Why is it...(shameless silly rant)

[Tmax55]

appropriate for people to use the lat pull machine with one fricking plate for 87,000 reps...and the same people to complain that I make to much noise doing deadlifts...or that using a puke bucket next to a squat rack grosses them out...are we supposed to puke on the floor? Would that be less gross?

I mean I do low weight high rep workouts, but it needs to be difficult enough that if you are doing high rep - it raises your respitory rate. They don't sweat (yet strangely smell bad anyway), they don't breath hard, they clog up the machines and complain about grunting ect....

When I was in college at the gym I worked out at I believe you'd get your arse kicked for even going in there looking like that...now its common. I've also seen grown men benching the bar...just do pushups from the knee or something.

Or my favorite - today a two men were doing upright rows with the bar and 2.5's on each side in the only squat rack in the gym...and I needed to squat. I normally don't get bothered much with what I start with opn non leg days, but I just can't start a leg workout with anything other than squats and come back to them...I've never been able to...perhaps its a mental bugaboo that I have, but its set in deep like a cerebral tatoo.

Its just not leg day without squats and if you miss leg day you may as well skip every upper body day too...so you see it would be like missing 3 days of working out by skipping the squats today....so I waited...for 20 mins...while they took 2 min breaks in between sets.

On the positive side I used my anger to fuel a great workout!

Rant off.

Give it a few weeks and all the new year's resolutioners will be gone.

Also, puke bucket is a bit too far for a large gym IMO

The puke bucket wasn't today...I'm working on form still doing high rep work...don't usually puke but do get dizzy. Its kinda pathetic but I rep 135 as many times as I can on squats for three sets right now then go into other things...and I do get out of breath doing it.

[tobymax123]

Those same people are at my gym doing hundreds of lat pull downs with one plate. They're not even exerting themselves in the least. But I don't use the lat pull down machines, so no problem for me. Most of them are old (by which I mean really old and feeble), so at least they're not home sitting on the couch.

Having a bucket by the squat machine, just in case: Okay.
Actually puking in it: Gross. Of course people are going to complain. Maybe go to a different gym where it's not frowned upon.

[pharmamarketer]

I want to see a vid of you squatting OP. Let's see the hardcore.

The nerve of those guys doing Upright Rows. Geez; they were acting like they were gym members or something.


It's really sad that everyone isn't as hardcore as you, opie.

[kimm4]

and the same people to complain that I make to much noise doing deadlifts...

You make too much noise doing deadlifts, yet you squat 135 lbs.

Seems legit...

[Tmax55]

I'm not that hardcore. I used to be. I want to be again sometime. There are tens of thousands of people more hardcore than me.

My form is lacking on squats. I am working on it. I can post video of that (not today since I don't have one), but its going to be rather boring to see someone repping a light weight a ton of times to correct a form problem.

I don't care what exsersizes people do...heck I do upright rows from time to time. I wasn't seriously all that bothered...I'm just bored today.

Honestly, that's what I call a cool story bro. Such a riveting tale, I honestly copy and pasted it to word, saved on my hard drive, backed it up on a jump drive, drove to the bank, put the jump drive in the safe deposit box, and will leave it there until my kids turn about 12 (when they can actually state their age, and ask what it is I'm showing them), when I will pick it up, put it in an old USB drive reader and relay this cool story to them and tell them, "kids, this is what a cool story should look and sound like...not like the stories your generation tells.

[Smelly bull]

Is this thread where I learned how to be toned?

[justwannagetfit]

you are so right thread starter

[drudixon]

In for vid of vomit or negs.

[cockywop]

Subtle eBrag disguised as rant.

[Arkansan]

Nothing really to add. Just seem like a good thread to get my post count up!!!
Go me!!!

[Corbi]

Puke bucket, seriously? Definitely a shallow E-brag thread about how much of a badass and hard core the OP is. I have seen dudes squat #600+ lbs, deadlift #500-600, bench #450+ and have yet to see a single one of them felt a need to have a fukkin puke bucket.


Gonna be a fun few months will all the resolutioners and other gym newbies trying to impress us with how Alpha they are in the gym.

[SteveWright1]

you could goblet squat the puke bucket
on a really bad day, the weight would gradually increase during the exercise

[KingWass]

Hmmm puke bucket I have not seen this yet in the gym - I wonder if mo farah carries a bucket whilst hes jogging all them miles hmmm - you think any footballers have a sideline puke bucket

Poor opie can't even fit into off-the-rack pants anymore. #massivequads

[TaRockula]

Work out at home....

Plan on getting my **** together this year and stop making excuses.

Happy New Year

It's a toss up between all pro and SS. I think sometimes tha SS might be to intense for me. I've read the book and got a lot out of it.
Im I guess I'm what they call skinny fat. After I hit 35 I got a guy from somewhere. Now I can't seem to get rid if it.lol

Happy new year to you too.

Just realized we already had this conversation before...l

Puke bucket lol. Hardcore bro.

[birdiefu]

Ahhh, priceless threads like this are what make OV35 full of so much win.

OP - you know, even very very strong PLs (grown men at that) will still warmup with the bar...

Joins a few days ago. Makes a few posts. Posts rant topic.

Amazing. Puke bucket? I bet you're also the guy that leaves your sheeeit all over the locker room whilst you loudly grunt your way through a pea sized cr@p? Leave your sheeeit in front of my locker and I'll use it to clean the bottom of my shoes.

;-)

[RT1957]

Why would anyone want to work themselves to the point of puking...I don't get it....Working hard is one thing....getting oneself sick to the stomach is far beyond reasonable. After you puke you can become easily dehydrated. What would be the point of that???? How does that equal gains. Seems to me your working against yourself.

[JediRN]

^^^ This.

Puke bucket lol. Hardcore bro.

I've been taking a cardiothoracic surgeon, a gastrointerologist, two portable x-ray machines, a direct stream to Riply's Believe it or Not and Guiness Book of World Records, a vial of D50, a defibrilator, and two asian massage therapist with me to the gym recently. Never thought about a puke bucket though. Gonna have to get one of those just to fit in. Crossfit has been kicking my ass.

Please tell me you're kidding? If you can't squat first, then you miss leg day and skip upper body too? Perhaps you can learn something from the people that angered you; I'm sure they're not missing sessions because they couldn't squat first.
