Thinking about comparing...

We saw the jokesters in the gym again Friday. They kept glancing over at us but no more jokes. Just some whispers back and forth which is fine. I’m not going to compare myself to them anymore as they were bouncing the bar off of their chests. Not good form. Can’t see how doing that would be very comfortable either.

Then they kept adding ten plates to each side and bragging loudly about what they were lifting. (I heard them halfway across the weight area- probably 30-40 ft away). Other men similar in size were lifting multiple 45s on each side and were pointedly ignoring these jokesters.

So while I’m not going to try and get to their incline lifts, I did glance over and realized I use the same amount of weight on the seated calf machine as these guys. Made me feel good about my little calves lol. Restrained myself and didn’t ask to cut in. ;)

Also, hubby had a woman staring at him so hard she almost ran into a machine as she walked by. Kinda funny. Just kept working out and waiting for it to happen again but nope, she just set herself up nearby and watched him in the mirror lol.

That's so weird to me!

Princess, which part is weird? :)

I guess just the fact that you have bullying at your gym. 😂

I think in their minds they are hot shit when in reality they aren’t all that and a bag of chips lol. They want to draw attention to themselves for some reason. Kind of like the guys who moan and grown loudly as they workout. Of course some of that is because they are struggling I think. I personally want to avoid attention. I get self conscious when I notice people watching me.

Lol I can picture that! These guys started with just a bar and then 10# then 20# and so on. Ended with 120#

I've seen the bouncing on the chest. At our very first gym- when Diablo and I were still dating- this guy was bouncing the bar off his chest- I think trying to impress me- IDK but I was watching the plate slide over and over toward the end of the bar. I should have let it fall off but I told him before it slipped. So maybe he was unevenly lifting it, too? IDK- never saw that again.

I try not to make much noise but I have had my ear buds in and then forgotten to turn the music on- sadly that has happened a handful of times- where something seems to be missing but I can't quite put my finger on it- LMAO- and then I'll hear my own heavy breathing. This guy I call WAR at the gym has no music on and I feel bad because I am a gum popper. I crack it loudly and proudly which wouldn't be noticed for those with headphones on. I feel self conscious working out next to him. Unsure why I am writing so much on your post... paragraph after paragraph after....

Feel free to write all you want! Lol on the guy trying to impress you. Did he see who you were with? Or was D is little guy back then? I’d have told him the plate was faking off too ;). I used to suck on jaw breakers. When they get smaller I chew on them and it kind of sounds like grinding teeth I’m told. It bothered hubby so now I don’t bring them.

Dp! We are really soooo much alike. I cannot workout without gum!!!! I crack and pop it too! 😂 I love gum. I drive my fam nuts sometimes. We must be related or something! 💕

Days of Our Lives at the gym :0)

DP, I meant no disrespect on my D comment. Just that if I was a man I’d be afraid to hit on you with him around lol. He’d pound me into the ground hehe.

That's a funny scene. 😆

I was there alone and that's hardly something I could prove. Just seems like since it was only me and this guy, my guess was he was looking to impress...or that's how he does bench press. Lol. This was nearly 20 years ago. Yes wifey - we have much in common! ❤️

That seals it. I'm coming to visit ... bringing pizza AND popcorn. Better than a movie!

Come on over Bella. There’s some decent eye candy at the gym too lol. At least hubby says some of the guys are ripped. I haven’t really looked at anyone other than the few we say hi to. I’ll make sure you don’t run into anything while you look around :D.

Me staring at ripped guys is kinda like reading a recipe book when there's no food in the house..
