I saw a new one this morning.

Guy was doing these half-assed bicycle crunches so fast he looked like he was having a seizure. 

This was going on at RR Golds yesterday. Dudes not there bc he's at his 3rd station super setting like a boss.

New year, new group at random guys working out together on circuits... they'll be gone in a week or two.

Lifetime which used to be pretty low in the douche and douchette level is becoming almost unbearable these days...half of me enjoys the douche watching the other half is irritated at halving to step over milk jugs and being surrounded by dudes wearing, beats headphones and yoga pants

By necessity I’m at the gym most days at 5am, so I avoid many of the intolerables.

5am?

Why do people wear sweat pants, hoodies, and other shit that just increase the sweat factor? Is there some theory behind making yourself sweat more by wearing hot clothing?

Yep, slight uptick in attendance at my gym.  I expect them to peel off within the month, or at least by Spring Break.

Beats worn on the outside of the hood...I don't get it. Can you still hear the music? Do you have to show the world you spent $300 on headphones?   

So you know the new Lulu wind shorts reboot that’s in style now. Well other day an 8+ was rocking them on deadlifts.  I needed to do leg press two stations behind, sorry its leg day. 

 

Pet peave is she did only one more set. Didn’t even drop set. I mean, WTH?

Not a pet peeve per se but a question ... what's up with the fraternity of old milk jug water bottles? I mean, dudes' wearing $300 headphones and $100 yoga pants but can't spring for a nalgene or a camelbak?

We have a thread for that, still waiting for the pics.

Easy way to measure how much water you’re drinking?

People leaving used towels all over the locker room. Is it that hard to drop it in the bin on your way out. Fucking slobs.

Ya... recurring douche theme... wait several minutes... look around... step towards bench/machine and meathead working out across gym runs over to say "I am using that".  

 

Possibly, I get to see every single old dude's junk in the locker room since they all seemingly have bets to see who can be fully naked the longest. I'll try to see if we have any that are wearing hoods.

I'm a Lifetime guy. Usually if you are at Lifetime you are paying to separate from the chaff, but you just described me with milk jugs, my beats and joggers and Baylor Bears muscle shirt.
How about the Almond Butter shakes tho?

That’s not almond butter.

God I hate this time of year. I usually go to the gym either really early before work (5:30ish) or take a break and go around 10:30 - so I miss most of the NY Resolution crowd, but I take my son to swimming lessons at 7:00 every Tuesday night. Last week I had to park at the far end of the parking lot. What a fucking beat down.

I quit Lifetime when my location nearly doubled the membership price to go from a platinum club to a diamond level club.  Little about the club changed other than having the choice to pay to reserve lockers and parking spots, but now I have to pay $100 a month to lift weights?  Fuck off....

haha, see a bit of this at my gym but not much. there's a fat powerlifter who will stand a Fat Grip on its end and uses the opening to hold his phone to film while he's lifting. then he sends the video to his coach so he can critique his form.

What, he's so fat there's not enough room for his coach to be there with him?

I've about had it with LTF for these reasons and that it's become filled with crossfit douche tripod carrying people.   It was great when my kids were younger and I took them swimming but now their mom has a pool so they don't really go as much.   In SA I have two choices.  Golds which is just as douche and Planet Fitness which at $20 a month sounds pretty appealing.  At this point all I do is 20-30 mins of cardio and 20-30 mins of weights.  They have a planet 10 mins from my office and home.   As the weather starts to warm up I do a lot more bike riding and hiking for exercise anyway

well not quite, but he's such a serious lifter dipshit he pays an "online coach" to plan his workouts for him. bench pressing about 90% of your bodyweight for 3 or 4 reps is serious bidness

I'm paying $35/mo at 24hour and the thought to change gym hits once in a while but f all that $100/mo to get out of the poor ppl gym range.

planet usually has $10/month memberships.  re 24 hr, fuck $35/month.  costco sells 24hr 2 year memberships for about $400.  

re the nicer places, i go to LA fitness.  it's $50 or $100 down and $30/month.  if you are paying 35/month @ 24hr, then you are getting screwed.  the la fitness on anderson is never that busy, especially compared to 24 hr.

LA Fitness is not close to either my office or home.  Planet is $10 for one gym use but since I go on wknds as well as weekdays Id opt for the unlimited at $20..

go on...

10-30 a month?!? Sucks to be me. Being a swimmer is expensive, apparently. I’m paying $65 for Houston citywide YMCA. Swim 3-4 times a week, but hate their free weights so work out in the garage when I want to lift. Probably ~$1000 in sunk cost iron and barbels off Craigslist over the last few years.

the cheap costco one only gets you into half of the 24 hr fitnesses.  the more expensive one works out to about $30 a month anyway.

Yeah, shit drives me nuts, especially when they leave them on the shower floor. There’s a bin every 5 feet in the locker room
