Title: i went to the gym today and here are my observations
Post by: thegamechanger on April 19, 2015, 12:54:04 PM
i managed to get my ass to the gym today, its been about a week since last time. im not in the zone anymore, i dont wear headphones and im not amped up, im quite shocked at how much time ive must have spent observering the others at the gym because i seem to remember a lot, here's what i saw happening:

man doing standing calves didnt go all the way up or down, what a waste i thought (still i bet he has bigger calves than me)
chubby girl did standing calves too, not sure why, she should check her diet, kinda cute but thigh-ass ratio was bad, ass needs to be bigger than thighs.
a personal trainer had his client hit the pads, not sure why, surely one can punch in the air by oneself for the same effect? then he had him do crunches.
a girl wearing camoflage tights did squats with one of those crossfit bags you can wear around your neck.
a guy was doing small jumping knees to a heavy bag, clearly a street fighter so i tried to stay away from him.
a quite big guy was doing chest presses with dumbbells, stayed clear of him to and i went and did a few sets with the incline machine instead.
two people were talking half the time i was there one of them had curly hair and reminded me of a clown.
i went and had a sip of water.
in the lockerroom one guy was naked. i quickly throw my stuff into the locker and when i turned around he was still naked and bent over. i quickly rushed past him.
when i was leaving the gym i saw a very puny guy and for a second there i smiled thinking im not the smallest guy in here. then i realized he was 15 years old.

that's about it.

Old guy in our gym we call 'the emperors new clothes' cos everytime you go to the gym, no matter what time it seems hes going into or coming out of the shower, naked
One guy, 51, has had a quadruple bypass and a few heart attacks and uses test and deca, looks like hes never even seen a gym and is on the verge of death most days, has serious nostril hair
I could go on

the theme of naked old people in the locker room is probably material enough for a thread of its own, im not sure what to think about that, maybe a lot of men are closet nudists and feel the gym locker is the only place where they can be themselves.

I would have grabbed his low hanging ball sack and shoved it up his ass, then kicked him into the lockers.

Great idea for a thread topic. 100% serious.

Yesterday at a typical chain gym on Saturday afternoon:

I forgot my water, but was able to fill a used plastic bottle I had in the trunk.
I've started using my phone and I-Heart radio and love listening t a modern techno station with ear bugs now.
I hit back, bi's and abs, plus 30 min cardio on incline treadmill ( hill program)

1. 300 lb house wife is black spandex, doing 3" reps on leg press with 2 plates. Later she was on the bike hunched over , red faced.

2. Fit, sexy brunette , age 35-40,regular here and always wears tight yoga pants. All ass, love to watch her between sets. Had to act stealthy hen she was doing bent over rows, a few feet in front of me on the Hammer Seated shrugs.

3. So some trainer using one of those goofy bosu balls in the corner. Chunky guy around my age, instructed on useless movements for the wt loss and strength/muscle gains he really needed.

4. Noticed a couple high school twinks benching with some light wt and generous spot LOL. Oh well ,gotta start somewhere.

5. Saw a BIG, athletic looking dude doing REAL full barball squats with 3-4 plates in the power rack. Had a modified faux hawk and trimmed beard. I over heard talking about playing O-line for Kennesaw State(?) when they start playing football next season.
Amazing how a real , legit athlete, training for strength/conditioning looks in an avg gym now.

The shower room/locker room was pretty empty, so no naked dude sightings of merit to report. FYI, used Pert shampoo on my hair, arm pits and butt crack...felt good.  :D

In my gym in the morning there is a shaggy from scooby doo lookalike who doesn't look like he lifts, a Hebrew contractor in his 50s who is strong but doesn't look like he lifts, a Spanish guy in 40s in good shape. A few personal training clients inc Simon cowells brother who does the minimum twice a week

One of the bigger dudes at the gym where I workout is clearly in a lot of pain. It is obvious by the way he moves. He still lifts heavy though. He's also no youngster.

Some of the fellas from the nearby college who lift at the gym push around amazing amounts of weight, making me wish I was young again. There is nothing amazing about the resistance I use lately....it's pretty whimpy.

it is quite possible, there's two rooms in the locker room, there were people in the first room so i thought ok lets try the other but the thing is, you dont really know what to find there as it's the closest to the showers...
with a little bit of imagination im sure i can imagine it being the showers of a prison.

