The douchebags at my gym are very big and muscular claiming the squat rack for well over an hour when there is only one.

I'm not a douche. You can always ask to work in. We have two power racks and it's not uncommon for me to be using one for an hour. However I let anyone work in as long as they at least help load and unload their weight and put mine back on. If you can't ask to work in that's your own issue. Not being an ass.
 
Today at my gym I broke a 70lbs DB and I'm not quite sure how. I was doing benchpress sets and everything was fine for the first 3 sets. I don't throw or slam the weights into the ground because its not necessary with 70s and I don't have a problem placing them onto the ground when I'm done. I was going for 10 reps and failed on the 9th and brought the DBs down to the ground and when I stood up the DB I was using for my right hand had toppled over and the little black plates had fallen off of the bolt keeping them in place. I looked at the bolt and it had simply been sheered in half, or cracked, or something... I just picked up the pieces and put them in a corner and kept going. Had that happened mid rep I would have caught about 30lbs or so with my face.

Wow bro. You're that guy! :) lol jk. Glad it didn't break on you. Today... These two douchers were just siting on the DB benches chatting about some sorority girls. GTFO the gym if you wanna chat. They have a Zumba room for **** like that!

This morning I had an early morning workout which I hardly ever do and this old lady asked me to lift the lever on one of the leg machines and at first I was like hell yeah anything to display my pythons but then she wouldn't shut up about how the lever needs to be oiled up and how she was going to go up front and complain. Now our gym just got in all new machines and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it so I felt like saying "no it's because your old and decrepit, take this D-Bol pill and go do some squats instead of two hours of weird stretching and leave me the fu*k alone".

I had a girl ask me to help her out one day. Then she proceeded to ask me "when are we going to **** " for like a week or two after. She was sexy AF too. Problem being, my wife wouldn't have liked me inserting my barbell into her...

She only asked to strike up a convo but I'm too stupid to realize that.

Stalker status lol.

Haha well I was about to take it up to the front desk and be like WTF why don't you guys go and get some equipment that won't kill me in the process of using it (there have been multiple times where I have had to crank on the little nut holding the weights in place because it was loose prior to using it) but a few guys that saw it break came up to me and were like "damn dude! Look at that! It just snapped right off!" and then one proceeded to help me put it away and said "I saw nothing!" Haha... now had I throw the DBs in a mad fit of alpha rage for no apparent reason and then have it break... then yes, I would call myself that guy ;)

Its the same idea and its not a bad substitute if you dont have time to put in a full GVT sesh in!

but anyway dude wheres your log i wanna check it out
Click to expand...
I may have to look it up again. I thought I remembered seeing something like 100 reps of squats followed by 80 reps of leg press and then leg extensions as a finisher for leg day alone.

I just have a thread in the general training forum, no log.

Another love/hate relationship I have at the gym is this whole Zumba phenomenon. I love when the class gets out and 30 hot ass girls walk by when I'm dead lifting, the instant erection actually helps me when I'm pulling my last dead it somehow stabilizes the lift lol. I hate when I'm trying to park and I can't find a spot because there are 40 cars all of whom belong to the girls in the Zumba class. I also hate that the doorway to the Zumba class is right next to the squat rack so when they are waiting for the class to start they all crowd around the squat rack.

You workout in an LA Fitness? This is the EXACT same thing that happens to me and they crowd around in the same area as well.

Yeah Zumba class at my gym is ran by this SUPER Flamboyant black guy. It's comical to watch because it's a mixture of girls who put on the freshman 15 and are trying to dance it off, hot sorority girls, ghetto black girls grinding and then this gay dude out dancing them all,
 
Our track passes by the Zumba room so it's a good comedy relief when you are running for distance... No matter how long those girls dance, it still smells like body spray the entire time. Why can't the weight room smell like that every once in a while... Sure beats musty ball sack scent.
 
Dirty Dan said:
Haha no I workout at this place called the edge fitness club, and its crazy the parking is what pisses me off the most and their lack of consideration for when I'm trying to squat. But my god they are always so hot lol.

Well I was on the treadmill one day which is on the upper level and after awhile watching the TV gets boring so I started people watching and then the doors of the Zumba class sprang open and throngs of young women in yoga pants and sports bras with glistening skin pour out of there with THO and everything... I nearly fell off my treadmill due to a misstep one time... and I was running right next to my wife!!! :eek:

Haha yours too, huh? I was just telling her yesterday about how I won a bottle of Orange Triad from the Controlled Labs Review Promo and she just rolled her eyes.

"And where was this PROMO (italics for her emphasis on the word) from?"

"Forums, babe!"

"*rolls eyes* Stupid forums!"

"But I'm saving money by not bu-" can't even finish my sentence because she's already walked away in disgust.

