    Wut?

    The New Year's rush is a thing....is it not?

    I've seen about a decade's worth now. The gym fills up for 3 weeks to 3 months...then it empties out.

    I guess commenting on the duration of said, and from what I have seen statistically backed, occurrence makes me an elitist....and I guess some sort of critic but I absolutely have no idea what I've criticized.

    Ok.

    I have no issue with anything you said at any point in this thread or any other, including any time you have insulted me or pointed out something I was wrong about.



    I insulted you?....SQ
    With the amount of insults you toss around, it's not unlikely.

    What are you talking about? SQ.

    No offense.

    ?

    It's related to the everyone's concepts are wrong thread. Never mind.

    Ahh, I didn't make it into that one....I don't think?

    I'm just getting a laugh at all of the unnecessary flagging, lol.

    But yeah my gym goes thru the same thing but it doesn't really bother me.

    My favorite is the girl that posts she works out at home got flagged.

    I've seen some new faces at the gym already, but I go as soon as they open to avoid the busy times in general.

    I will add that for the next month or so, I'm going to face the treadmills when doing my deadlifts now.

    In my gym it's Valentines Day.

    That being said, BE NICE TO RESOLUTIONARIES. Some of them stay, and some are successful.

    I started with the new year, because I also had a new job in a new office, and my new gym had a new years offer (no membership fees).

    2 years later, I'm still here bitchez. And I can out deadlift many of the bros.

    Just my $0.02.

    Should I start dressing like a stereotypical gym bro and slam my weights and yell with my friends to scare away the new people? :|

    If you want to, I guess.

    Although, that really hasn't been what this thread is about, so.....

    Mine as well. This thread has given me my first flags. I guess someone didn't like what I had to say and went back and flagged all of my posts. It's funny because I never said I didn't want new people in the gym.

    I have noticed in San Diego, CA anyhow that it lasts until Super Bowl. It picks up two weeks later in February and then by the time "Saint Patrick's Day" drinking holiday starts, the gym empties out.

    Is there somewhere you can see all the flags a person has? That is cool.

    I swear people flag stuff because a) they don't like someone, or b) they're stupid and think it means they LIKE a post.

    If you go to the notification tab where it tells you when there are new posts in your starred threads (the little bell thingy- it took me forever to figure it out haha) and click "all notifications" it will tell you how many you have :)

    You can see how many you have, not sure if you can see everyone else's.

    I wonder if people will eventually start getting in trouble for flagging without any real cause. It has to be a pain for the mods to sift through all the unwarranted flags.

    I have 92! Woohoo! I feel so special! B)

    ETA wait...I didn't realize I post that much...too much time on these silly boards. Perhaps there's a New Years Resolution in there somewhere.

    I think it goes to the mods once a post hits 5 flags. So thankfully not every.single.flag.

    When those people figure out their goal that requires a long-term commitment cannot be accomplished with a short-term plan.

    WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!? You mean I won't wake up at my goal weight after only 3 days of walking on a treadmill at a pace I still talk on my phone at and eating kind of clean, but totally earning it because I went to the gym?

    I'm out . . . .
