Gym Rats

I've been working out in different gyms since around the 4th grade (swim team holla at me). And I have always noticed how certain types of people seem to exist in every gym in this country.

BIG HEAD, LITTLE FACE: Big Head, Little Face is a big dude. And he wants everyone around to know he's big. Whether he lets u know by the gallon jug of water he brings with him to the gym, the grunts and snarls he unleashes while deadlifting, or the Zoomba pants. He just wants you to know.

THE ENTOURAGE: This is that group of 4 0r 5 dudes that came to the gym together, but only one of them actually wants to work out. And they let u know this by congregating around the gym's one and only incline bench - right when u need it - and acts like you're inconveniencing them, when you ask them to move.



THE COUPLE: The couple comes in various shapes and sizes, but is usually a man and woman who are dating, engaged, or married; that like to work out at the same time. Now don't get me wrong, I've considered going to the gym with my boo before, but that shit doesn't go down for several reasons.

1. Does your girl really need to see you struggling to bench
135
, when there are high school kids throwing that around like its nothing?

2. What do you say when other guys are oogling your girl?
(Assuming she's fine, I mean mine is, I'm just asking about yours.)

3. How do you explain to her you getting caught oogling other
girls???


All this could be avoided by leaving her ass at home -
just sayin.

GLORY DAYS: Glory Days can actually be a pretty cool dude. He's an older guy who likes to reminisce about how thing used to be. A simpler time when football players were smaller, baseball players were clean, and oogling white women was a punishable offense. Glory Days starts fucking up when he just talks too much, other than that he's a cool ass dude.


SPOT-MAN: This is the dude who works out like 3 times a year, but wants to lift hella weight - because nothing equals fitness like pulling a muscle. So this nigga always needs a spot, so many in fact, you can't do your workout for helping his ass.
