Almost got in a fight at the gym tonight

[BigSickD]

I was training legs tonight and I had just finished doing my last quad exercise and this younger dude I talk to in there on occasion and don't mind helping out cause he asks good questions and seems to listen. So he asks me what I thought about wearing knee wraps and I told him that I think he should try to avoid them unless absolutely necessary, I mean shit I am 40 and luckily don't use them. Anyways, there's this guy in there mid 40's, every gym has them, that is basically a fat guy that wears tank tops that walks around like he is buff or something and always wears pants. Well he pipes into our conversation and tells the kid that he should wear them and that he wears them. Kinda pissed me off, so I told the guy who do think this kid would rather listen to me or your fat ass. And before he could say another word, I told him just cause he wears a tampon doesn't mean everyone has too. Well, at this point everyone around us is cracking up including the kid and the guy turns beat red but doesn't say a word. I then just walked away over to my wife who was on the other side of the gym and the guy never said shit or even looked at me. I really don't think I was wrong, yeah maybe to talk to him like that, but don't give advice unless asked. Thought I would share... oh, my wife thought I was being an asshole but she laughed when I told her what exactly I said. I guess I didn't almost get in a fight but it could have been if the guy had balls.

A bit harsh IMO, but fucking funny! Bet he'll think twice before butting in with an unwanted opinion

 

[Dawgpound_Hank]

LMAO! Knee-wraps, knee-wraps, knee-wraps! :laugh:

 

[Darkness]

Meanie....

 

[Jumperz]

Lol depends how he approached you. If he seemed genuine then you are a meanie. But if he jumped in in an abusive way you should have kicked him in the knee lol

 

[Glycomann]

You should've given him a wedgie.

One of the main reasons I have my own gym.... Lmao

But do you wear knee wraps?

 

[John Benz]

I've never worn them, but a couple of the biggest powerlifters at the old BodyMasters gym wore them every workout. Those guys were monsters.

But...I hate when some clueless sloppy dipshit starts handing out advice...especially when it counters advice I am giving. Sounds like you had a good time BSD!

No was arrogant about it, trust me the guy is an ass.

 

[MR. BMJ]

That shit always happens on leg day, and for some reason the smartasses come out of the wood works. It never fails having dipshits piss you off while driving home after a good leg day too, when you are dead ass tired.

now thats funny

 

[olderfella]

So whats wrong with knee raps?ive found them very usefull for holding in bodily waste when squating,no mess on the floor at all

 

[bufbiker]

I prefer raw power. Knee wraps are like wearing a bench shirt IMO. Cheating!
I prefer deca to knee wraps anyway.

 

[Shovel]

But do you wear knee wraps?

Seriously? No. I have a pair that I got from that contest on here, but I think they're too small or Maybe they're suppose to be that tight.? Lol

Im too lazy to put on knee wraps ...takes too much time ...
i hate gloves ....my palms feel like crocodile skin ....

I hate gloves too. On chest day I use chalk for all BB sets. Wide grip and shweddy hands don't mix. Ha!

Big fan of wrist wraps though....

i like wrist wraps for back day ..then u dont need 2 grip it hard ..just hook it ..use ur back for all the work ...

 

[BigSickD]

I never said there was anything wrong with wraps, if u need them use them.

 

[bufbiker]

But in a competition they can increase your squat easily by 100lbs. Take the knee wraps off and what do you have left?

Thats not cheating LOL

 

[BikerTrash]

Ok , my opinion is ..I agree with the OP on this ,
those worthless fat tards wearing the tank tops and walking around with there chest ? puffed up ,,What"????? those idiots dont got shit on me and Im like OP on this scheme,I woulda told that tampon wearing douchnozzle just how it was also , except me being me I woulda had poked him in his chest with my finger to emphisize the importance of not being a douchbag to him ,,,and I would have prvoked him to swing at me just so I coulda knocked him down...lol...
But then I am a dick and typically while im in the gym everyone avoids me as my eyes are bloodshot ..I say to OP .. your were just being honest so no harm done .

 

[~R~F~G~]

I was giving a kid diet advice and he questioned me and called over a guy who told him 4 muscle milks a day is good. Well. I laid into him like you did. I asked the kid who ya want to look like me (240 with a six pack) or mr 190 with a belly? And pointed to the guys gut from all the muscle milks. The guy started to get pissy but thought better of it. But I've been in your shoes. And if you can avoid wraps, sleeves and the like you should. Until your body demands you wear them.

 

[mrhtbd]

I wore wraps back in the 1980's and felt they added more support, but I didn't like the way they cut off the circulation in my calves, so I stopped.
I'd rather my squat being limited by the weakest link than go overboard with a false sense of security using wraps.
Using wrist wraps one time doing heavy deadlifts my wrist popped out so I stopped using them as well.
Course, I'm not traning for competition or such.
Concerning you being an asshole...I can't vouch for that, but I can understand getting irritated by someone interupting a conversation and countering your age-tested advice.
That would piss me off as well, but I gotta hand it to you, I could've never came up with that tampon comment.
Ha, classic!
