Which one is your favorite???
1. When the gym's PT strikes up a conversation about your arm specialization routine… you
mention Spider Curls and he calls an exterminator.
2. When the grimaces you make during squats cause a rumor that you may be going through a
divorce.
3. When after a set of particularly grueling deadlifts, the gym owner walks by on his rounds and tries
to instruct you saying that if you really want to get that bar on the rack, it would make sense to load
it AFTER you put it up there.
4. When you overhear a conversation that uses any of the following: "icky," "muscle-bound," "ack!
A callous," "Aww I broke a nail," "Arnold says.." "I'll be back tonight for chest.." or "I like using the
pink ones."
5. When the heater accidentally kicks on in summer for a week, and all the guys STILL wear nylon
pants to workout.
6. If any man in the place wears leg warmers.
7. After mentioning Power-Cleans to the athletic director, he says he buys his by the gallon and gets
a great rate.
8. When you have to wait 45 minutes for a single set of bench presses because the guy who just
belly-tossed his 15th set, just lays there with his eyes closed.
9. You come in one day and are greeted with a flyer that says, "Take the Cardio Challenge!"
10. You walk by some guy whose sweat reeks of too many vitamins and he is talking about his new
"herbal formula."
11. When Bambi and Crystal use the power rack to stretch their hamstrings.
12. If when you finish a set of overhead presses, the local "expert" advises you that the Side Lateral
Machine has been medically proven to be more effective.
13. If California-Boy struts in, freshly tanned in January, smiling from ear to ear because his "Tae
Bo" video just arrived in the mail.
14. If you overhear the owner ordering any piece of equipment that ends in "IZER."
15. If there is ever an accident that requires an ambulance and involves an ab-roller, cardio-glider,
or any machine advertised by Chuck Norris and Christy Brinkley.
16. If the PT mentions that you should stop as soon as you break a sweat so you don't "over-exert"
yourself.
17. You gain hope one day! Someone else is waiting to use the squat rack! When the occupant
finishes up, the guy waiting says, "hey… can I borrow your lifting belt? I have to do some
concentration curls."
18. If you ever see anyone imitate Lou Ferrigno in Pumping Iron: Doing push presses with less than
100 pounds on the bar and screaming, "ARNOLD!" at the top of each rep.
19. If anyone ever uses the words GREAT, DIET, and SLIM-FAST in the same sentence.
20. If you ever see the local PT WIN an argument by backing up his findings with an article from
Muscle & Fitness.
