gym shoot the sh*t thread

Ego problem, Casual? Come on, that's not what HST is about. Carry about a complex article on the principles of HST, and if someone gives you shit about lifting bitch weights, slam it in their face and tell them that's why you're doing it.

Then again, giving away secrets is a bad thing.

Back/Shoulders today. Back to roots. 5x5 routine. Been awhile, and I love volume training.

I don't know why, but whenever I see someone (my gym's pretty small by the way) benching who's relatively small, I always feel the need to pay carefull attention in case they get caught and need assistance. It's weird, because I can't look away even if I want to ... anyone else or am I the nut?

Not a nut - I'm there too. Part of the reason is from my own experience getting stuck under way to much weight.

And I'm not the only one in the gym who keeps an eye on that stuff. Yesterday some scrawny guy was doing way to much weight and really looked like he didn't have another rep in him, but he went for it anyway.

On the way back up he slooooowwwwed way down, and you could see maybe four of us in different part of the gyms look like we were about to run over there...

and then he gets it up on his own, and you can hear a collective exhale of relief.

Lol, cool I thought it was just me. I really hate it when someone really struggles on a rep, and tries for one more. I mean if it's someone who looks like they know what they are doing, then its a different story. But some of these newbies think they are Superman or something.

I hate to see the training forum be all business-like

yeah weight training is some serious shit, especially for us here when compared with your average ballys fitness customer.

But when I meet a dude who I know trains, I get all happy because we can share all these gym anecdotes and bond over some of the stuff that goes down in your average gym

So say whatever the hell you guys want as long as it's roughly gym-related

Yes this is kinda c&c-ish but on c&c it's always the same people, and they usually aren't the ones here.

WHOA NELLY...although it does suck..I do go to Bally's

Nothing like making fun of these idiots in the gym.

 

[cwick0]

casual is right, how many hardcore/badasses do you see training at a Bally's?

4th workout of my 15's minicycle...

with disgustingly pitiful weights. seriously, I'm embarrassed to actually Do the workout in a gym ful of bench/curl jockies, so there's no way I'd ever post them here

I have a reponse prepared in case anybody makes fun of me: "oh these? they're my warm up weights." and then run and hide behind a treadmill

I can't wait til friday to start my 15's...I'm dying from no gym
