Some girl snapped at me in the gym tonight totally out of the blue!

[jude2]

In her defense, she was doing them 1 leg at a time... and eventually worked up to a 45 and a 25 per side  


I like that - practically how I live my life.



Wiggs - Its very hard to get under my skin, I'm not gonna get all worked up and lose my temper over shit like that.  Call me a pussy all you want buddy, I do not really care.  Albeit I still want to say something again to her when I see her because I love being a smug smart ass, and I got distracted when my buddy came over and started talking to me before I could say more pussy things to her.

You left that part out, so she is stronger than u. She is trying to bully u. You need to lay the smack down on her.

[HockeyFightFan]

No Ach, that bitch wronged you and you crumbled like a leaf. You can't be a gentleman to cunts. Lesson One. I have that book on PDF. That's dealing with reasonable people. Not fucking hoodrats.

ACT LIKE A MAN.

I see a future where your fatass is sitting on the Jerry Springer show with some morbidly obese black woman wagging her finger in your face and accusing you of being her baby daddy.

You look like a cheap beatdown fatter version of Cee-Lo Greene, and Jerry Springer is making handjob gestures behind your back.

She did one 45 and one 25 per side.


I got up to 8 plates per side?  How is that stronger than me exactly?

[Psychopath]

Fill a super-soaker with piss next time, and spray the bitch till she has a nervous break down. Or spray paint a swastika on her beat up ford escort.

God damn, i fucking hate hood rats.

Vile

No wonder black men would rather settle for 500lb white women.

[Disgusted]

Yep it's sometimes better to just kill them with kindness. Then again I wouldn't have objected to you taking her 25 lb plate and bashing her fucking skull in to the point of god not being able to recognise her. All depends on what kind of day you are having though.

[HockeyFightFan]

She did one 45 and one 25 per side.


I got up to 8 plates per side?  How is that stronger than me exactly?

2 x 8 X 5 = 80

2 X (45 + 25) = 120

She's 50% stronger than you Cyrano....

You're so nice!...and patient.

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

I WAS ONE TIME ON A BENCH PRESS

SOME ROIDED ALL OF THE MIND POWERLIFTER CAME TO ME

AND SAOD TO ME

GET THE FUCK OUT OR I IWLL BREAK YOU IN HALF

[cephissus]

wiggs getting a little desperate...

[Roger Bacon]

Or spray paint a swastika on her beat up ford escort.

Can't do that shit anymore... Hate crime laws... 

[Big Chiro Flex]

Wiggs recent gear use is palpable in his posts lately. He's very confrontational.

[Roger Bacon]

Back in February, I seriously considered making Wiggs a House Negro.  Imagine if he had snapped like this while sleeping in my attic Servants' quarters... 

Scary

Would have had to have been there. If she was just frustrated because she missed the boat and is venting, I would have gone Big (nose) Ach's route, and let her work in with a big smile. If she was trying to kick Me off the machine, she would have been adding another teary-eyed entry into her journal about racism.

[FitnessFrenzy]

looks like you met BikiniSlut

[Seven Copper Coins]

looks like you met BikiniSlut

Haha

BikiniSlut would have whined he was trying to show off by using 6 plates and called him an attention whore

[Primemuscle]

Here is what happened....

So after starting off with cardio and a bunch of leg extensions, I always do leg presses after, but the plate loaded leg presses were taken, so I just figure I'll do some on the machine leg press until one of them frees up....
So I do a few sets on the machine leg press, finally one of plate loaded one is free, so I walk over there...
throw on some plates and start training on it...
finish my set, throw on some more plates, finish that, add some more, etc... on my third set I have about six plates on per side  (Yes - pussy weight for GETBIG) and as I'm doing my set...
this girl (I've seen her before), she is a bodybuilder or some fitness chick, I can't tell anymore, she's a black chick comes over, drops two 25 lbs plates on the floor right next to my leg press and just stares at me... I ignore her, keep doing my set...

I then get up and go get more plates... as I'm walking back, broad is still staring at me..

So I pull my headphones off and very politely go, "are you waiting on me?'.....
And the girl just loses it...
she goes...
"I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS LEG PRESS FOR A FUCKING HOUR BECAUSE ITS MY LAST EXERCISE AND I HAVE TO DO IT SO I CAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!!  BUT I CAN'T GET A FUCKING CHANCE!!!!!!"

I'm in fucking shock...

I stare at her for a moment....
then I smile and I go....
"Well by all means, work in with me" (In my normal charming way)....
and then I start stripping my weights off...

I have 6 plates per side, she has a 25 lbs plate per side...
but I start un-racking it for her...
Girl is speechless at this point, can't believe what I'm doing, she is all like "uh uh uhhhh"....
with a stupid look on her face....
right at that moment the other leg press frees up, and she gathers her stuff real quick and jumps on it without saying anything to me....

