Weightlifting attracting scumbags

[heenok]

It seems that gyms are filled with the most uneducated, imbecile people out there. Between the wanabe fighters wearing MMA clothes and the stinky arabs why the fuck gyms attract the most degenerate scumbags out there. I litteraly never heard anyone having an intelligent conversation in my gym.
Dont get me wrong i love training but i have to isolate myself with my headphones just not to hear people talking about their new car sound system or how they are "training UFC"

Im actually considering going early in the morning before work just to avoid people.

Try attending another gym.
The people I know at my gym tend to be decent, regular people.

[heenok]

I wish I could but thats the only decent outlet I have access to.

I go to a super high end gym and it's all out of shape finance folks and skinny fat chicks and trainers prattling on about "mobility" and bosu ball nonsense. I'd take the gym rats any day rather than having to look at another fat, wheezing 53 year old money manager bitching about his divorce.

Just ordered the upgrade upgrade kit for my Ironmaster DBs. They now go to 165#. Not that I currently have a prayer of pressing the 165s, I have recently found the 120s to be lacking. Home gym rules.

hence why ear buds and a cap worn low are a must. Nobody trains very hard now, the environment has gone to shit.

My dad too that's why I wear it wherever I want now including the table.

Morning time is best.  Older crowd, looking to stay in shape rather than just impress every one.  It's a breath of fresh air when a more mature gym goer says "hey man, how was your weekend?".

These ufc girl s really get on my nerves I overheard that apparently boxing is a pussy sport and they hit each other with pillows.

Bodybuilding does attract weird people. Ever been to a bodybuilding contest and check out the crowd? I think one of the problems is that bodybuilding is filled with insecure males who will risk health with syringes to be considered a man. When they go off the juice the praise isn't there giving their ego a pat on the back for their temporary drug muscles. Then it becomes a long time of cycling drugs in the life style that only ends due to health, finances, or arrest. 

It seems lately that many insecure guys are going to the jui jitsu dojos instead of the gym.  At least it's a positive activity and promotes health.

This is getting very tiresome and old to read.

Look. EVERYONE has fuckin' insecuties man. So to pin point that aspect to just bodybuilders is stupid, stop it, makes you look stupid and not so deep as you think you are revealing some deep shit into the mind of those who train....

[funk51]

Careful, or he's gonna bust out that story about the former juicer that carried a picture of his former glory in his wallet.

Ah yes, the ol' glory pics!
Good post though, I don't wanna see them glory pics, gonna keep quiet!!!!

I wonder if most police are insecure, and that's why they get involved with the force?

Or millionares? That's why they chase wealth.

Or celebrities, that's why they chase fame.

Or maybe some like whatever it is they're pursuing.....


Or MAYBE the title of the thread is WEIGHTLIFTING ATTRACTING SCUMBAGS...... hence the insecurity comment.

Let's stay on track fellas.
