People at the gym....

[Lord_Suston]

Is it just me or does evry gym across this country have the same type of people that attend it.... Examples:

The Hopeless Newbie : This poor individual looks lost in the gym and looks for guidance from anyone who will talk to him or her. The will follow you around like a maldroit pet, annoying you at the most inappropriate time. " hey so squats make you big?" (while you are doing a heavby set of squats and barely able to see.)

The Natural Complainer: this individual will always complain that when he loses a event or competion, or even if someone outlift them, they will complain the other person juices, and how they should have won. "I could outlift him a 500lbs squat isn't impressive if I was on juice." When losing the state they are natural and the rest of the world juices....

I could fill up a whoel book, but I want others opinions, so join the fun....

The people at my gym are for the most part pretty cool. I work rotating shifts, so I am in there at different hours every week, so I have seen most of the regulars there at one time or another. You have some that annoy you, but I have learned to ignore them.

Actually, this is one of the best gyms that I have been in, equipment wise and people wise.

High School Guy

This guy is fat and out of shape and all he does is bench. He will boast how strong he was when he was in high school and then continue to tell you he got injured and is just getting back into it. All this will occur even when you didn't say anything to him at all. "Back in High School I was a star blah-blah-blah and I was a lot stronger then"......

there is always some one that wants to get a set of squats in when I am in the middle of my squat routine, with two plates per side. I let someone do that once and they were about the same build as I was, and they took all four plates off so they could squat with a ten on each side. never again.

Today I met an older vet of my school's football program and compared notes about history of the team, coaches we had in common, lifting programs, and bench grip width. All in all it was a good conversation. One of those guys you're glad to meet in the gym and hope you see again some time.

Oh wait I got a pet peeve though. When you ask a guy for a spot on bench with a liftoff and they don't let go of the bar, they think a spot means lifting the bar for you. I have to be like "Don't help me!"

The "I can lift as much as you guy" who has no form what so ever and just stacks on more and more weight in some attempt to impress everyone in the gym as he makes a complete ass of himself completing less than half of the actual range of motion, swinging and jerking as hard as he can. I know you have seen him before.
