Tales from the dirty gym

[marcusmucheck]

Like many of you I used to train in a private key club gym with many other powerlifters, weightlifters, bb'ers and just plain gym rats.

What I propse is we share some of our "Dirty Gym" stories.

I can remember our gym had just relocated to a storage garage that was plenty big enough but didnt have heat, AC, or toilets.

The heat and AC wasnt a problem, but what if we had to use a toilet?

Most of us had caught on early to keep our empty water bottles and urinate in them, then just throw them in a near by dumpster.

By now, you should be thinking "what if you had to drop a duke?"

well many times that happened, so we would walk up the street to a gas station...but on one occasion a newer lifter was there doing some high reps squats.

This new guy had been pounding weight gainers, creatine and who knows what other muscle tech products in hope of looking like whatever bb'er was featured at the time.

After warming up and doing his first set of 20 he looked horrible, as if he was going to vomit.

Everyone was around him making the upchuck sounds just goofing with the guy.

He starts screaming "where is the bathroom!"

We just know he is going to puke everywhere and carry a garbage can over to him...

to our suprise he pulls his pants down, hops on top of the garbage can and takes what I am guessing was a $50+ shit!

After he wiped his ass with old magazines, he finished legs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's hilarious.

lets hear someone elses

[robert da strongman]

watched a kid blow chunks all over the bathroom after doing squats. he decided to eat a taco bell burrito before training.

[bluto]

haha!! I am all for hardcore. In fact, I always figured the more dungeon like the better. But, I think my mentality has been one upped by that story. :bowdown: Man, you gotta at least have a port-a-pottie. :)


BTW, I am new to this site, but happy to be interacting with you fellas when i get the chance.

In the early 80`s I trained at a gym in Grand Prairie Tx. and we were putting plates on a squat bar and slideing them on. One of the guys got the meaty part of his hand down by the little finger between two plates just as someone slammed it up against another one and cut a perfect circle out of his hand.I don`t guess I`ve ever seen anybody bleed like that poor guy did.

The first story was great, the second story sounded painful

When I first started working out (3 ish years ago), the local meat head gym was total fitness, this lead to that I wound up working there yatta yatta yatta, but the gym itself was actually the funny part, because the actual weight area of the gym was about 4 times the size of the cardio area, and the cardio area wasn't that small, well the weight area was literally a stripped down warehouse, cement brick walls, struts and everything sticking out of the ceiling no paint, it got vacuumed about once a month, BUT due to the women and picky people who only did cardio, The cardio area was finished, like NICELY, painted sheet rock walls tiled ceiling, and it was always clean, there was a little water machine and everything, haha

This tale has to do with the ‘other’ kinda dirty:

Trained at this big-city gym which was state of the art circa 1980 and which at this time I trained there, was falling apart.

Anyway, so one day I went in before work bout 8am-ish; up to the apparently empty changing room and just take by shirt off when the cleaning lady comes busting outa the men’s sauna (located to the right of the changing room) and says “look at the filthy shit I found in there!”; half paying attention I lazily look over to her at which point my faces screws up like I just smelt a fart; she’s standing there with a soiled 12” dildo in one hand and the biggest carrier bag full of gay-porn I’ve ever seen in by life! I honestly didn’t know whether to shit or go blind.

Heres another one from the same guys and a different building...

this one should remind all of us to always be nice...even when it hurts.

The gym had always been notorious for tolerating NO bs. If you wanted to just come in and do you own thing...that was fine.

If you joined a crew, it was like applying for a job. You needed to be on time, and be positive. I remember an older guy who seemed somewhat in shape asked to join, and they let him.

I have no idea why they ever let this guy joined, he was one of those "old timers" who did everything the right way while everyone else did thing the wrong way...

Every single training session his comments got more and more negative and he seemed to always be late.

Finally one member (LIFTER X) had enough and told this guy to get the out. LIFTER X is witty and just tore this guy apart.

The older man left, but it wasnt the last time he would be at the gym.

Our "Dirty Gym" was like most. Old building, no running water, a complete death trap really. It could be shut down at any moment...and it didnt help that LIFTER X had kicked out the local fire inspector days earlier.
Thats right, the older man was the fire inspector and had come back to kick out LIFTER X and the rest of us!

We managed to save the gym, but it took months of ass kissing and low cost renovations.

Just remember that because we are strong, does not mean we are powerful.
