Things I've Heard In The Gym - January

[dk8594]

There have been a lot of new members at my gym working on their New Year's resolutions this month. Here is a list of the gems I've heard that have caused me to roll my eyes (in no particular order). Feel free to add to it.

1. “There are 30,000 calories in a pound of fat.”
2. “I do battle ropes because I want to be functional.”
3. “I’m trying to lose weight, so I’ll probably take a laxative tonight.”
4. “I just burned a thousand calories on the treadmill.”
5. “Can you take my picture? I’m going to do some curls”
6. “I’m not trying to get big.”
7. “Instead of dieting, I’m just going to go in the sauna”
8. “I do lunges and leg extensions for legs (i.e. nothing else)”
9. “I know he doesn’t look it, but my trainer has a degree in exercise science”
10. “I don’t have a routine. I just listen to my body”

This one was year back but I still remember it.

"With bicep curls, if you completely fatigue the bicep, the triceps will actually start to push"

I refuse to take my phone into the gym, it's a pet peeve of mine to see people screwing around with their phones instead of training. Yet there are days I wish I had it so I could post up pictures of some of these fools just doing who knows what on a piece of equipment. Coming from NY to California It appears more so that these people out here always feel the need to try and reinvent the proper use and function of a machine. I always have to stop and stare for a moment while I visualise the injury they are about to endure. It's either a cringe or a laugh my ass off moment.

I am usually a pretty easy going guy. The only one that almost pushed me over the edge was the guy who asked me to take his pic. I didn't do a very good job hiding my disgust when I told him no.

Damn if I heard half this shit at the gym I'd probably have to leave and join a different gym. Those are things I'd expect to hear at Golds or Planet Fitness or possibly even Snap or Anytime Fitness. Fuk those places are crawling with ghey fuks.

Heard this one the other day, “ I only lift heavy once a month because I have all the size I need right now, I’m just trying to get shredded now with more reps and volume at lighter weights”. Same guy says he trains chest on Wednesday and shoulders on Thursday. Wtf! Damn young bodybuilders.
