name 2 things that drive you insane at your gym.

1 crappy music so l got myself an mp3 player.

The airconditioning vents pointing straight down on equipment so when you build up a sweat you get cold muscles no good really pisses me off and the maintenance guy keeps telling me he will fix it well it's been 6 months since you said you would whats happening l am sick of talking about it.

impossible lol but anyways i should have elaborated on the situation a bit more...the rack was a plate stack and i had all of the plastic 5lbs weights and other weights rigged to it to make it heavier cuz it only goes up to 200lbs.

Pricks like you in the gym who think thet're god's gift annoy me as they seem to forget where they started at and don't realise everyone needs help every now and again.

And trust me mate, 220 isn't big. I've stepped over larger piles of dog cr*p just to get into the gym.

Skinny guys who think they're big and do too heavy weights don't annoy me.
What really annoys me is all the people at my gym that workout like complete pussies, it just ruins my vibe. They put on like the lightest weight they can find on the machines, and then do 10 reps and stop, and you know they haven't anywhere near reached failure!
On the other hand, I love to see other people working out hard, thats what I want around me.

I also hate the ****ing music at my gym, people put on the talk radio on, or horrible commercial radio full of adverts, and the worst kind of commercial crap, played with a tinny sound. That really gets me!

not dirrected at u but I think alot of big guys envy little guys who are close to them in weight lifted... Like i see on of my friends her brother is about 30 clearly weighs more than me is more dedicated (eating healthy wise) towards lifting then i am.. He tries to tell me "you need to do 10 reps on DL like me and i tell him no." Im gonna do my triples up to a max and hes pulling 50 more pounds then me but but im a good 45 pounds lighter... bottom line when it comes to pulling a max he pulls more but mine is more impressive then his cuz my weight being way lower. and i gurantee by the time im his weight ill blow his DL out the water... just cuz ur 300 pounds pulling 500 doesnt mean a little guy pulling 450 at 200 pounds is a *****. and trying to go to heavy.

If you guys were actually training, you wouldnt have time to notice half the sh*t going on around you. Nooobs.

Pretty good, well-informed statement there mister. There ARE 'noobs' on the site but i'm sure that not everyone in this thread is. The majority of the dumb f*cks we're talking about we see when we're resting between sets, or, as some posters have stated, when they try to talk to you as you're in the middle of a do-or-die set, so speak for yourself c*ckpuncher. I just guess, none of us are 'actually training'; no, i go to the gym to beat one out in between posing in the mirror while i'm wearing my beanie and adjusting my eyebrows whilst observing how 'swoll' i am (What sort of person calls themselves 'getswoll' anyway? - how about 'getlost'?!, far more appropriate).

I'll therefore add another one to the list - any twat that utters the word 'swoll' during their workout, as in "oh man look how swole my ass is after those lunges with the 2lb dumbbells"!
 
My gym is in my home but how's this: I've been busting ass for 45 minutes lifting weights and now I'm jumping rope. My fat roommate walks by, eating a HANDFUL of cookies, and says "man I wish I could get as lean as you... I don't even think it's possible"

And I'm not that lean...

sometimes i work out at my universities gym, just to make people feel inferior..lol

but the other day i was doing low cable rows, and, he had to be a freshman came and asked if he could work in. now the kid weighed probably as much as one of my legs, so i said "can u keep up with the weight". and the kid said probably not...so i said don't bother then.

I can't stand arrogant bodybuilders who think everyone in the gym is trying to get big and look like them, especially in a college gym. I'm not hating, hats off to them for doing what they do but don't give an attitude to guys who are in the gym either just starting out or have no interest in being bodybuilders. Size and strength are only a couple components of athleticism and they don't necessarily transfer to functionality which for some is more important than looking pretty :nana:
 
I have to say that my gym owner is a super douche. He doesnt want to talk to anyone that has any sort of "size" and just gives them strange looks when they walk in, and while they are working out. I found out through one of of my buddies who works there that his kid suffers from hardcore autism and that he blames his college years of steroid use as the reason. So.... anyone that comes in with more than an average build he smarts off too, and makes rather rude comments about not having the balls to stay natural. Last I heard he wants to establish a rule that says workout shirts, t-shirts for males only, no tank tops or sleeveless shirts allowed, and no grunting or dropping weights of any sort.

I guess Im gonna have to pay some more $$ for a golds membership down the street. I was wondering why all the good trainers left for some reason,..now I know.

