My beef with the place is that it allows people to not see progress. I am far from a big guy, there are always guys who lift a ton more than me and when I go and see someone bigger than me, I don't go in a corner and cry and wish I had a gym where everyone else was fat. I look at the guy and say I want to get like that and I work out harder. People who are fit and in shape are very rare the guys who are mean, I have found the most bitter people rude people ARE the fat people. They end up being jealous and find ways to look down or be mean to the people who are in shape. Just look at these messageboards and see the things people on here say about good looking people.

While I find the PF ads extremely funny, imagine other ads saying "no fat people allowed" or instead of the big strong guy they push out the back door, it was a fat person. People would be up in flames about that and shouting out discrimination and whatever else you might think of. The double standards out there are pathetic.

I find it funny, but I'd also find it funny if it was a fat person because I'm rarely offended. Try to imagine that guy in the video is fat, then try to imagine the public's view of it and how they'd react. I bet it would be different.

Ok, I get it. Your admitting to be a real jerk.
exactly. Look at some of the posts in this thread alone, and you quickly get the whole picture.

Looking like a meathead is hardly good looking. pretty much evryone i know is compeltely repulsed by meathead look. Why would you aspire to look like someone else, when it isnt even midly attractive?

I think the fat look is repulsive, why would someone be lazy enough to get like that?


You don't have to look like a complete meathead and by working out hard doesn't mean you'll look like one.

Either way, most out of shape people use that as an excuse to feel better about themselves because they're too lazy or uncoordinated to even get a remotely decent body.

My post wasn't about looking exactly like them, but those people whether you want to admit it or not are in top shape.. and that could definitely be inspiration. I guess something like that went waaaay over your head but I guess that's to be expected.

That guy in the video is so big and ripped he waddles sort of like an obese person. Most fit people don't want to look up to or strive for that at all (except maybe for some insecure small guys).

Not at all. Working out is great, but doesn't mean you should be all judgemental. Don't worry about what overweight people are doing in or out of your almighty gym.

Can't you just have your own goals and not try to be someone else?

its bad to call people fat but because that guy has a lot of muscle its ok to call him a "meathead." because gyms are full of 250lb guys with 3% bodyfat that laugh at everyone else in the gym.

The fact that that's all you could take out of my entire post really shows that you don't have much more brains up there than that guy. But once again, keep up with your stereotypes, at least it'll help you sleep at night.
