the "used to be" at my gym stories ! post um!

[toxicsambo]

Forget about "used to be", anyone notice the amount of ppl in the gym have dwindled? Summer is almost over and guys and girls arent "shaping up" anymore. It's so fkn funny, this happens every year at every gym. Then around new years', ppl come back because theyre going to get "back in shape" as thier resolution. lol.

I'm so happy when those ppl leave. They waste space, talk, and do half assed workouts for 2 months. And anyone who constantly goes to a gym and still looks like shit just thinks he's a tough guy and has no idea what diet and training means. THey're in a gym just to associate themselves with "weightlifting"

everyone will end up like that. a guy i train with was a natural 700lb. bencher. and since his shoulder surgeries, his numbers are way down. and, has to listen to punk ass kids talk shit about 365lb. presses like it's some big deal. but he'll never talk about those days unless asked...everyone will eventually succumb to age...

Age will definitely kick us in the ass. That's why I have decided that when I get "old" I am gonna do a massive line of coke and go out like a champ.

i got my own yearly goals of staying in/over around 400-500 in the big 3. other than that, i'm rather unfit and unhealthy. ya know, i can't completely straighten out my left arm? nasty....

well silver i'm sure no one has a relative that is as big as you so that is just blasphemous lol. however, i know what you guys mean, i had a fat ass bloat ball talkin shit so i called a posed down on here and whooped him.

chaz my favorite answer for people like that is simply "what happened" let me tell you this makes them nuts. they have to sit there and justify and give you all the reasons they coudlnt keep there once amazing build. just observe how defensive they get. that is when you really know someone is full of shit. the only thing ive ever said to a dude in the gym is are you on that or can i work in. thats it. like someone like silver gives half a fuck if someone knows a guy as big as him. its just like pulling up in a ferrari and everyone talks about the guy they know that has one not the one they own. don't hate congratulate

It is blaspehmous to speak of such non-sense! I love it how people feel compelled to bullshit and lie about feats of strength and size that are so ridiculous that they are actually insulting to your intelligence. That's when I get fired up. Hell, I'm not that big at all. Many dudes are much bigger than I am or ever will be, I'm just ready to walk into the place where all these "monsters" are so I can be the smallest guy there. I would love it.

Those who can't bring themselves to lie about their own imaginary lifts with a straight face always have a friend who used to bench more than Mendy, or a cousin who was bigger than Dorian in his prime.

I always love when I overhear an A&F stick boy talking crap about the few strong & big dudes in the gym.. it's like hearing women bitching. About a HW bber in contest shape - 'he's too big, I wouldn't want to get like that' (don't worry, you won't) or listening to some fag in a pink shirt say to his lil butt buddy 'Yeah he benched 500 but I bet he doesn't have abs like us'

Once when I was 16 and working at a grocery store, I would pride myself in my ability to collect many carriages and push them into the store. One day while collecting carriages some elderly fellow took the time to roll down his car window to tell me about how he used to collect all of his grocery store's carriages at once and push them back into the store. I think this elderly fellow performs bicep curls in the squat rack of your gym now. After he's finished bragging to you about long gone days he heads to the showers to clean up and take a piss at the same time.

There's this guy at my gym who used to juice heavy and really pound his upper body. The only problem is that he never worked out his legs. The only time he went near the squat rack was to do curls or shrugs. The guy is about 5'2 and had a calf measurement of about 9 inches! I've seen women with bigger forearms than this guys lower legs. He always wore baggy shorts, but I'm sure the upper legs were just as bad.

He vanished for about 4 years and then two weeks ago he showed up again. He now has this young guy training with him who eats up all the bs this guy tells him. The other day as they did CURLS in the squat rack he was telling this kid (while looking over at me doing deadlifts) "Yeah back in the day I would do deads like that with 495lbs for a shitload of reps." The only problem is, I never saw him do a single deadlift 'back in the day'.

The other day he was being a prick in the db room and using an incline bench to rest on between sets of lateral raises. The place was packed and people were waiting for open benches. He turned away a couple of young guys. So I slid that bench right out from under his elbow and asked if I could take it since he wasn't using it. Nothing stops this super midget though! As I left after doing my incline presses, I could hear him tell the guy he trains with, "Yeah I used to do inclines with the 180's for 15-20" Only there never were 180lb db's at the gym.......
