Maybe if I'd lightly, yet politely, pushed her old butt out of my way, it would have helped clear her Alzheimer a bit. LOL

I'll have to say that my faves are the ones who pretend to know what they're doing but it's clear that they're completely clueless to the workouts and what they're doing. But be that as it may, they are there wearing their blue jeans and t-shirts (sometimes baggy tank tops) and drinking their protein shake or Powerade/Gatorade.

One day, about a year ago, I was doing seated presses and hitting my delts pretty hard. When I was done, racked the dumbbells, and proceeded to leave the area to hit the lat spread machine, this "2 tons of fun" looking dude was sitting on a bench and tells me, "Keep it up, dude. You'll get there." I looked at him like a jerk and asked, "Get where? What are you talking about? I've been powerlifting for damn near 20 years now. I've been there and beyond now." He looks at me with confusion and asked, "what is powerlifting". I just laughed and said, "Just keep doing whatever it is you're doing, dude, and try not to make conversation about something that you know nothing about."

Tweetthis is the reason that I am glad I have a gym that caters to serious lifters. Everyone understands the rules and if some newb comes in and doesn't, myself or someone else makes it clear- in the appropriate manner of course...

I'm with you on that, Zomb.

I saw this guy at the gym yesterday as I was hitting arms and I couldn't help but imagine Z. Z. Top singing, "Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."....Just not in the gym while you're working out.

From what I was able to gather, he was Armenian, as are dozens of people there during the afternoon, and homeboy looked like he was ready for club hopping rather than pumping iron. There he was on the Hammer Strength seated incline bench press sporting his blue jeans, black long sleeved dress shirt, and pointed toe dress shoes. In the middle of my pushdown sets, I noticed him and thought to myself, "WTF? Am I at Gold's Gym or Saturday Night Fever gym?" HOLY SHIT! Someone really need to educate these members when they sign up.

TweetShit guys I live in a little hick town in VA and guys are in the gym daily with the polo shirts on, jeans and docker shoes. Wearing fcking flip flops while they are working out, please drop a 45 on your foot dumbass. I am dieting now and I know i am getting a little touchy but damn these guys at the gym are getting under my skin. Had an old Dude this morning take my weight off the seated calf while I was supersetting with donkeys. Had 2 45's on there he takes it off puts a 100 on there dose like 4 reps then pulls it off and leaves. WTF
