name 2 things that drive you insane at your gym.

[brownstown89]

i just have to vent so i wanted to hear what just sets you off at your gym.

1. When guys my age(17-22) im 19, come to the gym in a beater and swimming trunks and flip flops. go straight to the bench and put on 225 and do ellbow bends.. you know where u unrack the bar and bend ur elbows and push up while your 110 pound spotter makes sure you dont get crushed then run over to super set it with your max chest press which u cant get but ur spotter shoves the machine to where u got it locked out. man must build up those ligaments then u do 50 sets of preacher curls with the bar and a 5 on each side and flex in the mirror for 5 hours and drink a vitamin water as your post workout...

2. Guy whos Alpha Male attitude is a bit too much this guy comes in does Standing shrugs on the seated shurg machine, makes sures he slams every weight down so u see how much he was doing. yells when he curls. makes obnoxious faces whather hes doing hamstring curls or swinging the lat pulldown bar down. O you will also hear him saying things like man i Fing hate it when ppl ask me for advice like how did u get soo big how are u moving so much weight.. when in reality i havent seen anyone ask him that. Also this guy looks like he got a severe case of gyno.

ok first off i am your age have lifted in a wife beater and swim trunks (but i had regular shoes) but i was at a buddys house over night and didnt have my normal attire

1. the great deadlifters that ego lift and end up trying to sway the bar up with hunched backs and throw off their center of gravity and fall forward tripping over the bar and falling on their face

2. the guy with his girlfriend that hug and smile and kiss and giggle at each other, especially when he is wearin an ed hardy shirt with his fitted hat tilted to the side

[Jaegernaut]

Not so much something I hate at the gym, but I hate people who don't know how genetically lucky they are, you know your friends that eat like crap and only lift when they feel like it, but can still lift big with no problems

What chaps me is:

1) When someone has there contents of their gym bag scattered around the gym blocking people using the equipment . Especially when i'm in a zone.

2)When nasty mother truckers are sitting in the steam room butt naked and shaving with that menthol smelling stuff on top of that. That's when I want to loose my religion and tell them about their selves.

Other than that I don't have any issues.

1. When someone comes over and asks how many sets you have left and then just stand there really close starring at you. One ******* actually commented a second time asking how long I was gonna take when I was obviously resting in between.

2. When some guy or girl uses the bench press for something other than bench. Don't get me wrong I super set all the time but its when they aren't even using the bench for bench. Come on you know a quarter of the people here are needing to use that for what it's meant for!!

Bonus: some guy comes back from the water fountain or talking to his buddy on the other side of the room and hasn't put a towel or keys on the seat so you start unracking their weight and they come back saying, "hey man I'm like still on this, I got like 3 more sets" NOT ANYMORE ****!

Some jerk was shaving??? F***ing unsanitary.

Hey what about the jag off that has like 5 pairs of dumbells around his seat or bench that he hasn't put back or even plans to.

Unsanitary is right.

I don't mind if the guy using all of the dumbells as reps without rest. But like you said it's when he gets up and just walks away leaves them.

[John Smeton]

when a person is curling ,doing upright rows or anything that could be done else in the squat rack and I want to squat.

people who smell really bad.

[xtraflossy]

Why do the Mid Eastern guys have to be using 5 peices of equipment at the same time and then get defensive if someone happens to siy on their bench while they are half way accross the gym doing somethign else..

-Girls with fantastic asses using the cardio equipment in the rear of the group; common, You like it, I like it- move that booty up to the front for the rest of the class to see!

I hope they werent speedos.

My 2 pet hates =loud music to the point of having to shout to hold a conversation and spoiling concentration.

and guys going round in groups of 4 or more hogging the equipment

[warsteiner]

Only one thing annoys me as it can apply to so many different things - posers.

People who come into the gym thinking that it is fashion contest, people who slam the weights down, people who flex in the mirror in front of you, people who ask you when you will be finished with a free weight (i.e. bench press) and then say in a loud voice not to bother removing the weights as they will use that as a warm-up set, etc. etc.

[pistonpump]

horrible horrible form....i want to say ouch for them!

built upper body but scrawny weak chicken legs below....drives me nuts!

[Pleonastic]

1) I hate people who think they know so much more than you, and have to give you advice and say "your doing it wrong.

[Pleonastic]

2) Nasty people

dude I cant agree with you more. Right on Right on

[jsl]

1. People coming into the gym when it's 80 outside wearing shorts a beater and skull caps.

2. All the "fighters" That do a curl, half squat or half bench press and then start throwing kicks and punches at the mirrors.

lol my legs are real skinny, but they get me 40 yards in 4.5 and a mile in under 6. Appearances can be flawed. As few have said..... strength is how well you can support your weight.

On another note, I would like to see more thickness in my legs. Been working them hard.

okay i should have left out the weak part, i understand for some its genetic but there are guys that only work upperbody and have tiny legs that look like they never get worked out....if you have nice legs already then you have the excuse of passing up leg day but if your legs look like sticks then you need to do something about it cuz chicks dont dig it thats for sure and it just looks stupid to me.

[SamuraiSid]

1) Oh man, i really hate it when all these young kids come into the gym and watch me lift a ton of weight, and see how big and massive i am, and start asking me questions. Im always sayng in the gym how I have to stay in the zone so that I can mantain my rock hard super coolness.

2) When all the hot girls are constantly checking me out, and accidentally bumping into me, sothat they can feel my rock hardness (not like that!). Its hard to keep focused when Im lifting such heavy heavy weight!

[maurice02]

Eh, I guess i got a few.....guys with their gfs who are all up on each other, people who focus on watching the TV in the gym more than lifting......if you wanna do that, stay at home, people that are just ridiculously friggin loud with grunts, and yells, and slamming weights.....and to boot, half the time the weight is minimal, people that constantly attempt to stare you down OR feel the need to walk within a 1/2 inch of you to shoulder nudge you when the place is empty.....seriously........
