I gotta count the number of people at the gym who made a new years resolution to join my gym and work out. I spot them by the new running shoes that someone got them for Christmas, but they are wearing brown/blue/black socks!

Saw a new guy today at my local Y that I could tell knew what he was doing. He started talking to me after seeing me do some squats and we began talking. Turns out he was a former O-lifter who at one point qualified for worlds in his 30s. He gave me some pointers on my squats / PC's and was very impressed with my squat form. Nice guy. Hope to run into him again, although I went to the gym much earlier than usual due to NYE. This was a breath of fresh air from all the quatter squatters usually hogging the cage.

How common is it juicing amongst non pro athlete men/women? If I see someone at the gym who looks like they might be roiding (someone very big but not a hehastobeonroids level physique), how likely is it they're on the juice?

I think that's a "drop the mike and walk off the thread" moment. Impossible to top.

I find the people who rag on people in the gym after making New Year's resolutions 10x more annoying than the resolutioners themselves.

I rag on the concept of Resolutions. If you're determined to make a real change, you'd have started back when you thought of it. Waiting for an arbitrary date is like "Imma quit smoking once I finish this carton" which really means "I'll never quit".

My only issue with people crowding the gyms is just that, crowding. I ****ing hate having to wait for a bench or squat rack. This is especially galling if the guy isn't doing an exercise that necessitates the bench or squat rack (curls, et al).

At least he's letting that hot air soften up them bristles. Don't want no razor rash up in here.

Going from 300-400 to 1100-1200 test levels makes a world of difference.

and since i'm in the complaining mode. Guy a couple of days ago doing dead lifts beside me. loads up 3x45 and 2x25 per side. does his sets and leaves his weights still loaded on the floor.

2 workers come by and start to unload the weights(first time 4 this 2).
guy comes back because he forgot a strap. Workers ask if he was using the weights.
he says yes and just walks away.

no 1 in this damn gym puts there weights back. Its crazy/annoying
