Why do people at the Gym compete on machines?!
Question: like last time I worked out, I was on the tread mill doing my pre-determined routine interval session, some muscle head dude gets on gets to me (walking) at my own time I start my run cycle and like 5 seconds later he started too. Not only that he sped up a bit faster to kinda "show me up".
So 10 mins later my run is finished and I do a 5 min cool down then leave to stretch in the room behind. He's still running full tilt as I leave (in shame right?!) but I do a quick stretch and come out again..HE'S GONE! LOL so was it all "show"?? why do people try to compete on these things?

I work out at the local Gold's gym...everyone in there seems to be in their own zone...they don't care about anyone else or what they're doing...I see a lot of people lifting with terrible form..some to the point they will injure themselves but I don't correct them and neither do the trainers who are all over the place...I'm a personal trainer as well, but I don't work there so I don't offer any advice..There are some really huge guys lifting there..They do flat benches with 120's in each hand...more power to them....I don't go that heavy. I'm there for my plan just as your are...don't worry about what anyone else does...
To pick up the fine, fit women at the gym. Alpha dog gets the b***hes, etc. etc.
yeah thats just the way some people are
pretty lame of course
It's in our beings.We are born competitive.We feel like we need to show off to other people.We feel like we need to prove something to a complete stranger.If not than maybe they are trying to get you to work out more.Maybe they thought you needed more exercise.Maybe!Who Knows!
What a jock. Must of been for show.
This pisses me off when I see people try to show other people up. What I've noticed, though, is that most of the time, the person trying to show off isn't very good at what he's trying to show off at.
Next time some retard comes up and tries to one-up you, you could one-up him back if you wanted. That's what I do (except with weights). Or you could just ignore it. They never realize that everyone hates people that act like that.
