If there is only one other person in the locker room, they will be using the locker next to yours.

When you go to the gym to do your leg day at 1 in the morning and there is only one person other than you in the entire building he will be on the only squat rack in the gym.

Murphy says no matter what exercise I'm doing, there will be at least 1 dude walks up to me and wants to talk to me about how I should do it some other way. Apparently since I don't wear my wedding ring while lifting, this is a signal to come bother me.
When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Nope
In all the years I've been going to this one particular gym, The Original Powerhouse Gym, nothing out of the ordinary happens until one day I pissed off one of the attendees about my water bottle which was a round pitcher with a closeable spout. The guy was furious! He stormed off the gym floor and told Norm Dabish about me. I went to Will Dabish immediately who was on the gym floor exercising and approached him about my pitcher and he said, "It's OK"! Will Dabish become "red in the face" as he walked toward me. He said, "If you hadn't went to my brother, I would have banned you"! I saw it coming. Murphy's Law huh? LOLOriginally Posted by Get-n-fit

When going commando just this one time, there is a greater chance in being asked to spot by a stranger benching.Originally Posted by Nikonguy

You've a close choice between two different dumbbell weights, both of which are available.
You chose one, but after one or two reps you realise it's too heavy/light, so you go to switch, but other ones have been taken in last 20 seconds....."If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation." - David Brent

When you are feeling lightheaded from finishing a squat set the gym attendant will decide to clean the mirrors and spray the Windex so you inhale it.

The day I forget my iPod, the gym decides to play country music.
As an aside, no-one has ever asked me to spot for them. Wonder why that might be.

You go on a message board and answer the question given, and one idiot always gives an answer which makes no sense whatsover, like in posts #91 or #99.
