Eyeing up the competition at the gym

The Dude · Mar 12, 2012

No worries if you guys don't want to admit to it, but I do it regularly. I'm not rude about it, in fact normally I'll try to strike up a conversation. I really like it when there are guys in the gym that I feel are on my level, but maybe a bit more advanced or have stronger bodyparts. That being said I don't pretend to ever hope to be at the level of Rob Terry (who is amazingly humble and a genuinely nice guy) or the newest addition Ben Pakulski (who I havent met yet). I love seeing other guys make gains. It motivates me and sometimes I do stare, but I follow it up with a compliment.
Any of you know what I'm talking about? I've been wanting to go to a new gym occasionally to get some new inspiration.

Yea, I do the same thing, it'd be nice if we had some pros around this area though, but I don't see that ever being the case

Nope I get pissed that I'm not as big as they guys! Rob Terry is awesome though, every time I see him I tell him he has ruined my workout LOL.

I think that most of us do this. Nothing wrong with sizing up the comp. It motivates me to push harder. Only time I really feel small though is when I'm at sportworx in Btown or golds gym in peoria. Even then I always talk to everyone and pick peoples brains.

Rob Terry from tna wrestling? Tht Guy is srsly yoked! Is he bigger in person or not as big as he seems on TV?

I never feel like I'm on the level of anyone at the gym. Especially in the arms. Seems like everyone has much bigger arms than mine.

Ya that's him. He is ten times bigger in person and always shredded. He is literally monstrous. He also has a tiny little waist which makes his X frame look ridiculous.

whats even better is that hes very friendly as you say. nothing worse than having a celebrity with a stuck up attitude.