Some of the big chain gyms are the worst when it comes to locker room cruising. For variety, I got a membership at what was then called Nautilus Plus. The cruising going on in the locker room was ridiculous. I'm normally a very laid back kind of guy but this behavior is disarming to those of us who just go to the gym to exercise. I ended up not going to this place after a couple of times and went back to the gym I've worked out at for the last 32 years. There's no obvious hanky panky going on in the locker room there.

Seem to me quite ordinary day at the gym. What I have find out is the fact, that gyms have some kind of magnetism for stupid people, because even the guys who look quite sane do ridiculous things in the gym. For now, I go to gym 3 times per week at the morning, but some times I change days, going like Tu-We-Fr or Mo-We-Th, and what I have realize is that I see same guys every time I go there, no matter which days I choose. This may be possible only if these dorks are training every day at the week, and by far, that is the most stupid thing to do because most of them are naturals. They train relatively hard and with heavy weights, so how they will recover from all that training? For me, if I train legs at the Wednesday, I have no need to train them before next week, because they are sore for days after training. These dorks are training legs twice or even three times per week, and what's best, some of them go in the gym twice per day like pro's who are filled with gear.  And when I compare their technique to my own, there is this difference: I add weight week by week and my posture and range of motion remain same all the time. They add weight day by day and their posture is crappy, and their range of motion gets shorter and shorter week by week. I have some times point this out some of the guys and explain how much better results they would get with correct ROM, but I find it to be useless because they doesn't seem to understand these complicated terms like "correct" and "range of motion".  For example, there was this young fellow doing "bent over" rows like Yates used to do them, meaning standing right up, and between the sets this guy was holding his lower back and limping around and whine. I ask him if he realize that the pain comes from the crappy posture and too heavy weights, and if he would do it right, he wouldn't have problems with his back. He seem to listen for the moment, and then he go and continue his sets, adding even more weights, holding his back and limping. Never see that guy again, but I am sure that doctor did, because disc prolapse isn't fun at all ;D

My current routine puts me in the gym 5 days a week for not more than 45 minutes a session.  Each day I train one body part. This allows my muscles a full week to recover. Being as how I am a senior, my recovery time takes longer than it did when I was young. I use moderate weights and strict movements to avoid injuries. I'm over trying to be a "mass monster" which never really happened anyway.

It has been a few days now and he hasn't been back to gym.

I was just trolling a little, I doubt I would confront someone about their putrid odor. I would probably just avoid them as much as possible. As I work out at home, if there is someone stinky there I can just take a shower and the problem is solved.

thats it.

i dont think you need to go balls to the wall training legs in order to get growth, maybe if you've reached 95% of your genetic natural limit you really, really, need to push it to make additional gains, but if youre a twink and nowhere near your limit, the body will grow anyway. im quite confident that these three exercises alone (well two only as i mostly use leg extensions as a warm up) will be more than enough for me to grow my legs rapidly and massively.

im looking to work my ass with the glute machine next, it seems like an akward exercise but i think its be worth it to get that bubble butt both men and women enjoy, appreciate and adore.

as for gym observations, not so much today but here's some:

there were a bunch of women doing some kinda circuit training involving rubber balls and stuff, and one man. naturally i was looking at the man and he looked pretty well hung to the left.

there were a tall guy with long hair and a beard and a tank top. on his arm he had tattoes. the biggest one was of batman. i do not know why you would tattoo batman on your arm.

the legpress was, as always, empty.

in the lockerroom a guy had a shirt that was hanging down to his knees as he was pulling down his underwear, if i would have timed it better i mightve got a glimpse of his package.

beside my locker a black guy was taking his jeans off but for some reason i didnt check out his ass. my focus was clearly off today!

i didnt have a padlock for my locker and i was worrying, not for people to steal my stuff, but to tamper with my proteinshake, maybe pissing in it. but it tasted fine!

its that time again, i hit the gym!! only been 6 days since last time...

i got a tennis elbow so im trying to find ways to work around it i did rows, lateral raises and machine oh presses felt pretty good! im trying not to do anything where the arms need to be completely straight.

im soon gonna do legs twice a week so im thinking about getting them measured and then see how much theyll grow in 3 months i sense some big ass growing from very little effort here and it would be nice to be able to prove it.

not much observations at the gym, a girl that was a personal trainer had a voice of a man. a few old people. a moron spending more time in front of the mirror than training. not a single hot chick at this hour.

pre workout meal was 4 cheeseburgers.

I was just trolling a little, I doubt I would confront someone about their putrid odor. I would probably just avoid them as much as possible. As I work out at home, if there is someone stinky there I can just take a shower and the problem is solved.

