Thoughts on working out at a gym

I just finished a workout at the Field House, and everyday I go I find little things that never change about the gym. Here are some observations I make on a regular basis:

• There's always the men and women who lift with terrible form (bouncing the bar off chest, using momentum, etc.)
• A few guys are always sweating profusely like their bodies are literally sobbing with exhaustion
• There are those on the ellipticals or spinner bikes that never turn up the resistance so they are booking it but hardly breaking a sweat
• Very few people actually put the weight plates back on the racks
• There's almost always one girl who's really good looking that dresses like she knows it, then will occasionally give you the bitch face if she happens to cross your vision path (whether on purpose or not)
• Women will spend more time in the cardio section than the men
• I'm never entirely convinced half the people lifting weights know why they are doing a particular lift
• There's always an old guy who is either super flexible or surprisingly strong
• It always seems like at least one guy there that is wearing a sleeveless shirt needs sleeves
• I love the super competitive old guys on the basketball or tennis courts. Always entertaining.
• Women seem to wear brighter colors than men, or at least something besides white or black.
• If I'm in the middle of a set, I like to watch the people on treadmills and watch their strides. How their foot hits the treadmill, how high they come up, do they shuffle, does their foot come up at a weird angle, etc. fascinates me.
• I catch my self measuring myself to other people and how much we lift sometimes. I wonder how many other people do that?
• Every other time I'm at the gym, there's always that super fit/ripped (but not body builder ripped) girl there that is hard not to watch because her muscles are so well defined, but also because I feel weak in comparison and am just in awe.

There are my random thoughts on the gym for the day. I'm sure I had more while I was there, but these ones always seem to come up enough that I remembered them.
