Which Gym persona are you?

[Jilly]

I got to thinking as I was running on the ole elliptical machine this morning and glancing around at the diversity of people, what gym persona would the people of Chiefs Planet be?

For instance, This guy:

Spandex shorts (black), wife beater (tucked in), Colorful bandana on his head, Oakley's on top of the bandana, shaved arms, black socks and tennies.

or this girl:

apparently at 5:30am, gets up with all of her make up on and her hair done, gets to gym greets her friend, chats in the middle of the machines, upon my leaving at 7am...she is still in the same place.

can you add others??? Do you fit one of these descriptions??

That's gotta be BIG_DADDY. Except he doesn't wear spandex shorts, he wears the USA Flag zubaz style pants.

How about the guy who likes to GRUNT like he is lifting a 1000 lbs for each and every rep when in reality he is still on the "little girls" settings? I also see all the powerlifter wannabes that put way too much weight on the bar/rack and then swing or heave the weight up in any manor possible so they can say they lifted it (curls are the usual suspect...put your back into it!).

I'd be the guy drinking at the bar next door.

at 5:30 AM ROFL when 3rd shift let's out.

[Zebedee DuBois]

[Tribal Warfare]

I'm the guy who's drenched in sweat, and yelling like a madman during a workout

[Duck Dog]

Do people still work out? I thought that fad died with the 80's.

those ppl need to die.

[The Franchise]

I'd be the guy that works out on a smith machine at my brother's house because I hate all of those people you just listed.

[Tribal Warfare]

My fav "persona" is the supplement babies, you know the guys who workout once a month, but are ripped like their Mr. Olympia. They usually prance around doing on set then wait 10 minutes talking to their buddies, checking if their oil is low in their car, and very meticulous that they don't break the wide stanc, WWE strut. Then when all that is accomplished within those 10 minutes between sets that's when they decide to do another

Actually, we did that quite a bit in high school. Helped our form on tackling.

Dude, I would say you should have had a better coach. I'm not the ultimate expert but the chances of you hurting yourself doing that is more likely than getting much benefits from it. Just my opinion.

[HonestChieffan]

People who go to gyms scare me. Why dont they go do some work and be productive. Its free, it works, and you dont have to pay some place for a years membership so you can sweat or at least act like you are gonna sweat.

bunch of dilwads who go to those places anyway.

[BigVE]

I finally just got my home gym "furnished" so now we dont have to bother going to the gym. It's kind of nice being able to workout in your undies if you choose to. :)

[Nzoner]

I don't even know wtf 5:30 a.m. looks like unless it's thru drunk eyes.

[BigVE]

He he...how about THIS? http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Quirks/2007/08/29/grandma_65_bench_presses_1155_pounds/5795/

[Demonpenz]

I hate the fraternaty bench and bicept 10 minute workout. I ususally hit the legs for 30 minutes or an hour when I go to the gym.

[Valiant]

Trust me I see all these types since I go to 24 hour... I work out 4-6 days a week so I am sure I fall in somewhere..

The milfs who come and talk the entire time there to the meatheads who are usually on the bench I need.. They love to wear skin tight clothes that show you everything.. They generally only talk to the meatheads(bouncers, wanna be muscle contestants)

The meatheads, who stand around and tell everybody how to lift heavy weight properly and scream.. Also these are the guys that usually are lifting a weight they cannot control and always slam them on the ground...

The new breed of UnderArmor Rump Rangers, most of these people go to the gym to be seen.. Talking to everybody and never really doing anything.. There can be a crossover with this group and meatheads..

The guys who wear jeanshorts and either lift to much weight for thier body or stay on the machines the entire time...

The aerobics or treadmill women, i love them..

More crossovers, the meatheads with chicken legs..

The trainers who have cottage cheese on their legs or are less fit then the person they are training..

---------------

My personal experience, is this little guy I would say 5'7" 155 lbs.. This guy thinks he is a bad ass.. Goes around talking to everybody, gives advice, just annoying as ****.. Well this idiot will get on machines and grunt like he is lifting a ton.. The guy does throw around some weight for his size but usually he is using his back or legs when he is working out his arms.. Hell on the lat pulldowns he had 250lbs on with a 45lb plate on the side and had me help him pull it down.. The ****er could only get it maybe an inch.. If you can't to the thing right drop down weight..

---

Me, I am the guy that comes in does either my arms or chest/back workout for an hour and leaves.. I will talk for a bit (less then five minutes total if I see a friend there) unless I am working out with them..I am lazy and never do abs, also my legs don't need a workout since I run/bike and play sports 2-3 days a week..

[macdawg]

You can find a reason to make fun of anyone at the gym, they look like a pussy or a slacker, are self-absorbed staring at the mirror, excessive grunting, talk too much, chicken legs with huge arms guy doing a 2 hour arm workout, the only one that really frustrates me is people who clearly do not work hard at the gym, I'd rather be surrounded by screaming meatheads anyday.....

Thats why I really don't give a crap what anyone thinks and I wouldn't be surprised if people thought me & some of the guys I go to the gym with are weird, I'm there to workout and if I grunt on my last set and it bothers someone then tough. I do a lot of lifts people probably think are weird too like front squats, power cleans, deadlifts, and always push myself.

"I don't even know wtf 5:30 a.m. looks like unless it's thru drunk eyes."

same here unfortunately

there is no replacement for weight training for sheer strength, it also makes your bones & joints healthier when done right....

My gym is FULL of those people!! It doesn't matter what time of day either!!!!!

