Okay it’s Wednesday and I have a gym rant. I was at the gym and minding my own business, trying to focus on lifting the iron in front of me.

All of a sudden a scrawny middle aged man comes up from behind - almost out of nowhere – like a lurking fiend.

He starts talking and being the polite person I am I respond to his questions – mainly with ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

When I thought he was finished he had to come out with the ‘kicker’:

fficeffice" />

‘‘Hey, you’re doing quite a lot of weight on that Bench Press’’



I respond with, ‘No no it’s not that much, I am not that strong’



The guy then comes out with, ‘‘Well I know somebody who can do twice the amount you’re doing, and he is also about twice your size as well’’



I am thinking to myself why do these people always come out with this same thing every time. I have met many like this guy in the past and they all know somebody bigger - I mean really where are all the MONSTERS are hiding. When you ask them well where does this guy train and they usually respond – ‘well I think he has moved away somewhere’.



Okay I’m about 210 lbs at height of 5ft 10 (11% body fat) which by all means is not that big but really where are all these other BIG guys hanging out. Is it that these guys are intimidated by the weight your pushing and just have to come over to try to kick you down a notch! I really don’t know the reasoning behind it and it really quite funny – hope you guys enjoy my GYM RANT – don’t worry I will have plenty more!!

Well send him to California. The gym I train at have guys that are 5'8" and well over 250lbs ripped.

I lift the most at the gym I go to - there is one other guy who is only 5'6" but he loooks really F**king good, but then again he has been lifting 25 years and is ripped to F**k, and lifts similar amounts. I agree it p*sses me off a bit when some of the people talk to you and come out with - oh my friend is 2X bigger than you and can lift more weight etc. I normaly say somthing along the line of lucky him... There is always someone bigger and stronger around the corner, but y bother going looking for them - after all I don't want to have theri children ....

W4ankers, next time just ask the guy if he can lift more than you (not his mate).

I got one better. I have 20 minutes to train on my lunch break. I do one body part. When I train I like to lift heavy. It is chest day and on this day I am starting with db inclines. I do 3 sets. 2 sets of warm up and one heavy set to failure. All the incline benchs are bolted to the ground. So I take the weights off of the rack infront of me and I put the 100lb db's infront of me. I dont feel like doing the farmers walk and wasting energy for my heavy set of inclines that I do once every 2 weeks. Well after I do my set and am walking the weights back to were they belong some jackasss puts his 25's where the fcuking 100's go. First off I have spent all my energy pressing them, then carrying them 50 feet to find out that some **** was to lazy to take his pidily weight back where he got it.