Best way is to say out loud " it fucking stinks of b.o, is it me?" To your bro and smell your pit then go "nah aint me" whilst looking at who it is.

I just got home from training. People bitch about curling in the power rack, that at least has some explanation. Saves picking it up from the floor.

Today I observed a new one. 3 guys with a bench inside the power rack doing DB press and flys. What a total douchebag use of space.

Seem to me quite ordinary day at the gym. What I have find out is the fact, that gyms have some kind of magnetism for stupid people, because even the guys who look quite sane do ridiculous things in the gym. For now, I go to gym 3 times per week at the morning, but some times I change days, going like Tu-We-Fr or Mo-We-Th, and what I have realize is that I see same guys every time I go there, no matter which days I choose. This may be possible only if these dorks are training every day at the week, and by far, that is the most stupid thing to do because most of them are naturals. They train relatively hard and with heavy weights, so how they will recover from all that training? For me, if I train legs at the Wednesday, I have no need to train them before next week, because they are sore for days after training. These dorks are training legs twice or even three times per week, and what's best, some of them go in the gym twice per day like pro's who are filled with gear.  And when I compare their technique to my own, there is this difference: I add weight week by week and my posture and range of motion remain same all the time. They add weight day by day and their posture is crappy, and their range of motion gets shorter and shorter week by week. I have some times point this out some of the guys and explain how much better results they would get with correct ROM, but I find it to be useless because they doesn't seem to understand these complicated terms like "correct" and "range of motion".  For example, there was this young fellow doing "bent over" rows like Yates used to do them, meaning standing right up, and between the sets this guy was holding his lower back and limping around and whine. I ask him if he realize that the pain comes from the crappy posture and too heavy weights, and if he would do it right, he wouldn't have problems with his back. He seem to listen for the moment, and then he go and continue his sets, adding even more weights, holding his back and limping. Never see that guy again, but I am sure that doctor did, because disc prolapse isn't fun at all ;D

 15 yrs ago I was in a small gym in southern Louisiana where I lived at the time.
This one tall, retarded meathead always wore tightly cinched wt belt, gloves, and cap .
He was always doing forced reps on the bench press with more wt then he could do for a legit single.

Meathead asked me for some tips once about getting a bigger chest.
I told him to use less wt and focus on the muscle while doing benches.
He look puzzled and replied ; " That won't work bro, because I'll be lifting less wt."
I smiled ,politely patted him on the shoulder a couple times and replied ; " I can't argue with that logic." :D

He was a real genius LOL. I can post some of his views on woman and drunk driving if interested.  ???

As I was entering the gym, an Asian lady was leaving, we each held the door for the other. Her gym bag had small wheels like luggage and she was pulling it. Once inside, I realized the place had been painted (its been awhile since I graced this place with my presence). The men's locker room entrance is a deep blue color while the woman's locker room entrance is orange. I wondered if this was the adult version of pink for girls and blue for the guys.

While I was working out, I noticed that some of the Nautilus equipment had been moved to new locations. Later I noticed a few pieces of equipment were no longer there. One of them, I'll miss.

The power lifting room escaped the remodel. It's the same funky room it's been for years. Too bad for power lifters, I guess.

This woman with a really great body was wearing black and white patterned tights. The pattern on her butt looked like a bull's eye. The pattern in the front was more modest. I wondered if she noticed this when she bought the tights.

Another woman was doing Nautilus crunches facing me while I was doing them on a different machine. She was wearing red shorts. Her legs were chubby and wobbly. When she finished on the machine, she forgot her keys which were on a lanyard. A little while later she came by and picked them up.

A fellow I know who is the manager at my neighborhood Starbucks and works out at the gym was missing a half dollar sized area of hair on the side of his head behind his ear. I resisted asking him what happened.

I noticed that after a too long break, I was using pussy weights. I'm relying on muscle memory to get me back to were I was last fall.

When I was getting dressed, I noticed the fellow at the other end of the locker bank was covered with tattoos. He looked like a tough guy only with a soft looking body.

That's about it.

Back in 2007 saw a dude colapsing after doing heavy squats. He did the set, racked the bar quickly then grabbs his chest in panic while walking a few steps backwards, then falls on the ground. Cardiac arrest. Paramedics reanimated him, but the damage was done and he quited bodybuilding.

I have a lot of strange gym encounters and this is just two.

