The Copycats…sigh
You know when you’re in the gym and working your butt off, when all of a sudden you can feel somebody’s retinas burning a hole in your head like they’re Superman or something? You look over and notice its some guy who’s mentally sizing you up. The funny thing is, he’s not big or intimidating at all. I bring this up b/c I had a run in w/ him today @ the gym.
I’m at home for Thanksgiving Break, so I go up to workout and its Legs and Biceps day. The copycat doesn’t show up while doing squats (lol, of course) but when I’m done w/ legs and move into Biceps the copycat shows up full force. I start to barbell curl, he starts to barbell curl. I’ll usually curl 95lbs or so w/ a curl bar, so when I see this guy who’s about 150lbs soking wet, I just have to see this. He starts off to curl the exact same weight I use w/ the worst form you’ve ever seen. I just wait to hear him slip a disc or something. I move on to hammer curls w/ 55lb. DBs and guess what, copycat picks up 55s as well to "show me up" lol. With a motion that mimmicks the Lollipop kids in The Wizard of Oz, I laugh under my breath at his attempt.
You wanna know the killing part? After every set, copycat would glance over at me in a way like "I could do that too" or "That wasn’t so hard" kind of look. Copycat is also the same guy who lifts his shirts up after every set to see his abs and shops at Baby Gap to make himself appear "big". This guy makes me laugh everytime I go home. Thanks for the laughs Copycat.
