But Seriously...
- Ways To Look Cool In The Gym (you know who you are):
-
- Grunt. Not just every now and then, but with every rep
(no matter what you're doing, including wrist curls) let out
a resounding HAAAUUNNH! Don't worry if people
look at you strangely, they're just jealous because they
aren't as vocally impressive.
- If there's only one squat rack in the gym, use it to do
bicep curls. After all, you're SO big that you really need
that added protection and anyone waiting to do squats
won't mind waiting because they want you to be safe.
- Bring four or five friends to work out with you and spend
at least a half-hour monopolizing each piece of
equipment. If someone you know walks by, make sure to
invite them to join you. Under no circumstances allow
anyone else to get on the equipment though, you don't
want to break your momentum.
- Pose. After each and every set, stop to admire yourself
in the mirror.
- Don't, under any circumstances, bring a towel. It's
hilariously funny to see another gym user slip in a puddle
of your sweat and fall on their butt.
- If a woman comes into the weight room, make sure to hit
on her. She couldn't possibly be interested in lifting
weights to improve her phsyique. She's obviously there to
look for a man, probably you.
- Focus on your chest, biceps, and shoulders. Don't work
on any other body parts, especially not your legs. Nothing
else matters.
- (My personal favorite) Even though you're at 30% body fat and your six pack is
buried behind everything else in the fridge, feel free to
walk around the gym giving people training tips. Trust
me, it means a lot coming from you.
- If you feel like stretching out a little bit, feel free to use
any open space in the weight room. People don't mind if
you're blocking an aisle or their way to a machine. After
all, it's important for a lifter to remain limber.
- Drop the barbells to the floor whenever you're done with
your set, and let the stacks on the machines slam
together. It draws attention to you and there's nothing like
being the center of attention.
- The people who work at the gym mop the floors, windex
the windows, vacuum the carpets, take out the garbage,
and clean the toilets. Since they don't have enough to do,
make sure you leave your equipment all over the weight
room, so they can put everything back and really earn
their $5.00 an hour.
