Notting is worse than bad group instructors (maybe bad personal trainers, but my personal trainer are good so that's not a problem for me). I had one this saturday and after the class I was so annoyed and everything else that was not right, became completly wrong. (After a good workout I'm to tiered to care abouth anything).0

You are hysterical - thanks for the smile0

I can't share
Gym or food, it doesn't matter! I'd rather buy you what I'm eating then let you eat it!
I stopped going to the gym when I realized other people don't understand how to share as well.
I have my own home gym, it rocks. The only people allowed in it are people who do what I say.
I still can't share!

The only ones I don't like at the gym are similar to the ones you don't like, but more so the ones who hog the equipment as if it is theirs (I sometimes point out that I have a membership, too) preventing me from getting my workout done in a timely manner. Women are more likely to share since some of them are pretending to work out just the way we may be pretending to work, as I am right now, typing on this site rather than grading papers.0

competition. meathead(ball)s=competition for you. you want to make them look bad. little old lady=adore the ground you walk on. you have to keep that **** around to make you feel good.
I just creeped hardcore on your profile, 6'3 and 270? Firearms instructor for the military? have a brain? have a black bely in multiple disciplines? shiiiiiiiiit, wanna get married? lol0 -
You don't wanna marry me. I'm pretty sure just liking me is now a violation of the Community Guidelines here. (The mods have a dartboard with my crotch on it.)0

I guess I am too self-absorbed when I am in the gym. I throw my ipod on, read the news and go at it.0

Ha ha, love this. Thanks for the laugh while i sit at my desk and actually pretend to work!0

At my gym, there are these three pretty little (and skinny!) girls who keep asking me silly questions that could really wait until later. They also tend to watch me and giggle. Then there's this good-looking guy who keeps grabbing my butt and calling me "sexy."
Oh, wait. My gym's at home. Those girls are my kids, and that guy's my hubby! Guess there's not much to do about any of them but love 'em!
PS: No Mabel's here, but there is a fairly elderly kitty who is prone to hairballs...
Too cute!
:laugh:0 -
If another meathead were to approach me in the gym and very politely ask if he may use the dumbells whenever I finish doing curls, I'd instinctively have a burning desire to punch him in the face, then pee in every corner of the weight-room, just so he'd know that everything in there is mine.
I'm trying real hard to stifle my laughter, since I'm in the middle of a quiet office. That's hilarious.0 -
Gorilla, my guess is that you're from the Northeast (so am I, btw) where there is definitely a strong competitive vibe. Since living in Texas for the last 10 years I've grown more patient and tolerant of others. I think maybe it has to do with people being more polite and friendlier or maybe I'm just older. Anyway, I'm the one who's benefited from this because I'm not angry or on edge all the time.
Wait, what? Texas?0 -
I could care less about the meat heads, the ones that chap my hide are the women who are in the weight area on a machine, do maybe one set, and sit and talk for 20 minutes. :grumble:0

I don't know man. I can understand your perspective though...I guess it's just not that serious for me. Just tryna get a quick 60 minute swole and bounce back onto life.0

**haha, funny post! "nice form" lols
Babies find "pretty people" with soothing voices to be more appealing. The also tend to feel safer in bigger arms.
Puppies like pretty much anyone that pets, plays or feeds them.
When I'm at the gym, most people don't exist in my world. I have a set routine of machines I use, in no particular order, so if someone is using it, I use a different one.0 -
