What do the women do at your gym?

[Hannibal]

Oh, this is too funny!

I look around my gym and see MOST people doing things wrong...guys included.

My point is, BOTH sexes are guilty of "doing it wrong," and anyone who is going to go to the gym and do things half assed should stay home, just like you said.

Yes but if you did that most commercial gyms would have to shut down for lack of membership. And 90% fo the personal trainers would have to turn in their certificate by mail.

I'm just glad I was able to help you get closer to your goals. And fix your shoulder. GOT BENCH?

Ok I got one more then I'll leave it alone.
We had this guy in his late 40's strap on a powerlifting suit while in the middle of the gym then he began clapping his hands and scream'n (I guess getting pumped up for the lift) of course everyone stops to check'm out thinking he's really gonna do something he loads the bar a wapping 150lbs without a spot he drops the bar during the first rep and has to roll out from under the bar. Everyone was too busy laughing to help.

I think that's just because most women do not have other weight lifting buddies to teach or trainers to teach them the correct way to do things. If they'd only ask questions........or observe how other peope do it.

Everyone has to start somewhere I suppose....but no need to make an ass out of yourself in the process.

The women at my gym are just like the guys, as far as training.

1) You have the ones that are there to seriously train, including some very good fitness competitors and body builders.

2) The ones who have never had any training in what they are doing, so they are feeling their way through it.

3) The ones that are going to be there for just a short time and then disapear.

To be honest I hate being around most of the men at my gym. They have no idea about racking their weights. The don't strip the weights when they are through with a machine. And they act like the women are there to be their private eye candy, when some of the women could run their butts into the ground.

My Favorites

I have a few gym personality type favorites:

Wife Beaters: Gotta love em!

The Gay guy: Who likes to compliment you when your naked in the locker room

The Body For Life for the next 2 months zealot: Comes to gym suddenly enlightened, uses every machine, rights down everything in a log (and spends more time on the log than working out) and then quits after 2 months when he/she realizes what time of the day it is..

The New Years Resolution Twinkie: Fat guy/girl or couple comes in gym from January, maybe into the middle of march jumps up and down enthusiastically, walks up a storm, maybe uses a machine or two, rambles around aimlessly, takes up too damn much space in the locker room and then finally quits and posts on NAAFA.ORG that they where discriminated against and everybody made fun of them in the gym...

Unmotivated Types: Don't know why they're at the gym in the first place.. They at least go most of the year but have 0 motivation and fire when the workout.. Men or women that appear to be afraid they'll mess up their hair or break a sweat if they actually try. Also they'll ramble around the weight room and get in your way since they don't have any fucking plan.. Of course I just bump into/through them and if they say anything give them one of my "Halo Stares"..


Body for Spring Breakers: Just love to see other guys with beer guts/etc come in March and think their going to get ripped abs by spring break.. They usually bother me and ask me what I do..etc. Sometimes I'll just tell them: "Hey, stop watching all those damn infomercials - You have a long way to go and you'll never undo all your neglect in 30-60 days - ever.." Anyway, these clowns disappear after spring break..

Tart Girl: Hey, I like having tarts as a treat just like any man.. But, it gets pretty annoying when some attention seeking bitch decides to wear see through stuff,etc and be a pest.. I'm actually there to workout - they usually leave you alone after you seem disinterested (not to mention when you get near me you'll see how intense and sweaty I really am) and then talk to the flabby middle aged crisis guy that's been bothering them all day.

what the women do at my gym

let me think, hmmmmmmmm. ok, i got it. they come in to do cardio more decked out than the tree in rockafellar center. of course of all the machines available they have to pick the one that i can get a clear view of their ass. but it doesn't end there. it gets so hot that they have to keep on lifting up there shirts so I can get a clear view of the tatoo they have on their lower back, sometimes they don't have a tatoo so i guess they want to show off their spine. are you done ffos? hell no, that is just he beginning. they also have to wear a tank top type of shirt and do the butt blaster that is close to the curl machine that i am using. then of course they have to lift of their head so i view their breasts.

let's talk about lift weights. what in the wide wide world of sports is 2.5 lbs weight supposed to do for anybody? maybe if you are looking for a stretch or something.


women come to work out and don't want to be bothered by men. BULL FUCKING SHIT. more like, to come in there and be big time cock teaser and go home feeling good about themselves because of the attention they got.

I personally like the fact that most women do not lift weights......and if they do, they use light weight....

Why do I like it? More for me to use!

unfortunately, the women's section in my gym only has dumbbells up to 25 pounds, so 99% of the time, I work out in the main section where its mostly men.

I do however get very annoyed when I see someone (male or female) who has 5 pairs of dumbbells around them----rack your weight even if you need it again in a couple of minutes.

I think this guy's brother works out at my gym..HEHE!!
Check this out!!!!!
We have this older guy probably in his late 40s. He will rack up like 4 plates, wrap his knees up for a set of squats (shit, he wraps his knees for everything he does). He then goes to find some sucker to spot him. He then takes the weight off the rack with his spotter standing behind him. Without fail, every fricken time, he is nearly falling over before the weight comes off the rack (and this is just his first rep!). His spotter normally freaks out cuz this guy just has no control of his weight or what he is doing. Usually, two or three other guys come over to help and they just rack the weights back up. This whole thing happens in a matter of less than a minute. The moron didn't even get ONE REP! Funny thing..after a five minute rest, he repeats the process all over! He does this for bench press too. This is also of course after he writes it in his workout log book.......

People, stay away from people like this! These freaks scare me!
