those short moments in between sets at the gym

[zippo]

(warning:this thread is only for the trendy board members, you know who you are)

youre on your muscle machine, doing your thing, as if youve been doing it all your life, sitting on it the other way around, in the end,who knows, but youre making the weight go up and down so you must be doing something right. well thats how i feel abuot it anyway. and then you look around, and you think alright, everybodys got their tough serious face on, theres no laughing inside a gym, gotta be serious, maybe do the strong exhale thing in the second set, make it look proffesional, noeones there to fuck around. heeeey, yeeea, im here youre here, were both excercising, you can count on me, im serious and sweating just like you are, ive got my towel, my water bottle and i know where the start button on the treadmill is

but then, youve finished your first set, and youve gotta just sit there, youve stopped and youre resting, cuz, youre tired right, or at least youve gotta look it cuz then youre just fuckin around, youre not being serious and youre at a gym whats the matter with you. so youre tired and just finished yoru first set...what is that? what is that shit people do then? its like they have secret rules: you have to leave your arms hanging from whatever machine it is youre on, open your mouth a little while breathing and lightly panting, and take turns between hanging your head down looking at the ground without moving it and then looking at the person next to you with a blank, secure look on your face like"mmmhmm thats right were at a gym and were all serious about it"

oh the gym, the gym

[marsdaddy]

Out of your element, here. I go get a drink of water between sets.

[100% ILL]

sounds just a little too self-conscious, perhaps you should invest in an in-home system.

[zippo]

are you kidding me few things crack me up as much as the shit that goes thruogh my head during certain moments, observing the people at the gym is one of those

[abcdefz]

....you don't exercise for the exercise, do you?

[BionicEye]

you're awesome, Z

Well, if you really think about it, the gym is designed for the Ego to either be boosted or smashed to a pulp. I mean they put mirrors up everywhere so people can "check their form" but most people just use it as an opprotunity to do flex poses while pretending to do lateral raises or check themselves out from the side while doing curls, usually with a weight that's too heavy for them. So if you're already pretty developed all you have to do is blend in and as you said find your "in between sets look". But take the guy whose like ten years over weight or the guy who should've started lifting fifteen years ago and can't come close to even pressing his own body weight. those are the ones who just look awkward to me. The gym certainly is a little community unto itself. I still crack jokes though. Lifes not That serious

[zippo]

....you don't exercise for the exercise, do you?

ofcourse i do you chickenwrap, while im doing all that thinking im doing stuff like the human robot machine, the one where you sit in upright, put your elbows on the thing in front of you and bend your arms forward and back? everytime my friend gets on that one i have to think of bad things and death to control my laughing, anyeone whos using that shit looks like a human/machine mutation that walks with metal body parts,moving yourself around with your metal arms haha

this one

id like to thank everybody who participated in this thread, good times, im out now

[synch]

I used to go with friends and between sets make fun of the person at the machine. Either that or make fun of the other people together. There are some freaky weirdo's in gym's sometimes!

There was this one guy that reminded me of patrick bateman (american psycho). He had the exact same look when he was training and he always looked at himself in the mirror. He looked like he was turning himself on BIG TIME!

Me and my friends brought some cd's to the place (cdr's) so every time we got there there our music would be playing so that was just perfect.

Good times.

[abcdefz]

Rrrrrrrrrrr.

This kind of screwing around is part of why I don't like going to a gym. It's like the kids two rows behind you who are talking through a movie and checking their cell phones and stuff. It's like: why are you even here?

[fucktopgirl]

last winter ,i did go to the gym in my town ,its a very small gym!ANd i did not last long in there,,really not my element!People shure take themselves too seriously while pumping their muscle,looking their faces in the mirror,what ugly face they make too!.It seem that more noise their make when they pumping , more its is better !EVerybody got that attitude that their are fit and onn top :you see the guy/girl running and is on the verge of inconcience,,but still run,,cuz the pride shit thing.Its a self conscious atmosphere that really disguste me,,,

But its kinda scary and fucking hilarious!I dont go their no more,i prefer to walk,bike or hike the mountain!!At least i dont need to put up with all thoses freaks!

We worked out though, it's just that we weren't all self torture about it.

Sorry :(

[mp-seventythree]

In between sets you're supposed to check out the ladies in the gym. It's the rules.