[kcxiv]

Baggy Mesh shorts, and baggy white Tshirt.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I am the guy who has his mp3 player in his ears and doesn't talk to anyone, because I'm not there to socialize or pull ass, I'm there to lift some f*cking weight.

I f*cking hate people who go to the gym or the library to talk, STFU, and use the building for what it was intended.

[ChiefaRoo]

My fav. type are the two huge meatheads in their multi-colored "Crunch" string t-shirts and those parachute looking pants. Their obviously on the juice, they walk around with one of those gallon milk jugs filled with some kind of gross looking liquid and they have those tiger paw grips around their wrists all the time. There is another variant of these two guys that includes a girl. She's usually kinda've skanky hot looking and follows the two guys around like a puppy. They constantly give her advice on her forms and are always telling each other to "c'mon! push it!"

I've been a member of 6 gyms in three states and every gym had a set of these meathead twins.

My fav's. The over 30 MILFS working on the treadmills and in the body pump classes. YESSIR!!

Those meathead twins are stalking you.

[Eleazar]

What about the guy who stands in front of the mirror flexing?

Or the guy sitting on the thing you want to use talking on his phone. There should be a kiln in the corner constantly cranked up to its highest setting, and if a cellphone is seen it's tossed in.


But the worst, at my workplace anyway, is gratuitous nudity guy. Now, in a locker room occasionally you expect to round a corner and see something you don't want to see. I mean the people who get out of the shower, prance stark naked over to where the towels are near the front door, strut all the way back and give themselves a 15 minute NASA-like inspection for the smallest stray drop of water. Or engage in conversation totally nude with another gratuitous nudity offendor. There should be Blackwater mercenaries patrolling the place for people like this to shoot their gnads off with a high-powered rifle.

[a1na2]

shorts and oversized t-shirt.

Treadmill, light weights for 20-30 minutes and then go home take two aspirin and feel like I just built the Empire State Building single handed.

And just like every other guy there watches the ladies twins jiggle when they do the orbital.

Those guys should be banned from the gym. In my gym it's always two old guys. They just stand there nude as hell yapping about the stock market.

Does your mom object to you bringing them to her basement?

[ChiefaRoo]

Does your mom object to you bringing them to her basement?

Skip, that would be funny if it were true but you must understand that I live in a kick ass bachelor pad. Just for the record. If I did live at home in the basement I'd still pull 'em.

[tk13]

My favorite is definitely the dude who flexes in the mirror hardcore. I mean, everybody looks in the mirror from time to time, that's okay... but that one guy who spends 10 minutes flexing and examining every muscle in his body, front, back, lifts his shirt up and looks at his abs, everything. You get the feeling if human cloning ever becomes reality, he would move to Massachusetts and marry himself.

[KC Jones]

How about the guy who likes to GRUNT like he is lifting a 1000 lbs for each and every rep when in reality he is still on the "little girls" settings?

It depends... some people just grunt on everything, but if it's some skinny guy then for him the 'little girl' setting is probably just as hard of work as the 1,000 lbs is for the meat head. In that case it doesn't bother me at all.

I'm the guy that really hopes the guy on that other machine realizes I'm staring at the TV behind him between reps and not at him.

[ChiefaRoo]

I also dislike the guys who shave in the sauna eventhough there is a sign that says No Personal Grooming in the Sauna! It's disgusting.

There was an older guy at the Y who would put a towel on the carpet and proceed to do stretching and the like totally nude in front of everyone.I finally had enough of it and decided to put a workout room in my home the day he thought he'd lay on his back and do leg lifts etc. including rolling up with his legs and feet back and past his head in a yoga like position.

Disgusting bastard.

[SCTrojan]

I'm a treadmill / elliptical guy as I hate the pounding of running on pavement outside. I work in a little weight lifting, but nothing too crazy.

My least favorite gym dude is the guy who puts his towel / jacket / water bottle on or near some piece of equipment, then goes off somewhere else to do another exercise and glares at you when he returns for having the audacity to use said piece of equipment in his absence.

I'm the guy that goes to the gym at midnight so I don't have to put up with all the people.

No hot chicks to side track my mind, very peaceful late at night.

Hair not done? ROFL

If you have to 'do' your hair, you need a hair cut.

[Jilly]

I have issues with the old men that are there early in the morning, taking up a treadmill, usually wearing a button down short sleeve shirt, tucked into slacks with a belt and a mug of coffee, walking slower than they would if they were in the grocery store at 5pm when everyone gets off work even though he's freaking retired and can go whenever the hell he wants!!!

[Jilly]

This morning I encountered a new type:

middle aged, just figured out he's gay man. Died yellow blonde hair, dark rimmed glasses, overweight, black shorts up his arse, green sleeveless tank top. You will find said gentleman going at a crawling pace on the elliptical for 10 minutes until he moves to the free weights....there....comedy ensues.

And they stay on the thing for like 2 hours, going at like 2.5 mph. What I really hate is when al old guy goes to a station, does 3 reps, and then sits on it recovering for 15-20 minutes afterward.

[Demonpenz]

there is a gym in st joe that is 24 hours has freeweights only pretty much. It was my favorite when I played football. It was hardhat guys only. Get in get the work done and leave. I am thinking about getting 24 hour fitness membership just to look at some mooseknuckle though

[Demonpenz]

I also like to use the mirrors effectively sometimes I would be in the quad machine and use a nice mirror and my nice lucky mess shorts to a quick pocket pool session going. It works better if you go commando
