Some crazy stuff happens to me, I don't know why. Here's some stuff I've seen:
Tipical Gym day. There's people working out and such. One guy comes in, and everyone just stares at this guy. I mean, his arms were about 20inches, but what impressed the most was his total lack of body fat!! This guy must have been like 3% BF. Also I could swear this guy was Hulk Hogan's brother, as the facial similarities were striking.
So anyway, the guy (which I'll call "Hogan") gets under a benchpress and starts doing his reps. It so happens that there's a skinny guy with his personal trainer on a Pec Dec machine. I guess the trainer told him to put effort into his reps, because the guy starts pumping the sets and shouting "WHOAAAAAAHHHHH" "WHOAAAAAAAAHHH" "WHOAAAAAAHHHHH"
Everyone just ignores it or course, but
after about 20 seconds of this, Hogan stands up and goes "FOR FUCK'S SAKES!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!"
Man, there was pitch silence in that floor of the gym for like 10 secs. The small guy goes "Sorry man, I didn't want to bother you..." So Hogan goes "YEAH WELL, SOME OF US ARE WORKING OUT HERE..."
The little guy and his trainer packed up their stuff and left. Nobody said anything for the rest of the time I was there. I think everyone thought that the big guy was going to smack the little guy, which probably would have killed him. But after I went home, I was fucking laughing on the bus 'cause it was so funny.
Then another time I come to the gym. Thing is, I only showed up because I hadn't gone in a week. I was tired as crap, and I started tricep pull downs. Now the thing is I was using bad form, 'cause I couldn't even concentrate on doing proper reps, I was too tired.
So a little guy pops out of nowhere and goes "Listen buddy, you are doing that the wrong way. Here, let me show you how to do it" And he goes ahead and show me a couple of reps of "proper form".
So I say to him "Thanks for the advice buddy". What I was really thinking was: Excuse me? Ok, your arms look to be about 14", my arms are about 17". Where the hell do you get off trying to give me advice when you look like you don't take it yourself!!. I know you just got your new Bill Phillips rag in the mail and are excited to spread the good news, but take your Body-For-Life principles outta my face and get the hell outta here!..."
So anyway, that's what I should have said. But I was too tired to give a crap.
Next story:
I'm at the gym again. Now I usually work out alone, because my friends all have different schedules
So I'm doing some pull ups, and there's a group of black guys doing the congregacional thing (you know, socializing and not doing any actual work).
Suddenly they start arguing about God knows what. I honestly didn't pay attention, I was too focused on my workout. The shouting got louder and then suddenly one of them turns to me and goes "Isn't that right buddy!! Don't you agree??". Keep in mind that I had no clue what the frick these guys were talking about, but I'd play along just for a laugh, so I go "Absolutely my friend! could not agree more!" and the guy's face lights up, and he goes "See! even this guy agrees with me!!" and then they continued with their argument which I once again ignored. Seriously, when I left the gym these guys were still arguing. Maybe I should have payed attention, but I'm not good at picking up their strange lingo (that Jamaican talk, or whatever it is)
Anyway, I see some weird crap sometimes... Next I'll tell you guys about stuff that happens to me outside of the gym, it's even funnier!
