    Gyms are a funny places really. Think about it, the stuff you do in a gym you never really do anywhere else - and we pay for the privilege!! If aliens were studying our society (some think they are lol) then they would have a field day on gym behavior and some alien would write his thesis on it.

    Look the silly human, he pays someone to mow his lawn, move boxes around a warehouse, and drive him to work and then he turns around and pays someone else to be in their "house" and repeatedly lift heavy weights.

    The whole concept is so foreign to basic human existence that all manners of absurdity now becomes normal there. It has only been, recently, (historically speaking) that we go to gyms for exercise. Go back some 500 years and this would be absurd.

    I used to teach ESL (English as a second Language) to recent immigrants to this country (Canada). We did alot of field trips and invariable one of them would query about all the joggers out.

    "Why are they running?" they would ask - "everyone has a car here".
    "it's for exercise, don't people jog in your country?" I would counter with
    "only athletes do, regular people work hard already, don't need to exercise"

    edit; that said, I love going to the gym. heh


    Along those same lines societies from the past would laugh at; camping, hunting, fishing, gardening, backpacking...those are all things humans used to do for survival....and now they're re-Creation.

    Was he trying to use the Force to get his weights?


    Because I do that all the time.

    These are not the dumbells you are looking for (wave right hand slowly left to right).....

    To the OP...dudes just psyching himself up. Maybe pointing at the dumbell he's going to destroy is just his way. When I golf and I'm on the tea box, I always point my club in the direction I'm going to smash the ball off the tea (ala Babe Ruth)...it doesn't often work, but I do it anyway pretty much every time. Just an example.

    That reminds me of a guy that use to come run on the treadmills at the same time as me most days. He would start out walking super slow then gradually add speed until he looked like he was going to get flipped off the back. Then he would scream. I mean, just crazy loud gut wrenching scream two or three times and then turn the machine back down and get off.

    Scared the hell out of me every single time.



    **I just literally lol'd. I want to see this!

    Edited to add the actual post I was responding to. Message boarding while sick doesn't always turn out so well, folks!

    OP: I have no idea...Different strokes I suppose. I find it unnecessary.

    I don't make any moans, grunts, screams..Not even a peep...and I set my weights down in a controlled and collective manor.

    Like a gentleman.

    Only males make that noise in the weight area. Not sure why.

    Not true!

    What a coincidence.
    When I see people like that I make a noise that sounds like "DOOOSH", not sure what it means though.

    It is the other noises people make that make me laugh. Just because you have headphones in doesn't mean that the people around you didn't hear the fart.

    It really wasn't the *Chhhh* that was interesting, it was the fully extended arm and piont to which weight he was going to destroy. I'm sorry...I just thought it was funny =) Good thursday laugh.

    I bet the weight just peed itself and jumped right into his hands too! Am I right?