[abcdefz]

Sorry :(


If you have fun to watch what other people are doing, let alone make fun of them, you're in the wrong place.

What to you think a gym is: a message board!?

[synch]

:(

In my defence it was a student gym. And besides, some people there just ask for it.

Oh and it's not like we pointed and laughed, we were discrete about our making-fun-of-ness.

:(

[insertnamehere]

i feel kinda dorky going into the student gym. like, theres a big heavy huge free weight room and then theres like, a machine type room. and usually i go there and run a mile then go to the machine room just to do back extensions and leave. i feel bad that i dont make rounds on all the machines.

[yeahwho]

I like to sport gym wood....so you know what I'm thinking about.

Reminds me of the Jackass episode where Johnny Knowxville went to the gym with a dildo in his pants

[marsdaddy]

i have nothing witty or interesting to sayHasn't stopped you yet. :o


Yes, we did gawk at the gym -- in college. Now, it's a place to workout.

[p-branez]

i used to be scared of the gym for the same reasons.

everyone in there already has their routine down, and are looking all serious and tough, and then there's the people that stick out like a sore thumb.

but they're not really all bad. i work out in the weight room everyday after school now and it's actually really good.

[Loppfessor]

In between sets I drink water, stretch and look for hot girls in skimpy outfits. It aint that complicated zippo, you're thinkin way too much bout it.

[abcdefz]

Hasn't stopped you yet. :o







I knew I was leaving myself open. I don't know whether to be appalled that no one else took the easy shot earlier, or admire their restraint.

[ms.peachy]

My apartment building has a gym for the residents. It's just small, but it's not bad and it's got a steam room and suana, which is the only reason I put myself through that exercise crap in the first place really. I mean I don't really go down there now as I'm pregged up and all, but before when I did, it was really the best way to get to meet my neighbours.

I don't think I'd want to see my neighbours in leotards :(

i think i have a thing for psychos

[zippo]

do anything but limit me on my thinking




ps-i get a feeling some of you think i was asking for advice when im just transmitting the information in my neurons onto this godforbidden place for shits and giggles

[synch]

And I'm pretty sure they don't want to see you in leotards either. :D
Oh my no.

How come if you are a weightlifer or wrestler that is suddenly a good look? Is it about moving heavy things? Although come to think of it if construction workers would wear them you'd at least be spared the butt crack.

k then just try not to share so much in the future... ;)

[zippo]

k then just try not to share so much in the future... ;)

um

why

[synch]

It's never a good look, but I think you've got a point with the construction workers. Just say no to crack!
Unless they ride up or something. Ewww.

Maybe jeans and a leotard. Just to be safe from crack.

and then theres those times when youre doing your stuff relatively close in front of a mirror and some huge gorilla with these weights that look like movie props comes along and places himself blocking your view to the mirror for a bit, and when he finishes and leaves, and you turn to look at the weight youre lifting it suddenly looks so cute and meaningless

Yeah that shit sucks or when you're working on a machine or at a station and a dude who is like 3x bigger is like "Hey bro, how many sets you got left? Can I work in with ya?" so in between his and my sets we have to add and remove like 300lbs of weight. Then I wind up dropping a plate on my foot and I cry....okay that hasn't happend yet, but I'm scared it will.

[The Notorious LOL]

weight lifting...hahaha

[vanillgorilla]

well around hear the gym is a social thing, theres always someone there you know, lots of people talk. I personally dont like to go to the public gym, I just dont get as much done there as I do by myself. When Im by myself I can get into "the zone", and do all the wierd faces I want cuz nobody can see. The gym around hear people are always just running and talking. When I used to work out on the bball team people always fucked around with you while you were doing shit....used to piss me the hell off. I guess I just like to work out privatly.

HAHA i dont think youve ever made me laugh this much, but its cuz its so true

[zippo]

another thing, Pilates, i just couldnt do it. we went in once to the classes they offer with my friend and i had to be strong to control my laughter,strong for myself and strong for my dedicated pilates teammates, not have people think were fooling around, cuz you know, the gym is serious

[beastieangel01]

....you don't exercise for the exercise, do you?

yeah my thoughts as well.

I was going to say "who the heck thinks of these things?"

But by this thread existing, it was an easy answer. Just work out and enjoy it women :p
