Types of Guys At The Gym

[MonkeyBoy]

When I see someone w/o music, I automatically think they are a) deep b) intelligent or some combination of both.

I don't think anyone is intelligent with or without music but sitting on a bench for 15 min playing with his/her phone in the gym

This thread is getting funny to me

I can't be the only one who goes to a gym where fuckers are standing around talking about their damn preworkout. Ain't really doin ya much good, is it? Might make bullshit come out of your mouth faster...

Guys who lift weights with out taking selfies or asking someone to film them lifting are my kind of people. PUSSIFICATION OF THE GYM WORLD. Hey film me bro need some likes On my social media.

All the guys in the gym are always super nice and friendly to me, but they always say the same exact thing. I'll be lifting what, in their eyes, is a huge amount of weight (say 315 on the incline), and they'll say, "when are you gonna put some weight on the bar???" Or they'll walk up and shake their head and say, "man, your looking huge!" Or, "I'm trying to look like you!" Often times some of these guys are shredded and have pussy-killing physiques that, in terms of what the average woman would find attractive, completely blow my bloated ass out of the water. I usually have nothing at all to say to the guys. Just smile, laugh, and nod my head. I appreciate the positive energy they give me, I just don't really have a response to it. Lol.

These are pretty funny and remind me of things I don't miss here in Japan.

What I do have is:
- Yakuza of varying degrees of "yakuzaness". Some come in with girlfriends who are in the "adult" business. Usually strolling naked in the locker room. They seem to enjoy being naked.
- Yakuza bosses who make their young trainers train with them for entertainment and then spend the rest of their time in their phones talking "business" on the gym floor.
- Sad middle-aged guys who hire only female trainer and just talk. I guess it's cheaper than a hostess club in Shinjuku or Ginza.
- Annoying shadow-boxer guy who is about my age and when not punching the air he is moving weight centimetres and thinking he is strong. Nicknamed blue mouth piece guy by my wife.
- People who stare at my wife, until they realize she is my wife. She gets a lot of attention but is well -know for her glare, a powerful tool for Japaneses women.
- A love hotel chain owner who is in good shape and usually quite lean. And obviously on amphetamines. Makes horrible faces while getting massaged by his trainer with a roller. We call him "twitchy"
- Random young girls who have no idea what they are doing, setting up on the floor and stretching for an hour while looking at their phones / chatting.
- Young Sumo who don't know how to work out with weights, but look fascinating in basketball t-shirts and a chonmage hairstyle.
- Ex-athletes who are out of shape but demand attention, hiring 3 trainers at a time and having someone film their pathetic grunty workouts.
- Young women in the "hostess" business who have no idea what they are doing, but have interesting finger-shaped bruises on their legs (?) Their male trainers seem enthralled.
- We had a guy who came in with dress slacks and shoes. Used to do those 5cm lockout bench presses. He got trapped with 275 once. I didn't help him.
- Japanese actors and actresses, who surprisingly get no attention in the gym, I guess as it's known they are there and people mind their business; though I made friends with one.
- One very famous actor who will watch me like I am a living YouTube video and copy my exercises as if I wasn't right in front of him.

A guy in my gym won’t talk to anybody! Walks around like he’s Zeus. U could slide a bowling ball between his arms ribs cause holds his arms away from his body and puffs his chest out like he’s the biggest guy ever. He moves and turns in slow motion just so he can always stay puffed up. He is definitely sculpted up top then u look at his legs and realize all his time is spent on upper body cause his legs don’t match his upper body at all. Probably the skinniest, pussiest legs I’ve ever seen anywhere. I just wanna tell him one time that he can lose the whole bad ass image cause one look at his baby legs ruin the whole thing!

 

[captain caveman 1234]

then there’s the guy that’s 28, overweight, health problems, don’t work, lives with his mom and comes in the gym just to tell u how bad his day is going, how bad his health is, how bad his car is running, how mean his mom is. I told him he can’t talk to me anymore unless he tells me something positive and he has to lift while he’s telling me. He also takes a shit Everytime he’s there and there’s always a bunch of hair in the toilet and on the lid of the toilet! I mean wtf man

 

[chingaling]

You have that guy too ? The one who walks in the gym and immediately Beelines to the shitter and blows it up ? Doesn’t anyone shit at home anymore before heading off to the gym ?

First thing in the morning at the gym...this guy ...sorry.

 

[USMuscle9403]

There's this guy at ours. Very hard worker. Mid 40s, great shape, maybe on a little something. Fast and intense... Like my fap sessions.

