Wait... You are what?
I'll never understand some people...
I've talked about this before but for the new people in the blog my hobby is bodybuilding!
No! I'm not a huge steroid-freak guy! I'm just a normal guy that likes fitness. That likes to push heavy weights. That likes to eat like a fat man and not get in a "round" shape!
I go to the gym almost every day! It's not that hard to be honest... Especially when you have good friends in the gym! I workout and talk with them when I'm resting! I take my fitness very seriously because our bodies are our greatest asset! And that is why I'll never understand some people...
Yesterday I was in my gym, just like any other day! Just pushing weights around, getting a pump, thinking about life, and I started smelling something... At first, I thought my nose was pulling tricks on me, why... would I... be smelling alcohol in a gym!
Maybe it was some alcohol that was still stuck in my body from my old days! Back when I was a huge drinker! Before I joined the gym! Maybe I had some alcohol molecule just going around my body... That would have explained so many things! But no...
I looked around and there it was...One of the new gym goers was incredibly drunk!
This guy had just joined the gym a few weeks ago! A Brazilian guy! I don't know where the hell he got it but that dude has some serious genes in him! Never worked out a day in his life and he was already big and ripped! Anyone that would look at him would think "Damn... this dude must do some serious lifting" but no! He never worked out before!
This dude was going from machine to machine, drunk as a skunk, pushing weights around! His breath smelled of alcohol! He almost tripped and fell down sometimes! He didn't have a workout plan, he was just doing whatever he liked!
He talked to me for 5 minutes, after those 5 minutes I think I was drunk from smelling his breath!
Who the hell thinks: "I should go workout drunk!"? Really, I'll never understand... Well, now that I'm thinking, it's better to workout drunk then to not workout at all... I've worked out with an hangover, but never drunk!
And the worst part is that this dude is drunk, never worked out, and still has a ripped body! How does that even work! Maybe it's because he is a construction worker...I guess all that sun and all that hard working really pay off! Maybe I should cancel my gym subscription and go work as a construction worker! At least I would be paid for working out!
When the Brazilian guy tried to leave the gym he actually went and tried to leave through the bathroom, the receptionist laughed and had to tell him that the way out wasn't there... Well, at least he didn't mistake the girls bathroom for the guy's bathroom, that would have been really really bad...
Now, the thing is, this is not the first time this happens! I've actually met more drunk people in my gym! I guess it's normal since I workout in a low budget low maintenance garage/warehouse... Even the receptionist was drunk at a point! I can't blame the guy... he was single and was going out every night!
I'm not judging drinking I also like to party, but still... working out drunk! I would never have that crazy idea! I think... If I do, take me to a doctor ASAP!

I can't say that I've ever seen someone working out while drunk. It seems like there's something going on there if you're seeing a lot of people working out while drunk, and if the receptionist is drunk. Maybe they should start an alcoholics anonymous there. Or at least make you take a breathalyzer before you operate the heavy machinery. Someone could get seriously hurt. Maybe not the drunk person either. It could be a bystander. What a crazy world!
I actually never thought of this! The guy might get seriously injured if he tries to bench press with more then he should! while being drunk! We all know how we are when we are drunk, i always try to do things that I am not able to do!
It only happened once, he smelled of alcohol, but he was doing his job fine, that is why i didn't tell the owner, if he actually did something that he shouldn't do i would have told the owner... I didn't want the poor guy to lose his gf and his job in the same exact week :P
Yeah, that would have sucked.
I would actually be more worried about the people around the drunk gym member. If someone is driving drunk, that's their choice. I hope they don't get hurt, but if they do, that's the consequences of their actions. It's the other people that I worry about. They're just going about their day and can get hurt because someone else is being selfish and stupid by doing dangerous activities while inebriated.
Just a week ago there was someone killed on the freeway sort of close to me. It was because a drunk person drove the wrong way and hit them head on. The drunk person was fine, but they killed someone in the other car. It's terrible.
Here in my town we get way to many drunk people driving... i live out in the the middle of the no where so they think they can get away with this everytime... actually called the police once because a guy was zigzagging his way home!
I almost drove once while drunk, i turned on the car, looked to the rear mirror, couldn't see the distance that the car behind was, turned off the car, got out and walked home xD
That sucks people drive drunk there. It's super dangerous.
Good for you for being responsible. You could have saved someone's life that night, maybe your own. It's better to take a cab or to walk. Although don't walk in the road. ;)
I live in a small town, there aren't that many cars late at night xD Still, you are right, just a few weeks ago we had a college party where everyone went too, one of my friends decided to get in a car with a drunk/high driver... guess what happened, the guy flipped the car and she had to have surgery, she lost 1 year of college all thanks to that...
Man, I'm really sorry to hear that. It's a tough thing to have happen. Sometimes it's amazing to me that so many youth actually survive to adulthood. Hopefully your friend improves quickly.
There is this drunk guy Tommy, who wanders around town here permanently half cut. It is quite amusing that most of his antics are 'documented' on the town's FB page as he sparks many a debate. I don't think it just drink though mind. It's sad though, can't be much of a life as he's homeless too. Bit of a random comment to add, but there you are!
Well, this guy just drinks, saw him today, he was sober, he is an amazing guy, always full of life and spirit, i guess it's normal, never met a brazilian that wasn't full of life... I've always wanted to go to brazil and check their carnival, it must be awesome!!
Well, regardless of that... i got some "drunk/druggies/crazies" in my town with facebook pages... I even got someone that we name Beatu Salu, the man says he is protecting my town from tragedies, and that if it wasn't for him my town would have been obliterated by earthquakes and storms... well, the town is still ok so he might actually be protecting it xD
you may not judge them but i will :P
Fuck them! There are some rules that have to be met. When some is drunk you basically don't know what he will do next. His behavior can change every minute. Thus out of nowhere a dumbbell may hit your head.
I haven't see something like that but back in my gym days cause i used to be regularly there i have seen everything. From the fuckboys take their steroid-anabolics with a needle (the most common one) to the people coming in with coca-cola just do a quick set of hands and the leave for a bar in order to look like they have bigger arms.
i have even watched fights inside the gym between gypsies and native Greeks :P
Well, my gym is known for steroid users, i think only a handfull of us don't take steroids, they pass them around like it was nothing...
Haven't seen that many coca-cola quick set of hands, most of us train hard, i've seen some eat mcdonalds before working out, but i can understand when they have work after/ before or something to do and can't cook their food...
The gypsies vs greeks actually happened to me some weeks ago, a gypsie wanted to fight with me, for no reason, i was just telling him to calm down that there was only 1 set left and it was my gym partner's set which he was finishing, the guy turned red, he wanted the machine right there and started trying to fight me, thank god i'm a calm person...
typical gypsy behavior. the stereotypes about them are true! The gym i used to go was completely different than yours. Yours as you said is like a garage type of gym and people train hard. Mine was one of the many of a single chain that at some point made a special offer about 50 euros for the year and every single person came.
So you can imagine the ''quality'' of people there. that's why the coca-cola incident and the gypsies :P I remember back then with the gypsies they were 2 and just wanted to take the dumbells of another person in the middle of his set.
He kindly said let me finish my set and we can do in turns. The gypsies started swearing at him, saying their usual things ''do you know who i am etc etc'' and kicked his hand that holding the dumbbell. The guy then take the other dumbbell that he had in his other hand and hit him in the face :P
