Started back to school and went to the gym and I had to cut my workout short because of all the newbies coming back from winter break. I worked my ass off all winter then they come back and take up my space. I guess I wouldn't have that big of problem if they were actually lifting hard; but come on I had to wait fucking fifteen minutes because some pencil neck geek was doing barbell curls in the squat rack using nickels on each side. If I wasn't going to work out my legs that day I probably would have kicked him in the ass. Can I get a wittness?

A friend and i were squatting in the rack one day and this guy was standing around obviously waiting on it, so we invited him to work in. Well he was not waiting to squat he was waiting on the "curling rack" I kid you not, we asked this guy why he could not just curl at any other station in the place and he looked at us like we were crazy and informed us that was what the curling rack was for , classic!

That is some funny fuckin shit. I see that almost every week and it drives me fuckin nuts. In the last 2 weeks I've seen more people at Gold's than I did all of last year combined. Fuckin New Years Lifters. The good news is they'll all get tired right around the first of February and we won't see then again for another 11 months.

that's one of the reasons i workout at home. hey, i may not have as much equipment as a gym, but i also don't have to contend with any dickholes. i know this is not feasible for all the bros, so you have my sympathies...

but i'd like to say this. if it wasn't for these wimpy, half-assed newbies all the big, lean, cool bros wouldn't look so big, lean and cool. remember, it's all relative bros.
 
We have extra short barbells for curling and simmilar plus a rack for them.
So the squat rack is free most of the time.
 
The NYear Resolution

It gets like this every year...the new years resolution to get in shape. Those that find out this is actually hard work will begin to stay their lazy asses at home. If this phenomena holds true to form...as an earlier post said by MARCH head counts will be almost identical to the previous and historical head count. Just root for the small percentage of people who may stumble onto what some of us already know. "Body by Effort"
 
Yep..there at 5am stoked and w/my groove on. The drawback....I fight sleep and nod off at home. Hmmmm...come to think of it I have not finished a episode of CSI yet! :o

That's a big reason iam @the gym 5:30 am when they open the door.
 
why would you wait for someone to finish curls in the squat rack? Its your right to use the power/squat rack for power/squat movements! fuck all those pieces of shit and kick'em the fuck out!
