working around the hype
October 17, 2007So many of you are probably accomplished bodybuilders/weightlifters ect…Coming into my gym can sometimes be more of a red carpet affair then a hard training session. Being that I go to school with a lot of the people i run into the weightroom people constantly recognize me. Although this is cool outside the gym, when I am in the weightroom I am trying to maintain a focus that will bring me to working out the best I can. I usually go to the gym with headphones and an Ipod just so people know I am not necessarily just headed to the gym for a social chat and some tea, but even then people will come tap me on the shoulder and want to ask me questions about my workout or talk about the football game (which we lost). It becomes hard to let them know im trying to workout without coming off as a complete ass after it continually happens. A lot of people come into the weight room and casually do there sets while engaging in conversation and laughing with other, and that’s all well and good, but you just hafta leave me out of it. When I come to the weightroom I come for a reason, I have a goal, I am not coming to make friends, this is my time, my small window to a better me, my greatest moment in the day. This is where I get to forget whats going on around me, the stress of the outside world, school, roomates, girls, all of it, i wash it away and I get to work. So if your one of those people please, I am not mean just lemme do my thing and get at me afterwards, and if your in my shoes, lets just let people know, I don’t care what you do in the weight room, just dont involve me in your nonsense.
