Two posers and a groaner

[Guest]

Hubby just walked in the door from going the gym and that was his declaration.

Two posers and a groaner

Two posers of college age - they would bench, pose, bench, pose, bench, look at mirror and pose, bench, pose - and with incorrect settings on machines.

And one groaner. Older gentleman, hubby thought he might be giving birth with all the hooing and whewing and huffing and puffing.


Don't you hate it when you finally get the energy to go to the gym and you have to deal with posers and groaners?

Posers are the worst because, at my gym, they sit and stare at themselves in the mirror while on the machines, after they have lifted the weight. There is almost nothing more irritating.

yup, just gotta laff at the guys who oil up their arms and wear stretched "wife-beater" shirts ... then spend more time standing around chattin up the ladies than actually workin' out ... I suspect they have home gyms so that they dont appear as "groaners" in the real world

Except when they come to "help" me with the machines. As if, because I am female, I am oh-so-clueless about how to use the equipment.

Fools.

I'm just a sweater.

I take my glasses off so I can't see the posers or my own reflection. I hate how my face gets all red.

At my gym they chat up the other gym rats.

Depending on my mood and the makeup of the room, I will either ignore them well or have them retreat elsewhere because of some sarcastic comment I've made. Of course, I probably know them, too. The advantage of small town living.

I don't see anything wrong with this. It's just a tactic to meet and impress chicks. No difference in objective from going to poetry readings in hornrim glasses and sports jackets with elbow patches or many other ruses or tactics.

If the people they chat up want to stand around, fine.

But if these posers get in my way or my husband's way when we're trying to keep our workouts going, then it isn't fine.

They often pose while seated on the bench, as Applebiter said. It's difficult to be polite when you are standing and waiting for a piece of equipment and the person is dicking around instead of using it.

Oh, absolutely, I agree. As long as all they are trying to do is chat somebody up, there is no problem. It is entirely possible the people being chatted up are there for the purpose of being chatted up also.

Yep.

My vote for "most annoying" goes to the one who showed up with a mate whom he drafted into helping him attempt (and repeatedly fail) to do curls with weights that were obviously much, much too heavy for him. I imagine that there must have been some thought of looking impressive going through his little pea brain, but trust me, impressive he was not. His greatest accomplishment for the workout was fumbling one of his 90-pound free weights so badly that it nearly landed on my foot.

I just remembered why I exercise at home. Well, besides being poor that is.

Also I can't practice with my sai, kama or nunchucks at the gym.

I like the bird-legs-and-biceps lifters. They're hairy-legged storks who tend to focus solely on bench presses and biceps curls.

My favorite, though, was a guy that I used to work with. He'd go into the college's weight room, set the weight machines so that he'd use the entire stack, and move it maybe four inches per rep. Then he'd pose between sets.

Quite.

Of course, at our house, you're more likely to hear:

"Son! Don't hit your sister with your nun chucks!"

I am hoping your son is using foam nunchucks.

Mine are the hexagonal wooden ones. Amazed my left knee still works. Misjudged a swing once.

Damn.

Hubby and I practice at martial arts but I'm still quite a beginner with those.

Son needed some desperately so we found plastic ones at the dollar store.






By the way, thank you for reading my Valentine story entry, Rob. I made other changes since you've seen it but I'm finally submitting it today.

Don't really like nunchucks. A very tricky weapon. Sai are my favourite.

And you're welcome. It was good. And better, hot!

Do you know I changed it from first to third person?

That caused a bit of major rewriting - but I didn't fuck with the sex scenes. So to speak.

Ah. Looking forward to it when it posts.

Smiling - thank you, Rob.

Hopefully soon - submitted it today.

It's called A Girl Can Fuck, er, Dream.

For a minute there I thought the thread title referred to folks here at Lit. >>>tongue in cheek<<<


There was this guy at my gym in incredible shape, with the stamina of ... pffft, I don't know what. I used to watch him simply because he was a beautiful human being. One day, as I was stretching out after a workout, he comes up to me and starts talking. That beautiful exterior hid an even more beautiful interior. He was a big, black man, born and raised in Mozambique. His name was Cheekahway (spelled phoenetically.) I've never been so complimented or terribly flattered in my life as I was that day. I was disappointed to have to tell him I wasn't single. He wasn't a poser or a groaner, but he did sweat a lot. He was a very neat, very down-to-earth guy --which wasn't at all what I expected given his exterior physcial beauty. Just proves you can't judge a book by it's cover.


P.S. Carson, I'm a "sweater" too. I don't go to the gym to look pretty while I'm working out.

LOL
I gave up on gyms a long time ago. I can't afford them, either financialy or mentally. I went to work out, not to chat up the women or pose in the mirrors. When it got to the point where I could afford to pay for the priveledge of working out I started working out at home. (No I couldn't afford weights either, but I could and can still afford cement, sand and buckets. ) So it's a bit more of a challenge to bench a bar holding either two or four buckets filled with sand, it improves your controll. (They sway don't you know.)

Posing? Hell I don't even look in the mirror to put in my contacts. Moaning and groaning? If I want to hear that I'll tape the sounds from my wife.
