Newbies in the gym

[tryintorebuild]

I'm fortunate. I work out at lunch in the company gym. Most everybody keeps it pretty professional. There is occassional chit chat, but for the most part we are all on a specific time constraint.

Then again since there seems to be one of these guys in all gyms and I haven't noticed them in mine...?

Maybe I'm just not very observant. Yeah... that has to be it.

Not sure of this has been mentioned but we also have the "nester". You know the douchebag that sits on a piece of equipment and uses his phone for 5 minutes at a time. Today we had a guy sitting on a bench under the smith machine (which we have one) playing with his phone. I did 3 sets of leg presses before he finally attempted a set.

I'm not sure what to think of a guy at my gym. Is he possibly the "anti-nester?" He will load up the bench bar (for instance), do his set, then almost completely leave the gym to play on his phone for 5 minutes. He goes up to the front lobby and sits down, and sometimes I've seen him go to his car. I'm certainly going to ask when I see him again, but is he trying to make it obvious that someone else is welcome to use "his bench?"

Seizure dude is definitely me when I am doing assisted pullups on the Keiser pneumatic. I have been using the least amount of pressure for assistance, so about 130lbs of my own body weight.
I can rep out about 4 good full ROM pullups, but that last one, I look like seizure dude, LOL!

^^^^^ True ..... the person who does a 'megaset' with 6 different pieces of equipment and takes 20 minutes to do one circuit


And the vid bumped:
I'm sure that most of you have already seen this, but I saw it today for the first time and it rang so true!
My gym is full of newbies, especially in the evening and I've seen all of these types so far

Bite me. I rarely EVER mention MS, but let's face it, I do have problems associated with it that I cannot help! Hope you never get such a suck ass disease!

If you're able to type a thirty line run on then you can hit the enter key a few times too without pulling the ADA act.
