You're right. Then all the young shy guys can shower wearing their shorts or swim trunks and think it normal - LOL

Do your genitalia look like a small nose on a round face?

You know, we don't really care if you look or not and we certainly don't care about looking at you. We revel in the fact that we are just guys who don't have to worry about such silly things anymore.

+1.

We had a guy like this...we called him "The Kicker". Although I never even saw him touch the weights...and his punching/kicking were done with no form whatsoever. Somehow he was buddies with all the regular 'top-tier' lifters at the gym.

What about the guys who, after each set (usually getting up from some sort of chest exercise) lift up their shirts and check out/flex their abs in the mirror for everyone to see? Like, between EVERY set. And they aren't even working their abs.

I saw someone mention 'jacked' as a term to describe someone who is ripped/buff...remember using 'yolked' and 'swoll' (did I even spell those correctly)? Or do people still use those terms?

My biggest pet peeve in the gym is seeing some jackass load up the bar and do heavy cheat-curls with it. The worst offender in my gym would get so much more from his membership if he got on the damn treadmill and just tried to lose some weight but instead he insists of slapping on the 45's and swinging the damn thing around. It's a wonder he doesn't bruise the back of his head of the ground he cheats so badly.

I always suggested that they use a little more calve and lower back, try and do a wave.
