>.< And that's why I stopped weightlifting after high school. I KNEW I wasn't being paranoid.0 -
A guy working out in just his socks. I didn't think it was that weird when he was doing crunches in the carpeted open area, but then he went to the free weight area and then the weight machines all sans socks.
He also loudly talked on his phone via his blu tooth through his entire workout.
Lol I'm guilty of this. If I'm planning to run after lifting I'll wear my running shoes so I don't get shin splints, but I'll take my shoes off to lift so the bulky soles don't muck up my squat.
One of the trainers there does a barefoot kettlebell class so I don't worry too much about it.0 -
Last night I was at the gym and I saw this guy working out on the hip abductor machine talking to himself going yeah baby yeah baby....
Yeah I lost all focus after that lol
i guess you weren't really that focused to begin with.
I have ADHD lol lot of things can distract me (I'm the ooo shiny or look squirrel person).... that's why I have Pandora on when I work out to keep my mind focus. This happened right between songs where is a no sound... and he was talking really loud. :bigsmile:
you're 37. you can't have a little kid problem.
You aren't a Dr and yep I do have it and it does exist.

It's not THAT weird but I like the old guys who wear striped weight lifting pants pulled up extra high like a boxer from the 1920s. You can't just get some shorts or something? Why not at least bring it to the 80s and get some Zubaz pants? Then again I'm not one to talk. I try to wear the dumbest shirt possible on purpose like my $5 pug shirt from Walmart.0

A new PF opened in my neighborhood, and for whatever reason, there are 6 or 7 different people wearing those plastic sweat suits at any given time. And we're not talking about elite athletes trying to make weight either. :noway:0

Not everyone will think this weird but there was one girl who was into strength competitions. She had large muscles and a deep voice.0

My gym is a running trail and my basement. I see the occasional freaky, disgusting, gross, scary and ugly spider down there. GAG.
Funny, you should mention that...my gym is my garage and yesterday I had to chase out a black snake that had made it's way in (and I happen to live above that garage). Shooed him out by wacking at him repeatedly with my workout calendar. He finally got the message after getting a couple of strikes in at the calendar. Dogs thought I had gone bonkers.0 -
I saw a woman one day (in great shape) and she was in the locker room. Lying on the floor, doing sit ups, butt naked. I just though OMG what confidence but it still makes me laugh.0

You think ADHD is something you grow out of? Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. :noway:0 -

Had a lady (mid 40's) stand next to me doing curls.....It was fine until she started singing "Hey Marcarena" way loud.....0

If I did go to a gym I certainly wouldn't judge or laugh at people. At least they are there, right?
Great attitude!0 -

Today, at the gym, I saw young guy with dockers, dress shirt and tie, doing pull-ups!!0

There's a little private workout area in the gym's locker. An old man came out of the shower and proceeded to do sit ups in the buff in front of me. I was on the treadmill; I braved it rather than stopping my run and move elsewhere.I saw a woman one day (in great shape) and she was in the locker room.

We have a whole crew that is slightly chubby that will wrap themselves in Saran wrap before they work out. First time I only saw one...now I know he has like five buddies that have all bought into this plastic wrap madness. They literally pass the plastic wrap around the changing room. :huh:
:laugh: This one cracks me up :laugh:0 -

This is weird and I'm really jealous.
But there is this guy at my gym who is extremely buff. Like elite level competition buff. And he eats cheeseburgers between his sets. He walks into the weight room with a bag of 3-4 Big Macs and just pounds them down while he works out.0 -

I was waiting for it.0
