my first commercial gym

[pgsam]

so i just recently joined a golds. Ive always made a point to workout at smaller university gyms or at home. Ive read the posts on here and bb.com about stupid gym antics but seriously its fucking ridiculous. I couldnt believe what i saw today! 135 lb quarter squats in the smith, 95 lb cheat curls in the squat rack, some douche that just stood under the pullup bar and wouldnt let me work in, and some fatass with all her shit on 3 machines at once. I also saw the biggest dickhead of my entire life there today, he had a massive upperbody and his quads seriously looked to be about 15'. infuriating. sorry to vent

Bummer. You would expect to hear more heroic/Hardcore lifting stories from the legendary "Gold's" name.

I workout at a local Gold's. I find these antics are a good way to pass the time between sets.

There's this one dude, skinny but cut (think Bard Pitt in Fight Club), so I swear, comes in everynight and does preacher curls and shrugs. And that's it. EVERY day. He's been doing that for the past 5 months.

I also enjoy watching the pathetic form on the cocky teenagers who believe it is necessary to lift in groups of 4 or 5 people.

Watching how some people contort their bodies when using the Smith machine is a another favorite time passer for me.

That doesn't sound half as bad as the guy in my gym who reads the morning paper on the smith machine inbetween sets.

I think I'm gonna power slam the next prick I see who brings a newspaper into the freeweight room.
