Hmm... which one are you?
I'm willing to bet you're one of the crazy bicep curl guys.
Like many of the guys on here, I'm the lone dead-lifter at my gym. I'm only 5-10, 165 pounds, but I give it my all. I used to max out at 265, until I hurt my back playing basketball.
The crazy thing is, there is one ass wipe who has the nerve to look down on me when I deadlift. He is one of these female orgasm grunters who "ooooohh heee haaas" while he lifts. He gives me dirty looks when I dead-lift, like I'm wasting my time or something with what I'm doing. All the while, he comes in every Thursday night and does lateral press sets and nothing else. Seriously, I watched him do at least 10 sets of lat presses and then leave one night, and he screamed like a woman the whole time.
One time, he walked up to the dead-lift cage when I was there and took a bunch of my weights. I gave him a dirty look, and he smirked and kept walking. I avoided the confrontation, but I was tempted to say something.
He is one of these guys who is about 5-9, 190 pounds and is all bulk (no tone to his muscles, has kind of a gut). All of his muscle is in his shoulders, chest and forearms, and he has chicken legs of course. Yet still, he has the nerve to strut around and take weights from people like he runs the damn gym.
He had some guy in there with him one day who was big and out-of-shape looking. I guess the guy (my nemesis) was helping the fat guy get into shape. I watched and repressed laughter as the two of them did five or six sets of lat presses, then moved on to eight sets of flat bench press and bicep curls.
Also, this obnoxious guy, whenever he is in there, he always has chew tobacco in his mouth and spits in a bottle the entire time he works out. Is this a pretty clear indication that he is on some sort of steroid and needs the chew to keep him relaxed? Me and another guy I workout with are pretty certain of this.
You have no idea how insane this guy makes me. He looks down on me because he is stronger than me in upper body lifts, but I'm like six times the athlete he is. And I don't have a gut like his does, either.
