Douchebags at the gym...

[Slappy244]

I often wonder if we are all D bags in the gym.... I am 36 and been lifting for long enuf to know if you lift weight you gain muscle. Up down, left right. It's a hard place to make friends. The goal when I walk into the gym is to see past all the d bag crap in there and be at war with the weights. If one of the D Bags has a problem with your style, f him. Your not there for him, your there for you!!

Hmm, I understand the point you're making, but I believe in my own awesomeness and dislike others douchieness.

dis b a h8t tread. let tha h8t flow brother.

Not be be pridefully or anything but I could say I have pretty big arms.

So I start curling 40lb dumbells and these 2 homies skinny as a stick, in beaters charge up and grab the 42.5 and 45 lb dumbells. And are using more lower back curling then there biceps trying to impress the blondie in between us.

That's a douche to me. Trying to out lift me to be mr macho and look like a dumbass in front of everyone.

^yes, that's douche. fck those guys.

What makes a Dbag.

Wearing wrist straps during chest routine
Not wiping down equipment
Not putting equipment away
Eating a fruit roll up and winking at someone in the locker room
Waisting time on equipment
Not trying to learn how to use proper form
Having a Tribal tattoo that you got after the 90's
Poaching equipment
Being inappropriately loud
Bring an iPad to the gym
Interrupting someone's routine for unimportant reasons
Wearing a tap out shirt or Ed hardy
Dressing up to go to the gym
Not working out, but being at the gym
Having a boner with sweatpants on

As long as your not doing these things your not a douche bag, at least in my book.

Hit legs today & after finishing box squats, I went to use the leg press & this guy was on it. Saw him do about 8 not even half reps with 8 plates, sees me standing there, winks & smiles like he's such a bad ass. He starts wiping down the backrest & then he was going to start unloading the plates & I told him he could just leave them on. He turns around with a confused look on his face like nobody in the gym was as strong as him, chuckled & walked away. So I threw 2 more plates on & did 20 deep reps, got up as he looked at me, winked & smiled right back. Hopefully my douchery was cancelled out for the bigger douchebag vibe he gave off. I'm always modest & never a show off but the guy needed put in his place..

Was that 8 plates each side or total?

Wtf is the point of a 42.5lb DB?! Thats nuts, I've never seen that.

My gym at school had half increments up to 55lb then by 5 lb increments with DB.

Dude what kind of gym do you go to? Are you sure it isn't a bath house? haha

That fruit roll up **** was funny.

 

[McCrew530]

Not a douchebag thing but why are guys direct training their forearms? I am not talking about bodybuilders who are trying to bring up a lagging body part. Just everyday young guys who might still get asked "do you even lift bro?" It is compounded when you see them using straps also. Mentioned it to a powerlifter guy I know today. Couldn't help but make a joke about wanting to look like they beat off for hours a day haha.

I saw this exact thing taking place in... Drum Roll please... The squat rack! I wanted to punch the guy in the kidneys. His forearms were bigger than his calf

 

[Tomahawk88]

He must want to look like he beats off more than just himself haha.

Pretty sure I posted about this chatty older guy that just had to have the last word and would just keep talking. Today he was lifting and grunted on both the concentric and eccentric part of the lift. He was literally grunting more times than he was lifting.

I heard grunting increases one masculinity... :jokes:

LOL I remember you bringing that guy up, I do a similar breathing routine when I’m trying to poo out a 36oz steak and baked potato!

 

[SilentSavage0523]

I know its not taking place at the gym but one of the biggest d bag is the board troll.
First we had the self pity one legged guy starting up tons of treads on the same topic now we have the one going around commenting on 2 and 3 year old treads and the advice hes giving dont even make sense

End rant

It was very loud and weird.

 

[DJBeanPole]

Had the elusive girl douche in the gym today. Saw her set up 115 in the squat rack and I checked her form. Great full range of motion for a solid ten reps. I waited for her to finish before asking her if I could use the squat rack's pullup handles for a quick set. I even complimented her on making a bunch of the dudes I usually see in the gym look like a bunch of pussies for not squatting. After set I went back to my routine and 5 minutes later I watched her walk out the door with her weight still set up on the rack. SMH.

[pow_wow41]

So I think I might have been the douchebag this morning.. But not in the gym, but at home. Woke up to the girlfriend holding a plate of 3 eggs over easy, & a big plate of waffles. I said, "Aw thanks babe... But I can't break my fast til noon. I'll eat that post-WO." Yea, she didn't really like that.. But you know she's gonna like that when I'm shredded! Hahahaha.

 

[WPD111]

Sooo. How does that new egg over easy waffle hat look anyways

 

[ryane87]

Yeah, that guy is a weird dude. I don't know what that was all about. I was wondering if I was the only one noticing the guy dispensing nonsensical advice to old threads.

 

[pow_wow41]

Haha, she just gave me that death stare, turned around and walked away. lol she's over it now but I was really just postponing breakfast.

