funny gym observations, feel free to add to the list

[Zartan]

I got the olympic bar and my kettlebells in my basement, I don't feel the need to go to the gym anymore.

Threads like this remind me of how thankful I am for that.

There was a guy in the gym last night. He was very outta shape, and overwiehgt, doing some dumbbell curls in front of the mirror (nothing wrong with that i guess). He had cut the sleeves off his shirt. His shirt said 'Fitness' on it. Not sure if he meant to be ironic, hah.

I love the skinny, middle aged guys with tribal arm band tattoos and muscle shirts. Note: I am a middle aged (44), probably not the biggest gunz in the world, but at least I'm not drawing attention to the fact!

I just became an RKC in october, and picked up a bunch of stuff ill be reviewing soon for the site (of course it will be in the 'good' section). If you guys have any products of your own you'd like the site to review, send me an email, and if it fits the site, ill pick it up and review it.

as for something funny, this is probably the best video someone submitted to the site:

What muscle does this work? | Tales From The Gym

This is priceless. I have to admit that is the most functional thing I've seen anyone of the "lost" do in the gym, props to his "functional training" or "fuc*tional training.

This morning I had a guy push past my client and me and proceed to do curls on the DL platform. in the words of Napolean Dynomite "GOSH............. IDIOT!"

I need to add like a quick 'what i see nowl' section where people can rant at stupid stuff they just looked at stuff like you just said. maybe that would be a good twitter tie in.

I have this innate feeling my tweets would be fairly humorous.

Oh ya this afternoon Idiot was doing curls in the squat rack. And he was looking at me like I was the dumbass.

I thought to myself these two guys should be workout buddies.

Is there a magazine where these idiots get this stuff and

and why do they spread egocentric looks at everyone else???

I may freakout at some point or I'll do crunches on the decline bench inside the smith machine.

EJM: Good one and thanks for the warm welcome.

Ironically, this past Halloween I went out as,… YOU…. Strange costume actually,….
It had a Shake Weight connected to it’s lower regions and the head was so inflated it couldn’t fit thru the door.
