Doh! I should have realized that. Twelve years of football = drain bamage.

what i loved in my early years of lifting before i ran cycles i was of exceptional strength from a hard country farm/ranch life, your typical country boy!
well anyways in reference to the a-hole who says i can lift yadda yadda, i replied oh, really. nice and proceeded to put the weight he mentioned on the bar and said give it a go dude. either he did or didnt but i loved it afterwards when i added even more 45's on and proceeded to go ass to the ground and he would stare with a dumb look on his face not realizing beforehand i was capable of more weight from my hard lifestyle.

If it's that easy to crush three vertebrae from twisting your neck, imagine what you could do from twisting your entire body!

Trust me. This guy is constantly doling out "advice". Believe me when I tell you that there is NO way ANYone is gonna tell him what is dangerous and what isn't while "moving" a weight. I emphasize moving because it is apparent to me he isn't too interested in actually "lifting" the weights he uses. He is a stocky guy like I said but his build leaves a lot to be desired. I might add he also has ILS. Just picture it...I guy with a bar with 3 plates a side on it and he is doing toros twists. What the Hell could possibly going through your head when seeing this?! The thing is I believe it is up to the trainers to instruct and ensure safety in a gym environment no? That is if they themselves know what proper lifting form is. Some people just gotta touch the hot stove. You know what I mean?
Summer's coming brothers and sisters!!! See ya on the beach!!!

Pretty much hate it when people grunt excessively not because they need to but because they feel like it will get them noticed...

I hate when I'm working on quads and some muscel-headed upperbody freak wants to give me "advice" or "pointers" about thing I could care less about. I'm usually like "Listen, meathead, I NEED skinny arms and a sunken chest. You try lugging all that deadweight uphill." Then they still go on about themselves and their biceps and pecs and tell me I need to be sculpted like them. If you want pretty men go to a gay bar, but leave me alone!

A long time ago, I remember this guy used to come in the gym, and all I remember him doing is curls, and the guy stunk to high heaven. So bad in fact, that if I were to roll in dog crap, I would smell better. You could smell this guy clear across the gym. After he finished his curls, he would then get in the jacuzzi. And each time, Dan (the owner of the gym) would have to drain and sterilize it.

**cujo-1** · May 5th, 2008, 11:16 PM

man what an idiot! if i had to work out in the same gym i might have 2 switch times or hurt the guy. or gym!

Pilatunes · May 15th, 2008, 10:29 AM

The people who spit their gum into the fountain. There are garbage pails for that!

On the subject of bad form....the 'I can curl xxx lbs!' gang, which really means 'I can swing the weight forward with my hips, use the momentum to get the weight up just far enough to pivot my elbows underneath and make it look like I did a curl.' One guy at my gym is an expert at this....I swear to God, his biceps hardly flex at all when he does curls. I wished I could get a short video segment.

Then there are the people that move barbells around the gym carelessly, waiting to knock someone cold who is doing bench press or something. They usually wear an iPod so they can block out the sound of someone going 'Look out!!!'.

**gunshowbabe** · May 15th, 2008, 10:46 AM

for me :

people that sweat all over the cardio machines and dont' clean up after themselves
People that don't rack their weights back
people that stare at me like I'm an alien from outter space... just because I'm a chick...
People that leave dumbells one foot away from the rack... or leave them leaning against it... Way to go you muscular hero...you almost made it.. so close!
the grunters
the half naked chicks that walk like they are so cool becuase they are at the gym, while their bones bulge out of their bodies from lack of muscle... and dont even try work out... ???
the guy that sits on the bench for like 20 minutes talking on the phone!
the 9 foot guy that calls me "shorty"... isn't everyone else shorty to him too?
the guys that always underestimate me becuase I'm a girl... Okay.. I know it's unusual.. but it's not impossible...
the guy that waits for me to walk to the water foutain takes my machine and leaves sweat all over it when I get back... yuck!!
The guy that purposely walks infront of me while I'm doing the adductor machine to catch a peak... yeah I've noticed.

Ok that's all I can think of for now

lol

**painless2** · May 15th, 2008, 10:55 AM

THe only good thing about the half naked chicks, especially the ones out here with the implants crushed into a tiny top, is that it makes my testosterone levels go up and I lift more! lol

**gunshowbabe** · May 15th, 2008, 11:00 AM

lol whatever tickles your pickle homie! haha

I could see if they were in good shape or if they were trying to get there.. but the girls I'm talking about seem to only be there to keep an eye out on their boyfriends or something... they literaly sit against the wall or take up space on the machine next to the one their boyfriends are using...
