don't stop sitting on that leg extension machine I will throw you off of it."

exactly.
what the hell are people afraid of, say "hey" , a nod of the head...it won't kill you.
and unless your'e Army of one...people won't start laughing at you and calling you a queer licker of balls
I tend to be dry with people. like if some juiced out freak is banging up heavy weights, i'll say "today's your light day, eh?" i say it so they get it, and laugh.
it's all part of the teachings.
-
I just keep to myself. rests are often 3 min, I like rest, focus and do the next with no distractions.
-
sometimes when i'm taking selfies in the gym locker room, I'll remind others to put their nut sacks away so as to not fck up my picture.
insane how inconsiderate people can be at times... drying their arse, washing their faces, when all I'm trying to do is take semi-nude posing pics which obviously couldn't be taken in the privacy of, say, my own bathroom.

the gym has more lighting options, very important
-
I train with ear-buds on, so that pretty much cuts down on people who want to chat.

I always found looking forward with a stone cold glare until they stopped talking and simply walked away to be sufficient.
-
do you all have the same hardcore attitude everywhere else in life or just in the gym?
lets say youre on the beach and goes for a swim you give people a "stay outta the water champ"
in the groceryshop "im heading for the bananas, keep away from me"
or maybe youre just wearing earbuds everywhere, all the time
-
I do, I go the same time every day, so the same people are there.
-
The "bro chat" in the locker room annoys the fuckin' hell outta me. The same dudes (96% of gym goers) who look like shit anyway. And guys who whistle while getting changed make me break out my ear buds faster than a gunman pulls his pistol at a showdown. Fuckin' annoying twats, shut the fuck up already.
If it's not the dudes with the bro talk, whistling, it's the gay ass music they play. There is just no way around using ear buds and I check my bag ocd style to make sure I have them.

Basically "are you a broke loser with no life? Animal. Hardcore!"
Lol that is a doosey of a marketing campaign.
-
Well sometimes in the gym I say the occational hi, sup, what you doing today, is it more beneficial putting food or water in a capacitor before you eat it/drink it etc etc. normal stuff.

I was doing squats, and after doing 3 sets of 5's, this one guy comes talking with me about all types of shit under the sun, and my brakes between sets spread to 5 minutes even, my knees went cold, and it felt awkward to squat two more sets of 5's and I had knee pain the next day >:(

that's a completely different scenario. i will talk to people, chit chat...but when you start messing me up, i cut you off. not rude..just," i gotta do this set." and I turn my back to them . mid sentence , i don't care. the workout is the priority.

Haha i do get that anxiety/pressure just wih small talk, i guess because its so frivelous and predictable it seems so fake, which basically makes me feel anxious

gyms attract a lot of weird lonely types
theres one guy @ my gym ( a 24 hr chain) who barely does any training @ all- just wanders around looking for people to talk to

There was a guy in my old gym who walked back and forth from the water fountain to the mirror (50 feet) talking to himself for 30 minutes straight.
He would occasionally knock out a set of abs on a machine that was halfway but that was all I ever seen him do.
He also always wore the same exact thing too. Black sweatpants, grey tank top, adidas ballcap.

Shouldn't spend so much time sitting on your knees then, pretty boy. :-*
OT: Used to talk more, now just zoning out with music. Life is more enjoyable without empty conversations with people you don't care about.

I have realised this too. That's why I don't have social anxiety anymore, kind of ironic. Free your mind, your ass will follow.

Why wouldn't you?

Better than how I could ever worded this in 1000 life times....

I've been going to the same couple of gym for years so they're people that I know now so I'll talk with them.

do you train with Gal?

My wife won't even come down and talk to me when I am in the hole. Pure perfect solitude.
I couldn't imagine the depths of my anti-social behavior should I be forced to revert to a commercial gym.

Headphones work wonders when I don't want to talk.
-
I go early. Less people. A few nods, a couple of 'heys,' and a 'see ya' to the front desk.
-
Yes , I'll talk with normal people (not creepy old schmoe-mos) because I'm not autistic.

So no conversations with primemuscle while you're lifting?
-
lol at the hardcore people who cant chat in the gym because they need to focus on their 15 pound dumbbell curls.
I dont talk to EVERY person in the gym, but there are a handful of people I chat with throughout my workout. Why wouldn't you? ??? ???
-
I ONLY chat with girls, if they smile at me or respond to my smile...
That's the only time the iPod earphones come off!!! Truth! ;)
-
GUY at my gym great guy,thick 45/50 ,he trains plugs in ear/sunglasses on ,he has shaved head/goatee Goldberg esque...
-
Well yes. Usually before and after. If not too intrusive, during. What the hell...It's a "country club"...and I mean that in a positive light.
-
Since I'm the only one in my home gym, the answer is "yes"... Lots of voices in my head...
-
always talk about our epic cycles and talk shit about people who ego lift and or are fatsos
Kill yourself immediately.

When you're a busy man, you don't have time for silly, meaningless exchanges at the gym. You do what you have to do, then get back to business:

it just takes me out of my zone. The few times I've bs'd was when I was having such a crap day, it didn't matter. But I just can't perform at my best unless I'm all in. And yes, I appear as "the serious dude" surely some, ok, many don't like me as I really keep to myself and it appears kinda anti social. thing is, I'M a real life clown. The more people and distractions, the bigger asshole I act to remain focused.
Help me getbig.

I try not to.

whoever im training with i will lol other than that not really
-
I might say something to the people i know, but in general i just keep to myself. If there is someone worth saying something to i might, but i prefer to just keep to myself. I'm a social person to an extent, i just don't go around constantly talking to people. I know some people in the gym that will talk your head off if you say anything to them.
If someone wants to talk i'll stop and chat, not a big deal.
