Here's why older guys do it. Until the late 1970s or so, boys swam nude in school swimming pools; suites were not even permitted. At YMCAs, males swam nude; suites were not permitted. Anyone who doubts this can confirm it by doing a google search on "nude school swimming" and "nude YMCA swimming." Many of us who were around in those days see it as truly bizarre that men and boys now days are so concerned with nudity among other males. At one time, such concern would have been considered abnormal and efiminate. In earlier times, we had a more healthful attitude towards the human body.

YOURE IN THE WAY. The squat rack and power rack were made for compound lifts. Not for curling. Dont stand directly in front of the dumbbell rack while doing curls or whatever youre doing.

I was in one corner of the gym, out of everyones way, doing crunches...listening to my Ipod, minding my own damn business. These 2 meatheads 10 feet away from me are talking to each other so loudly i can hear them over my music... hear them so loud that i couldnt take it after about 8 mins. They were yelling practically. I see these 2 blokes everyday & I always saw hello to them, So I politely joked to them saying I can hear them over my music!!! This one dude, shaped like a box takes off on me... he starts yelling at me, asks me to mind my business, and if i want peace n quiet I need to go to church not a gym!!! and to increase my music volume. When i told him all he needs is to keep it down a bit he had the gall to call me a Grumpy Old lady when im actually 36 and he is over 50!!! He called me that about 4 times and said a bunch of stuff i couldnt understand coz he has a strong accent. Then he calls 3 of his buddies and talks smack about me in Spanish...so loud that half the gym hears it... Can someone tell me what i did wrong...how do you react to a douche like that??? I was so upset, I had to walk out. Part of me wished i could go and kick him in the nuts and see him double over in pain then throw a dumbell on his crotch when he was benchpressing ...but ive been brought up better...so i I cant believe that i have to see his dumb face every morning. I work out atleast 4 days a week and it bothers me that I have to deal with his ugly personality every day. BTW..he is also one of those morons who groans n moans when he lifts...so loud you would think he was dying. Please tell me how to deal with these kinda folks.... I need to vent…
