Precisely. Acquired it from a college roommate.

Taken from funny pic thread lol

Those toxic Protein gas farts that a bro will crop dust while your doing a set.

I can't help it when I'm doing presses. They happen even when I think I'm not gassy.

You guys have had an effect on me!

This morning at the local Community Gym Center for all the residents I did something I probably wouldn't have done. Towards the end of walking to, 40 min of Cardio, and a 45 min weight routine (endorphins!!!) I ran into that guy. Despite there being 100 signs saying to allow people to work in...

Him: Sitting on a shoulder machine staring at the floor.

Me: Hey, (head rises up) you mind if I work in a set?

Him: Instant scowl. Clearly insulted. "I just have one set to do."

Me: Great, me too! That's how it works, it's a line. I get closer and look down at him with some serious eye contact! I outweigh him by ~100lbs. so he suddenly realized I wasn't leaving.

Him: He is clearly offended, but sheeps away to the side in a huff. How dare some one do that to him!

Me: I do my set while he is sitting on the machine next to it. The place is quite busy since 8:00am is approaching. Good vibe except for him.

Him: (10 min later) Back on the shoulder Overhead Machine again, staring at the floor for long periods of time. Doing nothing!

Me: I get some water, do another machine and come back to...him still sitting and staring at the floor. I need to do a set, so he is busted. "Can I work a set in again."

Him: "Well I..." Gets up and leaves after giving me the death look.

Me: Busted him in a lie, what else could he say!

Almost snapped today. I can't ****ing stand morons who put dumbells in the incorrect weight position. Especially when the correct one is 5cm to the left or right. How lazy and stupid can people be? Half the rack was peppered with wrong weights in the wrong section, dumbells all over the floor like WTF.

You're both dumb for using machines.

I like machines. It keeps people off the free weights.

Blew up on a guy yesterday. I was watching the clock and it was past time for me to start my squat set, and he is talking to some chick on speaker phone by the window right behind me. Not just on the phone in the gym.. SPEAKER pHONE

How can you work out with out earphones? My music is up loud enough to block out anything going on around me.

Are you injured or elderly?

The cords drive me f'n bonkers dude. I used to deadlift with my iPod shuffle, and the bar would hit "next" at the top of every rep, then I got all tied up in them doing cleans once and lost patience for them completely

[vwbrvr6]

I route the cables under my shirt.

This. Plus I leave my ipod in my back pocket on deadlift day. And, for front squats, I route the cable under my shirt, in back.

[quiksilver6]

Yeah I do that usually, idk I just don't like **** on me

[lonely superstar]

Are you injured or elderly?

Do you work smarter or harder?

[Rob Cote]

Do you work smarter or harder?

Smarder.

I ground my own today

Theres this crazy hott summer intern working in my building. However, she works upstairs and only comes down to the floor when theres a problem in test, which isn't my department anyways, so I really only see her in passing. But I've been waiting for an opportunity to meet her without forcing it (I'd have to go way out of my way to talk to her on a normal day). She was in the gym at work however, and as I was between dead lift sets, she started stretching against the wall right next to me. So I seized the chance and started up conversation. Felt like such a meathead afterwards though

embrace the dark side, give in to it.

Nothing meathead about having balls to go talk to a girl. Guys who DON'T go after the women they want are cowards.

Smarter or harder than what?

Yeah but probably every other dude in there did the same thing. She's a ****in' smoke show though

[quiksilver6]

Holy **** that is a sweet shirt logo and all

[leaftye]

Yes or no, the contraption below is where you take phone calls or do curls:

You'd be surprised. I have a friend at the gym, who is pretty damn hot, and in pretty great shape. I noticed her in there every time I was there, so we started talking. She told me that 90% of the time, guys in the gym just stare at her, and make her feel like a piece of meat.


Also, I saw in the progress thread, you missed a few reps on deads. Maybe you were distracted.

[ultimate steve]

I think that's also used as a way of framing yourself in the mirror while you flex/shadow box/mean mug

If squats were easy they'd be called deadlifts.

Perhaps slightly Funny how I got all 5 then the 4 but after she left I couldn't get one...

exactly.

trust me, 99% of guys can't talk to women to save their lives, and the few times they do, are massively overshadowed by the times they are too afraid to.

most women, would be thrilled for a guy to go up to them and show them some interest (exceptions being if they are in the middle of working out or doing something, and as long as you aren't ugly or come off as a total creeper)

[::xander::]

I want this shirt right now

[Chilledman]

I route the cables under my shirt.

Under my shirt down my back and into my pocket !

Why is those so hard to figure out

[quiksilver6]

Lol I figured that out in seventh grade I still don't like **** on me. Luckily my gym plays a lot of nickel back so it's all good.









Just kidding

[Chilledman]

Well there went $250 ....

[TigerinColorado]

This HOT week the BO on some people vs. the Faux-logne is a bit too much. *cough*

Then today it happens...to me. After a shower (Nivea Mens body wash is da bomb) I put on my Pebble Beach (synthetic wicking) Golf type of Polo thingy and walk the dog a mile. Afterwards, I hit the office and it smells funny. Like a clean funny. Me thinks my new earth friendly laundry detergent is a little too friendly, if ya get my drift. This shirt smells like a ferret is parked under each armpit!

Are you injured or elderly?

Neither. Thanks for your concern though!


YMMV.
