Oh, man, that's funny. I caught myself doing this earlier. I immediately chastised myself, but then I started to rationalize it, which went something like...

Well, I mean, nobody saw, right? Rawr. I am like an animal. So fierce. Like a lion. Stalking the jungle. And my mane is so silky soft. Mmm. I just wanna pet on myself. Lions are the Kings of the Jungle, despite the fact that they don't even live there. I mean, that's pretty bad ass, right. I wonder what Fabio would look like as a lion...

Going to the gym and working out is hard enough for me but lately it’s been kind of rough. First the gym I go to is a "fitness center" and not a real gym. I guess it’s to bring in people that don’t want a real gym. Now I wish there was a real gym close to me but there isn’t. Lately since I’ve been spending more time in the gym, I’ve notice several annoying things.

First annoying thing is ridiculous amount of stretching that people do. Especially guys. I wish I had a taser for every time a guy bends over and starts stretching in front of me. Nobody wants to see somebody’s chicken legs flex out.

I saw a guy doing what looked like quarter squat GM's this morning, it was like he was greeting a japanese guy the mirror, his shoulders moved a tiny bit but God knows what he thought he was doing

LMAO, i know what you mean. Some people think they are squatting and they are using their back for most of the lift. Funny sh!t.
 
If anybody reads my journal then they seen the guy who benched 405 story. Well I went to the gym yesterday and he was there, squatting. I was surprised to see, well 405 on the bar. Needless to say it was about a 1/8th ROM squat.

Then he dropped down to 135 for some 1/4 front squats.
 
The gym manager was spotting me on the bench press the other day, I was on the last rep and giving it all I had and suddenly some spit came flying out of my mouth and hit him in the face! :yelrotflmao:
 
Oh yeah, this one's not funny, but more awkward. I'm doing good mornings when this lanky dude walks up to his little friend and kisses him. Then they do this little makeout thing. I thought I was in 'Brokeback gym'

They sound like the kind of guys that join Planet Fitness but back out because it is too hardcore.
 
2 interesting things happened to me at the gym.

1st - I was doing some heavy dumbbell rowing, I was really pushing myself and in the middle of the set i threw up a bit in my mouth, i just swallowed the puke and continued my set, didn't let that affect my workout.

2nd - A guy doing lat pulldowns asked me for a spot, he squeezed 4,5 reps by himself, then I was helping he get few more reps by pushing the bar downwards, The last few reps I got a pretty good workout from it. I mean, why not just lower the weight and do proper pulldowns :yelrotflmao:
 
Today a guy and his girlfriend were in the gym and he was trying to show her deadlifts using dumbells. She was having major problems with the balance of getting low. They were whisper screaming at each other and may have fought had there not been people around.

Funny thing is she was standing with her feet only about 4 inches apart. I think thats how he was doing it also with the trap bar. Lesson for the guys, dont train your girls.
 
Didnt see this personally, but my buddy pointed out a woman at the gym who he has done cardio next to. He was telling me how she will turn the treadmill on, keep it running and step off, make a phone call, head to the bathroom, get a drink, etc, the whole time keeping the machine on; and at the end, will tell her friend on the phone "I just finished doing an hour on the treadmill." :yelrotflmao:

Ive also seen an late middle aged woman with a designer workout outfit trimmed with fur reading a magazine while doing leg presses.
 
Seen a guy doing bb bor with about 4" of movement.
