I'd rather go to a bro gym than one of these stuck up douche gyms I'm finding around here. Slack jawed so and so's.
At the YMCA I used to go to people would put their weights back, because there was this little old lady at the desk that would give you The Look if you didn't. No amount of Dudeflex can stand up to The Look.
You can't flex nuts against that look. Lose everytime. They need that around here.
You can't get a good, serious workout in a Planet Fitness. You need a dudebro gym for inspiration. Big fish little pond and all that. Besides, I'd rather train next to some guy screaming his brains out with full-on effort than some sissy with a bad dye job doing curls with 5lb dumbbells while hitting on a 70 year old grandma in bike shorts.
You need a primitive attitude if you're hoping to make any real progress in the gym. And honestly, most of the dudebros are much nicer and more helpful than you expect.
I found some SERIOUS powerlifters gym, but I'm not ready for that shit yet. :(
I've met a lot of people who have been really helpful and just volunteer information on my bad form and whatnot.
I've also seen people doing some terrible things but have never said a word to them. Why would they listen to some fat guy?
People at my gym don't volunteer anything. I think it's just more of a northeast thing though.
It is pretty douchey up there.
I'm at my gym on a Saturday. I don't like it, it's 10:30am and it's already getting crowded. That's why I usually just stick to weekday mornings...it's perfect then.
Mzo- I'm glad to see that you're working hard at improving your health. If you stick with it you'll continue to feel better and better, both physically and mentally.
Plus you'll feel real sexy, too.
My favorite thing now is a push up with a medicine ball under each hand
