Definition of a Gym Bully?

[hotttsauce]

OK, I am a big ole goof ball most of the time, but occasionally get a little tired of the same old questions. Main and I picked a new gym to focus on training, a lot less people, more hard core, but the same old questions keep coming.

I try to be polite and give a quick bit of advice then go about my business. Tonight I was walking to get some water for my oats before my cardio and get the, I have a messed up pec, what do I do? I told him I was kinda rushed, but gave him a few suggestions, and he kept asking more and more and more. I have a mouth full of cold oats in my mouth and am half spitting them out trying to give him answers hoping he would take the hint, even though I already told him I was rushed. When I told him I was sorry but I needed to hit cardio he just looked at me like I was a jerk. So instead of planting him in the concrete wall beside of us I just turned around and walked off.

This instance, no I think I was ok. A few weeks ago Main left me alone at the gym, never a good idea, and this reject walks in with his cockeyed hat, wife beater and attitude, you know the type, leaving the dumbells a wreck. When I couldn't find the weights I was looking for, I went over to him and told him to "straighten the Muther Fuckin weights up NOW!" He did, I also think he might have wet himself a little. Then I went an extra step, and said, "If I see you wearing that hat cockeyed again I am gonna knock your fucking head off". He hasn't worn a hat since.

OK. first instance I dont think I was a gym bully, I dont have time to be looking for weights, the hat thing, yea I went over board, but I was in a mood.

Like I said, normally I am the easiest, happy go lucky guy in the world, I just hate answering the same questions and why do ya do it when I am spotting someone or in the middle of a set???????????

Can someone help me define gym bully? I really don't wanna be one. I enjoy helping others out when I have time, I really do! Maybe I shoulda put this on the counseling thread .... lol!

I hear ya bro. Sometimes you have to set a pace at a new gym, like from day one I make it clear I'm not there to talk, Not that I'm such a dick, but I simply don't have the time to talk with people there for business and thats it. Get some headphones and crank the tunes, or just get some headphones, even if the battery dies you can just act like the music is blaring and you cannot hear the person or their questions.

Thanks Bro!

Now that is a good idea, guess I need to eat to music too ... lol! Thought Main and I made it both pretty clear we were training for reasons, but some people just dont get it. Usually I keep my head down or talk to Main, yea every once and a while I will do the Rick Flair "Woo Hoo" to liven the place up, but all n all we just pound the old Iron.

You need help!!.............................................LOL. I am, only because i have to be, a bit more diplomatic than that. Cause I own the gym. A Gym bully is someone that intimidates other members, drops weights, hogs equipment, has a bad attitude in general and barks at anyone that comes near him oh and of course they know everything there is to know about everything. Usually arrogant and self centered and not nearly big enough or strong enough to be like that. I have been in other gyms and told "The bad asses" like the type you have described to show some respect and put the shit back where they got it. I can't say as I have ever told anyone off for wearing a stupid hat though! I do tell the noobs in my gym to put away their weights, no dropping weights, unload the machines and use towels on my benches. If I have to tell them more than three times i lose the diplomatic approach and just tell them straight .................no please, no thank you's.


You fuckin bully!!!

You fuckin bully!!!

I knew I was a bully, you described me to a T! I would never have went to the "hat statement" if the lil wet stain woulda put away his weights though. I just had to throw a little something extra in.

I am gonna go in a corner now and lash myself with reeds!

[wedge]

You were overboard just a tad...

I know where you are coming from and I am sure you are not a everyday gym bully. Everybody has a snapping point and I am sure everyone on this board has jumped a punk over reracking their weights. I hate the hat to the side of the head look but whatta ya gonna do. They will look back someday and look at old pictures of themselves and wonder wtf was I thinking. I wouldnt loose any sleep on the matter.

Now there's another contradiction in your statement, you can't have a steriod induced psychosis and be LYFAO at the same time...............................Geez...................................Fuckin Bully!!!

Thats it! I am flying down there (over there whatever it is) and coming after your Kiwi Ass now!!!!!!

And actually if your in the state of psychosis, you can be manic, therefore you COULD be laughing, I think we need Sassy to weigh in on this one!

 

[thebrick]

yeah!!! MAYBE if he has been suffering from steroid induced psychosis.... maybe none of this really happened at all!!!! maybe it was just a hallucination during his 5th forced rep... and he THOUGHT he was a bully!

 

[MAINEVENT]

I cant believe i missed this thread. Yeah, you went kind of overboard with the hat thing but oh well. As for the rest........seriously, they really try and talk to you while your doing a heavy freakin set. Like Hottt said, we usually keep our heads down and encourage each other and help when we can but these guys are clueless. Its making going to the gym a real hassel at times anymore. You want to be nice, but at the same time LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE!!!!!!!!

BTW, as you can tell Hottt and I are like Yen and Yang. He loves to hoot and holler and im pretty quiet but its funny. We laugh at ourselves alot now that i think of it.

 

[buffbabeca]

I think u sent it to the wrong address i didnt get it

Geez your psychosis is getting out of control.....................and no we don't need Sassy to wade into this cause all she's gonna do is kick your bullying ass from one end of the gym to another......GOT THAT!!
Geez............................Fuckin Bully!!!

Who loves ya baby?????.............................................
