the conversations I used to hear in West Hollywood were quite interesting. We would all stare at each other with WTF faces after hearign some of the shit that was being said.

Don't underestimate your imagination paired with the right exercises you achieve one muscelar goal after another!
Check out calesthenics, I can only speak from my own experience...unbelievable gains as body weight exercises do force you to get on in shape...
With just one freaking trizeps workout your complete upper body gets in shape in no time!
With getting in shape Iam not talking about, some definition...you guys turn into supermans. Mark my words and now get the hell out of here nd get them trizeps BURNING!!!!!

Imagination is key with the TRX, always experimenting with new ways to stress my body.
I am oblivious to anyone or anything around when in the zone. Have ended a session and caught several people standing watching what I was doing.
One young lady described it as "you looked like you were floating"

So I hopped on the stair master today, had my headphones on and doing my thing. These two guys hopped on the ones directly to my left and right (the only ones free). I guess they knew each other because they kept talking to each other with me in between them.

That sucked

1. body stink
2. guys wearing sunglasses
3. people speaking loudly on their earbuds/ phone cord

Yesterday at the gym an older guy (prob about 55-60) was jumping around from machine to machine doing one set on each getting his nasty ball sweat all over everything then moving along. Not cleaning off the machine or anything.

So one of my main gripes are people that are too damn lazy to spend 5 seconds to wipe off a bench, machine, etc. after using it.
Followed by the post above me, x2 about stinky mother fukcers.

I'm only 49, whippersnapper. And I was outside on the muscle beach

Going to the gym, sweat is just part of the process. Does it really make any difference if the seat is a bit drier? Whatever socially communicable disease I have is still going to be there, dry or not. NOBODY is walking around with a bottle of bleach and fresh towels.

I hate it when girls lift more than me?

Every gym I have been to has paper towels and cleaner to wipe down the equipment (mainly seats) after using them. So no I don't want to sit in a pool of someone else's sweat.

Ass sweat seat print is just gross. So is bench sweat soul glo. Maybe I'm not old school and ignore sweaty seats but I also don't like getting MRSA.

I looked all over my gym last night, no such supplies. Even the bathroom only has hand dryers.

I don't leave a "pool" anywhere, but I'm not disinfecting every surface I touch either. Does it make you feel better if I use my shirt and wipe off the pool?

Uncle, either you goto one of those "serious" gyms or you goto a place that is "green". Lol.

Btw, one time at the Crunch in Chelsea a buddy of mine grabbed the sauna door handle and it was covered with a sticky white substance.

It was probably from too much grip AFTER it got hot and steamy...

It was a Gold's now it's World or something.

I have a very rigorous selection criteria: the closet one to my house, so I don't have THAT excuse not to go. It's just over 1 mile now.
