Overheard in the gym - Share!


Recommended Posts

I'm constantly worried that I'm going to be "that" guy in Yoga. Luckily hasn't happened yet.

Dude, everyone farts in yoga. It's just one of those things. But this guy deserved a trophy. (P.S. I also farted doing the same maneuver, but it was an unnoticeable mincy little girl fart. Two seconds later, dude blows his brown-eyed shorts trumpet.)

At least it wasn't like the story I heard of the dude doing power yoga in only spandex shorts, sporting a rager in the middle of class. I guess he was REALLY HAPPY to be there.

Back in 2003, I had just started to go to the university gym with a friend of mine. A guy (much bigger than myself) asked me to roll up his sleeve for him. I thought maybe that was normal for a gym, and since I was a n00b, I did it for him. Then my friend says "Yeah...that NEVER happens."

But the "overheard" portion is this: Later on I saw that same guy staring at himself in the mirror and muttering "I AM A MACHINE!" over and over.

Friggin' weirdo.

Wanted to add one... not technically overheard, but still...

Guy squatting to the floor, weight over his ankles, with a massive weight (I couldn't see how heavy it was), wearing SKINNY JEANS. Skinny jeans. Come on guy.

I workout in my skinnies all the time. Dosen't restrict my movement in the least bit.

How about "put your legs closer together and point your toes forward"

for squats.

The one little high school boy was trying to teach the other little high school boy SS. Which he said he read. Buuuuuuuuuuut apparently not very well.

Yeah...I shudder to think of ETF + spandex + yoga...scary! ;)

Man, I hope I can rock the spandex like ETF someday... although, as a woman, I guess I don't have to worry about whether yoga makes me "happy."

This used to be where  my weight loss progress bar was. Maybe it will be here again when I'm ready to face the scale and work on my fat problem.

Dude, new job and BIG picture! That was the fastest mouse scrolling of my life. Followed by sneaky looks and scrolling down, then scrolling up, facepalming, and LOLing quietly.

I have a regular at my office gym who "motivates" himself by swearing like a sailor while on the treadmill. Calls himself a fat f#%ker and a wide variety of names that makes even me blush. It doesn't help that he grunts non-stop while running too.

me too!

lol I work out in a thong. My ass eats panties and I figure the less material to eat, the better. God that sounds so awful but it's true.

Whatever works for you!

When i do the olympic lifts I wear this one pair of really tight underpants. It keeps everything tucked in properly.

If i wear my regular underwear (which are a little loose-but not quite boxer loose), the bar often hits my testicles and my penis. No problems when you do deadlifts or squats but when you are pulling the bar above the knees for a snatch- ouch!

I always look sexy in the gym. There is nothing sexier than lifting 350+ lbs off the floor. Girls swoon. :D

They do??!!

please give me the address of your gym!

The ladies at my gym just stare at me with eyes popping out and their eyebrows curled in that strange shape.."why is he lifting so much..."

My question is what does he have in his nose? Is he treating a nosebleed?
