what was that smell?

[Scotland]

i was at the gym the other day and i went to use the hammer strength iso row. this guy was camped out on the thing for about 20 minutes, he'd do a set and take 5 then another and take 5. he is a fat jabroni, in a T-Michael shirt (i didn't know they still made those), has the comb over down pat, old man shorts on, and he isn't even perspiring.

all the back equipment is in close proximity. the stench coming from this guy was killing me. he smelled like wet dog who just smoked a carton of cigarettes. it must have permeated a 10 foot radius of toxic odor.

he finally gets his rank off the equipment and i get it next. holy mary! the machine smells like the guy is sitting in my lap. how does metal and leather absorb that kind of odor?

I am all about working up a sweat but how can someone be so ignorant to their repulsive stench?

haha that type of shit kills me. i am very sensitive to smells. there is one guy at my gym that literally makes me gag. EVERYTIME he smells that bad. smells like a rotting onion. screws up my frickin workout eveytime he uses something next to me.

I have that at my gym, but it's only the dudes who play raquetball, so luckily they stay out of the weight room area. But when you run into them at the drinking fountain or the lockeroom, it's just ungodly. :thumbsdow

fuck I would have told him. I hate smelly people. The sad part is that I have gone without showering for a few days, same clothes and stuff and I don't smell. so it makes me wonder how long these people go without cleaning themselves or clothes.

Did you work out any during that time? Some people just have a smell about them. The stench may have been due to stuff he eats like garlic and onions or whatever else. We have a guy around here that smells, but he bathes everyday. He eats alot of Subway sandwiches with A LOT of onions and on the parmesean/oregano bread. That shit just seeps through his pores.

Never sweat? I find that very hard to believe and if so, then you obviously don't work out that hard.

There is this dude at my gym who has the worst fucking B.O. Everytime I see him I make sure to make a face as if to say, "your a stinky fuck" alot of people do this to him but he acts like he dosent notice.

i get a glaze over my body at most. sweat never drips down my head, ever. i can play full court basket ball and in the heat and only have a glaze. so ok i guess i sweat a little. btw i appreciate the uncalled for comment towards how i work out.

:nerdnew: Your welcome. lol I guess I just find it hard to believe that some people just don't sweat, especially since I can walk out to the mailbox and sweat like a cold beer on a hot day.

Do you notice him more when you walk by the mirrors and is he making the same face back at you?

This morning I went running (hills and sprints) and sat there and dripped sweat for almost 1/2 an hour. My dog loved it-he loves licking sweat off of me. I stunk so bad I couldn't stand my own stench!
It made me late for work cause there was no point in showering while I was still dripping like a leaky faucet.

[edvedr]

my old roommate is the same way. he is so bad he can't even take hot showers cause he sweats in the shower and will continue to sweat when he gets out for like 5 minutes. he hates me for not sweating.....excuse me, i'm sorry, for not sweating MUCH.

A cold shower will fix that. They aren't the best but it will bring your core temp down and stop the sweat.

There is an old guy at my gym that wears a sweat suit. He runs on the treadmill and boxes his imaginary friend. Then he gets on the equipment smelling to high heaven and leaves his puddles of sweat on everything. Never taking off his BO, stinky trashbag like sweat suit.

I have moved to other areas of the gym during a workout to avoid getting sick from his stench. I believe he thinks that everyone stares because we think he is cool.

I made the mistake of reading this thread while eating lunch. I'm eating an egg salad sandwich. Yeah, I gagged a couple of times.
