Many gyms do not feel like places of health and fitness

[blkhrt_jordan]

Steroid addicts and abusers, thots in makeup in shameful yoga pants and bras, degenerate rap music being played on speakers, young men overheard engaging in vain gossip, workout shakes filled with artificial sweetners in plastic shaker cups, fake spray tans,whatever.

It is all against long term health, centeredness and fitness. I have known many mentally ill spiritually ill bodybuilders with a pathetic death wish who destroy, not build, some aspects of themselves, in the gym. People rationalize their steroid dependencies. A local porn actor owns one gym in my town, another popular one was owned by a drug dealer who was killed violently. There are many people of all walks of life who succumb to bad ways, and if they had places to feel a sense of belonging with other citizens, I believe we would rescue many from misery and destruction.

The same could be said about bars, clubs, restaurants, rush hour traffic, basically all aspects of living in the western world.
There’s always the option to move to parts of the Middle East where there’s no music , no alcohol, women with only their eyes visible to look at, no homosexuality, no freedom, mandatory public prayer several times a day.

Hey, Buzz Killington, the world has been falling apart for a long time;
An Assyrian clay tablet dating to around 2800 B.C. bears the inscription: “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”
I think we'll survive yoga pants and sports bras.

I live in a bubble and I'm vaccinated against a select population of people. I get out occasionally, although people don't like to be around me due to the fact I'm on a sliding scale of the spectrum.

Same.

That cheered me up today.

The problem is everyone pays attention to everyone else. If you have a goal for yourself, what other people do is irrelevant. Succesful, strong minded people understand this.

If my plan is to get jacked and fucking tan. I dont give a shit whos wearing yoga pants(unless her ass is awesome, might hit it) or whos taking what or whos doing what.

People need to be laser focused and the world will be a better place.

candy bowls full of dbol:lightbulb:

I assume you are Mr Perfect. People who look down on many like you are usually fucked up in some weird secretive way. You feel you have to rescue people from misery and destruction. After reading your post I feel like you almost need to be rescued yourself. Well hopefully you manage to rescue and enlighten some steroid abusers and get them to stop listening to terrible rap music whilst they inject their tren. Maybe some yoga pants wearing sluts will also see the light and change their ways after reading your post.

Ps- Although I do agree most rap music these days is terrible

No joke, I’m at the gym now listening to rap music and staring at the big tittie girl in front of me in her yoga pants. I love this place!

Did we really need another 'old dude at the gym let me help you' thread?

I still remember back around 1997 or so a certain guy I knew at the gym that was built pretty good and on some stuff. I actually used him as a source a few times and he was a nice guy. He was pretty crazy at the gym. Heard stories of him shooting a steady stream of blood out of his nose while we was doing curls. One day I found a decent sized puddle of blood back by the squat rack. He didn't even clean it up.

Another gym about 10 years later some of the guys that worked there were complaining to me about fools trying to flush syringes down the toilet. They were always having to get the plunger or snake out and open up the toilet.

Yeah, sometimes the gym doesn't have a healthy vive. The one I belong to now does though. All gym aren't like that.

He was just marking his territory pissing blood by the squat rack.

Maybe you should try yoga......or badminton....or something you can view as more wholesome.

In your opinion, you just described what exactly....? A negative environment where people are more concerned about their image? An unhealthy lifestyle?
I'm just confused as this seems preachy preachy for no purpose.

I guess im just a guy that doesn't give a shit what Joe Blow does at the gym.
I'm concerned with my own goals and rewards...that's it. Worrying about everyone else is a sure fire way to turn into a pessimistic weirdo.

And secondly, there's always two ends of the spectrum. And whichever one you're on, the other side shouldn't concern you.
Some work because of the drive for money.
Others work because they love what they're doing.
Who am I to judge either side?

Relax, go lift some weights and thing about yourself.

Imagine being at a gym knowing there are psychos who think like the OP and judge everyone besides themselves

They're fine as long as they stay on the perimeter and silently judge - just means more gains and girls for the rest of us.

We get it. You have never, or will never, use steroids. You date only women (or men) who wear no makeup but do wear ankle-length dresses. You listen to Andy Williams when working out. You engage only in discussions about Biblical verses. You drink water, and never anything else, from stainless steel containers. And you tan only from the rays of the sun. Awesome.

Ha, lost it at Buzz Killington.