I sold my house and I was living in an apartment waiting for my new house to be built. I have been lifting at my house for years and I was now gymless. Close to the apartment was this hell hole hard core gym. It had everything you needed though. All miss matched equipment from different manufactures. Some were rusting. Carpet was filthy. The place was a dump.  The owner was this insane Jewish guy that never lifted in his life. He constantly yelled at gym members and was always in an argument. He was fond of saying out loud that bodybuilders were scum. Yes, this was the gym owner.

When he was present all the lights were on in the place and music blasted from a decent sound system that he traded a member for a free year membership. For extra money he gave you a key so you can use the place for a 24 hours gym.  I worked crazy hours and thought the key system was a great benefit. No women ever worked out there. Many would come in and look around then run back to their cars.

One time after hours I used the key for the first time. I opened the door and was greeted by a completely empty gym in very dim light. Only one light was on in the gym. To turn on the rest of the lights you had to enter his office that he kept locked.  The sound system controls were in his office too.  The only radio was this little crap thing that was duct taped to the wall. As I walked in I heard noises coming from a back room. It sounded like men moaning. Hearing me it got quiet and two guys came out. One was the owner and a gym member I recognized. They explained to me the gym owner did massages for a fee. Maybe I'll buy that bridge they tried to sell me too.

Another time I used the key I entered and as my eyes adjusted to the dim light I saw four guys training together. They looked like Mexican gang members. They looked at me and talked in serious toned Spanish. Couldn't make out what they were saying but I wasn't sure if I would walk out in one piece. Only one entrance and exit. The back door was chained shut. I worked out and not a word was exchanged between me and the group. Maybe they saw how serious I was about working out like they were and decided not to kill me. LOL.

A brand new Powerhouse gym opened soon after and I quit the dump gym quick.  When I joined the gym the fake tan roided GQ wanna be gym owner with a front tooth  that had a twinkle I thought as he showed the gym half full of women working out. All new equipment and even rubber encased dumbbells.  The place was bright an airy.  I continued working out there until my house was built. Still I had my best workouts in that dump gym and as I look back at all the great workouts I had in commercial gyms it is the dumps that were hard core.

its been 10 days since last time and i managed to get to the gym again. i did the following

leg extensions
leg press
seated leg curls

thats it.

In the work gym a little while ago there was this stinking Paki trying to giant set every piece of equipment in our small gym, thought fuck this and was just taking whatever piece of equipment I needed at that time without saying anything to him, he never said anything but developed an intense look on his face  for the rest of his "workout" and threw a very intimidating mid height kick to the heavy bag as he passed it.

I went to the gym today, hot ladies everywhere.  Weight room packed with people. 

One old man mid 40s probably, with black sweats that didn't quite cover his beat down ankle socks, crappy shoes, and a beat down gray tank top.  He appeared to have a decent physique, but had some serious BP issues going on as he was mostly red, he had wrist tape on.  He was doing incline barbell presses with 275.  He was grunting and making noises so loud the entire room could hear him.  This noise making continued for about 10 minutes, and he found a twink in that time to spot for him.  He was doing half reps at best.  As he walks away he tells the twink, "Don't rerack those weights, whoever uses this next will do more work rerecking them weights than whatever workout they are doing!"  And then stomps off to the water machine.

Great thread would read more observations.

Today, when I went to gym, there were this fellow doing weighted dips with less than 1" range of motion, as usual. It was my leg day, so I star to warm up, and watch how this other fellow did leg presses with 991 lb and 4" range of motion, as usual. And as usual, I feel sorry for those blockheads, because all what they do is wasting their time and effort by building just their ego, which only leads to increased idiotism. Pumped up ego has to feel quite good, because it's the most trained muscle in average gym. Here is little tip what I use myself: If you are lifting more weight than these guys who are training for competition, it is time to check your posture and range of motion, because your ego has taken over your training. You can't impress people with crappy technique, because they see what you don't. They see that you are using too much weight and too short range of motion. You see just those weights and you are amazed how fucking strong you think you are, they see yet another dork who can't do anything right  ;D

Quoted for truth. I never seen so much ego lifting as I do today. No work ethic posers.  I never seen guys doing half benches and half inclines back in the day. Today it seems the norm. If you can only handle 275 in the incline when you do half reps stopping 10" before your chest use 205 and do full reps. So much delusion of strength today in the gym.

I was doing leg presses and one guy in his 20's said to the other, "Do you think we should do leg presses that deep?" Other guy," No, he doesn't know what he's doing. Nobody does them like that."  When I got off the leg press they piled on the plates for their shallow girly knee bends slamming the weight when they were finished to call attention to themselves.
