Perdon….Gym Etiquette #20
So, I know that the gym culture is different every where you go. I have seen videos of body spacers in their gym with their shirts off working out.But, as you and I both know….the culture of gyms are different every where you go. For instance, we have a gym in the city that doesn’t allow homemade cut off shirts. Well, the gym I work out at is on the campus of a university. Hence my rationale for the following:
Sir, as you can see and you have saw for all of the times you have been in the gym that no one takes their clothes off in the gym unless they are probably in the sauna,steamroom,pool, o rin the locker room changing. Sir, please do not take your shirt off and continue your workout on all of the machines in the gym. 1 I think it is disguisting because that means that instead of your shirt capture the sweat the machine is getting all of it!!! Oh wait….you’re not working out hard enough to sweat…so I guess it doesn’t matter. 2 just because a girl that you seem to like has come into the gym please do not try to hope on all of the machines that will show your muscles flexing….first, you probably need to have a much much much much lower body fat content to even ’show off’ whatever you are suppose to be showing off. Nothing against people who have a high body fat content because everybody is in the gym working towards their personal goal. However sir, It is not Kosher….no you are not starting a trend…by walking around the gym with your shirt off and doing 1 set on every machine. In case you didn’t notice the girl you were looking at has started to look at other people in the gym…and ohhhh they have their shirts on!!!!
For some reason, people decide to do some of the craziest thing. I mean we all learned about context clues in school. If I go to a gym and see people working out with their shirts off…I would be like ‘Okay, that’s whats up..that’s how this gym gets down’. But if I see that NNNOOOOO OONNNEEEE EEEVVVERRRRRRR TAKES THEIR SHIRT OFF after I have been at the gym for some months…I would think…maybe that’s against the rules?!??!?! Am I the only one who thinks like this? Dang!

Nice blog. Speaking of gym Etiquette. The other night I was at the gym and I was so irrated. There were two guys chit-chatting for it seemed like an hour not even using the machines!!!! They would move from one machine to an other.

I was in a gym with a friend of mine as a quest letting help help me with my fourm and there where three guys that would rack up some ungodly amount of weight for there level of fittnes and try to get it off the stand. None of which was able to do it. After almost a hour of hearing screams and cussing these three guys tried to turn the gym into there own personal dance club. This really pissed me off because I came to this gym and paid 10$ to learn something and I felt like I was wasting my friends and my time having to always ask him to repeat what be just said. I guess all I have to say there are ppl that go to gyms to meet goals and ppl like that take away from that.

I guess that dude does that at every gym he goes to. One of these days he’s going to do it at the wrong gym and meet one of my enemies, Mr. Staph infection.
It’ll be sad but hey, an ounce of prevention … well, you know the rest.
