ok, im sure this has been said before but i gotta get it off my chest. i am australian but have been in Dubai (UAE) for the past 6 months. i have never trained in a gym with as many posers in my life. i dont mind posers, if they have something to pose with. infact credible people who pose give me incentive. however about 85% of the guys at my gym pump the juice, come to the gym, look at themselves about 70% of the time and train the other. they are weak as piss. i saw this one guy who must have weighed about 250/260 - pretty muscular. he was doing half squats of about 400lb and making a lot of noise each rep. he thought he was the bomb. anyway sorry for this but it f**king pisses me of. any one else with similar experiences?
 
To each their own bro...the guys that really get on my nerves are the scrawny little fucks who fuckin sit on a machine and talk for twenty minutes and workout for a total of two minutes...I actually got in trouble for telling a guy to please hurry up because he was just standing in the freaking squat rack doing bicep curls for a total of three whole reps with 40lbs and then talking,blah blah blah...jeez..oh well,that;'s life.
 
Good to see another Australian on the board! I'm turning American by the minute. I don't use kgs anymore and am now used to converting everything into pounds. Instead of mls and litres, I'm using fluid oz's and gallons.

Anyway, back onto the thread. As you might know zadok, sydney is full of lebo (lebanese) try hards that walk around the gym with imaginary lats and sport 12 inch arms (flexed) thinking they're the next Jay Cutler. It happens everywhere and in almost every gym. It usually comes down to the 'boys' who want to get big purely based on the fact that they might be able to score a root.

Then you have serious BB's such as ourselves who put time and dedication into our training, diets, sleeping habits and information resources such as meso (BEST BOARD IN THE WORLD).

Now it pisses me off when I see scrawny little fucks on their mobile phones inbetween sets on the bench when there's like 5 guys waiting to use it. And after they've done their 120lbs sets (with completely shit form) they make their way to the reception desk, sipping on their protein drinks whilst trying to pick up the receptionist for another good 30minutes.

Most gyms have turned into fuckin night clubs which Is why now I prefer to workout out at home.

I can scream as loud as I want, listen to whatever music I want, don't have to wait to use any of my equipment and I can do a workout in under 40minutes.

I'd love to find a cilivised gym with proper human beings who go there for one purpose and one purpose only.. TO WORKOUT.

But in Sydney Australia, that's completely out of the question.

There are too many show ponys in todays gyms, just my 0.2
 
Hey, GDSGFT, im from little old tasmania. the gym i went to was one of the old kind, mostly had serious BBs going there. just got a bit of a shock when i came here. not being racist or anything, but as for the lebanese, i def see what you mean. there are plenty of them here, along with iranians, who are worse by the way. Another thing that surprised me was that about 90% of the guys at the gym here dont train legs. they ALL come to the gym with long pants and tanktops, like wtf? i could not imagine going to the gym and not training legs. each to their own i suppose.
