This is the 30+ woman who goes to the gym to get rid of that pesky adipose tissue. She comes sporting full make up, tight clothes, a G-string, and acts like she's above everyone else, while she's secretly wishing that that toned dude over there gives it to her on top of the kitchen sink. They throw the entire gym into turmoil for some reason. It's like, all the men there have never seen a girl, and suddenly, everyone is using the machines right next to, or adjacent to her. It's pathetic
The Psuedo-Arnolds
These are the annoying superficial morons who think their biceps will somehow get them through life. 95% of them have no basic education, and think amino acids make you lost weight and anabolic steroids are a MUST if you're not physically fit BEFORE you start hitting the gym. They'll tan as early as November, wax every weekend, and scream and make loud noises whilst picking up 2 kg dumbbells. What's worse is that they're like ants..they congregate around each other in a pathetic festival of testosterone and bromance. It's distracting, and it's annoying.
The Peasants
These are the extremely thin (even I look like Rikishi compared to them) morons who think more weight = faster muscle gain. They want that chizzled body, and they want it NOW.They put on ridiculous weights that not even people who have been hitting the gym for a year can pick up, do the move completely wrong, and end up hurting themselves in the process instead of benefiting from the exercise. This guy, weighing 54 kilos TOPS wanted to pull down 64 kilos on the back machine. He asked me if I could help him. I wanted to kill him.
The All-Knowing Veterans
These are the guys who want to butt in every chance they get. "You're doing this wrong" "add some weight" "decrease the weight". I don't know if they do this to feel superior or something, but if someone needed their help, they'd ask. There's a coach around for a reason. If the coach notices a person doing something wrong, he'll tell him, we don't need your endless wisdom and unbridled experience to help get us peons on the right track to Mr. Olympia.

Did you just waste 4 years in med school? Did you just waste 4 years studying nutrition and dietetics? Did you just spend 4 years studying nursing? Did you just spend 4 years studying lab medicine? Boy, are you an idiot or what! These people tell you to forget everything you know, and listen to them. Screw everything, you need some creatine, some protein, some BCAAs (they don't even know what that stands for and what they do in your body), and some Arginine, or you're totally wasting your time trying to get some muscles on weightlifting and good eating alone. But dude, I heard, albeit in a clumsy ridiculous university that's number one in the entire fucking region, that creatine might cause some abdominal discomfort and even diarrhea, with some kidney damage in rare cases and promotes water retention. I also hear, albeit in an unknown institution teaching the dumb practice of medicine, that Arginine, promoting nitric oxide release, might give you headaches, make you crash at the end of the workout, and all those pesky things. What about all that? NO DUDE, FORGET THAT SHIT, YOU NEED ALL THOSE TO BE A BEAST. Fuck off.

Hey there bro, what supplements are you taking? I'm taking protein shakes, but that's it. Really bro? How much are you getting it for? Umm, I don't know, it depends..usually around 70$. Woah bro, 70$? I can get you the best brand for 60$! Whenever you need anything, come to me, and I'll hook you up. But see, I don't want anyone to hook me up. I'm not trying to score some weed. I'd rather pay that extra 10$, knowing that the place I'm getting it from is renowned and trustworthy, and not some douche I just met at the gym trying to score some quick bucks from supposed idiots. What the fuck do these people think?
The Cyclops
These are the people who want to check out all the bodies around them to somehow make sure, in their own minds, that their own body is superior. If they sense that your body is somehow better, even if in one or two aspects, they'll hate you. They'll eyeball you till kingdom comes. There are more than a few of those in the gym I'm going to. I mean, I'm thin, I don't have the size, but no one in that gym has my definition. And that's normal, since I practically have no fat in my entire fucking body. Then they start looking, and I don't know if they want to fight me or if they want to hook up with me. Either way, it's extremely uncomfortable, especially since I'm not all that confrontational (surprising, right?).
The Narcissus
These douchebgs spend 90 minutes training, and 80 minutes staring at the mirror, as if their muscles are gonna grow in the span of the 2 minutes they just spent working a specific muscle. Stop look at the mirror. Do it in your bathroom dude. You even notice them looking at the mirror walking from machine to machine, flexing their muscles, as if they didn't JUST FUCKING SEE THEM 2 SECONDS AGO IN THAT OTHER FUCKING MIRROR. Oh my God, they piss me off so much, I just want to break all the mirrors, smack them, and tell them..no no..URGE them to give it a fucking rest.
The reasons listed above, amongst others, are why I stopped going to the gym a few months back. That coupled with the fact that I had a shitload of stuff to do. But mainly the ones I listed. When I can afford it, I'm gonna buy the machines I need and shove them in my room, or something.
HAHA love this. Gyms suck. I would assume they're 10X worse for women and all their drama shit. You don't need to waste money on those memberships though really, basic exersizes will get you everything you want.
I like how guests who don't know me one bit and have no clue about my sarcastic nature and my initiative to create random topics to generate some activity jump in and philosophize. I also like members who've joined this year coming into my topics, completely missing the entire point, telling me I have issues, when clearly they're the one who have issues with spotting sarcasm, humor, and general joking. Stop taking everything at face value and so seriously, maybe then you'll piss me off less, and stop ruining every fucking topic I post.
Dude, the only thing you've invented is bad English. The whole facade you're putting up is ridiculous. "Admins agree with me, because we've got nothing better to do in our lives but talk about your topics over PM in our super-duper awesome 1337 PM conversashinz..BUT I'M NOT NAMING ANYONE!". It's ridiculous, and you're ruining a topic that's meant to spur some activity, have a few laughs, and be done with it. You're stressing so much over nothing, it's excrutiating to see you do it. It's like watching a turtle trying to fuck an elephant. It's just not working. I'll take the moral high-ground and tell some mod to delete your posts, because you're derailing and utterly ruining this topic, and I don't want it to get locked because of some user like you.
Even though I haven't been going to the gym a lot of times as well as living in Sweden (where things could probably be a bit different) I can still relate with every single of those kinds of people! I guess the only way to not have to deal with any of this is to simply exercise alone or with friends only
Meh, I don't really care about them to the point where I'd stop going to the gym. Not anymore, at least. I just go, spend 2 hours doing my routines and leave. I don't even talk to that many people. Some of the newer members who are skinnier than an insect's dong ask me stuff sometimes, but that's pretty much it when it comes to actual communication with the people there.
Well this was rather interesting Thanks Mephy for the fun read

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
There is one hilarious old (50s) guy though. It seems that he is ALWAYS stretching, at least whenever I come across him. At the reception desk, in front of the weights, next to the pulley machines.
It's amazing.
Oh and I don't like people who train in groups because they spend waaayyy too much time with one equipment, taking turns and giggling like little bitches half the time.

So how many days a week do y'all go to the gym? i aim for 4 to 5 days a week.

Well the reasons you mentioned aren't really the only reasons as to why I don't go to the gym that often but it would be for a number of other reasons
Anyways I liked your post and I think it was a great read! To be honest it was probably one of the better topics I have read for the last couple of weeks here.
I wouldn't say incessantly... more like abnormally often.
And I wouldn't consider it physical exercise, I highly doubt that's the reason why my left arm is much stronger than my right arm, even when I'm right-handed. Wait a second...:o
Haha, those certainly are characters of a gym. But don't let them bother you at all. Just go there to do your workout and leave. Just handle business.

I'm planning on going to the gym but I want to put on some weight and get a bit of muscle first. Otherwise I would probably be exhausted after 15 mins and end up wasting money. I've been drinking protein shakes and doing push-ups. I need to install a chin-up bar somewhere so I can work out some other muscles.
