Just joined a large gym.

[dopename]

Now I know some of those ppl you guys bitch about!

I have been going to an OLD SCHOOL, privately owned gym that has been around since the mid 70's. With all the same equipment! Mostly just the hardcore workout guys (very few womens )

So last week I joined the local YMCA that has all brand new facilities and equipment.

I soon realized that there is quite the diversity of people (morons) that "workout"!

I see the different "classes" of exercisers that everyone here is bitching about that I never understood before.

There is:

The social butterfly- Guys (mostly) that do one set maybe every 15 minutes, whenever they finish their chat session. And hogs the most used equipment.

The poor weak guy- the one that runs around the whole gym doing every exercise with way too much weight and with terrible form.

The jacked bro- Gets in there and bust it and gets the hell out

The "I don't touch free weights" guys- Yeah, We can tell

The recreational BB- Half asses almost every set but does it long enough that they have some results.

The old guy- Does some kind of bicep curl with a 3lbs dumbbell for 100 reps that does nothing for the bicep.

I get a kick out of watching all these characters and sometimes I just want to tell them how ridiculous they really are!!

The novelty will get boring when they all start doing their curls in the squat rack.

I went the other way, left the YMCA to go to an old school gym like the one you left.

Oh I'm sure it will...

I left the other gym Because my wife wanted to join the Y and they have childcare there. that was the biggest reason.

The hot women doesn't hurt anything either!!

 

[keasbey]

so which one are you?

 

[keasbey]

i lift at my colleges gym and its mostly chicken leg guys.. a couple squaters.. i think ive seen maybe 2 other people do dead lifts and powercleans.. but they arent around often or just come at different times.. its my motivation to do those lifts because they all bench well but they cant squat or clean for shit

 

[dopename]

so which one are you?

I would like to say that I'm The Jacked Bro! LOL

About the same as you. Got sick of waiting on a bench bc some jackass is doing 50 reps with 5 lb dumbbells to "get shredded" and being hit on by lagoon creatures at the gym I was at, so I joined a 24 hour gym, and lift after work. Less BS in there at night and don't have people to wait on. Seems like there are more serious lifters at the graveyard sessions too.

I work out at a university gym, very nice, built on the back of Arnolds $

The only thing I like about it:

I get the leg equipment ALL TO MYSELF =D

This is the current college boy split btw:

Monday: Chest/Bis
Wednesday: Chest/Bis
Friday: Chest/Bis/Abs

REPEAT

Don't forget about the Rows.. er I mean team bench press.

One guy loads up 3x the ammunt he can really do one rep with, then him and his buddy one rowing, one bench pressing make a joint effort to lift the weight with horable form.

What was your consensus on the women there? Any of them serious about training?

 

[drsketch]

I just joined a YMCA, it's not too bad and it's on my way home from work.. Not as much equipment as I would like but it will do for now.

I meant to comment on them. Every woman I see there is there to either workout or do cardio. They are there to do work and thats it. The men talk much more than the women. They just jump on the cardio equip. and go!!

 

[RachelEFC]

Was this a nice new big YMCA, or been around for a while? We have a HUGE one here in GR... I don't like it myself.

This is a huge new one that is only a few years old and the just finished adding on last month. The cardio equipment has flat screen TVs on them!!

20+ of treads and 20+ ellipticals plus other bikes and such. Indoor and outdoor pool, gym and whatnots.
