First of all, I need to meet this guy. I could use a good laugh. Secondly, "Why do you still hang with this guy?" Hopefully, it's all in good fun. Otherwise, it would be like hanging out with an embarrassing drunk.
Dude trains extremely hard, willing to help anyone with their training if he sees they are serious, has a "heart of gold" at times, like the owner said, the owner who has thrown him out numerous times, only to call him up and ask him to come back, fearing the guy will kill himself if he doesn't have the outlet of the gym.
Training is his life, but he has a strange personality.
I just came back from the gym. First thing I hear him yell as he exits the locker room, "who the hell is stinking this place up! Must be those fat fucks over there!" The fat fuck is a competing strongman. And to another guy, "you look like a pig, you smell too!"
As we were changing into workout clothes he says, "Man, I haven't eaten properly all weekend, lost 3lbs since friday, haven't slept and my shoulder is killing me. This workout is gonna suck, but at least I don't look as shitty as you... look at that big belly, you weak fuck!" He was talking to me.
I don't take it personally, I just laugh.
BTW, have you guys seen this VICE documentary? Skip to 18:45 to see how the owner treats guys who misbehave in his gym. Kids were selling juice without giving him a percentage of profits.
