Tales from the gym...
One of my New Years resolutions was to get back in the gym and get myself back into shape. So January 1st I joined the Ballys down the street and Ive been hitting the gym religiously 3 times a week.

There are guys who waltz in, lift what is cleary way too much for them (usually with horrible form) and then strut around they've done something. More concerned with looking like a badass than actually doing a decent workout.

The "I Gotta Be Uncomfortably Sexies"
These are the women who supposedly come in for a good rough workout, but come out of the dressing room with two faces worth of makeup on, their hair DOWN instead of up, every piece of jewelry they own still on and their stomachs out to show the dreadfully uncomfortable looking belly-ring that probably pokes the living shit out of them while doing sit-ups. Key signs of a "I Gotta Be Uncomfortably Sexy" are the women who are on the treadmill, mascara and foundation running down their face, hair plastered to their necks and ears due to the sweat, and these banging pair of earrings slapping them in their eyes. Sometimes they look good but most times they look like fools.

The "Say It Loud, I'm Strong and I'm Proud'ers"These are the men who are swollen to the point where their necks look like coat hangers, have absolutely no ass and their attire strictly consists of tank tops, cheerleading short-shorts, slouch socks with Timberland boots and those strange looking ( ... )

Key signs of a "Say it Loud, I'm Strong and I'm Proud'er" is the dude with five 45 pound plates on each side of the dumbbells, grunting and screaming his reps SO LOUD you can hear them through your headphones, damn near dropping the dumbbells through the floor after his reps, where he then proceeds to walk around with his head down and arms spread at his sides like he's Superman.
Man that is OH SO TRUE!!!

*co-sign* Except...most of the ones I see wouldn't break a sweat if their lives depended on it. THAT would mess up their make-up.

And for more reference on that point, check David Banner's "Play" video.
And all of THAT--my friends--is why I go to the Y; no one there gives a good got DAMN what you look like, so long as you don't block the weights while their doin' reps.

They may not have on make-up...but they dang sure have on some midriff-baring shirt/sports bra and some tights. They get on the nautilus machines that bring attention to them (i.e. hamstring curl) and lift the lightest weight possible to give the impression that they are working out. Then they spend the rest of their time flirting with the male gym staff.
WORD TO THE WISE...If you are going to use the stationary bike or anythin else that you have to sit on...it is HIGHLY advisable to clean off the seat before using it. I've seen WAAAAAYYYY too many chicks work out in thongs, g-strings, or commando (like that little panty strip in exercise tights actually count as panties).
