what’s everyone’s go-to (lame) joke at the gym?

[ross11]

@elsiejo I’m stealing this, fyi…

 

[northwind]

@elsiejo After our wod I half jokingly say "are we doing a core finisher?"

 

[chrisboon]

@elsiejo My pre class snack is usually a bit of dried fruit, so you could say I have a date at the bar

 

[farmerdex]

@elsiejo Did you workout on the weekend? Just Lots of bicep curls - and demo drinking a beer.

 

[repeet]

@elsiejo When my coach finishes explaining the wod I always ask for the ProTip.
And it's always something like:

"When running put one feet foward then the other and then the other one"

"You gotta just keep moving."

Or proceeds to do the movement exactly as he demonstrated previously "Just do it this way and you're golden!"

Then I finish with "Thanks coach, today will be a pr day"

We always have a laugh, at least me and him, the others just hate me.

@elsiejo After a long workout: “now that we are warmed up, let’s do the workout!” Dumb, but I laugh.

@elsiejo Thank you, OP for unleashing this goodness

@elsiejo Why isn't the burpee business more popular? It's too up and down.

 

[farmerdex]

@elsiejo I’ve done crossfit for about 18 years and sometimes I make up terminology or ask questions that sound like a newbie. “Squat thrust jerks… that’s this one, right:” and demo a push press.

 

[compaqxp]

@farmerdex 18 years! Ae you one of Greg Glassman's original PT clients?

 

[farmerdex]

@compaqxp Ha, no. I started following main page in 05 on my own.

 

[compaqxp]

@farmerdex How on earth did you double across it?

 

[herbalnation786]

@elsiejo Anytime someone says tabata I like to angrily say "what'd you say about mabata?!?"

 

[prayingwife]

@elsiejo “Hi, how are you doing”
“Until now, still fine”
Conversation before the workout. But then in French, as a movie reference. I’m not sure anyone knows the reference, but it’s my go-to response

 

[scubadude]

@elsiejo Snatch jokes

 

[dezerango]

@elsiejo What do coaches and lawyers have in common? They both have to pass the bar exam.

 

[sharonrhoover]

@elsiejo When my Whoop optimal strain goes off in the warm
Up or the build declare that I’m done for the day before the wod

 

[jude1978]

@elsiejo When we get asked to move closer so the coach doesnt haven't to shout and immediately invade the coaches' personal space

That and "that weight looks heavy for you" when the coach is lifting light (1/2kg) dumbells when demo-ing movements for the class that day

Oh and asking the coaches to demo how to do a long run (usually the big guys who are more into weightlifting)

 

[dawn16]

@elsiejo When it is a 4 round wod that is pretty intense my coach always asks what are we going to do on round one expecting people to reply "pace ourselves" and I yell out "SEND IT!" and then flame out round three.

 

[reginabrown]

@elsiejo When the coach asks “can anyone not run today?” I ask “emotionally? Or physically?”
