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.

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

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

Quickerblade · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2015, 02:45:38 PM »

I do, I go the same time every day, so the same people are there.

ritch · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2015, 02:49:34 PM »

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.

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.
