Douchebags at the gym...

Torobestia said:
I once was using a rack, had weight on the bar, clamps on, and my weight belt hanging off of the barbell. After a set I went to go take a piss. When I came back, someone had completely disassembled my whole setup so they could start benching there. I did not stand for that. But what was really weird is how he seemed so pissed off after I told him off and he was leaving. The bitch had no right to be angry.

Yes I know exactly how you feel. Has happened to me too many times. Even when I put my gym bag on the bench with journal, etc. Someone will come up to my bag...move it to the ground and seem surprised when I return making excuses as to why they took my ****
 
Today I had a guy using up 2 racks, but instead of switching between both with relative swiftness, he would just stand around and talk for 10 min between sets then be like, "I'm still using that bro..."

I can understand that one. But its the people who put their bag on the bench, their weight belt on the dip station, their gloves on the incline bench, and their water bottle on the preacher curl seat to set themselves up for a circuit and complain when someone moves their **** to work in. You can't go around claiming up the whole gym like the exercise equipment is ****ing pieces on a Monopoly board. lol

Oh don't get me wrong I am always courteous when it comes to letting people work in with me. I have no problem with that and welcome it. I just want them to ask first that's all lol. But then again I live in Boca Raton Florida so when someone takes my **** its usually because their just some snob ******* so I really don't put up with it. Trust me my gym caters to douchebags its filled with them. The worst is this picking up girls at the gym thing that's going on and the whole bringing your girlfriend to the gym to make out on the bench press. Its repulsive. Get in train gtfo case closed.

Yea I hear ya. And big +1 on the girlfriends in the gym lol. Or the guys benchpressing twice their girls weight while using their girlfriend as the spotter... wtf.

This is a similar machine I was using. You keep your back on the pad so that you don't lean forward and use your body weight to push the weight down....

Or the people who are sitting on a bench in front of the spot your need to return your DBs to and YOU KNOW they have seen you out of the corner of their eye yet they don't make any effort to move out of your way.

Someone left doritos on the break table one time............. the ranch buffalo kind or w/e they were............ i had a few.. i was so ashamed but it was SOOOO good
 
I try to stick to a strict diet, but every Friday I end up getting something i shouldn't eat, there is a pizza place local to me that makes a 24" pie, I had half. I feel if you do have a cheat day once a week it actually helps keep you on track, I guess in my head it works like a reward system.

Ha ha! Lol
 
Yea I got one guy that comes in with his hat on side ways, addidas gear and arm bands always checking himself out! Man he ****s me.

Another 2 guys that look like brothers where jumpers with hoods over their head walk around like they think they are Kai green! One of them decide to hop on the stair master next to me, and his bopping his head away to his music acting like its not wearing him out, I kept catching him glancing over at my time, after about 10 mins he could barley stand up! He looked like he was going to faint, Then just strolls off, maybe if he didn't dance around like a ****wit he would have lasted a bit longer!

And the thing is most of these idiots tend to use 3 machines at once! They are all over the place!
 
Grunting, loud obnoxious grunting. I heard it through my head phones. This guy was flat db pressing the 90s for 8, then the 100s for 6 making so much noise it was distracting my sets of military presses. Since yesterday was my shoulder/chest day I proceeded to grab the 110s, do 10 clean NOISE FREE reps, and gave the guy a look like "yea bro, you can lift heavy weight without notifying the entire gym."
 
the hoodrat douchebag with the gigantic headphones, listening to music on his iPad that's inside his drawstring backpack while doing 135lb deadlifts and slamming them on the ****ing ground
 
Ha at least that guy WEARS headphones lol. I have a guy for about the last 3 weeks that just sticks his iPod in his pocket and plays it with no headphones

Time for an INTERVENTION.
 
When people on rest sessions decide to "acknowledge" you, your movements and weights/equipment used for a prolonged period of man time.
 
When people workout more of there muscles tensing in the mirrors than they do lifting there weights..... Does me head right in

That never made sense to me because I don't understand how they maintain the mind to muscle connection or proper focus... Maybe they like seeing, rather than really feeling their muscles work... Usually their biceps... Very common occurrence at my gym...
 
when they do preacher curls with a crazy ammount of weight and only go down about 4 inches


brb not fighting gravity haha

Even better when they do this on leg press. Some guys can soak up every plate in the gym and then perform an amazing 6" press.
 
