New Years = More idiots at YOUR gym

Well, it is that time of the year again. People are going to be making their New Years resolutions, which means more idiots are going to be signing up at your gym. This has already happened over at mine. The majority of the new members are high school kids that wear silver chains, khaki pants, and fubu shirts during their workout...hair gel'ed and all. They have nasty fucking attitudes to go along with their 11 inch pipes which they so proudly display from their sleeveless shirts. What is even funnier is that they think they are mr big man with their fucking shitty attitudes and tribal band tattoos around their noodle arms. Just watching these kids makes me cringe. You see them "curling" 40lb ez curl bars, but using their back to do 90% of the work, and then after their set, they are having a pose-down in front of the mirror, blocking my view when i am doing shoulder presses. I also love when they ask you for a spot when you are right in the middle of your set, which completely fucks up my concentration...My gym is becoming a god damn zoo with all these people, and i generally lift at off-peak hours, id hate to see what it is like around 5-8pm.
 
It actually started today at World Gym William Cannon in Austin. I will just go late.
 
oh yeah, i forgot to talk about the old hag who wears the skimpiest workout shit she can possibly find, even though she is older than george burns. I was using a flat bench for flat db presses, and I had just finished a set, set my water down on the bench, and left my db's right there. Well i walked like 5 feet over for like 2 seconds, and this old bitch goes to the bench i am using, takes my water bottle off of it, moves my dumbbells, and proceeds to do what looked like pullovers with a fucking 5lb rubber dumbbell!! She wasnt planning on doing a 'normal' set and proceeded to do like 50 reps. i went up to her and said, "excuse me, i am working there." and she gave me this god awful look like how dare i say that to her and she just proceeded to go about her business. she stops her fucking 50 rep set of pullovers and proceeds to do fucking kickbacks with the same weight she was doing pullovers all while she glares at me while i was standing right there. I'm sorry, but people like this really need to be shot and put the fuck out of their misery.
 
Sunday was the calm before the storm at the Gold's in Phoenix. Went in about 2pm, had almost the whole place to myself. Going back on Wednesday as it's closed today and tomorrow. Can't wait to see how many fatasses will be playing with my toys come Wednesday night. :bawling:
 
It's ok, most will quit in 2 weeks to a month. The rest will phase out over 2 months.

we go through this every year. The best are the guys who come in to get ripped 2 weeks out from Spring Break so they can tear up the beach, LMAO.
 
Yeah you have to take the good with the bad. If these people didn't come in and sign up because of their new years resolution then fall out before 6 months the gyms couldn't stay open; they meaning the gyms literally depend on this. The good news is that a few more people might really change for the better. It is hard though not to get digusted with SOME of the newbies.
 
oohh shit....my gym hasnt got that much equipent in terms of lots of the same stuff....i just know someones gonna be an ass hole and start pissing me off by walking around me when im doing shoulder presses or something.

fuck ive actually had someone do situps RIGHT UNDER the dumbells i was using for benching....if i dropped it, she dies...

i should have dropped it :D

Hold on a second, you mean it's ok for us to kill newbies? If only I'd known.
 
The old hags and the ugly seventy years old women don't stay for more than a few weeks...

... and you may meet sexy young chicks :p

yeah, no one will notice. you just gotta do it on the sly by dropping weigt on their necks, or offering a spot and then twisting their nipples so they drop the weight on their necks....all norlmal gym fatalities ;)
 
Uh-OH, I usually lift in my basement and will join one after the first of the year. Looks like I'm going to be the idiot in someones gym, huh? Thats ok, they won't give me too much shit.hehehe
 
What I would do if I trained at a gym like this is every year starting on Jan 1st... take a whole 2 weeks off from the gym... you get to recup and let all those nagging little injuries heal up...and you don't have to put up with all the New Year's Resolution Idiots.... problem solved..
 