Anyway... Probably one of my favorite guys there. Very little talk, except to me, we seem to have a lot of mutual respect for each other. No bullshit, just sweat and the logbook. Honestly one of the very few guys I'd want to be my training partner.

Never fails, though... Completely blows the shitter @ 5am. Every morning.

 

[Scuncknuts]

Guys that bring a bag a drink and all kindov shit from machine to machine like they are moving in and they walk away like no one can go on that machine since basically they live there now, only so they can look at their phone.

I never take my phone with me to lift and I never bring music and I probably saved days in time from that and probably get a better workout anyways

This shit right here...

And I used to listen to music while training, but honestly I feel I get better much focus without.

 

[PMULS]

wtf with pants right now????

cant even find sweat pants with open legs!!!!
mens jeans with stretchy stuff!!!! wtf
seriously there are no more normal pants!
i feel like fucking peter pan....

I can't stand sweatpants with the open bottom. Really can't believe people prefer those over ones that have a bit of elastic right at the bottom to keep them from flopping around a chimpanzee penis.

When I see someone w/o music, I automatically think they are a) deep b) intelligent or some combination of both.

Do all of you not go to gyms that blast absolutely garbage music in Spanish? It's Guantanamo bay for my eardrums.

I couldn’t tell you what kind of music is playing. I’m on my own planet when I’m lifting weights.

It's funny you say that, as I haven't really noted the reality that my gym in Tokyo, Japan plays only American/English pop. Not Taylor Swift pop fortunately, more a mix like Korn, Muse, The Killers, NIN, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith...etc...

I always have my own music anyway. Rammstein my favorite for tuning things out.

 

[Elvia1023]

I pretty much just keep to myself in the gym. I train alone 99% of the time. I have never had my phone with me when training. Every few months I may get updated pics done so I bring it in my bag and get them taken post workout. I don't listen to music in the gym as I have issues with tinnitus so I just listen to whatever they have playing. My current gym plays great music that helps get me going. I put all my weights away. I am nice but the only time I chat is if a mate is there but not much at all. I suppose I can look unapproachable at times (never a bad thing in the gym) because I wear hoodies and I train hard and I am usually amped up on preworkout Although if anyone approaches me I am always nice and definitely not one of those guys who thinks they are so hardcore no one should talk to them in the gym

You tend to get the same type of people in most gyms. Usually at least 1 weird old man who spends more time in the locker room than the gym itself and his naked 90% of the time. The groups of idiots taking 1 machine and using it as a social gathering. People who don't have a clue and will lift a tiny weight about 100 times whilst looking at their phone or even better reading a book. Countless people on their phones for 5 mins in between their half arsed sets. The fat bloke who thinks he is huge hardcore who will shout on every rep and just be annoyingly loud the entire time he is there. The 160 pound IG physique guy who will constantly look at himself in the mirror and pose (lift his top up) between every single set. The IG girls taking pics tilted to the side so their waist looks small and their arse looks curvy and if it doesn't they will just photoshop the pics anyway to make sure it does. The most common just the people with no intensity who will sit there doing set after set of light weight and never training hard and spending 20+ mins doing countless sets even on the most basic machines.

He did miss the screamers, dudes that sound like they´re getting ass raped during a set and girls that sound like they´re filming a porno, the swingers, dudes that swing the weight up and have no control of it when lowering in the eccentric phase, the plate smashers, dudes that drop the weight when using machines to make a noise during every rep to let you know they´re using half the stack, the "woo-hoo" boys, dudes that shout out the aforementioned sound at the end of a set like they just broke a world record, the skunks, motherfuckers that think personal hygiene does not pertain to them...

Jesus the screamer that bangs the weights on the floor piss me the f**k off so badly. I have a fat ass in my gym that thinks his Mr.O that does that all the time.and the other idiot that screams like a porn bitch when he does sets.im like wtf is all that screaming doing for you other than look like an idiot

I am transitioning to another gym (all old red nautilus plate loaded stuff, awesome), but this one guy, fat but does have some muscle underneath, was in there the other morning with his ear buds in doing Pushdowns. I don't think he could hear himself, but before he started his set, he'd say, "I'm a beast... I'M A BEAST!" he'd finish a set, rest, say it again, then do another set. I had to move because I was about to start laughing. He's also one who watches others more than anything else. I was brought up to think it was impolite to stare at people, hell... That's all some people seem to do. I'll be on the other side of the gym, look up and he'll be looking dead at me. He's not the only one, either. I mean... Can I fuckin help you?
