So apparently the new craze is a ample sized chest and arm section with no core or lower body mass to speak of.  This arrogant little pretty came in the gym while I was lifting today and set-up to do bench presses on the smith machine.  He was the model of this craze.  Maybe a 26 inch waist....maybe and legs smaller than my arms, yet his upper body was about on par with myself.  I ignore him at first, not my problem.  Then, while I'm on the ab bench doing crunches with a 100lb dumbell tucked under my chin he walks over to my next station and yanks plates off for his press without saying a word.  I take a breather and whistle and shake my head 'no' (yeah, I'm an ass), he looks at me like I just shaZam! on a crucifix in church and says "what the f%$k you gonna do about it"  At this point I'm wondering how intelligent one has to be to piss off a guy who's repping 495lbs on a base squat/shrug station.  I get off my bench, walk up to him and yank the plate back while pointing to the nearby tower full of free plates.  He makes a dumb f%$k move and yanks the plate back.  I kinda lost my temper at this point and grabbed him by the waist, turned him upside down and walked him back to the base squat and 'requested' he replace the plate I was using.  The moral of the story is:  If you're going to be an unbalanced pretty boy Buddha Loves You, don't f%$k with people that have an easy 60-70lbs of muscle on you and actually have a goal to be stronger instead of pretty.

Ohh and I just started a cutting cycle so my diet consists of whey protein powder, chicken and eggs for the next few days,  I get grumpy when I don't eat normal food.

Terry..............you need to come to the house and let's have a talk...............I mean it..........I ain't bullshitin' ya


I understand that you are a bad mo' fo'............but I don't give a shaZam!........you need to settle your young ass down.

You are starting to get dangerous...............and your ass is gonna end up in the f%$king pen. Get it? Stop it damn it.

Stop "f%$king up". Believe me..............I know what "f%$king up" means.

I like you

Love is in the air...

Wow, thats kinda ballsy.  I just can't believe what people do these days.  I at the same time enjoy guys that are way bigger and expect me at 5'8" to back down to somebody who's 6'2 or bigger.  When a smaller guy like myself puts someone in their place who thinks that they've got a big set it just makes me feel happy inside.  I don't back down anymore and I figure I'll just finish it with a good old fashioned stabbing or bullet to the head.

 :cookoo: :nono:

So much testostarone.

I used to love when I went to the gym during my [bicycle racing] winter training season...small guy like me, all 5ft6, 125lbs getting on the squat machine and pushing out a set of 720#, hahaha...the look on peoples faces was priceless...

Terry is starting to remind me of the movie "blazing saddles". "He" is the entire hired army. From Mongo's strength to all the hired mercenaries. Ridin' in shootin', whuppin', stompin', cuttin', beating the hell out of everyone in sight. You're KILLING ME man!!!!
You've GOT to "turn down that damn thermostat on the temper"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was sitting on the commode one day and my wife stormed in and told me she was scheduling me for anger management classes after she thought that I'd shot the television. Remind me to tell you about that one ......one day.

At present I have a wife that has broken out with the shingles, a 25 year old daughter that has to go in for an exploratory, a 16 year old son, that at times needs throwing off the gable of the house (if I had two arms I might just do that), a weather radio that has been alarming since 5 a.m. telling us we are in imminent danger BUT................I got all the grass cut and weedeaten (thanks to a board member), stocked up on plenty of food, water, canned items, and more ammunition. I've opened up the safe and looked at "all options".
I really can't decide what Smith and Wesson revolver to wear or to go with the series 70 Colt in a basketweave Bianchi field holster with the clothes/outfit that I'll be wearing today. I really need to put my suzuki cover over my snapper???????????? and crack open a regular budweiser..........
Check y'all later if there is a later........at present I see that we have one bad ass dude named Gustav bee lining dead towards our ass!

p.s. Yes the GS500EY is safe and sound  :)

This was actually the first real 'outburst' I've had in a while.  The little snot pissed me off, if you want to play in 'big boy land' ya gotta play by our rules and that includes asking if someone is using a machine before jacking plates off it when there's a full tower nearby.  Unbalanced f%$k probably didn't have the core strength to carry 45lbs more than 3ft. :icon_rolleyes:  The owner of the gym laughed his ass off while he watched the events. 

Pablo: we have some pretty serious cyclists and tri-geeks here and they are always impressive with their leg strength.  Honestly, I probably owe most of my lower body power to my cycling days..........a long time ago.