Someone should let him know you don't get autism. People are born with spectrum disorders and they're usually pretty obvious by age 3. I work with a couple of autistic kids at my school. This may not be very PC... but I laugh my ass off daily at some of the things they say and do! It's like they have no filter!:lol:

Maybe he just needs someone to laugh at him.

Yeah... try that. Walk into the gym tomorrow and just giggle and point. Then blow his mind by wearing sleeves... I mean JUST sleeves... with no shirt. Oh... and then start making K-Mart jokes like Dustin Hoffman in "Rainman."

I meant that the gym owner blames his son's autism( whos like 6-7yrs old) on his own previous use of steroids, as in steroids screwed up his genetics, and therefore are to blame for his child's disorder.

D'oh! I misread your post. It's a shame he's wallowing in his own guilt... which is probably in vain to begin with. Autism is very common. He should be enjoying his son's very existence. Autistic kids may not be "normal,"... but normal's way over-rated anyway.

Yes,.. it is very sad. You should love your child dearly no matter what condition they are in. My little step brother is a FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) baby, and the road has been tough, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

This guys kid has come in to the gym a few times, and starts running around yelling superman. Its quite entertaining, and hes just trying to have some fun.
The day I lost respect for the owner is when I was walking out and heard him tell his wife, " ..go get that fukin kid and shut him up. That fuker annoys the hell outta me."

I was like wtf? Thats your own kid dude. Its really sad... and also my buddy who works there mentioned to me that he treats his kid like the "black sheep" of the family. What a d!ck...
 
i hate when people throw the weights on the florr and yell all loud

i hate when people stair at u in the mirror and then look away all fast when u catch them

bonus i hate those guys that look in the mirror and pose inbetween everyset and rub themselves and then smile and work out haha its annoying

lmfao thats my training buddy to a T right there. It use to bother me but i guess what ever makes ya happy right?

He use to be over weight and lost like 120 pounds and is pretty thick, not really detailed too well, but honestly thinks hes the biggest 19 year old to ever exist, not to mention he hangs his 1 rep max on the bench over everyones head every second of everyday (315 or some ****) even though he started out as a over weight son of a bitch.

My bonus, yesterday i ****ed up and caught myself directly after i said it "you using this bench" to some guy shrugging 80lb dumb bells next to a bench with a water bottle and towel placed 5 ft from it lmao. Just wanted a head shake or nod, cool guy though finished and said "not me".
 
I hate the guys that come in to the gym with their hair geld/glued so that even when they sweat their hair doesnt mess up. Why would you Gel your hair to go to the gym? That and the salsa burn class music that I can hear when Im trying to work out.

LOL, we havea couple of these guys, they happen to be BIG too. My other favorite is the 260lb white gangsta who comes in his IRONED ****ies shorts, knee high tube socks, nike cortez', and wifebeater, complete with a pair of terminator shades that he wears for most of the workout (btw my gym is NOT outside!) hillarious!:nana:
We got a lot of the characters down here on the beach. My workout partner (Unrealmachine) was just about to start 2nd set of lat pulldown when this like 55 year old "fitness model" swoops in, sets the machine to a full stack, knocks out 8 reps, looks back and says,
"Can you do that?"
"no..."
"Your to skinny man!"
(actually since then my partners been workin with a full stack, maybe it hurt him inside just a little LOL)

for some reason this reminded me off this fat trainer/gym worker who would spray the equipment right next to me with cleaning chemical when im working out 2 feet away, she would spray huge clouds of the **** in the air, **** would make me choke uggg, i mean come on i understand cleaning the equipment but put the nozzle to the bench and spray it from like a few inches away dont just spray fzuckin clouds of it damn that shyte piiii:cussing:ssed me off
 
1. How bout those people you see in the gym doin their biceps from the moment you walk in there till the moment you leave... every day, every time you come in the gym? Yet I can still fit my hands around their whole arm.

2. That somewhat fat person who gets off the treadmill dripping sweat with every ounce of liquid in his body, and comes over to lay on the bench you use every day, then DOESNT WIPE IT OFF? If your not sweating and use a machine, whatever.. I can deal with that. But if I can lay down and slide off like someone put vegetable oil on it.. get real.

3. (Not picking on overweight people) That same overweight person then goes to the leg curl, which is right behind the abdominal machine Im on, and cuts the nastiest fart you have ever heard trying to get the first rep up.

