I stopped going to the gym. I got sick of it. I am trying to figure out how to just do basic exercises at home. I will never get big, but I don't care. When I was going, I noticed a few things: 1 - Some people go there mostly to socialize. One idiot kept bothering me during my sets, chatting me up. You're not supposed to bother someone when they are lifting. And then a Thai girl got pissed off because she thought we were wasting time and she was pushing me to get off the machine. Also, the same guy kept going on the treadmill next to me and I was forced to talk to him for an hour each time. I hate treadmills now. 2 - One guy seemed to be there to pick up girls. And I'm sure a lot of guys do it. So that means they extend their sessions to 2-3 hours, lounge around like they're in a bar. 3 - A fight nearly broke out once and one guy was making a facial gesture to me to join in and help him. Screw that. You need to be careful. If you piss off the wrong blockhead, it can turn into violence in there. 4 - Maybe 3 or 4 in 10 guys are muscular. A lot of guys are fat or too skinny. Not sure what they're doing, but the training doesn't seem to be working. Even the guys who are muscular, some of them smoke and eat junk food and probably do steroids. I did see 2 guys injecting themselves in the bathroom. 5 - Some guys push themselves too hard and have injuries. That's one thing I was worried about. Many people have not been taught properly how to train. Going to failure each and every set and lifting as much as possible all the time may not be the best way to train. 6 - I noticed way more Thai girls than guys at that gym, for some reason. Some of these girls are working hard to stay slim and toned.
