At Globo Gym, We're Better Than You. And We Know It.
Let's talk about gym, though, seriously.
I joined a gym sometime in the final quarter or so of last year. I'm 20 years old, about 186cm tall (I think that's like 6'2") and before I joined I weighed 56kgs Now I'm up to roughly 60kgs, but I find it all pretty hard. I think eating properly is the hardest thing for me, as in it's hard for me to get used to eating the amount of food I should be to put on weight. I mean when I wake up in the mornings (usually around 10-11am, because I'm at uni and I work nights) I'm not hungry. I could go a good hour after getting up without eating. But I digress.
How long have you been going to the gym? What music do you listen to whilst at gym? What are some funny stories associated with you being at the gym? What's your program like? How much weight do you lift? How far do you run on that treadmill? Have you tried to do your own OK Go video? Do you use protein supplements? YOU GOT A DOOR? YOU GOT A GYM!
Hopefully this thread will generate some good discussion, we all would like to see each other happy in themselves and happy with their bodies I'm sure.
To start the ball rolling, I will regale you with a story about this absolute wanker that works out at my gym. He is one of those people who walks around like he owns the gym. He starts with push ups. He smashes out about 20 or 30 in no time at all, and then throws the discs he was using half way across the room. And whenever he does weights, no matter how light the weight (though he's much bigger than I am, we actually do similar weights on a few exercises) or how few reps he's done, he roars and moans and grunts. As he nears the end of a set, he starts banging his foot on the ground (which you're not meant to do) to pump himself up, I guess. Now I know everyone grunts a bit when doing weights, you're meant to exhale, it helps, but this is just ridiculous. It's very distracting. Maybe in about 10 years when I'm a bit bigger I'll be able to punch him in the face.
