Gym Thoughts on a Saturday

Ive been gone for a little while, so I decided to return with a few nuggets of greatness. Ive been going to the gym alot lately. A whole lot. Im starting to see what the effects of binge drinking and wolfing down plates of hot wings can do to ones body and im not liking it one bit. I used to be able to eat anything & just balance it out by working out. These days im finding that you have to work out twice as hard to keep that beer gut from rearing its ugly head. DAMN!! Anyhow here are a few gym observations:

No Shower?!!!

For lunch, instead of stuffing my face with God knows what, (no homo), I started to work out at the gym on site at my place of employment. It feels good to get a nice 45 min workout in during the day and not have to worry about it when you get off. Well, on this particular day, I was surprised to find three of my out of shape co-workers in the gym working out. I thought it was pretty cool and gave them each a high five as I made my way into the locker room to change. So Im in the locker room taking my HGH, and these guys all walk in looking like they just completed the hardest workout in history. These guys were sweatin like cave men. It was pretty gross. Im not gay or anything, but if i ever get so far out of shape that a puddle of sweat can rest on top of my belly [like these guys], youll be reading about me in the obituary, after i kill myself. Anyway, after seeing all this, I looked at my watch and it was only 11:30. I was like damn, you guys came down here at ten thirty to work out? [most people take an hour lunch, so i just assumed they took an early one.] One of my heavyset co-workers informed me that they only take thirty minute lurches. Im sure i gave him the dumb face, because in my mind, I was thinking, "What the hell could they do in thirty minutes that would have these guys sweating like wild beasts? I didn't even have time to think this thought thru before I saw the unthinkable: They were putting their work clothes on without taking showers. WTF!!! I just stood there in stunned silence. Im not sure what shocked me most, the fact that these sweat hogs were "towling" the sweat off to put on deodorant or the fact that they seem completely comfortable with not showering. It was so gross man, I almost threw up out of both ends! It was funny because the other day on the ticket, Donavon [ of BAD radio], was telling listeners how his uncle thinks white people smell like sweaty gym socks....... im guessing he saw many cases of this madness that I witnessed. Not showering after a workout is pretty bad. Not showering after a workout and then going back to work is borderline insanity!!! Where do these people come from???

Ed Hardy

I went to workout at LA Fitness today and I saw a guy working out in an Ed Hardy t-shirt. For those of you who dont know, these t-shirts go anywhere from $60 bucks to $140, depending on how complex the design on the shirt is. I usually dont analyze male gym attire, but this floored me. What was more puzzling was the fact that the sleeves were cut off. Damn. All I could think of was, "What does this guy do for a living". When you can go to the store and buy a $100 "gym shirt" & cut the sleeves off, life must be pretty good.

Gym Weirdness

I may have to start going back to LA Fitness on the regular. Ive been getting weird looks from people at the gym at work. Maybe its me being paranoid, but im sure that people think im on roids or something. I have pretty intense workouts during my lunch. Really intense these days as work has sucked ass lately. So I just take my frustration out on the weights. So after a set of anything fairly heavy, ill look up and see about 3 people turn their heads really quick as if they weren't just staring at me. I feel like im the lunch time entertainment. Im just waiting for someone to say "Here lift this treadmill", or something else crazy. I swear they look at me like im Barry Bonds or something. This is the main reason i stopped working out at work in the first place: too many "suspicious" eyes on me. I do take supplements, mostly protein, but i get scared to let anyone see me take them. I guess im being paranoid......


Till next time.....
