:damn: how yall cats workout from 5-7.....

I know there's some bad chicks, but I'm there to workout. I can barely even function in the gym around 8:30pm, let alone during "prime time" hours...

All work and no play makes Popo one angry mofo. I do it occasionally when I'm off school like now so that I don't have to rush through work lunch break

1st Round Playoff Exits
I made the mistake of going at 10pm once and shyt was still crowded. Saw the gym, looked around :beli: , and said fukk it and went home.

:ufdup: see I would have just punked them out of the spot. Cats in the gym have very fragile egos, when you significantly out lift them. Especially when they're a lot bigger than you...

Case in and point, last night, I'm finishing up my routine,Gym is crowded, chicks are mediocre and i see ol boy setting up the deadlifts :whew:...

I go :myman:, can I jump in between sets. Breh had np. Breh starts sweating hard off of 2 plates. Breh swears DL are his favorite lift and has been doing them for years. I effortlessly murder that sh*t. Then ask what number is breh going up too. Breh proudly mentioned some 2 plates and a 25. :usure: I tell him my working sets usually start at 315, then rack up 405+ depending on my mood. This cat gave me some lame excuse about usually h*tting 3 plates, in a way like that's a lot of weight (for some people I guess :yeshrug:)but having a fairly recent back injury from deadlifts...

I set up 3 plates and murder it. Breh then attempts to hit 275, and fails miserably. To top it off, his form was atrocious. No wonder he had a back injury, breh didn't use his legs for sh*t. Even stiff-legged, he was off-balance, should have taped it come to think of it :ohhh:. After he failed to h*t 275, he dropped back down to 225. And gave some half assed excuse about being done, I could tell breh soul was hurt inside :to:

:manny:

Moral of the story, cats in the gym have fragile egos. If you're an alpha male, there's always a place in a crowded gym for you...

Honestly, if someone were to outlift me, with "prolific" form I'd take it encouragement. There's this cat at my game who double overhand deadlift 405x10, for 3 sets. Dude is a beast.

Interesting social dynamics of men gym goers here :ehh:

I didn't realize all that alpha male and rank assessment was frequently going on.

My female-lifter friends and I just avoid eye contact with the dudes, get it in, look haggard, and then bounce. I may be gazing at a particular direction intensely while lifting cause I'm deep in thought, but some ego-maniac always thinks I'm checking them out and starts smiling or approaching. Just best to avoid eye contact and keep visible headphones on.

The basketball courts and fitness classes downstairs, I believe that is where the rich social activity occurs among the youngsters, and I avoid all that completely.

I always wonder what it's like for females in the gym. I don't wanna ask my friends cause I don't wanna seem pervy :russ:

But I guess it would be an awkward experience for women in the gym. Especially if they are cute and depending on what thy are wearing :ohhh:

i try to do most of my fri workouts in the morning before work that way i can start my weekend as soon as i leave here. and there is always this group of older dudes, about 3-4 of them, i'd guess they range in age from 40-50, and they're always doing chest. they stay on the bench for about the entire time it takes me to do my whole leg workout. and they clearly overload the bar w more weight than any of them can handle. terrible form, terrible spotting, terrible everything. i've actually mentioned them in this thread before and how i am astonished nobody had injured themself yet. the oldest looking dude of the group today gets under 315+, his boys help him get it off the rack and over his body, he goes down about an inch, and i saw it happening in slow motion and he lost it :bryan:, his boys were barely able to stop it from crushing his sternum, even a trainer had to go over there to help them get it back up. i just don't get the whole thing man. someone's gonna end up dying.
