Ever get laughed at in the gym????

luke7750 · 11-18-2009, 11:21 AM

Was working tris a couple weeks ago and did a tricep pose in the mirror to c what areas needed improvement. After I did so I noticed 2 guys in the corner laughing at me. To top it off it was guys who are members of the dungeon. I have to admit, it did not hurt my confidence at all but I have known one of the guys for a while and never thought he would do such a thing. Anyways what do you guys think about this? have you ever been laughed at for posing?

i tend to keep the posing at home.
if i do anything in the gym its a quick look after the muscle is full of blood to see were im at.Not sure if anyone ever laughed at me but if they do im sure there not moving the weight im moving.

f them dude do your thing.

GETTINGSTRONGER · 11-18-2009, 01:25 PM

things like that wouldnt really bother me. For one, if there looking at you, admit or not there doing the same thing you are in the mirror; chking you out. Not in a bad way but maybe admirring you. If there laughing at you, they are most likely insucure with there own bodies. If im working a body part thats not covered i usually chk it out also, dont see anything wrong with it, hell thats why there are mirrors everywhere.
I totally agree with stalion, f them, do your thing!! lol

joewho · 11-18-2009, 01:44 PM

I agree, you shouldnt really care. You look like youre hauling around a good size and decent amount of muscle so keep at it & dont worry about them

I pose in the mirrors sometimes, but only when I think people aren't looking.

I can't say I've ever been laughed at in the gym, but if I did see someone laughing at me, I'd ask why.

monkeybiker · 11-18-2009, 01:57 PM

Why are they so worried what other people are doing anyway instead of just doing there own workout.
A lot of people just go to the gym like a social thing rather than to workout.
Just do your thing and blank them out.

Yes

But I try not to let it bother me.

You are a bodybuilder after all, posing is part of the deal. I never laugh maliciously at anyone who poses in a mirror, even one who is got a long way to go to an impressive physique. We all start somewhere.

luke7750 · 11-18-2009, 03:44 PM

I don't let it bother me I just thought I would get you guys to voice your opinion. all the damn mirrors around me its just hard not to get a quick flex after getting a good pump. kinda motivates if ya know what I mean.

Thanks bro. I am down a good bit in the bf% since my avatar pic was taken. I will update the pic this week or next.

Determined 08 · 11-18-2009, 03:46 PM

I have as well. Was posing with my shirt off and just my boxer briefs on cause I just got done weighing myself. Did all the mandatory poses in the mirror in the dressing room and someone though it was funny I guess. Either that or he was crying cause he wanted to look like me and felt like a biatch

That's how I look at it at least. Your looking good man cosign with everyone above screw em

you hit it right on the nose. We all had to start somewhere and alot of people tend to forget that. Big or small if you are in the gym training hard then I have just as much respect for you as I would a pro bodybuilder.

**Kaboom** · 11-18-2009, 04:19 PM

Im kinda the "local bodybuilder" lol everyone knows me and usually asks me to pose.I will get strange looks from the newbies sometimes but who gives a **** lol. The mirror I pratice my posing in is in corner of gym.It has mirrors on all four walls so i can see all around me and the lighting is great.I pose 15 mins 4 times a week.
F the person who wants me to stop lol

**True21** · 11-18-2009, 05:28 PM

I tend to hit some poses in the gym, but usually just when there is few to no one around.. Im not there to show off, but its always cool to hit a pose to see where you at with some blood and pump flowing through your body. **** em man, who gives a flying **** anyway? I know I dont, and usually most people dont either... Oh and no, I cant really recall ever being laughed at in the gym - but then again, people know better not to **** with someone dead serious about something, ready to throw a dumbell in your face if you get out of line!! O_o

**True21** · 11-18-2009, 05:31 PM

^^Man, notice how my cencored swear words are perfectly symmetrical to each other!! Kind of like this:

-_-

LOL! Excelent!

you know if they were bigger than me I may have confronted them. but being that I outweighed them and out massed them by about 40lbs then I thought nothing of it. It just suprised me that guys from our own forum would do such a thing.

**True21** · 11-18-2009, 05:40 PM

Now, Luke - they where laughing wiiiiiiiiiiiith you!!!

Hahaha, j/k. Maybe their just jealous or something. Maybe they wernt laughing at you at all and you missunderstood the whole situation. I know how paranoia can get to you sometimes, lol!

**HawaiianPride.** · 11-18-2009, 07:27 PM

I always pose in the gym in front of everybody. Nobody laughs at me because I basically know most of the kids in the gym, and most of the people there are in worse condition then I am, so they really have no room to laugh. But nobody in my gym usually laughs at ripped dudes on juice lol, that's just asking for an ass whooping.

Determined 08 · 11-18-2009, 07:37 PM

Don't go "roid rage" on em. Lol!

**HawaiianPride.** · 11-18-2009, 07:42 PM

Haha oh yes, if that was possible I'd try not too. I'm not on enhancements anymore though, so now they all might laugh at me :0

**mindstar** · 11-18-2009, 07:46 PM

well don't clomid weep all over them either...lol

**HawaiianPride.** · 11-18-2009, 07:50 PM

I start my clomid next week lol I'll be sure to walk around with a box of tissues by then

**mindstar** · 11-18-2009, 09:48 PM

lol...I can just see it. All threads started by HP during pct will begin with "you know this really reminds me of that scene in The Notebook..."

**HawaiianPride.** · 11-18-2009, 09:57 PM

Lol you guys better be prepared..

99problemsbutmysquataint1 · 11-18-2009, 10:24 PM

"mirrors are for queers" - louie simmons... in all seriousness maybe they were talking to eachother and laughing and you misinterpreted them laughing at you

joewho · 11-18-2009, 10:48 PM

hey bro, seems like the problem here isnt getting laughed at , its who did the laughing, I dont blame you, you just dont expect that kind of sh*t from a fellow dungeon brother do you know them on a personal level? yall go to the same gym bro, ask them whats the f-ing problem. That way you dont have to call them out on the forum, but maybe youll get some closure on the matter.

Should've asked them why they were checking you out.