My wife gets mad when I won't turn into a garbage disposal for leftovers. She knows I try to eat well. "Hey, you can eat this pizza so we don't throw it away." I tell her no. Unless it's Saturday. haha

 

[FromAus]

So I have these two teenagers at my gym (two of many phaggots) that will load up the lat pull down with 80kg a side, and I'll sit there and watch them swing off it thinking their Tarzan not even moving it an inch, get off after like 4 reps of moving it half an inch, and think their tuff. And you sit there thinking. " God he is so tuff, he must have 500 girlfriends"

Or the same two guys go next to you on the cables when your doing cable curls. Load up the cables to like 60 kg. use their lower back to attempt to lift it to half way, then use their triceps and back to pull it towards them, and stare at you for the whole time. Then try to correct you on your form!?!

So I started at him and said.... " how about drop the weight, be a real man, leave your ego at the door and do it properly, or next time I see you I'm bringing you a skirt to wear"

Now I see why he avoids the time that I go.

Hahaha, I know EXACTLY what you mean. My family & my girlfriend's family always rely on me to eat every bit of excess food. They haven't caught completely on to the fact that it's not bulking season for me anymore lol

Who? Never mind I found him/ or her/ seems to post a lot in lady stuff. I bet he is the guy in the gym with the Tap out Gear doing curls in the squat rack while making fun of peoples cars because he drives a bmw, while sweating his lazy persons sweat all over his weights that he doesnt rack, only to go home and tell his friends to take Cell-tech for pct. That sounds about right...

Hahah yea that's probably pretty accurate

 

[cabrunner6480]

This happened a few days ago, just hadn't had time rag about it, haha.

So I'm in the power rack doing my box squats. When two guys show up to do squats in the rack next to me. One of them was obviously the alpha male giving the other "instructions."I could sort of hear through my earbuds. He was saying how partial squats were superior and beneficial for other movements. "Also, you could load more weight on the bar." 185 lb. with 1/8th of a squat and grunting like crazy. He was looking over at me as I had 260 lb. on my back sitting on a box set at parallel, lean back a pause for 3 seconds and then explode upward. I could tell he wanted to tell me how I was doing it wrong. I just gave him the look , the alpha became the beta, haha!
After my mean mugging, I noticed they went to the other side of the gym do some kettle bell swings.

 

[BLaQz]

I could sort of hear through my earbuds.

You need new earbuds my friend...

 

[DJBeanPole]

My gym is a magnet for the NRRDs... Non Re-Racking Douchbags. Same squat rack again. Some little teenager that couldn't have been 125lbs soaking weight warmed up with 135 and looked like a god damn accordion folding in half on his way up. To my surprise he upped to 225 and looked somewhat decent... and then walked out of the gym. For ****s sake rerack the damn weights.

 

[DAG2013]

Tried to take a picture of this guy today at the gym. I see him pretty frequently last couple months so he's certainly dedicated. But, he was using the squat rack to do forearm curls with a barbell. I could have forgiven this since he then set up to do some squats so at least he was going to actually squat in the squat rack. So Im watching since at this point Im curious what is coming next. Dude proceeds to squat maybe 1/4 of the way for 6 reps. Does 3 sets of these quarter squats. If I wasnt doing my HIIT workout I was going to offer some advice but he was done before I was.

Saddest part, it looked like about 165lbs total that he was "squatting".

 

[Slappy244]

We've got this douchebag at my gym that is a total redneck homophobe......

My gym has an obviously gay, big black evangelical christian homophobic power lifter. He always has to say things just after his last rep like, "aaaaaaaahhhhh thank you Jesus!" or "rrraaaawwww with his grace!" Then in between his sets he's talking his @ss off to anyone unfortunate enough to make eye contact.

He stopped talking to me after I called him out. I was in between sets on the leg press and he was in close enough proximity to feel comfortable wondering up and talking. I had my earbuds in but he wasn't deterred. After I pulled a bud out and asked him, "What did you say? I'm blasting Lamb of God" he repeated something about how I scared off the "****" at the leg press next to me with the weigh I was moving. My response was simple and effective. "Is that your ex or something? How'd you know he's gay? I thought you were gay. I've never met a straight guy who plucks his eyebrows the way you do."

Before he was done with his reasons and excuses for NOT being gay, I put my earbuds back in and pointed at the leg press and said I've got a set to do.

Went to put the 50 lb dbs back and someone put a 20 lb db in one of the spots for a 50, wasn't going to post that on here cause no huge deal but later in the workout during abs I was using a mat for planks and crunches and went to get some water for at the most 15 secs and when I came back an old lady was laying on it. And I'm pretty sure she was starring at me before I got a drink, it's like she wanted MY mat and not any of the other 20 that were just sitting there.

She just wanted to bask in your sweat the only way she knew she could ---by stealing your mat. She wants you and from the sounds of it, she wants you BAD!!

Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate that sht!!!! There is a group of old lady bugs that do this to me on a consistent basis then look at me like I’m an A hole for asking them if they would like to work in with my while I finish up what ever I was doing!

 

[SXIPro]

The true dbags at the gym are the women with gigantic cottage cheese asses that always take the treadmill directly in front of me, so I have to watch the ebbing tide of mashed potatoes come in and go out in their over-stretched stretch pants. Do they not understand that that particular treadmill is reserved for the hot Hispanic chick that has the ass that belongs in the museum of fine art?

I like my gym more and more every day. This thread makes me appreciate what I have.

You should make up a sign that says "Reserved for hot hispanic chick that has an ass that belongs in a museum" Then proceed to show these women the sign so they will get the heck out of the way.
