Working out at a club.

Unfort. I'm a little above my fighting weight @ (6"4 225) wanting to get back to around 195 lbs, so I recently decided to join a health club for the Winter but damn these meatheads make it so difficult to keep coming back to the gym.

Seriously, when I'm on the treadmill and this guy is on the bike next to me trying to go mach 3, grunting, hyperventalating (sp?), and telling himself that "he's the man", wtf?

Clean off the damn machines too..

If I heard that I would just bust out laughing.

It was odd, it was in the middle of a grunt and you hear "you the man", I wanted to shake my head but I would've tripped.

Did the guy speak in the third person? :lol:

"Jimmy's the man!!"

Sometimes I hate working out in public gyms for stories just like these.

I'll be there in a couple of hours, so hopefully there will be more women than guys.

I can't stand people who chat or use their cell phones. I also hate people who walk in front of you while you're lifting.
