What is the deal with planet fitness?? The lunk commercials are really funny but I keep hearing about some Gestapo-like attitude people encounter at this "gym". I hear they have a litany of rules before you are able to work out (don't get me wrong, I'm sure some are warranted), but are some very crazy like no water bottles over 20 ounces or no more than two 45# plates on anything at anytime. What!!?? Are they joking...if they are I certainly don't get it. I mean What the frig (I'm really trying to curb my cussing) is wrong with people!!??
Are we to believe that society is so weak and feeble that we are now punishing those of us who are strong and work hard to be even stronger?? If this is true then we truly have "gone to hell in a hand basket" as they say. This is just as ludicrous as those stupid variations of sports we are now teaching our children, like the "new" baseball. The premise is to have fun, no score is kept and there is no focus on competition just good feelings. I say take off the rose colored glasses and put down the bong hippy, you are ruining our children and if I had my way, you'd be shot. Competition not only is good for everybody but children also need to learn the valuable lessons of winning and losing in order to prepare them for a real world life of challenges they will surely face.
I know I'm ranting a bit here but I cant help it, this all needs to be said. While I'm at it, if I see one more skinny 135# guy showing off his "cut ab's" I'm going to snap his scrawny arm off and beat him to death with it. If you want to impress me, be 250# or more and have ab's (with a 150kg snatch and a 185 clean & jerk) that is impressive... not some Ethiopian wanna be who thinks he's diesel. How about you not worry about if you have the latest Reebok nano's to go with your board shots and compression pants(worn at the same time for some unknown reason) and the latest rogue t-shirt & Oakley sunglasses. Your supposed to be a man for God's sake...start acting like one and worry about how much weight is on the bar and less about what hair gel Rich Froning uses before the CrossFit games...you bunch of pansies.
As for the ladies, I am all for you being comfortable and confident in your own body, but for the love of God, please stop wearing "gym lingerie" or yoga pants/shorts and a sports bra as you call it, to work out in at a public gym (wear what you want if your in your own home gym). First, it's totally inappropriate, I'm a father and when I see you dressed like that, I only want to call your father and let him know what you re doing(which to clarify is shaming your family). Believe me, you are calling attention to yourself for the absolute wrong reasons and I assure you the guys that are "oogiling" you do not want to treat you like a lady. Secondly, these clothes are for UNDER your work out clothes...not instead of it. I know it's the "in" thing right now but please have more self respect than that...you deserve it.
I read some article every day or see something on the streets every day that points to our Nation and our society sliding down the path of "pussification" and we need to stop it immediately. This great Nation was built on hard work and tenacity, not sunshine and bunny rabbits, so knock it off already. Stand up for yourself and say something the next time you see some sniveling woosey trying to strip away our freedoms piece by piece. Walk around with a chip on your shoulder and don't apologize for it, after all thats what made America great...we bow down to no one for nothing, end of story.
Lastly, I'd like to talk about bullying. I know its a hot button lately and some say it's an epidemic. I want to tell you the secret on how to stop it for good. First, the simple truth is there will always be bullies in this world and they are always looking for victims so get over it and fight back. Stop trying to get the parents and the administrators and school counselors and even the police involved. If you or someone you know is being bullied, tomorrow, seek them out and without saying a word simply walk up to them and punch them as hard as possible in the nose. Now, you may loose the fight, but I guarantee that bully leaves you alone forever. I'm not advocating for violence, but I am advocating for standing up for yourself and if that takes some violence now and again, so be it. Freedom is worth the fight.
