The "I can lift like a dude" girl:
Regular skinny @ss unathletic girl that is ALWAYS in the power cage with a wooden stick squatting and pretending to clean and press, etc. She could easily do these motions in the cardio room where she got her stick, but she has to do it in the cage or else "it doesn't count."

Who the **** is that" guy
"Who the **** is that" guy: some dude you never saw before comes into the gym one day, does sets of hack squats with 7 plates on each side, and disappears. Hes the strongest guy you ever saw, and no one knows who he is. He just shows up one day at your gym and drops off the face of the earth.
Pretty much a guarantee they will never see me again.
The "Who the **** is that" guy possibly is a traveler who simply needed to work out and visited a gym while out of town (or state, even...) Sounds like a serious athlete to me.

The Psych Master: Loads way more weight than he can handle on the bar and tries to draw attention to himself by pacing back and forth and slapping his face with a mean expression and then either 1. Does a quarter rep, racks it, then screams f*ck yeah or 2. just walks off and doesnt even do it

The Hot Older Woman & The Cougar Hunter
This is in line with what I have dubbed the Cougar Hunter. (I also call him the pup, because he isn't quite old enough to be a full on dog yet...). This is a young man (late teens, early 20's) who seems to think all women in their 40's are looking for young dudes. I'm flattered, but I'M OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR MOM, DUMBA**! What's really bad is when I pull out the big guns and begin talking incessantly about my husband and young children, but he doesn't seem to care... brrr...
Of course, I don't really consider myself a "cougar", because I thought that meant women my age who are predatory and going after younger men. I am not. I am there to pick up weights, not guys!
Go talk to that lady over there... she's smiling at you... Go git 'er! Sic 'er, boy!
I'm bad, I know...

At my gym there is a ton of characters that can be seen during the different times I go.
Monkey Man-An older guy who's been around the old school days of lifting who climbs up the double sided cable rack and uses the grip extension over the bar to do rows horizontally.
Who the F is that guy?-A huge black that's at least 6'1 guy who you only see once who reps out 225 on incline like it's nothing.
Short, buff, friendly guy-Guy who seems to be friendly with everyone in the gym, works out with the owner, and can bench 315 for reps.
I can't tell if he's gay or not guy-This guy seems to be everywhere you are in the gym whether it is the machine next to you or the machine across the room facing at you. As you walk by him he makes an orgasmic like grunting sound to see if you will look over at him. When you walk by him as you leave he'll say, "hey guy," or whatever comes to his mind. He also drives a minivan.
The Doctor-The doctor who did my knee surgery, I only see him every two or three months and he is usually lifting on his lunch or break time because he has his scrubs on.
That's all for now, got to go, post more later.

Greatest thrad ever!!
The Cardio Cougher/Throat Clearer:
Man or woman (at my gym it's one specific dude) who, while during cardio on the treadmill, whether it's a fast walk or a run, consistently clears their throat, LIKE 15-20 EVERY SECONDS. I am not exagerating......EVERY 15-20 SECONDS. And it's done over the course of 40-50 minutes!
'Ahcchhchch'...'Blecchhghhg'...'Uchzghghgh'....jus t a constant barrage of noises eminating from this dude's throat region! I always, always, have my shuffle/earbuds playing and I still will sometimes hear him.
The Cardio Cougher/Throat Clearer~I'm an egomaniac with a inferiority complex...
~I love this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic,
awful, beautiful life.........

The OCD Gym Hamster:
She is middle aged, a decent looker, but wears 80s footloose type apparel. She is outgoing and at first take you think she's a nice lady. She chats up, or gets chatted up by a lot of the resident gym rats. She has a pretty good physique for her age, but you never see her actually working out. During your workout you will observe her take 45 plates from one rack, and putting them on another rack. She herds plates as if they are cardboard for her nest. After about an hour spent in the gym, suddenly every machine, every rack, every bar, has an equal amount of weights on each side. You begin to question whether she even pays for membership or is simply allowed to walk in because she basically does the job of the employees.My Get back into shape!

Boss Lady & Pack Mule
BOSS LADY: A couple came in to work out together. The girl kept calling her boyfriend(?) over to change the weights for her or adjust the height or other minor things. At first, I thought perhaps she was physically unable and was there for physical therapy. But I was wrong.
Turned out, she was just a total controlling b**ch...
PACK MULE: Another couple comes in together regularly. The woman doesn't work out. She just follows the guy around. I believe the girlfriend / wife is the guy's mobile towel rack and water bottle holder. She also carries his cell phone and possibly a few other things for him, apparently... It's like SHE is his gym bag!

Oh sht, I used to know him! ROFL!
He was a black guy, brobably around 6'2 or so and hardly any bodyfat. And I swear to god he could curl 135 for more reps than he could bench it. Farking HUGE arms sticking out of tiny little shoulders and chest lol. We gave him sht about it all the time but he never seemed to give a damn because he said he only wanted his arms to look good. He never worked his triceps either lolol.."Do you think SHE actually felt like that was a sexual thing he was doing? She's like 6. Only an actual p3do would think that she thought he was groping her, too."
"Not that it's impossible to touch a minor inappropriately, but it is true that a 6 year old girl will not recognize someone putting a hand on their chest as groping, whether it is inappropriate or not."

The basketball crowd. Goes to the gym at 11pm on a Sunday for the sole purpose of playing basketball. They emerge from the court and dribble the balls through the free weight room, then diverge and walk every which way around my bench while muttering three-fitty or some ****.
Squat 355 belt only
Bench 305 touch and go
Dead. 375
Total 1035 @ 175lbs, gym lifts
