Overheard in the gym - Share!


Recommended Posts

I find this debate very peculiar.... I can't wear anything else. I just get wedgied and spend the day trying to fish handfuls of material out of my ass crack if I wear big pants.

And yeah, I definitely wear thongs in the gym. Don't understand why anyone would find it uncomfortable... :confused:

I would just vote for going without. Thongs are not comfy for me when I'm just sitting around. I think they'd be even less so while exercising.

Up until recently, I was actually going commando to the gym. Don't know why I stopped, actually.

 

I have actually considered this before.  The pants I wear to the gym are quite comfortable while commando.  Just haven't tried it yet.

The downfall of this is that its spiraled into a serious conversation about thongs at the gym and I really have nothing to input here.

^^ Agreed! In the sense of not hearing much.  I'm in the gym at 6am.  There's usually only one or two other people there.  What I have learned is that PT sessions seem like therapy sessions for the PT.

 

Thankfully, a few of the trainers and instructors have gotten pissed and have taken to posting signs and notices about reracking weights, bars, et cetera.  You know proper gym etiquette stuff.

I don't know if thongs are something different in America, but I'm picturing bikini bottoms. We have something in the UK called a jockstrap - is that what you're all on about? It's worn by a lot of male sporty types to keep their bits in place.

 

Thongs aren't what they used to be...

Unless I'm missing something (UK nerd too) they really do just mean thongs, as in ass-flossing knickers. Is there another meaning....?

Yeah, we still have those, though I think they've pretty well been replaced by the compression shorts, though for power lifting (raw) you have to go back to the jock strap. Never thought of it as a thong, but that is bascially correct.

Thongs (in some parts of the USA) are also what are known as flip-flops; rubber sandals with one strap between your big toe and its neighbor.

So who knows whether I'm in my right mind or not... I'll blame it on the lack of sleep.

I hate to be the guy who points out the obvious, but your username is "insanity"...

So cool Guzzi, you just invented a new acronym - AFK. :)

 

This is going to make me laugh when people I play MMO's with say they're going AFK (Away From Keyboard).  I like Ass-Flossing Knickers better too! LOL!

I'll try a rescue story...

 

Just finished my 'I'bve gob a colb so I'll not libt ad mubch' session and I saw a couple of lads come in, get on the Smith Machine and start doing some sort of row from the waist up to about the chest..I wasn't too sure what they were up to but I'd just finished DL'ing 100kg and then doing hanging knee raises and they looked at me like I was the mad one!

The smith machine is always a source of amusement. Last night, the smith at my gym was broken and two young brohams walked up to it spouting a few disappointed expletives. They moved to the power rack next to it and started bicep curling the bar.
