PSA: Resolutioners/Gym Returnees — If it’s bare metal, put it down gentle

POSITIVITY!

Let’s keep our gyms safe and equipment serviceable. If it’s not wrapped in some sort of rubber or impact absorbing material, don’t drop it higher than your knee. This is especially important for cable machines and dumbbells. These devices are much more effective with slower, controlled movements anyway.

For 2022, let’s try to have the professionalism and etiquette to keep these places open and well stocked with equipment. If you see something broken or unsafe, get that feedback to the gym staff.

While I’m at it, don’t drop your goals either, whether it’s a PT test or trying to drop that corona 40—the effort is the prize.

Be safe out there!

AND IF YOU'RE A RETIREE ESPECIALLY, KEEP YOUR TOWELS ON AND PUT YOUR FUCKING CLOTHES ON QUICKLY LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. I'M A FUCKING KOALA AND I STILL COVER MY DICKS WHEN IM DONE SHOWERING. NOBODY WANTS TO SEE YOUR LOW HANGING MAN FRUIT WHILE YOU TALK ABOUT THE PRICE OF MEAT AT THE COMMISSARY OR THE GOLF COURSE.

Koalas have bifurcated penises. So technically, males have two penises. TMYK

Fuck you I earned my benefits, one of which is the free towel-optional locker room gym. I don’t even work out I just go straight to the sauna to get ‘em sweaty and hanging low before I come out and brush my teeth, shave, and chat before heading to the commissary.

Edit: I also wait until peak morning PT hours and take a dump in the locker room stalls while everyone’s showering.

Just for that, I will leave all the weights everywhere, grunt as loud as possible, and drop my weights and yell "who's the man, I am!" /s

If I can't make everyone in the room pay attention to me, then what even is the point?

I’m going to look you in the eyes as I gingerly set the weights on the ground and run away.

And please, if you’re not using a piece of equipment don’t set your stuff down on it or crowd it with your friends. The gyms are packed right now, people want to use whatever you’re taking up.

If you need help fucking ask, drop the ego and pride.

Yes I Hate people who drop the lat fly machine down when they’re only pulling 100. Deadlifts I completely understand but for a movement that should be controlled anyways you should be dropping the weights.
