Am I normal?

[Zander1983]

Who finds themselves planning, writing down or thinking about workouts during their everyday activities?

Travelling to university on the train today, I was planning and writing down all of my workouts for the next 8 days.

Driving to the train station I saw a number plate "OHP736" and thought to myself: "I wonder if anybody can overhead press 736lbs?"...

 

[spatts]

All the time. Face it, you're down with the sickness.

LOL...I do this all the time, except around here, there's a ton of meal replacement license plates.

hahaa, i do this constantly. like today, i saw the BP building, and was like "hey im doin bench in my workout today"

spatts said it perfectly, we are all down with the sickness

 

[coolcolj]

Not me...

guess I'm normal

 

[Mandinka2]

Quite frightening but everyday on my way to work I am thinkin about stinkin 200lb barbell shoulder presses for 10 reps. Am very close to it now tho , so I presume I will start muttering about 220lbs soon.

 

[PolishHammer1977]

I do. Look in any of my notebooks, files, folders, etc.....It never ends.

What Spatts said.

Get up, come on get down with the sickness

I just sat down at my desk at work and I'm thinking about my workout tonight. Hell, I'm thinking about my workouts in July.

 

[LftHndPwrHouse]

Ya. Its true. I think about it all the time. Esp at work. Thoughts of Test amps, winni depot and clen tabs go dancing through my head.

 

[bigstve12]

all f-ing day long thats all i think about. Thats what sets us apart from everyone else. Ill be laying in bed unable to sleep, my GF will be like "whatcha thinking about?" My answer is always the same....Lifting

 

[bigstve12]

i even dream about lifting

 

[JollyRogers]

I do somewhat I guess, but I think more about what muscles need to be biggger and how much mass I would like to get on this area and that area..ect

I think of the gym as a giant playground. All of the weights and equipment are toys. Every time I'm in there, it's a game with myself. Each workout brings a new challenge, and then there's always the anticipation and excitement of DOMS. To me this is all normal behavior. I have to live in my body every day, might as well make the best of it.

All the other people who look unhappy and who are just going through the motions with their workout - that's not normal. They don't know how lucky they are just to be able to work out.

 

[Smurfy]

I agree...I spend my whole day planning around and talking about my workouts. My co-workers/friends are so sick of my talk about food and workouts they have actually walked out of rooms in the middle of my conversation! So i'm stuck talking to myself..Maybe they just feel guilty cuz their only activity for the night will be planting themselves in front of the TV .

 

[Toozee]

Yeah....I think its bad for all on this board.

At work, the windows that are always up for me are AutoCAD,
Calculator (should be for work, usually for diet calc's), and EF.

There's alot of abbreviations at my work and there are too many to count that make me want to take off and head to the gym with no delay!

 

[The Red Dragon]

Yeah I usually think of my workouts in transit to school and during classes (keeps me awake)

 

[Scotsman]

According to most people if we were "normal" we wouldn't spend time at the gym anyway. Oh well who wants to be normal.

Cheers,