Don't forget guys. Some of those dudes flexing in the mirror could actually be attempting to fascia stretch. Though I doubt it lol.
 
Saw a guy deadlifting a reasonable amount of weight barefoot. He missed the rep and immediately kicked the plates out of anger. Obviously stubbed his toe and tried to play it off. Then saw him in the bathroom taping his big toe up and put his shoes back on lol

:lol:

Are you following the shore work out as well?
 
Dude last week was trying to deadlift. Dude is bigger and taller than I am and has a little skinny guy that cheerleads for him. I guess Zippy was trying for a PR or something because he was literally yelling the whole time trying to lift the weight and then just dropping it (mind you NOT on the rubber coated floor but the carpet) Did this three times with the "cheerleader" yelling COME ON! YOU CAN DO IT! the whole time. After the third time he dropped the bar I went up to him and said "Are you done yet?" He gace the "go to hell look" and walked out. I had multiple people thank me that night and I haven't seen the dude back yet.

And no, I didn't try and show him up by lifting it easily or anything...was more than I can handle.

I'm sure this was right in between the hours of 5-7pm- ish!!! There is nothing that irritates me more than seeing someone do that especially during prime hours.

Bye bye sweat towel, bye bye water bottle!!

It's those people with that whole sense of self-entitlement thing going on... They are among my most despised type of people... No joke... Those are the ones that you really need to step away from before you end up doing something stupid to them, because words don't get through to them, actions do...
 
just joined a new gym that's pretty out-of-the-way, and almost everyone there is cool, minds their own business, and a lot of them train hardcore. Then the guys I went to school with are there, and i don't know them well, and they're the same size as they were 2 years ago, meanwhile I'm not a big guy but pretty cut, and they just start making small talk during my sets. every time. EVERY TIME.

Then there's the guy who copies my routine. actually, he's kinda cool.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT and confronting them usually doesn't do anything but cause mayhem!

I remember 2 women that created 5-6 stations for themselves in the busiest part of the gym, during, you guessed it....the busiest time of the day. Not only were they taking up all that space but they each grabbed about 3 set's of free weights and left them sitting on the floor while they moved through their circuit. I watched in dis belief for a few mins w/ my mouth hanging open. I then marched over to their weight's and picked up the one's I needed and of course one of the girl's came running and said "excuse me that's our's" I continued to walk away and said "no problem, you can have them when I'm done, they will be on the rack where they belong while not being used"

That girl has given me looks ever since!! Evidently they thought it was okay to do at 5:30 in the evening on a Monday night??!!??? REALLY?? TRULY??!!!

Anyway.....

The guy who just leaves the weight on the bar, and never cleans up after himself.

The Group of teens who get a day pass, and just dick around the gym for 2 hours.

The guy who takes the ten minute break between sets (this includes talking for ten minutes to his friends).

The fat guy who thinks because hes huge, he can lift a lot.

The guy who takes your bench, or machine because you leave for 2 seconds to get a weight.

The guy who does BB curls on a bench press station, or squat rack. you see that bar in the stand over there thats what its for!

The cougar swarm, I had this happen last week, I was in the free weights section and out of no where like 15 old chix just swarmed the free weights, and all they do is just talk and swing 5 pounders around for a half hour then they all leave at the same time.

The fat old guy who lurks on young chixs.

The guy who looks at himself in the mirror so much that if he could he'd reach through and give himself a handjob.

Super tight cloths fat guy.

super tight cloths skinny guy.

The guy who has 4 different sets of dumbells and only uses one set his whole routine.

The meathead who forgot he used to be like everyone else, and thinks hes a god now and never talks to/helps anyone like he knows a secret.

People who throw weights just so people will look at them.

I've been training for 10 years now, there's so many different breeds of douche I can't even remember them all. That's why I just where my headphones politely ask for a spot, and then just go on with my day. If I meet a fellow enthusiastic lifter i will befriend them but if some idiot kid wants to guillotine himself with 315 on a bench that's none of my business.
