Stupid Shit....................

Ok, not 5 minutes ago, I left the rec center after I finished a killer back/bicep workout. As I was finishing up, I happened to see this chick (sorority girl, of course. You know, makeup and showing thong are required gym attire for them, whether they look good or not) over on the leg machines, "lifting" and no, the machine word isn't the scary part. This chick was reading a fucking novel while "lifting." No, I'm not talking about a workout book, or anything like that, she was reading a motherfucking NOVEL. Had something like 20 pounds on leg extensions and then the leg spreader machines, doing reps for God knows how long, not even making a face, all the while reading, while someone else stood there waiting on the machine.

I realize that some people may not believe in going balls out when they lift (the vast, vast majority in this place) or even breaking a sweat (almost as many), but that is STUPID, IGNORANT BULLSHIT. That is just wasting of space and machines, and preventing other people who are actually there for a purpose, not just to see and be seen, from getting their workout in.

Ok, I'm done now.:soap:
 
Oh, forgot to mention that this is the same "gym" where I have seen all of 3 people (myself included) do real squats, and only 2 (once again, including me) do deadlifts.
 
HEy Man!! At least Dead lifts are not banned like ofthe gyms I visited here in San Diego!! But hey! Back Home in TJ, nothing but old school gyms, forget about neck machines or stuff like that!
 
Well, with the stupidass looks I get when I'm doing heavy deads or squats, well, really anything heavy in general, make me really wonder if they're banned in there too.
 
I go to University of Houston and I see the same thing at our rec center. I just stay away from the machines for the most part because all those people who use machines do is sit on them and talk.

No, there are tons of people who squat here, just none that do real squats. I've seen about a hundred doing 1/4 squats, about that many doing 1/2 squats, and even 10-20 doing somewhere near 3/4 squats, but only 3 that do deep squats.

I love seeing people do that shit. They load 315 or 405 on the bar and hit those massive deep 1/4 squats and scream like they're passing a kidney stone the whole time so everyone will look at all the steel they're "pushing". As long as I don't need the rack, it's all really quite amusing. I pray for the day I get to see someone go down just a liiiiitle to far and can't come back up with it. What a fucking racket THAT'LL make.

Yeah, I love seeing that shit. You shoulda seen the looks I was getting last friday (running off of VERY little sleep) when I failed with only 285 on ATF's. Really didn't make much noise, just the fact that someone actually went deep enough to fail.
 
Dude, I wish my gym was full of those adolescent sorority chicks who read novels and take up the machines as long as they stay off the bench presses and squat racks. What's the problem?
 
The ones that do that are all something less than spectacular. The good looking ones are all on the cardio machines upstairs, because Heaven forbid that they might weigh 110lbs.
 
No doubt. I just for the life of me can't see why anyone would have a problem with fit young honeys at the gym, even if they are in the way a little bit. Personally, I welcome all female fembers to the gym. There seems to be a lack of them these days in my gym. It's kinda funny though. The fine ones that so come in end up getting scared off cuz al the horny little dudes stare and make them feel uncomfortable like they are gonna be stalked.