Bombadillo:  Once I get to pissed off, things end pretty quickly.  One way or another.  He just chose the wrong actions in the wrong place at the wrong time.  I have a feeling by the way he was screaming for me to let go of him that he learned his lesson, but it doesn't matter he was just on a weekly pass anyway so he was most likely a tourist.

Wilson:  stay safe and keep your head low through Gustav.  I have a feeling that if looting is a problem, it won't be one of your probems.  As for you son, just remember it only takes one hand to open up a can of whoop ass and grab a nice leather belt.

oh terry i had guys like u on my team. one was 6foot 8 and 350 lbs.  one time a guy hit my while playing hockey.  jay picked him up off the ice and promptly turned him around and dropped him on his head.

I'm with Terry on this one. I've got a temper on me too, but I think he did the right thing...dude shouldnt have challenged him.

I really hope the gym is empty today.  I've had nothing but chicken and eggs for 2 days and I'm irritable as hell.  I'm almost to the point that I would kill someone for a pizza and some pecan pie.

Happy labor day kids, I'm off to the gym.

Tel?

how on earth did  u find that site?

Wow, the place was packed when I got there and by the time I left there were like 4 people there.  Crappy workout, I hit a wall about 45 minutes in and it took 15 minutes of pure agony to get over it.  Another mother fucker took a plate off my base squat station.  There were f%$king 3 people in the weight area, how hard would it have been to ask especially since the f%$king tower was actually closer to him than the base squat.  I went over while he had the bar in the air and yanked my plate off this time.  He apologized a few minutes later.  I have to get a f%$king belt tomorrow, I'm going to f%$k my back up if I don't.  Of course, if people don't stop being dumbfuck douchebags I'm going to end up beating someone with a f%$king bar.  Should be all clear next time I'm there to lift, most early mornings the only other people there are having personal training sessions and the trainers always know what I'm working.

Found it in my works inbox one day Franko. I am putting my money on one of the office girls who hates men and is something of a bible-basher.

hey terry, did he know you were using that machine currently?

There's an unwritten code amongst 'real' lifters that if plates are on a machine it is being used.  Real lifters ALWAYS re-rack when they're done, if you don't have the energy to re-rack you don't belong anywhere near a base squat or a power rack.

ahhhh gotcha. now i remember. i used to lift during hs, and before, id load teh machine, and after empty it

i haven't ventured into a "free weight" gym since highschool. there is a "free weight" room at our local "y". i generaly just use the machine though. i'm a little nervous bout venturing into the free weights again since i've not got close friends here, people i trust to go with me as spotters. i've never used free weights without spotters. there aren't many people at the "y" when i go.  so for now i'll stick to the machines i'm using. i also have started using an eleptical instead of the treadmill for my cardio.

oh don't be a kitty cat and go into the real part of the gym

yeah Its very agitating that people don't pay attention to etiquette anymore.  Its probably ignorance more than anything, no one cares what anyone who they don't know thinks or cares about anymore, if they would just stop using the 'roids and use a little common sense and ask the world would be a better place ...

1.  No need to fear free weights.  Use dumbells instead of a barbell so even if you can't push up that final rep, you aren't going to get caught with a weighted bar across your chest.

2.  As a frequent beach goer and volleyball player, I've thought that core strength exercises are having a bit of a renaissance.  Most of the better players that train for beach volleyball have six packs.  Yes, I'm jealous. 

3.  While gym etiquette doesn't seem to be great, it sounds like you handled the situation poorly.

1. > Good advice, if no one else is in the room with you then dont go for the bar go for dumbells, if someones in the room they will look out for you as you would for them.

2. > Myself also, Im not a gym buff, never have even been to a gym, i do regular cycling, running and weights at home with my own kit. Nothing serious just keeping in shape. Im well built however have one of those shapes that no matter what you do the 6pack does not show through - its there i can feel it but i dunno without going anorexic for a little while to use up any possible fat on me then i can't see it coming through. I have a muscly shape but the lower half of the 6pack is not there. Also very jealous lol

3. > Agreed, too much testostarone floating around methinks. You seem to get enjoyment from what your body WILL be like rather than enjoying the process to getting your body in good shape. So what if they took a weight off your stack, be calm about it no need to get worked up. Thats how people get killed in stupid bar fights.

Six pack?...I have a 2 liter bottle, which I'm sure will turn into a gallon of milk and eventually be a nice beer belly  :2guns:

I workout when I can find time.  Use free weights, but not super heavy.  I don't imagine I'd be anywhere near the plates that Terry is pushing.  I stay in the women's section and push the 2.5lbs  :laugh:
