My gym has some characters that would turn you into a serial killer. Just monday someone decided to take plates off the BB while I was inbetween sets so they could do sidebends, only to not return them. Keep in mind, they were probably 5" from a weight tree. You're lucky you can workout at home to save you from that crap.

zeke, I lift @ my schools gym as well. there are some real ****ing morons. I had my box set up and 275 on the bar and went to piss, and someone started to unload it to do curls. I walk up and had to hold myself back from going postal on the kid. Needless to say I crushed that squat.

theres really bad cases at my gym, I'm sure theres worse ones at real gymsto lol.

funny story, kinda.

Everyone was being kicked out of the gym so the class could come in and do cardio (****ing bitchs anyhow). And I was the last guy out. I was doing clean and jerks and the one worker student comes over
"you gotta get out"
"I got til 2, so I got 3 minutes"
"sherri says now"
"if you set this place on fire and I was in the middle of a workout, I'd finish it. I'll leave @ 2."

If you have a Vitamin Shoppe nearby check them out. Their prices are better than GNC, and you can haggle with them as well.

Yup, university gyms are the worst. Followed closely by fitness center "gyms".

Although the good thing about either is once I get annoyed it usually ends up being a more intense training session.

i only have GNC's and vitaminworlds in my area. Plus a few mom and pops that overcharge like madmen.

oh, and my schools gym is technically called "NCC Fitness Center"

I've been having a lot of those days lately. Sucks, don't it? But hey, I'm losin some weight at least.

How's your mega cut going for ya?

**romanaz** · 03-25-2007, 01:03 PM

its going alright, I had a cheat meal yesterday (party, pizza was the BEST food there, sad I know), and I went up a bit, but I can cardio today if I need to, to lose that 2lbs. I dropped a bit, but its steadying out right now. I drop weight in spurts, 3 weeks nothing, 1 week OMG 5lbs

**DJSTARER** · 03-25-2007, 11:28 PM

i'll be hitting the bench RE myself this evening. Probably my least fave thing to do. It shows how incredible out of cardiovascular shape I am.

werd, its not to much fun, and specially with no spotter. I would have gone for 70 reps or so, but it was either get stapled to the bench (forgot to move spots up) or cut it at 50.

u don't do and conditioning w/ sleds or anything?
