At the beginning of the year, my work cut the gym subsidy they had been providing for the last 7 years. It sucked. I went from getting free gym (or paid to go to the gym courtesy of a health care “healthy living” plan) to paying $49.95 a month. That sucked. They said they could do away with it because our complex has a free fitness center. Ok, it was free, and it wasn’t super trash. Think of it as one step up from Planet Fitness but with equipment from 20+ years ago. Most of you would shun it because the dumbbells only go up to 95 lbs, and there is not one curved barbell in the entire place. Mostly, older sales people from a different building use it to run on the ancient treadmills or super ancient stair masters. These people suck. Granted, there are two or three nice ladies, a couple of quiet, keep-to-themselves types, but it’s all overwashed by these 3-4 super douches. I think you know the type. It’s particularly worse in the gym. Imagine 4 dudes trying to one up each other in the gym, but each dude is super fuckin weak. Yeah. That means I have to wait while four dudes attempt to out pull up each other. Usually the young guy who can squeak out 6 pull ups wins. It’s just painful. And the banter is just awful.
Dude #1: “I was in Barbados last week and I did the best calf exercise ever. My calves still hurt. Let me show you.”
Dude #2: “I don’t need your exercises, my calves are excellent.”
Dude #1 calves look like deflated basketballs. Dude #2 calves look like rotton pumpkins. It’s not good.
So I’ve decided, I need to get these guys to clear back from me some. They don’t listen to words, as evidenced by the above exchange. So I’ve turned to wearing tanktops to the gym. I’m not saying I’m shredded. Because obviously, I’m not. But I do have chest tattoos, and that’s enough of a taboo for these old guys to think I’m “crazy.” Lately, they’ve been working like a charm. So if you’ve got size large tanks, let me know. I think I need some more. Shout outs to Sam Triple B and the Triple B Tanktop.
