While I'm deployed I have those complaints. At the COB/FOB their is only one gym maybe two, for 4-8 thousand soldiers. God forbid if you go after 5pm, it looks like a big social event. Keep in mind most troops are less than 200lbs, and when you put 350 on anything people stop what their doing, put 4 plates on and you think somebody yealled out look at this.

Then people ask what supps you taking and other stuff, after awhile it just gets on my nerves.

For those who have been deployed you know what i'm talking about.

So no, I'm not being egotastical.

Interesting. Understand the supps part but not the "I hate people who don't do" x amount of weight. Either way 5000 for a gym is insane.
 
I hate the Old men in the gym that talk on their cells while sitting on a bench or a machine, Never use it but look at you like "what do you want?" when you ask if they are using it.
I always tell them "I'm sorry I wanted to work out I didn't mean to disturb your sitting and yacking."

Yeah I hate these ****s. They try to look huge instead of training properly to get huge. I'm not a huge guy either, but I dont walk around like I own the place.

Yea the statement "Steroids? Yea I eat that **** for breakfast, lunch, and dinner" in My New Haircut is beyond true with these guys.
 
being from NY I sympathize with those pics

But what gets me going is the smell, dont know why but that sweaty disturbed smell does it
 
oh yeah i forgot to add this too:

The old guy who walks around naked in a crowded locker room.

since when was that ok/acceptable ?
 
i actually saw 'the cell phone guy' last night.


he was on the phone with one arm, and doing cable tricep pushdowns with the other arm.


it looked pretty serious.

With one foot on a bench, one of the floor, and the fellas swinging in the breeze. He won't dare cover them up or get dressed. One day there were 3 of em traveling in a pack. It was like night of the living dead, only really old and naked. At least wear your towel until you get in the sauna you old raisin.

I work for a technical company that employs about 8,000 people in our area; our neighbors are Texas Instruments, Nokia, Motorola, etc...my gym is less than 2 miles from work.

what pisses me off is when I'm at the gym and every piece of equipment is consumed with someone that is doing set of 100 reps of some ridiculously low weight! We have all these engineers/nerds (I'm a nerdy engineer too) come in thinking they're working out, but all they're really doing is wasting their time and mine.

100 reps of 5 pound curls aren’t doing you much good buddy!

I understand that everyone starts somewhere...but pick up a book and read about exercise science, look around at what the fit people are doing, realize that you're never making any progress; but eventually I just want you to stop spending 30 minutes on the bench I want to use!!!
 
I see the fat guy that thinks he's huge and the skinny guy that thinks he's ripped as the same thing.
 
Also, people that think they'll get into shape by osmosis...just by "going" to the gym they'll magically transform into a leaner/fitter self.

I should have also added the guys who wear under armour t-shirts.

The tight ones? I wear the loose ones because I sweat like a bastard (even more so with RPM pre w/o) and cotton t's can get heavy and sticky after awhile...


What gets me too are trainers who either don't know what they are doing, making people do things they probably shouldn't be doing because of their goals, or holding conversations with their clients while they are trying to lift (and basically not pushing them to get the most out of the workout).

omg these are the idiots that piss me off the most!

Im an angry kid, as i mentioned but still this gets me going. *******s who come in the gym looking like that of the above, talking about dbol,winstrol and telling people to use it. Plus the fact that they need a good old serving of STFU. Geez, i dont know why people need to wear designer clothing at the gym, I wear like rags cause i sweat so much that ill ruin the clothing anyway.

and like I mentioned before I HATE getting grilled at. I HATE it when those stupid guidos or w/e you call em look at you as if your not as big as cut up as them, Im sorry I dont juice up and I cant stay lean cause I train naturally. Geez, its the big tough ape shits that wear designer clothing and give you dirty looks with a smirky attitude that really get to you.

