    Default When people talk to you in the gym..what do you do?

    Your mid-workout and someone ya haven't seen in a long time or someone random strikes up a conversation with you...all you wanna do is get through your workout...what do you do?

    I tend to carry the conversation till it gets to the point where I've really gotta get stuff done and I'll just be like hey "let me get your number and I'll hit ya up later, I've gotta finish this up" or "let me give u a buzz sometime, I've gotta finish and get outta here" or something along those lines...

    I HATE it whenever somebody comes and talks to me...
    Makes me wanna wear my ipod like everybody else in the gym lol...

    And this is the story i got for ya'll...

    So this guy use to be a body builder and started to shed weight cause he's going on this cruise or some sh!t...
    So i've talked to him before about gaining weight and wat not...
    Couple months later he asks me to spot him so i did and my roomate was with me cause we work out every day and all the sudden he says "Ya'll should do my workout if you wanna get bigger" ....
    (Turned and walked away)

    Not to forget seeing all the acne on his back would sure make me think of ROIDS!!!

    It depands on the individual person. If it's some kid in HS than I would just @ them and keep going. If a guy who looks like he knows what's he's doing. I might be nice and maybe ask him for a spot. If it's a chick...stop everything I'm doing!

    If they are bothering me 4 a spot, I usually let the bar roll towards their throat and tell them to lift or die.......they usually dont bother me after that

    I keep the conversation short. Not gonna be an ass to them, but I won't sit and catch up for 10 minutes.

    I tell them to stop laughing at me...

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    I chat for a sec then ask them to spot me with really light weight. I proceed to grunt as if I'm lifting a Volkswagen & scream at the top of my lungs, "SPOT ME! SPOT ME DAMNIT!!!"
