Fat shaming at the gym, part one Okay, the fat shaming has left the office and entered the gym.  I do my lifting at home. Tax return equals sweet home gym. Now, I am in no way an expert and have never claimed to be. I only do SS and have been doing it for some months now.  However, I also do martial arts and this requires me to go to the gym as we rent a tatami there. We have full view of the power racks. HO LEE SHIT. It gives us so much pleasure to watch. But there is this one dude who really sticks out. Easily 230 lbs for like 5 ft 6 and so much fat. We've been training there for 6 months now. He's been following the crossfit program for AT LEAST the same amount of time. And here is the funny part. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. No weight loss, no muscle definition, no extra plates on his lifts. When he squats, he only goes for a quarter squat and then calls it a day.  How do you lift and workout for 6 months and not lose weight? But OK, I'm not the one to call him out. Some of my team mates have but he just says he's injured. Yeah, right. Now comes the most outrageous part. Before our class starts, another team uses the tatami and he'll often join the sparring sessions. So when we arrive early, we have the pleasure of watching them fight some kind of MMA. He used all his fat to just crush this one 120 lbs girl in class. You could see the disgust and desperation in her eyes. Ok, it's a fighting sport, but you don't go full retard against someone who weighs half your weight. Girl or no girl. I know some girls in our former team who would kick his ass, btw.  We've been trying to have him take a free lesson at our team, but alas.  You know what I really hate? He probably goes home and thinks he can fight.
