Depends on the gym. If the people are cool with spotting I usually can go at it solo BUT my current gym has a lot of people who don't know gym etiquette so it really sucks pushing it. A good partner can bring you out of a mental rut though.

Totally agree here. My gym is full of meat heads who don't re-stack their weights, never spot anyone and wear ridiculous clothing. These posers are sweating on everything and not impressing anyone with the hand cut wife beaters that droop all the way down to the hips on the sides and almost below the nips on the front. I kid you not, there are at least 10 guys now wearing this shit. It's a fucking trend.

Anyway, it's a tough environment to keep your cool and finding a spotter is less than simple. I'll stay with the solo gig for now.

**Gman** · #34 11-20-2009, 02:11 PM

Nah I'm old school, never never show the nips.

**megaman85** · #35 11-22-2009, 10:52 AM

im a culprit of cutting my shirts, but NEVER cut them to where the sides droop down to my waist on my sides!!! There are a few skinny guys that come in the gym wearing that shit. I make sure to cut them to where my nips dont hang out. Actually my girl cuts them all for me, ive ruined the last two i tried to cut! I do like them coming to the center of my back some, but always leave enough in the sides and front.

I recently told a good bud of mine if he would just train with me, exactly how and when i wanted, id give him all his aas free. Well that lasted one week and he pussed out and couldnt hang lol

Damn mega Ill train with ya...and I garuntee I wouldnt puss out

b-real · #37 11-22-2009, 11:16 AM

Im a shirt cutter. But only about half way down my torso and never cut the collar. But I usually keep my hoody on for close to half the workout to make sure everythings nice and warmed up

**megaman85** · #38 11-22-2009, 11:41 AM

haha im sure you wouldnt b. Im sure you live far far away from me also though. Yea there was a guy in the gym once, had a hoodie on. looked like a small to average guy. He did about half his workout, and than took the sweatshirt off. i almost hit the floor. Damn that dude was all jacked up under that sweatshirt.

Bump this....One of the most ripped guys at my gym wears a sweatshirt 24/7. I knew he was strong but thought he was kinda of small....then one day he pulls off the sweatshirt and BOOMMMMMMMM! Mother fucker is jacked as fuck...I swear I about shit myself. Needless to say I no longer jump to conclusions when I see someone who "looks small" in a sweatshirt or covered up (at least at the gym)

**cookiedough** · #40 11-22-2009, 05:49 PM

FUnny, same deal @ my gym. Normal sized guy until he takes off the hoodie. Transforms into the incredible hulk.

**megaman85** · #41 11-22-2009, 07:28 PM

yea look at that thread i posted a while back with the guy with the incredible shoulders. When i first started watching it, i was like damn this dude aint shit, for one because he wasnt shoulder pressing much, and for two he had that sweatshirt on. When he took that sweatshirt off i was like damn, no wonder why he is on youtube for having great shoulders!!!

thats why the saying is, do you want to look huge with clothes on or do you want to look huge with clothes off?
