Modern day tools in gyms...

[TonyAlva]

I thought this thread was going to be about gym equipment.

yes, was thinking this  pertaining to "step-through" squat bars and such

Im lucky where I live, there's not too many tools in the gym like I see on YouTube, etc.
Saw a guy this AM tough, comical. Younger guy, probably around 30, with his headphones on, eyes closed, rocking head back and forth listening to something aggressive, but he was acting bad-ass.
Looking around, sneering at people. Now the dude was fat and very weak, my 110 lb. wife was benching more than this guy. (He had 25's on the bar).
His shirt was very tight, where stomach was falling out the bottom. Very skinny arms, etc. His phone had to tell him how long to rest between sets.

When he went over to squat rack, he was doing presses, so his tiny shirt would go up higher, and more fat belly would fall out.
Probably normal for a lot of places, but this knob stuck out like a sore penis in this place. We just dont have many douche's around here (in gyms) at least...

Modern day douches 

Next time stop and say hi!
Next week I’m breaking out my striped parachute pants and my wrestling shoes. Do they still make fannypaks?

I was thinking it was about the bicep supination machine becoming a commercial success.

Everyone wears headphones to the gym. Gym music sucks, only douches listen to gym music.

Our gym plays Ozzy's Boneyard, so I listen to gym music, its my favorite genre anyways, so it works...
Lots of Motorhead, Saxon, Maiden, UFO, Sabbath, Dio, etc...

I have a great home gym but lately I have been lifting in a hard core gym. Many hard core guys training there. Also a lot of old people because it's so cheap. The gym is lacking hot women. There are few but women don't like hard core gyms. They like pristine new machines, nice flooring, personal trainers wearing the gym's uniform, and the women train in clothes like they are at a fashion show.  My place chalk is flying in the deadlift area. Dumbbells go up to something like 175lbs. Not sure, I never go on that end of the dumbbell rack. 

Sounds like a good gym, not many like that around. Our place has a nice mix of normal elderly folks, to hardcore Powerlifters. Many of the hot girls, out-lift the douchey gym-bro's.
I have a great home gym, glad I have both options. If it were just Planet Fatness and LA Fatness around, I would be 100% home-gym...

Women were few and far between in the original hard core gyms in S.FL. Was a lot easier to be focused on training.

I listen to Ozzy's Boneyard, Hair Nation and Lithium in my home gym during workouts.  SiriusXM rules!
