FNG’s at the GYM…
You know, i wont call myself a gymrat but i am back at the gym again. I have friends who are gymrats but what really sucks about going to the gym, especially at this time of the year is the FNG’s (****ing new guys/gals) that have new years resolutions to loose weight and then after a month or so quit! I really have alot of respect for those who can stick to it and want to make a change in their life by shedding the unwanted pounds! Two of my friends on here used to be big. Not as big as I used to be but after a year they both lost over 100 pounds and thats because they was devoted to it completely!
I dont mind helping the new peeps at the gym but they really should ask the trainer on duty. I mean when ya sign up you get a few free sessions with the trainer and if they are not up to speed on what to do with a machine they should get with them. Honestly, I dont like to talk to anyone when I go workout. I like to go in, warm up and get my business done. I dont need conversations with people and trying to impress some woman by doing more than what I can lift on a machine. I see it all the time. Guys in there that are built like wrestlers who think that because they lift 600 pounds that some woman wants to **** their brains out! Ok yes im sure that some women are turned on by that but thats just not something I would do. My friend Carlos told me about how he just would go in, take care of business and go home..Thats the way I am.
I really wish the FNG’s well in their quest to loose weight and better themselves because I once was one! I remember going into the gym for the first time and people staring at me. One guy kept laughing at me. Told me I was weak and couldnt lift shit. So without showing him up. One day I threw 500 pounds and started hittin up squats…..he looked at me like i was retarded but I did it with ease and of course the pain of a lil strain. After that, he came up to me and told me that he was sorry for talking shit to me and wondered why I could do so much. Told him, "im a big guy. I used to play football. Im used to this shit!"
So, if your a FNG reading this, good luck to ya..just ignore people if they seem to be making fun of you and ask the trainers for help if you need it. Learn proper etiquitte and put weights back up on the racks. Wipe your sweat off machines cause no one wants to sit on or lay on your sweat….and learn not to bother peeps who keep to themselves…many people do not like to be bothered in the gym…like myself….
For the veterans of the smelly gym haahha…..give the peeps a lil break…they are trying to do something for themselves..if you see someone doing something that might cause them to get hurt, help them out..give em a hand or offer a small piece of advice and then go about your business…..as much as i dont like being bothered i wouldnt want to see someone get hurt because im too much of an ass to offer my assistance in spotting or something…..
So train hard and I hope that whoever reads this will reach their goals!!!
