I love January at the gym!
Everyone is pumped with renewed vigour and motivation to get hench and look great naked the thing that really brings a smile to myself is the trickle of gym virgins that can't tell a dumbbell from their elbow!
They tend to travel in packs of 2 or 3, with a "leader" who read a men's fitness magazine upon a time.
Go on every resistance machine in the order they are lined up rather due to some master plan and either blast out 20 reps at high speed with virtually no weight or with so much weight that even their collective strength can't eek out a single rep.
Avoids the free weights section other than to do the mandatory bicep curl.
Puts clicks on the bar when using the smith machine, unless the entire gym topples onto it's side those weights are staying put.
Gets flustered when anyone asks if they are alright or need a hand, give an unconvincing "Yeah mate" then sheepishly slink off.
Just because you have entered Beast Mode that doesn't mean that you shouldn't look at help these Bambi's of the gym out, they are shy creatures but if you are a gym veteran and have a body most would die for then they are more like to take your advice more seriously.
It takes a lot for someone to walk into a gym for the first time, especially when there are so many people who have been worshipping at the gym church for years and look like Greek gods.
