So in between sets or during some warmups... have you ever just looked around your gym? If so, what have you seen. Without naming the gym, here's some things I've noticed in regards to people.

You have the... gotta wear a hat guys, the muscle shirt/tank top guys, the ones that avoid leg day guys, then those that dressed in the dark, those that wear hoodies with the hood on their head and occasionally those that make way too much noise.

Here's to a great Friday

Today I saw a guy do lat pulldowns for 45 min. Quite impressive actually...like he was doing the boring but big just on lats.

I like the gym I go to because everyone seems to mind their own business and not give opinions to others.

There's a group of Hispanic women, who number somewhere between 5 and 50 depending on the day.

And they hog all the squat racks doing their 2 hour long booty blast workout.

There's another lady who wears nothing but a sports bra and the tightest yoga pants in the world. She makes it hard to concentrate.

The a-hole who sits on his cell phone for 5 minutes between sets.

Sometimes the male gyms are good but you need motivation

Tons of far left mask wearers at my upscale tennis club

Don’t mind all the Asians rocking them bc that’s their culture but all the Western Europeans are annoying and soy AF.

I’m not homosexual so I don’t pay attention to how men dress in the gym.

Just put the weights back where you got them, respect the equipment and don’t smell like shite

At my gym there’s this really weird guy that does crazy shite on the treadmills. I really don’t care and it’s not my place to say anything but I don’t think he’s going to stop until he hurts himself - although I haven’t seen him since they’ve reopened

Some of the grunting scares me at first bc it sounds like someone is being murdered.

Usually my older sons and I go when it’s pretty empty or it’s usually older ppl in better shape than me

I’m usually alone. I get up at 5 for that reason. I do wear a hat, though. It keeps sweat out of my hearing aids.

I sometimes play "Gym Detective" in between sets. I pretend I'm a forensics analyst and try to decipher what the frick was going on in there before I got there.

Like why is there a jump rope in the dip machine? Why are there kettlebells in the squat rack?

I can just picture some guy telling his friend "bro, you gotta ditch the plates, it's 2020, nobody is getting jacked from lifting plates anymore. You gotta put kettlebells on the squat bar, that's the only way."

But is he taking 5 minutes between sets because he's on his phone or is he on his phone because he has to wait 5 minutes between sets. There's a difference.

I’ve never been into tank tops/muscle shirts but sometimes end up wearing a too tight shirt like Jake from State Farm. It brings out my inner douche but also gives that motivation to squeeze out an extra rep or two.
