Alternatively, passive-aggressively standing very close to someone while they’re parked on equipment with my arms crossed and frequently checking my watch also works. I will also loudly and impatiently ask “HOW MANY SETS LEFT, BRO?” - especially when I see them sitting on the bench scrolling through their phones. If they say “Hey, I’m using that!” I’ll respond with “Doesn’t look like you’re using it right now.” I’ve never run into anyone that continued to complain after I said that. I have no problem going up weight hoarders and asking if I can use the weights they aren’t using at the moment. Always remember, no such thing as a fair fight. But you would definitely open a can of worms like no other.īest plan is be willing and ready to defend yourself. I think most gym users would take an extra second before messing with you, so there is that. I saw a hundreds trainees come and go, some multiple times. Same thing happens when you leave segregation. You get the best of Ol’ Bubba as the gym staff haul you off. The two of you throw down, and by some miracle his pals just hung back. Now let's say you took the more honorable approach and looked Bubba in the eye and told him his mom says hi, and for some reason eats ketchup with her eggs in the morning. They will make you defend the title, so to speak. They want to know exactly how tough you are. Especially since you threw that sucker punch. There are gym regulars just waiting to test you. Next comes the second meeting with Bubba. What now? Say no and incur the wrath of yet another group? Say yes and become an even more of a marked man? You know, the one always bumping heads with Bubba's group. The first person approaches you, he is not a fan of Bubba. Oh yes, everyone knows what happened, you definitely have your 15 minutes of fame. Ready to bask in the glory of your heroic feat. After two weeks banned you're ready to hit the gym again. Magically the staff get there before his buddies pounce like the hyenas from Lion King. You get close, plant your feet and let fly the haymaker from hell. Being Big Man On Campus has given Bubba a group of lackeys (or his other gym members). That's when you notice that Bubba isn't alone. With every step he's looking bigger and bigger. You stroll nonchalantly over towards Bubba. Now it's time for another very important decision sucker punch or announce your intentions first? Bubba has been training for years, lifting weights and getting shitty tattoos. You walk out into the weight room and start looking the biggest, baddest guy you can find. You’re a little nervous, first time training.
