anyone els get this shit at the gym ??

mormussle · Apr 29, 2012

I have been at the same gym for 15 years. So I have a lot of friends. I'm a nice guy, and many people know me and my girl friend. Lots of the girls even kiss me when they see me. Then we have the haters. People I see almost every day who will not even say hi, or be polite. A lot of the guys are natural Body Builders, who seen to ether disdain or fear me, ether way, they want nothing to do with me. I have been told I look like a bad ass, so maybe thats it?? or maybe some how they feel I cheat them some how because of AS, and the fact that I am much bigger than them. We are also on the ritzy side of town, so we get a few snots hear and there, men and women. I guess you can't be friends with everyone. LOL.

Well I consider myself one of "those guys." If someone speaks to me in the gym, I'll speak back. But honestly, I hate engaging in conversation. It detracts from my workout and ruins my focus. I'm there to get my workout in and I just don't have the extra time to chat with people.

^^^^^^This for sure, I don't know anybody at any of the gyms I go to, nor do I want to. I get and get out.

Good point. I just get the feeling it goes beyond that.

Its pretty common if your in an area with mostly "natural" bodybuilders. Ive been a trainer and everything at local gyms, made tons of friends, and ran the local nutrition and supplement store, so people come to me for a lot of advice. That being said there are obvious haters who can tell im on juice, and they simple think they are better than me for that fact. I ignore them, get into the gym, say hi to the ones that matter... then the headphones go on and Im in the zone. Afterwords I can talk while having my shake and oats, but until then its business time.

Dont worry bro, let haters hate.

Exactly how i feel. Id never be rude or ignore anyone in the gym but it's the one time i dont want to socialise. I must give that vibe because no one speaks to me there really. Im actually s very friendly sociable guy, i just like to focus on the iron when im there

I don't talk much at the gym. The people you know there and see frequently are not really friends, they are gym acquaintances. Don't feel bad about not engaging in irrelevant conversations. You are there to train.

LeadFarmerMF-er · Apr 29, 2012

I train at a college rec center and I get mean mugged daily. An overwhelming amount of guys at my gym do half reps and take 5 minute breaks between sets. I'm not very big but I'm still much bigger than all the little boys that half ass everything at the gym. Haters gonna hate.

Doesn't bother me. I talk to the people who say hi. Do my thing and leave. Haven't lost a nights sleep yet.

kinglewy · Apr 29, 2012

Although I rarely say two words to anyone at the gym I do often get mean mugged and stares. Not because I am big or anything but I think I put on too much weight too fast and my strength is up quite a bit and all these guys wear "Bodybuilding.com" t-shirts and appear to be natural. They give me dirty looks like I am "cheating" or something.

It doesn't bother me but sometimes just to rub it in I will take a bench right next to where they are struggling with say 250 and put 350 or so on there and rep it like baby weight, just to let them know that if I wanted to I could toss them around like fucking rag-dolls.

People at my gym tend to avoid me but not because Im huge or look mean. It's my violent and explosive gas problem that keeps people away

Hi!

I have learned that NOTHING pisses off other jelous dudes worse than going out of your way to say hello and be friendly ESPECIALLY when they are in the presence of their girls. Makes them look extra insecure when they dont return the gesture and their woman is looking at them like "wow, your a real asshole" and you look like the nicest fucking guy on earth. Extra bonus points and probably some action if this is all visible to the other cute female patrons who again think "wow that is one confident and friendly guy".

WARNING: Said jealous guy may try to become your best friend and start an hour conversation in the middle of your workout so keep it brief and on the move.
Secondly: Those aformentioned other cute female gym goers may want you to spontaneously impregnate them.

you need some steroids for your mind... cuz it's weak as shit bro !

I don't give a fuck what people think about me or if they hate or love me

I believe they act in the same manor outside the gym . I have to talk to people through the day and some people are just a sandwich short of a picnic basket .

AlphaMaleDawg · Apr 29, 2012

I don't mind small talk between sets. I'll talk to some people at the gym. It's the people who want to have full on conversations even while I am doing a set that annoy me. I wouldn't say I have any haters at all. Even if I did, I'd find it more amusing than anything

w8tlifterty · Apr 29, 2012

I'm as nice as a guy as you could meet but.... I work w/ ppl all day, all types of ppl. The last thing I want when I arrive to the gym is to conversate... now, being cordial is one thing but do not expect for someone who is a serious bodybuilder to make conversation or engage in it. Like many have said, it interupts the flow of the w/o and breaks concentration. I find, most men, especially in my area are there to socialize and meet women. Good for them, just stay out of my way. Doesn't make me insecure, nor does it make me an asshole. I am there to do one thing, slag iron, thats it. No offense...

turbobusa · Apr 29, 2012

Most of the time i'm putting in the ear phones and turning the volume waaay up as I walk in. The times I don't I usually wish I did . Talking has to happen after the work out for me . I have no controll over what a person thinks of me.waste of energy... Thanks, T
