I give everyone nicknames. I imagine I have a few of my own considering I'm an old fat broad.
I love to people watch. For awhile we had a fellow who looked like Mr. Clean (from the cleaning product). What made it funnier was that he had a strange water bottle that reminded me of the types used for cleaning fluid and it was normally filled with something vaguely yellowish--probably watered down gatorade.
There's a lady who looks like shes early 50s with long dyed blonde hair. She has huge breasts (and I know whereof I speak) yet she goes braless with little spaghetti strap top and low riding yoga pants. She wears TONS of make-up and looks for all the world like an aging stripper. I never see her on the cardio stuff or at the weights. Usually she walks around with a cigarette dangling from her lips. Why? At a gym? Anyway, I'm kind of scared of her!
Then there's the Moose in Rut. He stays on the machines--lower weight than even I would use--but everytime he moves he bellows like, well, a moose in rut. You can hear him in the locker rooms, by the front doors, in the enclosed pool area. I jump every time he does it and keep expecting to see him lying on the ground in pain.
but my calves are embarrassingly small. I work them but they are just small. As a result I rarely wear shorts because they cover up my upper legs and my calves would lead people to think I'm a "bench specialist".
Interesting.....it reminds me of an article I read a while back. It was either written by Arnold (whats his face) or Larry Scott.
Anyway...... they felt (at one time) the same way about their calfs and would tend to naturally want to hide them because of shame and out of pure fustration and total disgust they did an about face and cut off all their workout sweats just below the knee level so they would have to ALWAYS SEE and be REMINDED of their puny calfs and this turned their shame and disgust into pure unbridled motivation to work their calfs harder than they ever thought possible and in the end brought their calf development up to a level they never thought possible !!!!
to each there own. I think it can look silly, but when I tore my hamstring it took a year for me to fully train legs again, so i had the same disproportion.
I should qualify that I only make fun of people who don't lift legs. I have great respect for anyone who does lift them. I just get bothered by the guys who strut around like they're huge when their legs are voting an absentee ballot.
