Gym

Look at me now

I’ll admit that I have a little bias about thinking a lot of weight-lifters are self-centered or narcissistic.

That assessment deepens as I observe someone staring at themselves in the mirror even when they’re not actually exercising — which is to say that I get that some body builders want to make sure their “form” looks good as they’re exercising. But that doesn’t explain why they’re still staring at themselves when they’re between sets.

Today I witnessed staring at yourself raised to a whole new level:

I mean the dude brought a selfie stand with him for the occasion. Perhaps he’s an “influencer.” 🙄 What’s next, light stands and hair-blowing wind machines?

When I was younger, I looked forward to getting up early in the morning to exercise. Now, getting out of bed 𝙞𝙨 my exercise.

If you had to choose between eating bacon every day, or being skinny for the rest of your life, would you choose applewood or hickory-smoked?

Three 50-word stories about conversations I fantasize about having with people at the gym.

The rule-breaker The screamers The hottie
Yes you’re correct; I don’t like you. You don’t wipe down the machines after using them. You put your bag on the floor as you move around the gym. I finish 3 machines — 9 sets, 135 reps — while you sit on one using your phone or yammering with your friends. When I see you three guys walk into the gym, I think: “Here comes The Loudlys!” Are any of you hearing impaired? You shout when you talk to each other, and you talk incessantly while you’re here. I shouldn’t be able to make out your conversation clear across the gym. Dude. That sleeveless muscle tank top with the extreme-drop armholes is really working for you. It shows off everything you want to show when you knowingly bend forward at that perfect angle exposing both your pecs and abs. I think we all know that that money shot is no accident.
