19 years old, my parents had bought me a gym membership (to the local commercial gym aka “the old commercial gym”, or “commercial gym hell” in previous writings) as an early Christmas present.
It was my first time stepping into the locker room, and the first thing I saw was a stereotype I never thought I’d see, something I took to just be an internet joke…
Standing there with his left foot up on the sink’s countertop is a frail scrawny old timer, blow dryer in his right hand, held inches, dangerously close for sanitation purposes to his nutsack.
I never thought I’d see that play out.
Isn’t it just a joke on lifting forums?
And it was on day 1 at the place.
Oddly enough it’s the only time I’ve seen that stereotype play out.
About 18 months going there, I never saw it a second time, nor have I at any other gym.
