New Year resolution people at gym.

[moneyrich]

I'm tired of fuking new years resolution people at my gym. They come in usually in January, hog up all the equipment and never put **** back.
Now there are more people curling in the 2 squat racks in my gym and a ton of people doing nothing but bench press and bicep curls.
Also a load of people doing quarter rep squats while rounding their lower back and thinking they are swole.
Gym only has 3 flat benches, brb waiting 15mins to use a bench.
Also a couple new kids doing tricep extensions and bicep curls, then proceeds to flex in the mirror thinking they are swole while drinking a protein shake intra workout.
Post up your stories about the new people at your gym!

The resolutioners got me a free hotel room on NYE!

Spent the night in Paso Robles and asked for the quietest room. They put us right next to the workout room. 6am they were at it on the treadmill......

Complained at the desk and they gave us the room for free!!!!! LOVE resolutioners!!!

my gym never has anyone in it. the whole upper floor is empty everytime i go. once i saw a lady on the treadmill. that's it

One new kid saw me squat 3 plates, decided he'd try it after I was done - saw him struggle to unrack it, and then could barely get it on the bars again.

(Yes I take off my weights you ****s, this was 15 min later.)

There's some new cardio bunnies that make me happy in a special way. I didn't pay attention to the rest of the people.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to PhiSig2298 again.

You're married, lol. I'm sure one of them isn't even legal. These girls, man, they look way older than they are sometimes.

OT: Are your stats recent or have you been maintaining?

lol. Maintaining. Actually up a few lbs still from the holidays. I didn't even go overboard but I'm sure as hell holding on to the weight. Cutting at 2,500. Looks like I may have to drop down a little


Edit: not sure what my stats even say & I'm always on my phone. It just says "an error occurred" when I try to go to my profile stuff. I'm at 210-212 right now

Some hs kids doing what can only be described as ass off the bench decline bench presses. And I use the term loosely. For an hour. That was fun to navigate around to get to a bench.

Couldn't see if the cardio deck was full of resolutioners but I assume it was.

My high schoolers around here are playing BF 3 or are in school when I'm at the gym. Why don't you go to a real gym and not use the YMCA?

Can't hurt, man. What's your first goal?

[midcoastking33]

All I know is thank god kids had to go back to school this week

[PhiSig2298]

Can't hurt, man. What's your first goal?

This week: 1,000 total on my lifts. My lifts keep increasing so let's hope for a good rest of the week.

After that, either start cutting or keep doing a recomp. I need to just suck it up & cut.

[SOJA]

Cool. What's your first goal weight? 200 still?

[PhiSig2298]

Yeah. I got as low as 205.5 but gained when I got off the Keto kick: rebounded badly I guess. No excuses though

[C41177]

Saw some new chicks walking around the gym. Can't complain too much about that.

Saw some new guys at the gym today, but they really didn't get in my way.

Could be water weight. My weight is weird in that it'll remain the same and drop within the last two days up to a weigh in. You started out the year at what, 293 lb?

Uh I stopped weighing at 279. After that I Spent 2 weeks depressed & putting everything in the fridge in my mouth. Lowest time in my life. After that, my wife told me that she loved me but was going to leave me if I didn't suck it up & start being a better man & father. She was tired of watching me kill myself with food & booze. I've come a long ways but I still have plenty of road ahead of me

[PhiSig2298]

Sorry for being a Debbie Downer.. Back on topic

[SOJA]

It's fine. I think everyone expects a huge decrease in scale weight after a couple of weeks, so when it's minimal, people get depressed.

[mike201011]

Dont go to the gym. You mad?

[MarkVI]

So far nothing too bad. As the year goes on more and more HS kids join and they all bench 175lbs like the swole-ass 150lbers that they are. But that's fine, i just think it's funny.

More cardio bunnies have been a very very welcome addition. I'm only 24 so IDGAF if they're legal....I'll look all I want. inb4mygirlffriendfindsthisthreadandkillsme

Never seen this guy before but he sat there for a good 30-40 minutes without moving

Keep this in mind gentlemen - the second string team (resolutioners, etc.) keep gym doors open. People like us that go in, lift weights, and leave are not a big stream of income. The housewives (mostly, and effeminent men) that buy a year pass, get on a treadmill for 20 minutes/day for 4 weeks, buy a $7 protein shake, pay the trainer for a 10 pack of $75/hour courses, and don't come back for another year generate the income needed to keep the gyms open.

Great point.

And considering the amount of "regulars" who started off as resolutioners, some of you should really bite your tongue. It's this elitist crap that makes people nervous to join a gym in the first place and why I nearly peed my pants going to the weight room for the first time.

Get off your high horses.

I sir, am offended that you would mock not only my weight, but my swole-ass bench.

Did you curl in the squat rack?

lol you act as if people don't do this dumb crap in gyms every. single. day.

i go to a campus gym. it'd be odd if i didn't see someone quarter squatting or saw someone actually do a strict press
