Planet Gym..

I mean to say, "Herre min GUD!"
How do they do it? I mean the Gym culture, here I go again and call me a grumpy old git but at least I go to the gym to train and break a sweat in a t-shirt and a pair of shorts of sweat pants.

But on Planet Gym there is a fashion that goes against every rule of decency ever written!
Why would a grown man do strength training in a pair of spray on cycle long pants ( down to the calf muscles) and add this on with a tennis sun Keps (the ones that look like a normal baseball hat but the top is removed for some unknown reason and its trendy in a gym...) I mean away ti frikk!
Then we have Messrs Wrestlers who actually have the brass neck to turn out in their spandex and grunt at every rep..oh. and of course we wrap it up little mr Bullied at school who trains in X-training boots !! indoors with a heel cos he's the height of a dwarf. This reached new heights when everyone wore those huge boots with cheap chrome bits attached..God it was pathetic....

Then of course we have the Protein burgers who leave more smog around the machines as they eat 40 grams of whey protein five times a day. Of course nobody has warned them that this will seriously damage their internals and that the body will excrete out the excess of what it doesn't require. That would amass to a lot of smog and toilet runs for Mr peewee.

The most amusing aspect is the fact that there is also a catwalk on Planet Gym for the ladies.
Regardless of shape and size they must have that slinky little Better Bodies number that the gym told them looked GREAT on them...somebody lied...and you watch in amazement as the sharks circle the new victims to the pit bull pit waiting to "help them out...".Sometimes you can count the dimples and of course its like crossing the Sahara with the amount of camel toe going on..and the make up.Why can't anyone explain that the make up may end up on their tank top after 40 minutes on the StairMaster..amusing

All this is fine, let them enjoy themselves! yes..fine..but, hold on.They're not training,Mr and Misses IQ ,they're standing around machines you want to use making a spectacle of themselves and attracting as much attention as they can..This is what tears me up. This ain't a frikken coffee shop or food market as usually the conversation lands around how much Keso or Chicken fillets you managed to stack down, or the cost of the latest Herman Munster clog to make you look bigger...
I've seen the giants of Planet Gym sneak into crannies in the back of the dressing room with the inside of a kinder egg..Of course it was a small plastic helicopter they found when they opened up the two plastic halfs..Then its straight out for a smog breaking record, coffee chat at the leg extension machine and followed up by spray date move on a innocent victim whose fallen over board..

Oh well, monday night I made my trip to Planet Gym, they probably feel I should be in a wheelchair and its disgusting I dare to walk in and disturb their hobby...

Oh well, I wouldn't miss this spectacle for the world.As I said, who needs a tv when you can visit Planet Gym?

Please note that today, monday, has been a very "tongue in cheek" monday :-)
