random gym conversations

I bought a squat rack, bench, and 300lbs of weights for I think 350 bucks. I never hear dumb conversations.
 
there was a lady (reasonably hot) strutting around the squat racks having a conversation with herself.......all i could make out was some mumbling and the word ''squat'' every here and there, and she seemed to be agreeing w/ herself...whatever she was saying....

anyway...she proceeded to load that fucking bar and squat deep as shit for a max set of 225x5ish. i don't care if she was nuts, she completely redeemed herself.

Wasn't she simply psyching up?

When I go to the gym I hear a lot of people reciting a lot of lyrics. Most of the time their recitations don't match up with the movement of their lips... maybe it's cause I have my ipod on and I'm not paying much attention to what other people in the gym are doing or saying.

You're better off ignoring/not thinking about most people at the gym. The best word for the vast majority of them is foolish. My gym is quite fortunate in that it has a room set aside for powerlifting (and other stuff, like Olympic lifts). It's well equipped, and there are a number of very strong powerlifters, so you'd think there'd be more people who want to take advantage of the equipment and the knowledge of more experienced lifters. Not so much. There's still lots of idiots.

The point is that people doing stupid stuff, and wasting their time is a fact of life. Unless you have a reason that it's your buisness it isn't something to be concerned about. Just go to the gym, train hard, and don't take it for granted when you meet people who actually know what they're talking about at the gym.

This. My Gym has a "heavy" room, filled with Oly Bars, Squat Cages etc. 90% Of my workout I do in this room. The only downside is there are'nt any Benches, so I have to go to one of the other rooms to Bench.

There's also a Nautilus Room, which is excellent: it keeps the little girly men away from the Free Weight Gyms, so we Crom Worshiping Iron Lovers can do our workouts in peace(the NG also has a fair number of Hotties, which is a pleasant thing to see after a hard workout:icon_chee).
 
I use to get that now i just get the gym to put my own cd's on threw the speakers then make them turn it up so i can barely hear the person next to me.
 
I don't go to the gym until about 1am so the only conversations I have are with the TV.....which typically tell me things like

1- it's pronounced "shawty" and not "shorty"

2- This "shawty" is an ee nee me nee my nee moe lover

3- Shawty's fire is burning on the dance floor and someone should dial 911

4- Shawty is also like a melody stuck in my head


I have also learned that 3/5 songs on the music channel at the gym use auto-tune...it's the new version of distortion.

I have also learned why I REALLY REALLY need an mp3 player....the music is terrible.

Lolz. I can only stomach mainstream hip hop when I'm drunk and at a club. And only because it has the dumbfounding ability to entrance young ladies and cause them to agitate their assets.
 
There was this gym I went to in highschool, and this chick was always there and was extremely hott. Well everytime she moved a weight she moaned like porn star. It was hott and hilarious at the same time. Needless to say it distracted the hell out of me
 
I lift at a "fitness" gym that definitely isn't geared towards the serious lifter but I find that while people aren't doing (what I would consider) the best exercise selection they actually tend to work pretty hard and there's isn't much silly chit-chat. Hell, lately there's been two newer regulars (guys that I've only started seeing since the summer started) that squat and deadlift and yesterday I found the bar in the squat rack covered in chalk. If this keeps up maybe we can all gang up and convince the gym to buy a power rack.

Just curious, but what are the advantages of a power rack over a squat rack?
 
Why does this need more mitosis? Do we need an identical sister thread?
 
Been at my gym about 3 years and never had a conversation with anyone.
I try to steer well clear of the gym "social guys" .
 
Where are the microtubeals attached to the centromere. I don't see any sister chromatids.

A power rack has adjustable hooks and adjustable safety bars that make it more versatile. Squat racks usually have a bunch of fixed hooks and safety bar at one, unadjustable height.

Advantages of a power rack/cage:
- you can put the safety bars at the correct height based on your height for squatting. With a squat rack if you are too tall it will be hard to bail and if you're too short you won't be able to squat deep enough
- you can also put the safety bars low enough so that you can bench in the rack.
- you can do chins/pull-ups on most power racks and often you can get an attachment that lets you do dips
- you can do rack pulls from various heights

I have seen some squat racks that have adjustable safety bars but the majority seem to be the fixed kind. At my gym the bars are just tall enough that I can safely (if a little awkwardly) fail a squat but for anyone over 6 feet tall they might trouble bailing.
 
yeah i am right at 6 feet and its tricky with my squat rack because its the fixed kind and its set quite low.last time i failed i managed to get it to the first hook
 
I herd one girl telling other girl that she feels molested after every grappling session...
:icon_neut
now that is fucked up...
but what could she expect, i mean guard, mount positions, triangles...
