I absolutely despise yuppies and frat boys with all my being!!!!!! I understand the new year is still young, but really hurry up and give up on your stupid resolutions to get in shape. My God the gym is not the place forbyour stupid social hour. Blocking the benches and mirrors staring and talking about the girls on the tread mills upstairs. NOBODY CARES!!!!! Some of us are actually TRYING to lift. I realize thats a novel concept for someone to go to a gym to do that. But some of us do. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Also, I am not your "bro" dont ******* call me that! I hate that phrase more than most anything! Easy bro calm down. Hold on bro I got one more set. Im about to hit the next one that calls me that with a 45lb plate across the face. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rant over.

easyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bro.

Calm down bro, they will be gone in a couple if weeks.

Great rant though.

d**n bro

Maybe they'd respect you more if you didn't wear the pink tutu

Lay off the andro, bro.

Blocking the mirrors?  Wait 'til you're my age.   You'll consider the mirror blockers to be your friends.   It's all in the perspective.

Mirrors?  Gyms have mirrors?  So much for my resolution.  I couldn't stand the sight of looking at an old man with titz and realizing it was me.

See guys ^^roid rage ^^ .. Go easy on the juice bro!

Just kidding Raider. Im going through the same thing at gym. It happens every year this time. It will be over soon.

Look on the bright side: They're keeping your membership dues low!

I should have forseen the bro comments coming when I posted this lol.

Naw its rage. I will acknowledge that. Its just not from anabolics.

Im just ready for them to leave my sanctuary. I used to go to a differnt gym during this time of year. It was a little hole in the wall place. However they closed up a couple years ago.

They are their for people like me that are extremely narcissistic and vain.

I cant help it I like watching my muscles while im working out. Its a ego trip for me. I used to use them for watching my form. Now that I have that down I just ogle myself.

Oh and I will still be doing that as an old man too. I just love myself that much.

Yeah i was going to a "Body building gym" run by a former body builder. It was great. The only people there were serious into either body building or athletics..and a few who just enjoyed being pushed by serious fitness freaks! But that place shut down and now we all go to the main stream gym here in town... it sucks but soon people will get their tax refunds and will forget all about their gym memberships.

Raider even as an old, formerly fat guy I can feel your pain. 11 months ago my Cardiologist told me to lose some weight or not make any long term plans. On Feb 23 I started going to the gym. Now 11 months later I am able to do more, and having to work around the knot-heads who have turned out in droves since the first of the year is frustrating. I still have an old guy looking back at me from the mirror, but he is a lot sexier than he once was!  Hang in there. I'm told in a month or two all will be back to normal.

 

FWIW I was one of the knot-heads that didn't have a clue about proper gym etiquette when I started. Now I can hang with the big boys... I'm just using about half the weight.

That is awesome. Gotta love working out with the big boys. Gym etiquette was huge at the first gym I went to. Those men didnt mess around about it either. That is the only draw back to the big fitness club chains its multiple people learning it at the same time. As opposed to maybe one or two.

I miss my body building gym. The camaraderie was awesome. Everyone would push each other to do better.It didnt matter if you had a lifting buddy or not, because someone would always be willing to spot you. Plus you could yell, grunt loudly, and go insane pumping eachother and yourself up and no one thought it was weird, or"scared" people. I just miss that aatmosphere. I mean they dont even know what or will get bands and chains at my current gym.

Raider what are your stats? height/weight/bf/bench/dead/squat

 

My ultimate goal is 200 lbs, 8% bf. I'm 5'10" Currently at the end of a bulk, 195, around 12/13%

I couldn't imagine going to a gym. Thankfully for my level of lifting I have enough machines treadmill bench and dumbbells to do what I do.

I feel for you

This is exactly why I have my own gym.
