Is there anything more pathetic than a guy who has to have the attention of every other dude in a gym? Anybody that has worked out for a considerable amount of time has experienced this phenomenon. First you have the juicers who try to actually strip down to workout… I guess they need to air out the pores or something I dunno. Then you have the guys who (typically aren’t that big) who want the entire gym to know what they’re doing. These guys are always talking to someone really loudly about their workout, cause you know the music is THAT loud, that they have to shout it out to the world. They slam the weights, scream out battlecries and stare at anyone who gives them the time of day.

Mr. Loud Weightlifter Guy we hate you. We really do and before you start imagining me as some mouth breathing nerd-rager, I should clarify that I frequent the gym. With little over 15 years of weight lifting and athletics I can personally testify to this individual and the fact that everyone except the schmuck he’s talking to is laughing at him. Its quite fine to be pumped up for lifting but there is a difference between pumping oneself up and postering for attention. Please do us all a favor and shut the hell up. If you need an example of how you appear to people, observe the next video:

Ya… exactly.