What in the hell is he talking about that was yesterday I am so fing confuse on what he was saying so I just made sure my A$$ was hitting the floor when I was squating!
 
well im guessing they wanna save themselves the trouble of having someone fall over.

I reckon if any of the half squatter i see actually squat ass2grass they'd just topple over haha

ass hitting the floor is pretty hardcore,
but squats should most definitely not feel comfortable by any means.

lol yeah the guys at my gym with geld hair are all roided up and huuuge, and they are always in the gym, I see them everytime I am there.
 
I had one yesterday that made me want to actually smack the chick doing it. Some background. Chick is one of the "cardio bunnies". She always wears spandex that shows all the squishiness in her hips and butt. And a sports bra tank top. To her credit, she does have a bit of ab muscle that you can see when she sucks it in, but overall still has a decent amount of bodyfat. She carries all her junk in the trunk. So she comes in, spends an hour on the stepper or treadmill, then goes and does the body combat or body jam class, then gets on another cardio machine. She hasn't changed her look in the 2 years I have been there, except for the color of her spandex.

So yesterday, I finished my cardio and was on the mat stretching, which is on the other side of the gym from the weights. She walks by with a set of dumbbells in her hand and goes and sets them on the floor. I though maybe she was going to do walking lunges since there is a large clear area over there. She walks off and comes back with another set. No keep in mind, it's almost 6pm and there's about 75 people in the gym, so it's pretty packed. In the 10 minutes I spent stretching, she carried over not 1, not 2, not even 3 or 4 sets of DB's. She carried 5 sets of DB's over and lined them all up on the floor nice and pretty. I thought what the hell is she doing. Then she carried a 15lber across the room and puts it down. Then just walks around for a few minutes. I almost lost it, and I wasn't even trying to use them. That's the first time I was seconds from being a tattle tale and telling one of the trainers that she is being a bit "inconsiderate" and hoarding all the lower DB's on the other side of the gym and then not even using them. I have no clue what she ended up soing with them, because I just had to leave.

It goes along with the guy that does drop set shoulder raises and hoards all the db's around his bench. Just do them near the rack and take 5 seconds to walk over and get the next set. Or better yet, when there is 100 people in the weight room, do them on a cable machine or just another day.
 
so that's where all the f**king db's go when I'm trying to do shoulder exercises and can't find any 20lb'ers...chunky cardio bitches...

actually no... I make it a point to build a fort out of db's in the back of the room. Its normally pretty epic. Still trying to figure out how to build a roof for it though... Its where I do my warm ups before I start curling all the weights I borrowed for my fort. You understand right? Its curl day... everyday.

You don't know how to make a roof? Iron shingles man! Grab some of the fixed curl bars, or hell grab some barbells for greater effect, for cross beams and lay plates over them in a shingle-type fashion. Do I have to think of everything?

And we can use all of the resistance bands to secure everything together, and bosu balls for furniture.

I wish I was good at AutoCAD, I want some schematics on my desk 5 minutes ago!
 
do you think we can fit a bar inside of our fort? itd be so chill to serve jager bombs in the fort
 
we could also hijack the 2 benches in the gym to use as a really tiny bar for our jager bombs... or just awesome gym-esque furniture... errbody will be jealous

Man use the roll up floor mats for the roof that those skinny b!tches use for millions of sets of ab work. And you can use the resistance bands as a slingshot for smaller DB's incase anyone tries to bring down the fort. :swordfight:

My First Post Gentlemen, and THIS is what pisses me off. The knuckleheads who don't seem to possess even the most basic instincts of self preservation that, ignoring the hat pulled down,ear phones at full blast, non verbal communticatio,Black eyes from Thai training, that try inspite of this to speak to me. Usually to tell me how much they think they know(unimpressive.)

Any friggin tool who has not spend an inordinate ammount of time being properly schooled in a "REAL" gym like: Metro-Flex Arlington,TX. back when Ray,Ronnie,Mike and Johnnie were there. Where you learn very quick to be about buisness or be crushed.

I know all about metroflex man... Your post just sounded like everyone should be down there learnin how to train.
I get your point about not interrupting someone midset... that sh!t is common sense...
 
Cheers Mate I got ya... Yea one would think it would be common sense. Surprisingly NO.
I had a guy pull my head phone out to ask me if I was still using the DB under my bench.
I could'nt freakin beleive he had actually done it, the management saved his life and asked him to leave.