I like the time during the holidays, because people take off from working out, so the gym is wide open... then, after new years, the gym gets packed with people who think they can lose weight by doing an hour workout for a week... The rush usually lasts through March... horrible time for us regulars.

my thoughts exactly Citrus. same thing happens here. lately I have been getting looks as if I was the new guy because I normally go at night and I have been going in the daytime. but once I get in the power rack, they recognize. no one in my gym has me on squats, except one powerlifter and like two or three seriously jacked up dudes....

I'm about to experience this phenomenon since before this year i was training at different schools, should be fun(ny).
 
Good point, Jim and very true also...
Once the soreness hits in, most don't come back.

Most will be too sore and quit or injure themselves in the first week so don't worry about it.
 
Just back from the gym.

I could f-in scream. I saw this thread earlier today and thought, naw, not my gym.

hahaha. Laugh's on me.

There's the Hammertime pants crew with disco muscle shirts who can't seem to put their weights back on the rack like the rest of us.

The skinny guys who do an hour on the gauntlet and leave their puddles of goopy salty sweat all over it. That's why they make you bring a towel, dammit!

The hoverer. Christ.

More skinny guys with two plates on the machine or who hover waiting for you to put down the 30lb dumbbells so they can do the wimpiest set of bent over rows.

Please don't come back. Please.
 
I've actually modified my split to train legs today, New Year's Day, so I can actually get into the one and only power cage. I hate seeing some mullet toting moron with a weight belt cinched too tight doing curls with 10lb plates in the cage.:mad:
 
holy fucking shit, my gym is starting to remind me of fucking high school. tough guys who are like 5'6 120lbs with one fucking pant leg rolled up and walking like...i dont know what they are walking like, but they are doing that thing moving their arms and shoulders really fucking weird, i have no idea how to describe it. oh yeah, and this one kid. he was wearing a state powerlifting champion shirt, which was size extra small on his 120lb body. He goes over the the bench, begins benching 155lbs around his 2nd or 3rd rep, his arms give out and the thing pins his neck to the bench. im sorry, but if you wear a powerlifting shirt, you best be a powerlifter...no not even, do any of you guys here wear shirts that say 'bodybuilder' on it? i dont think so.

you would think with sucha large influx of 'tough' high school guys joining my gym, there would be some high school chicks as well...but no. of course not, because god hates me.:mad:
 
AGGGGHHHHHHH----:(

Yes, tommorrow starts the beginning of the one-month die hards. They are all gung-ho the first week then you don't see them again until the snow starts to melt. They actually add 4 extra classes a day, and extend the hours of operation to accommodate everyone.

Maybe this year will be different, and everyone will stick to their new healthy resolutions.....
 
If I ever see another person at the gym wearing a Camel Back, I'm gonna kick their ass.

On a side note, and w/o turning this into a race thread, why do most of these dorky ass people tend to be white? I've seen few "dorky" minorities, but tons of skinny white boys benching 95lbs screaming "Bust it dog, bust it" at the top of their lungs.

I guess you never get anywhere if you are afraid to look stupid.

All the ladies concur. BTW, how was your NYE?

I decided not to celebrate. I didn't even drink. I figure if I ignore last year, it will go away!!!!!!!!

I don't like holidays much - my mom asked me what I wanted for my b-day (coming up soon) and I told her I wish she would invite me and my girlfriend over to celebrate NYE.

She didn't invite us. She won't socialize with her around, just me. My girlfriend looks and acts very straight, so I don't see the problem.

oh well. I'm moving on.

My workout yesterday was good, my diet is on, and I'm on my way to buy my protein tub.

And yours?
 
I partied a little too hard. Took some perscription drugs, drank some alcohol (big no no), a lot of ghb, had some amazing sexual experiences (with the wife even), got real sick in the middle of the night. I think it was the second 100mg Viagra that did me in.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to taking a nap and going to the gym this afternoon. I'm also waiting for George to send me my 3 tubs of Triple Threat and my flax seed oil that I bought.
