Title: Saturdays in the gym...........
Post by: sarcasm on March 25, 2006, 12:48:03 PM
what is it about Saturdays that brings out all the high schoolers doing 50 sets of benches with a 35 lb. plate on each side, 200 sets of pushdowns, the fat chicks doing adductor machine squeezes and the butt blaster, the 6'3" 148 lb'ers doing seated calf raises with 6 plates with a spot, WTF? it's as if there's a full moon bit it's daytime.

Maybe because they want to pump up their "biceps" to impress people in the clubs.

there was a kid right in front of the dumbbell rack, 5'4" 115lbs. doing kickbacks with 10lb. db's totally oblivious to dudes walking around him with 100lb.+ db's, WTF? where do people like this get their confidence?

In Norway everyone tries to get fit for the weekends starting on mondays, and it seems like they think that one work out will do for the rest of the week  :P that's why I never work out on Mondays, too much people.

i always schedule back or legs for saturday.  why bother trying to wait out a bench or the DB area with all the scrubs playing over there.  

Also, every sat is powerlifting day.  Today the big guys had this aerosol spray you put on your back, I think to prevent sliding/moving while on the bench.  Whatever the cause, their backs were torn and bleeding after a few sets.

LOL @ "27 more reps".  That might be right up there with "moster triceps" and "brutal mass".

Every Saturday is universal chest and arm day.  Guy's throwing on their finest bodysuits, spikeing and gelling their hair up, and sporting a cloud of CK1 or Coolwater.  Painful.

No, I set up a fully-equipped gym in my house. It was expensive and time-consuming to put it together, but way worth it to never have to deal with "gym people" again. It also makes it far less likely for me to miss a workout due to time.
man i wish i had the room.

Great thread.  I resort to sat nights if I need to go (24 hour gym).  There are still some honkies there at that hour, but at least there are fewer of them.

You mean us white folk, negro?

I'm white too, but these are serious honkies - like it's trailer park discount day or something...  How can these people afford 50 bucks a month for the gym?

It wasn't cheap, but it's a great piece of equipment. Practically unlimited number of exercises, and it'll last forever. It literally weighs half a ton... it's a good thing my house is built on a slab, I don't think plywood floorboards could support it.

Is it too big (tall) for a 2 car garage??

2 things:
1. Home gyms are cool and convenient, but expensive, and hard to find motivation when you are the only one there.
2. those 140 pound geeks near the 100 pound dbs, someone earlier said these are very confident people, I say they just have no f'ing idea whats going on.

That spray is called "stickum".  I have never seen anyone tear there back from using it.  By the way, were you doing nude most musculars in the gym today?

I was wearing a flesh-colored thong.

The back wasn't "torn", more like a series of horizontal blood streaks from the skin ripping.  Weird.

Fortunately in Scotland the large majority of men prefer a wee shandy ( that's alcohol for our American viewers ) on a Friday night so the gyms are empty except for the hardcore and the freaks like me who do not drink the local FIREWATER .

This means that we can take over the gym and do some heavy squats or dead lifts . I love when you can just collapse after a good set and wait until your breathing gets back to normal without a skinny kid coming up and asking if I'm finished yet .

Yeah, the open back shirts with the backs sprayed with the stickum stuff.  They were pretty cut up.  I was curious if they planned to clean the blood, but they were on minute 75 of benching when I left.

I don't know, Mirzy......

I've knocked a couple people over for doing that, when I was unloading anything over 100's on the DB rack.

If people are stupid enough to stand in front of the rack while people are trying to get through they deserve the humiliation.

Usually they are newbies, but they learn pretty fast.
