The most rediculous thing I saw/happend at the gym was... (Page 3)

 At my gym we have "the Preggers" They are similar to the "bench brigade" mentioned earlier. There are 3-4 of them and they ONLY lift upper body, and they GRUNT!!! and GROWLLL!!

HUH!  ERRRRRRYAUGHREYYY!

You can hear the across the entire building

We call them the preggers because all of them have significant (huge) guts. We say that they are trying to deliver their "man babies", and that's what all the grunting is about.

OH and one of them takes the elevator to the weight room (it's on the second floor). We figure we'll have to cut him a little slack, seeing as where he's expecting and all.

In reading all these post, I was thinking my college gyms were pretty good.  The one I used IN college had  pretty good social  scene that got a wee bit annoying, but everyone was there in their cheap walmart shorts and blood donation or credit card t-shirts.  My college was also located in the boonies.  I work at a University now and while some girls look pretty cute, I really feel like that the students who go when I go are really there to workout.  Some workout with friends, others are studying or in their zone.  Guess it goes to show that it's so important to check out your gym before you join! Each and every Bally's I've ever been in have been different (and none of them work for me). Same with the YMCA, but I could fit in with one of those better.  I just can't beat the price of staff dicount for the student rec center.

That reminds me of the Y in downtown San Antonio. Four years ago, while traveling for work, I sought out the Y. The free weights were in the basement. Cracked cement, dripping pipes, the whole nine yards. Nothing but "normal" lifters. No posers, no fashion statements, no latte'.

I even picked up some nice advice about calf raises. I haven't been back since, but I would imagine that they must have a capital campaign going by now to build a new building. That one was old and showing it's age.

Oh!  I just thought of another one!!!!  How could I forget this, I still have nightmares.

There is this huge, old (as in like late 60's) fat guy who is always just hanging out in the locker room naked.  I guess in itself that's nothing really bad, except I never see him working out.  He's always just walking around the locker room...he'll walk over to the scale, then brush his teeth, then walk around some more, then read the paper, etc etc etc). 

Anyway, I came out of the shower one day and he's by the counter where the gym keeps hair dryers and stuff for people to use and he's just butt naked blowdrying his ass crack!!!!!  I mean spread-cheeked bending over the counter blowdryer on full-tilt boogie!!  Then he moved it around to the front, put one leg up on the counter and kept on going!!!!!  I have to give him credit for flexability for his age but, YUCK.  It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, ever, and easily takes the cake for most rediculous gym occurrence for me.

Makes me happy I shave my head and don't need to blow dry my hair, lol.  The poor, unsuspecting people who use that thing after him.

That's awesome...that guy's my hero! Why can't more people be as comfortable with their ass cracks?

OMG! I was on the phone when I was reading this and just started laughing!! So unprofessional! (laughing on the phone, not reading this at work). Which I think will lead me to my next new thread for the day...

Shaving your head...lol...
