STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

It's so hard for me to find new music. I have a base play list I've been listening to for like 15-20 years. Every year I add a couple songs. I'm also late to everything new. Like I JUST discovered Pop Smoke and he has a few songs in the rotation.


In the gym.. :Nthat
 
anyone experience numb like pain behind the knee, and around the lower hammy area
ive been feeling this type of discomfort for the past 2 weeks, i cant fully stretch my right leg either

thought it was sciatica but i have no back pain at all, and its not a bakers cyst as i see no swelling or bruising
 
i don’t mind music but i go the opposite route if i actually do have headphones, chill vibes only for the tunes because i pretty much always try to get real calm & zen-like before i lift…finally got the courage to attempt 2 plates on bench press, i don’t really train for it so it’s a good sign of progress


I only put my headphones and music to keep me focused and not distracted. It also gets me pumped when I'm nearing or ending my set, telling you to push more. I only have 1 song on my Playlist and that is more than enough. My music is the Training Montage from Rocky 4.
 
Was walking out the bathroom at the gym and it’s a small hallway out and I’m clearly on the right side.

some buff short (my height) old head with extra tight elbow sleeves walks in the middle and shoulder bumps me :lol: with his invisible lat syndrome

I don’t budge at all or move and just keep walking

the insecurity of these scrubs at the gym are hilarious

I'd consult a doctor.

you don't say. even your ordinary stick guy in public have those insecurities. I guess they love flexing themselves against big dudes to make them look alpha. point is, I'm more afraid of rap sheets than those silly posturing.

funny story from way back. I racked some pounds during my latter years in the university. walking along with a buddy of mine, I accidentally bumped into a guy sending him to the floor. perhaps out of embarrassment and her girl with him, he immediately stood up in anger, flexed his chest and stood toe to toe against me before realizing that he was against a huge guy. I was surprised and gave him the People's Eyebrow and him coming to his senses backed down and walked along with his girl away. my buddy and I just burst into laughter afterwards.
 
One of the resident “just out of high school f*** boys” who runs in a group of 6 was standing right in the middle of the walkway in front of the dumbbells a few weeks back. He could see me coming to walk by from a mile away, I’m sure of it. Just stood there, didn’t make any room for me.

My shoulder came within an inch or two of bumpin him but I just walked by in my own space.. close enough to tell him I wasn’t gonna walk all the way around or bend my back to avoid him cause he didn’t think he needed to move.

Haven’t had an issue since.

maybe it’s because i’m old 👴🏿, but i don’t be giving any energy to any posturing…i’ll move out the way or give those type guys space, ‘you got it big fella’ 😂😂😂

altho in this situation what really could be gained if you aren’t actually willing to engage with courtesy to say excuse me? in because the reality mostly is people really are actually self absorbed in their own world…most time they’re even not thinking about what anyone else has going on, which definitely is it’s own problem but it usually isn’t of any malice…in fact it’s just as likely that the reason you haven’t had issue with the mandem is they think you’re the passive aggressive/aggressive guy in their head from that interaction 🤔🤣

You’re reading even deeper than I am, but it’s unnecessary. We all have headphones in and there’s music in the gym, what would “excuse me” do for a courtesy that should be a given in a public gym?

He’s very aware of his surroundings. They spend most of their time failing PR’s on video with their boys who don’t know how to spot them, and sitting between sets standing around BS’ing with multiple dumbbell sets they aren’t using. So it’s not like they’re in the middle of something, which I would understand.

His “I’m not moving so you can walk by” stance was very obvious, and had I not leaned a little bit I 100% would have bumped his shoulder, which I said I didn’t. All I did was walk by close enough to let him know he needs to be courteous of people walking by / or be more aware of his surroundings if HE’S IN A WALKWAY IN FRONT OF THE DUMBBELLS. Or next time he tries that ****, imma be even closer.

His other homie (before this incident) from his group is also the one who I asked if he was using a piece of equipment he was uselessly standing next to with his gym bag in the middle of the walkway (see the trend here?), and he turned looked at me and just turned back around after I asked if he was using it. I just laughed and started using it.

These kids are meatheads. F*** boys. Primal minds. 99% of my gym experience over the past year has been amazing, this group is the 1%. But hey, color me the bad guy for wanting people to be decent and courteous in the gym?

definitely could be the case, i wasn’t there…i’m just offering another perspective by saying generally people are self absorbed and not necessarily thinking about other people; even in public spaces 🤷🏿‍♂️

so far, haven't encountered anyone like that in my local gym. in the ymca gym that I went at before was even better. very respectful dudes that leave you alone and do your own business. there is one gym though while peaceful is quite a bit on edge like treating it like competition. but majority of that group is comprised of young adults that were there to flex muscles to impress the women. you can just feel the energy of arrogance. other than that, the gym was pretty boring despite it being a popular spot. it was just like a place to meet up with and not doing any gym work.

anyway, not sure if any of you have seen this, but it's curious how some of these meatheads act or some experience their behaviors.