I'm like, alright whatever, and put more plates back on mine....
I Was turning around ready to say to her "You know I was about to let you work in with me!"...
but then one of my buddies came over and started chatting with me, so I said fuck it...
but I'm gonna say something to her next time... I'm not letting this go, I'm not gonna be mean or whatever but I'm gonna bring it up, maybe be like "I thought you were going to knock me out the other day by the leg press!"

lol its weird though, girl is in great shape, takes her work out very seriously (Obviously), but she always trains with FULL ON MAKE UP.... like BRIGHT red lips stick, eyes done all heavy and shit, full on cake make up.... so weird!   Whatever, thats the story!

Annoying, cause I'm always so courteous... and I always let people work in, even when I have to strip off my weights so they can train, of if they are a group of three people, I still let them work in with out throwing a hissy fit or anything, and thats how I was planning on being today but the girl just lost her shit!

You're obviously a considerate fellow in the gym. She obviously was frustrated. Let it go. Further conversations with her about this are likely to go badly. If she should miraculously realize how rude she was to you and apologize, then great, but don't hold your breath waiting for this to happen.

Saturday I was working quads and calves. This couple seemed to be on every piece of equipment I prefer. My problem is I am not always real flexible about using different equipment. As I waited for the, yes, leg press this fellow was checking his phone for what seemed like an eternity between sets. I started losing what little patience I have, which isn't a lot, unfortunately. Finally I walked over to him to ask how many more sets he had. It was his last set and he jumped right on it.

While I was doing my leg press routine, this same fellow loads up the hack squat despite that he is working on a different machine. I thought he was going to jump on it any minute. I did a several sets of seated calf raises, while glancing over at the hack squat machine periodically only to see that he wasn't on it yet. At the same time that I finished the calf raises he finally starts doing hack squats. Wouldn't you know it! Well, having already waited on him once, I had no patience for doing this again. So I walked over and asked him how many sets he had. He said he had three sets total and volunteered that he'd do them quickly. He followed though, so no harm done.

I do quads and calves every Saturday. I am hoping he and his wife or girl friend don't or we are going to have to reach some kind of agreement we can both live with. Did I mention I have issues with my patience?

[Primemuscle]

There is a difference between a pussy and a gentleman!  I happen to be the latter!   


Read "How to win friends and influence people" - there are a couple good lessons in there on how to deal with certain individuals!

Great book! Many years ago, I took a Dale Carnegie speech class which my boss paid for. It was most helpful to me throughout my working career and probably in other aspects of my life too. I have taken other speech classes in college, but none had quite the same impact as the Dale Carnegie class on me.

[Primemuscle]

Whatever bro. In your world since you care so much and now in getbig world, you came off as a pussy. But you're a square so I can't expect you to act any differently.

You should have told the bitch, you snooze, you lose, then put your headphones on and returned to your workout. You don't reward people for bad behavior and that's just what you did. had she asked you nicely to work in, different story.

Seems like you have pussy on the mind. 

Real men are wise enough to avoid falling into confrontations such as this could have been. Perhaps when you grow up you will understand. I am not criticizing mind you, just letting you know that it is rare that anything good comes from unnecessary confrontation. I learned this from a lot of experience, being given to having a short temper in years past.

I do the same thing. If someone is hogging equipment, or jerking off and not completing their sets in a reasonable time frime...I just call them on it. No need to be aggressive or confrontational, they know damn well what they are doing and will be cooperative 99%   of the time and move along.

"how many sets you have left" is gymspeak for "hurry the fuck up already"  amongst experienced trainers.

Exactly! This guy looks like he knows his way around gym culture, so it was no surprise that things worked out well. I see him all the time up at my local Starbucks so he lives in my neighborhood.  I rather make friends then enemies with people. Actually, he was a really nice guy. I am glad we had the opportunity for this exchange because otherwise I would have just thought he was and inconsiderate asshole.

Another line of mine is to walk up the jerk you leaves the weight on the equipment, when it is obvious that they are done with it and just too lazy or inconsiderate to clear it for the next user, and ask, "Are you through with that?" pointing at the equipment. Often they go right over and clear of the weights. Some people are just clueless though and will say something like, "yeah." In those cases I remind them that it is common gym practice to clear the weight. Being an old guy, I can get away with this, because it is more often very young dudes who make this mistake. Punks!

[Hulkotron]

There's this fucking guy about 50 or so at the gym in my building, it's nicely equipped but only has one bench press.  He'll load up the bench with 185, bust out four or five cswol-reps, then sit on the bench and do one-arm curls with a 45-lb DB with his little towel wrapped around the handle, swinging it up with all his might.  Between each of these exercises he sits on the bench taking about a five-minute break.  He will repeat this process for upwards of an hour.

I stopped reading after "starting off with cardio"

[Bad Boy Dazza]

too long and boring didn't read

I have always lived by this:

Excellent advice! Although not always easy to do!
