What's up with the staring?

[MAX 300]

Ok, this doesn't happen to me all the time, but it does happen and I just don't get it.

At the gym last night I was doing back. This beefcake guy was there, I had never seen him before, was doing a mishmash of a whole body workout.

All of his exercises were jerky, uncontrolled and with shithouse form. He did nearly the whole stack on the lat pulldown machine, totally using his weight to swing backwards and use the momentum. Then he'd walk around with his arms out to the side acting all puffed.

I am beyond the point of laughing at idiots, I just ignored him. But that was getting harder to do because the guy staring at me from about half way through my routine.

When I did deadlifts for my last exercise, I like to keep the best till last, he actually sat down on the bench near by and watched. He didn't say anything, he just stared with a moronic, disbelief look on his face.

Gay? This was one fat guy, wearing a wifebeater, he just didn't strike me as gay. Yet, he stared at me for a good 25 minutes.

So, what the fuck?

Feel free to bitch about starers in this thread.

Must be a perth thing Max

I'm too focussed on what i'm doing to be bothered staring at someone.......unless a hot ass chick walks into the gym in which case i turn into a dribbling fool.

Thanks man, don't make me remind you that Sydney is the gay capital of Australia.

I can understand staring at hot chicks, who doesn't? But this guy was staring at me, and not just a little bit, he sat down near me while I was doing deadlifts and just stared.

Nothing wrong with heavy cable lat pulldowns with some swing in it.

I dont see what the problem is with someone staring. Figure it out. Either ignore it or make a funny face towards him or something.

Maybe you should try wearing shorts next time you train

Whenever soemone stares at me too long, I start howling like a monkey. As long as they're staring, I want to give them something to be amused about.

Who's the one doing the staring?

Yeah, especially for people who couldn't do a pull-up if their life depended on it.

You mean my speedos are not appropriate gymwear?

Noted, I'll try that next time and see how many other people start staring.

Sounds to me like you were doing quite a bit of staring yourself there bro.....I mean you know what he was wearing (in detail), you know about his form, how many plates he was using, etc.....Just bustn' your balls.........just need to learn to tune everything out and train bruh.........
