There's this guy at my gym that was doing leg presses with 22 45lb plates, on each side. I can do maybe 6 on each. 7 on a good day.
fucking monster. He reminds me of Coltrane from Gears of War.

I haven't seen much out of the ordinary at the gym I go to now, but I used to be a member at the Y and there were definitely some screamer fellas. And then all the jr-high/high school kids that would just go stand near the equipment and talk macho with each other, holding shit up, while they all seemed to weigh about 100 pounds each.

I never understand how you guys "hear" anything. I put on my headphones and blast some metal or dubstep and get busy working.
That being said, my current gym has basically all of the standard same characters. Seems the "naked old dudes in the locker room" are just as interchangeable as the standard meatheads.
One bonus about my new gym. I frequently see this suuuuper sexy girl from that show "the real world" doing cardio in the morning. Maybe I should start making those crazy workout grunts of scream HIT IT HARD OR GO HOME so she'll notice me?
- yes. do that. it's sheer magnetism for the female species.Gucci

Kona - you owe it to this thread and any new people here to repost that great story about what you "overheard" while pretending that you were still listening to your ipod when the battery died... Classic awesomeness!

every morning at 5am i'm at the gym with my headphones on and it's the same 30-something, trying too hard to look cool in his under armour shorts, long sleeve tshirts and baseball cap. he's always like "YO BRO WHAT DO YOU GOT TODAY!? I GOT CHEST AND BI'S BRO!" which is pretty much what he lifts every day. i've never seen the dude on any piece of cardio equipment for more than 20 minutes yet walks around like he was one of the extras in the 300 movie. he does the typical douchebag nod to everyone and is like "HIT IT HARD BRO... GO BIG OR GO HOME RIGHT!?" and then randomly will grab a 45lb plate, spin it once in his hands and then re-rack it.
wait a minute. jesus god. i've just described myself somehow by mistake. OH GOD NO I'M THAT GUY OH JESUS.... *runs off crying paying special attention to watch himself in windows and mirrors as i run past them to make sure i have good form and look good* OH WHAT THE FUCK I'M DOING IT AGAIN AHHHHHHHHhhhh....

I used to be the loud mouth at the gym; but now I'm old and weathered and have to sit back and watch 22 year olds out-lift me on a daily basis.

I hate the guys who sit around and don't do anything, don't even break a sweat. They think they'll get in shape by osmosis. Meanwhile, I'm busting my ass and sweating up a storm and I get looked weirdly by THEM!

I just recalled another couple of gems.
One guy that scream/swears. He lifts weight that's WAY too heavy for his body type. I mean... dude should really focus on cardio and getting rid of the 5 spare tires around his waist, but I suppose trying hang onto the glory days works for him. Anyhoo, when he's exerting himself he'll say something like "COCKSUCKER" or "MOTHER... {uhhhh-huuuh} ... FUUUUCK" or some such shit like that. It's terribly distracting.
The other guy moans like he's getting head. At the top of a rep he gives out an ever-so-gentle sigh that makes you cringe.

I work out at a YMCA. There's a resident who wanders around the weight room and talks to people. He looks like a rat that has drowned in palm oil. I'm usually able to dodge him but sometimes I'm not so lucky.

Some 50 year old guy wearing short-shorts up to his ass with a keg style stomach, sweating profusely all over all the gym equipment.

haha I do a lot more conditoning hikes out in the mountains than going to the gym but when I do it's always an experience.
1) Oldish super-tan, super-ripped, gym rat/trainer. I like to do the indoor cycling classes so I can sit in the back row and watch ass the whole time (it's like 8: girl to guy ratio!), cheap thrill. But this guy teaches some of the classes and all he plays are 90's power anthems and says things like 'get aggressive!' I don't think I've ever gone to the gym and not seen this guy there.
2) Mid 40's ex-cheerleader: This girl pops into the cycling class every time for only about 20 minutes, comes in 15 min after it starts, says hi to everyone, rides for 20 minutes, makes a big exit.Shes 5 foot even with big boobs... LOVES all the attention. Whore.
3) The Old Guy Crew, I think these guys just stay in the locker room the whole time. I honestly never see them in the gym. But every time I go to the locker room 50% of the guys in there are at least 60 years old and walking around buck naked. I don't know what the hell they do besides show off their untrimmed cockball manes. Maybe they're just closet molesters and they like the free peepshow?
Of course there is a heavy dose of standard meatheads too, but those guys are like strip club announcers, they're the exact same from place to place, completely interchangeable.

At my gym there's some women, but its mostly meat head faggots. And a lot of those italian queers with their hair blown back.
