MEDICJOHN’s BodyBlog

Jesus….children…time for class…this site and this hobby is called bodybuilding….not just "upper" bodybuilding!!!!

So many guys at my gym have really amazing bodies..but then you look for some legs and…nothin’!!!!!

What’s the point of looking great from the waist up???  I don’t get it….

I mean, my legs aren’t amazing..but I work them…at least once a week for Gods sake…am I the only one who finds it ridiculous to only work half your body?  Does the bottom not count?  What guy doesn’t want girls..or guys for that matter…to think they have a hot ass???? 

I have notice this in EVERY SINGLE GYM I have ever been to.  There are two water fountains, very close together, one is usually lower than the other, I assume to comply with regulations regarding physically challenged people.  But, whenever I choose either fountain to consume my water, there will be people waiting behind me for a drink, but, refuse to use the clearly empty water fountain just beside me.  I still have not developed a theory on this.  Is the "thats too close to you, I might be thought of as gay’ thing?  Or is it  like when  two straight guys go to a movie, they have to sit with one  seat in between them, I assume, so  no one will think they are gay?  I mean, when I gotta drink, and there are clearly two fountains there to use, I’m f…ing using it.  So, I have taken to making my drinking last longer than it needs to, just to make them irritated and see if they will break and  head for the other  fountain.  It’s more funny than anything….and amusing.  Anyone got any input on the rationale of that????

Honestly, I think I am an opened minded guy.  I respect different cultures, etc.  But, I think, if you live in the U.S.A.  At some point, there needs to be assimilation.  Not to say you deny your heritage, but, wearing deodorant is something I refuse to waver on!!!!  Regardless of your upbringing, religious ideals, what the hell ever, if you are gonna go to a gym here, in the US, you need to wear f’in deodorant.  I had to run to the locker room tonight to put something in the locker.  There was a sweaty guy there at the mirror changing, and, for the love of god, it literally took my breath away!!!  Out of my body!!!  Not kidding.  I started coughing.  Yes, I did over dramatize the cough, hoping to make him feel bad.  And he should!  There is no f’in excuse for anyone coming to the gym to work out and NOT wearing deodorant! 

We have all forgotten once or twice and left the house.  But, I think we soon become aware and take measures to fix the problem.  There are some ppl who stink every god dam day!  It really makes me mad. 

Almost as mad as people not re racking the weights.  But that’s a blog I have already done on there so I won’t bore you. 

I thought about getting little trial sizes and just sitting them in front of the offending individual as I walk by,..but….I would probably get in trouble for it somehow. 

Ok, I guess I officially use this blog to complain and bitch.  But for the love of christ!!!  Why do ppl not understand the concept of re racking weights???  Is is some advanced, deep, thinking technique?  Seems to me its gym 101.  I, honestly, don’t have to be told to re rack..just as I don’t have to be told to flush the toilet!  It just seems thats the natural, normal thing to do!!!!  What would ppl do if there was no employee to walk around after your LAZY ASSES and pick up your S…t!???  I actually watched a guy and his buddy, of course, walk away from 4 45lb plates lying beside the bench they just used….on the F….in floor!!!!  I was so pissed I didn’t say anything cuz a fight would certainly have followed. 

I even get worked up writing this blog.  Am I the only one who wants to bitch slap these inconsiderate MFers?

Am I the only one who finds sunglasses in the gym totally ridiculous???  I can see wearing sunglasses if you are training on venice beach, I mean, makes sense right?  But I am in total confusion about people who wear them in the gym, and I rather dark gym at that!  I’ll even forgive you if you happen to be unlucky enough to have some eye issue, like, say, one eye goes this way and the other one  goes off some other crazy direction.  That’s an acceptable excuse.  Or, if you happen to be Stevie Wonder, or any other blind person.  We give them a pass.  But just the regular joe?  I don’t get it.

I know, I’m  not a bodybuilder, per se, and I have no intention of ever looking HUGE, but I do like to look good and strong and muscular, trying to anyway.  And I think I have a good idea of what EFFORT is, and I think I put forth alot of effort in the gym.  I do NOT however, scream at the top of my lungs in an effort to lift the weight.  I admit, I may let out a grunt every now and then when it starts to hurt, but….ok…I’ll just get to the point.  This guy in the gym yesterday was screaming SO F***ING loud, everyone would turn around and see what the problem was.  He was all alone, doing, get this, triceps on the cable!  Now, triceps is a small muscle that responds well to weight.  I see no reason that you have to blow and aneurysm in your brain to do anything…especially triceps.  If my gym was full of competitive size bodybuilders full of juice and all yelling and being loud, I could see how it would be a macho type competition to see who could yell the loudest and what not.  But man, I go to plain ole 24 hour fitness.  Do you feel me?  I could even cut the freak some slack IF he had an amazing body, cuz I would figure, well, he seems like a freak, but he looks amazing.  But he DIDN’T.  He was just some middle ages guy who’s body had seen better days.

Sup wit dat????

Ok, can someone explain to me how anyone would KNOWINGLY not do something about dark, black, thick, back hair?  I am in the gym today and there is this guy working out wearing a black shirt under a tank top, only, it wasn’t a black shirt at all! It was his sasquatch looking back hair!!!!!!  honestly, I can appreciate ppl having different tastes, but, how can anyone on this earth actually find having that much back hair acceptable????  Why would you NOT do something about it????  I really don’t get it!!!!

Is it just me, or do these short asian dudes have the absolute BEST genetics for bodybuilding?  Jeez! They have these tiny little waists and just blow up like a damn balloon.  Seems like some of them just sorta show up, throw a few weights around, saunter out an hour (or less) later and have delts that look like basketballs!  WTF!!!!!  Anyhow, just something I have always been frustrated about.  School gets out in four weeks and I am about to chew this desk in half wanting to get back to the gym!!!  Already got the gear lined up and waiting.  Maybe I shoud put up some pics now of me looking horrible then about two months from now looking, well, better.  Who am i kidding, the thought of having less than perfect pics of myself for all the world to see makes me shiver.

Everyone who loves this site should go out and rent it.  It’s quite the eye opener.

I see these poor souls in the gym all the time.  They are wearing some vinyl/plastic suit and working out like a banshee and sweatin their balls off!  Bless their hearts.  All they are doing is dehydrating themselves, raising their body temperature and loosiing electrolytes.  Who ever told ppl this is a way to loose fat???? I’m always scared one of them will go into a seizure from the heat and I will have to take care of them.  But hey, at least they are doing SOMETHING, though it may not be doing anything good.  Guess I should give them credit for trying.  God love em!