Weights I dont mind, because a lot of the stuff at my gym are machines, Squat racks and other stuff, most of the people put away their stuff, but on busy nights when people misplace their dumbbells and im carrying a big heavy dumbbell trying to put it back in its proper place and find a 15 pound dumbbell where the 70's should be, I get pretty ****ing pissed off.
 
Fatties squatting less than 100lbs who refuse to go even close to parallel.

Skinnies who do preacher curls (mainly because the preacher curl thing is next to one of the squat racks, and when I use it, they be all up in my way).
 
Thing that pisses me off most is to see all these kids that have just started lifting doing isolation exercises and not squatting or doing deads. I was doing deadlifts last night, and had a group of 4 probably 15 year olds ask me what that exercise was!!!!!
 
Dude basicly everyone I see in a gym pisses me off.. I mean theres only a few people out of ALL of them there that are actualy doing stuff right. Plus thats how I fuel my workouts, trying to work harder than the people around me.
 
When I am in the gym other people don't really piss me off, I try to shut out everyone else. Music and things that have been going on in my life gives me the motivation or "anger" to kill the weights.
 
People doesn't bother me. I have my ipod blasting. So, I do not hear them nor do i see them when I am concentrating on what i am doing.

And you forgot:
Douche bags with bad forms. We all seen them. Using more weights than they should.
 
Nothing really pisses me off to tuff, except for the wolf pack of teenagers that come in but only 2 of them actually have a membership...it pisses me off because as soon as someone gets hurt, they wanna shut the gym down...

Other than that, all the other things that you guy's see, I do see, but I try and explain to those people about doing exercises with correct form, etc, etc...

usually, i get a thanks a lot. I just remember how I was when i first hit a gym, so that humbles me really.
 
Positive gets me going:
NFL hopeful
One day breaking the nfl combine record for forty yard dash
Bench press record
and Jumping a 38 inch vertical or better.
Hot chicks
and being extremely ripped

What pisses me off:
Guys who are so called experts and wont shut the **** up because they think they know what your doing and you are like 'bro your a mannequin, your not an athlete, your just a big machine that cant move and i respect you for what you do but we train for two diffrent things so live me the **** alone.'

that or people who try to psych you out with big words to make you think they are intelligent. No.

You know what If your fat but your trying and your WORKING that is different than the Beast at my gym who curls five lb weights then go to the Brewsters and gets a double scoop waffle cone when he leaves.

Are you talking about my boyfriend ?
 
man we all have serious anger issues. People who only do dumbbell curls kills me too. Its hilarious at the same time too, everytime your in the gym, they currrl. Their arms are like 15-16 and everything else is super duper small. Cracks me up xD

Ive actually seen people do a combo of all of the things that piss you off, the bring in 3-4 people with them to the gym who are annoying, loud ass arrogant guidos, never touch squats, using too much dbol and winny, and they grab the dumbbells and do shoulder presses and raises at the EXACT SAME FCUKING TIME! and at the very end they leave their weights around, haha imagine that, i top all of you.
 
I get natural 'roid rage.


Like when I do deadlift, bench, or squats due to natural elevations of testosterone. It's crazy. Per se.

I hate to see guys on the squat rack usine less that 3 plates.

Damn man what'd I ever do to you?

Anyway's I F*cking absolutely hate when I'm working out and some dude comes up and tells me how I should be doing my workouts and the dude is a fat piece of sh*t, that obviously can't even get himself in shape but yet is telling me how I should workout.
 
thats why they made the dumbbell my friend, its not only used for lifting, you can wack idiots with it who piss you off :lol:
 
i hate that guy that doesnt have a set routine in the gym and always wants to come jump in and do whatever im doing messing up my routine..
 
last night reminded me of one more:

guys that wear cologne when they workout...of course it's really strong to begin with; but add heat and sweating and it just makes it worse!
 
What about the ones who bench press, but put their feet up on the bench ?


I see this very often, on incline and decline as well.

why do you put your feet up on the bench while benching ?
