LOL at all of you going to Commercial Gyms--Mullet season is nearly here!

[SSGGLASS]

One more week! And they will flood your lifting platforms--doing curls in the power rack, asking you "questions" every two seconds about what you're doing, the gym will reek of Axe body spray and they will flash their brilliant Underarmor matching uniforms. And your ears shall burn when they ask you:

- "So hey, uhh, what muscle does THAT work?"

-" How many more sets you got on THAT?"

-"Yeah, i am really feeling the burn when i do THAT!"

-"Hey what supplements do YOU take?"

-"Ever hear of (inset product X, most likely the newest thing on the cover of MUSCLEMAG)? What do you think of it?"

Please add your favorite mullet phrases

I know some of you are reading this and thinking "wait a minute! I say that all the time!" Yes my friend, you may be a mullet.

Actual quote from last January,made directly to me, "Dude, have you heard about those German kettleBALLS?" I said "NO" to avoid the misery.

What about "Hey bud do you mind spotting me?". Bench press of course.......

I like to look at the bright side of January and think of the number of newbies in the gym who will ask, "How can I get as pretty as you?"

January is the best month to get new clients if you put out a vibe of humility, courtesy, and sense of welcome...yes, even to mullets.

"I train for functional strength" (while doing curls on a bosu ball)

"I want to train my core"

"Today I'll "do my arms" and tomorrow i'll "do my legs".

"I'm going to do 4 sets of 15"

I actually had a "personal trainer" say these two gems in my direction: "He thinks he can GET FIT by deadlifting" and (speaking to someone paying lots of money) "deadlifting is good but it is more important to have a strong wrist".

not just the new mullets. was just finishing my 12th set of deadlifts (doing the bear at the moment) and one of the curl and bench brigade of the three years experience asked me the other day, "so which muscle does that work" as i'm dripping sweat all over the floor, gasping for breath and trying not to puke.

That is an awesome attitude. It will also put money in your bank account to boot.

Poor sad gym people. If only they would spend their time bending nails and tearing cards. The days they are not in the gym they probably jog. Maybe some of them will find kettlebells, but they will probably end up doing something like GS.

Really people. I am glad that you have all become so enlightened and filled with the TRUTH. But at the very least you could respect the fact that these people are making an effort to try and change something about their lives. Maybe it is not "party approved" but for a lot of them taking that first step and getting into the gym is a big step. Maybe a bit of encouragment would be in order.