I don't get why it bothers them. She sits in front of the TV and watches gay **** like Bachelor Bachelorette Bachelor Pad Pretty Little Liars and Separated at Birth while reading US Weekly, People, and Cosmo... but the moment I pull out my phone to read up on some forum action I'm suddenly no longer paying attention to her and I'm a jackass who ignores his wife because of it.

Lmfao it's bad I don't even try to hide the fact that I'm looking at their asses. They leave the class and walk a straight line and its just one hot one after another. I also like the Total Resistance Training classes they have at my gym because it has hot chicks in it as well that are hanging off cables with their asses sticking out and doing all kinds of crazy swings.

One day I was doing tricep dips on a machine that doubles as an assisted pullup machine. It faces the yoga class. Now granted they have the lights dimmed down their for their mood or the chi or whateverthe****ever but one day I had just finished a set and I turned around to get a drink of water... and you know those black yoga pants that girls seem to be all the rave about lately? Well they don't offer as much coverage as they THINK it offers, especially when they are sitting on their heels and leaning forward with their arms. Beneath the black pants was the was a very visible black thong. Not the OUTLINE... you could easily see the difference of skin to thong.

I think they do this on purpose.

You asked to work in and someone said no? WTF... Sometimes I don't mind someone working in with me. Helps keep me on tempo. Once they finish their set then its go time again. Sometimes when I'm by myself I don't stay on time of tracking my rest time like I should :(

That's when you kick his ass and call us up. Or tel him to read this thread tonight since it will be about him. Haha. But seriously if that happens best thing to so is find another part if your workout to hit and ask him how many sets he has. If he's still an ass... Get bigger. He is being a douche but still focus on your workout.

I get the " you bought more supps!? " ... " no babe, I got them for free on the forums " ... "Right".

I handle the money so she would have no clue if I bought it anyways!

I hate when you ask if you can work in and the reply is "ugh... I only have three more sets" ... Not my question dlckbag.
 
xigotmailx said:
Would you consider someone who is constantly texting on their phone while doing lifts and in between lifts a douche? Because the other day, while leg pressing/hack squatting, calf raising, plate pinching, I was texting the entire time.

Mind you, my rest time never changed and I still kept my rep tempo
Click to expand...

It only bothers me if they're on their phone while using equipment that I need to use. I'm on my phone at the gym too. I use it for music and my workout logs as well, but I try not to sit on machines or anything while I'm on my phone. Just seems like a dick move to me.

I mean a guy has every right to say no, especially if the person asking is going to be in the way. But normally there should be no issue with someone working in. I know what you mean. Haha. Just say yes or no.
 
Dirty Dan said:
Another class that bothers me at the gym are these "Cardio Kickboxing" classes. Now I understand the point of these classes are of course to work on your cardio, core muscles, and overall fitness while at the same time teaching you "self defense" moves. My main problem with this is as a man who has practiced martial arts most of my life, I see that they have these trainers who have no credentials in martial arts teaching or training who then teach these classes and demonstrate to people god awful fighting forms and the absolute worse ways to throw a punch or kick.

Talk to them about getting you a job :)

I got to a power lifters gym and I had asked a guy to work in on squats. DBag tells me that he's not trying to get an arm pump having to replace the weights just so I could lift :(
 
Didn't say anything, I ended up doing the latter half of my routine then came back in the PM to finish up
 
Lol or how about the fit freak complete with the headband, plastic sports pants and matching jacket, headphones, and bulging belly doing karate kicks in the mirror right before struggling on db press with 30lb dumbells. :rolls eyes:

Lol yup :)

This isn't a douchebagery incident but I thought it was pretty funny. So I usually go to the gym at like 6-7 pm. I always find this old guy with some bottles of pills chillin at the same table almost every day. So I asked my cousin who has been going to that gym longer than me. He said this guy is here pretty much from open time until close. Today he was at the table, with books and papers and a laptop spread all over it...while snoring his heart away. I burst out laughing. It was damn hilarious. Even the manager had a good chuckle
 
Was close to being a Dbag today haha. This guy was trying to teach this girl stiff leg deadlifts(I think?). It look all kinds of awkward. Decided to keep to myself and just do my workout.

On another note I benched 405 for the first time today. Not a single grunt or noise was made haha.

I do this everyday with the guys I took in under my wing. It does get old but I make them move their own weights. Some people are like that. Key is to just move on and don't let it phase you.

Nice man and congrats. I act a douche sometimes but there's a difference hahaha. I do grunt but it's typically on reps not on a max effort, and usually because I can't breathe. Not trying to sound cool.

Appreciate it. Only 1.5 times my body weight though. Not as cool as the guys benching 405 at 170 haha.

Honestly I am not sure I didnt make any noise. In one of my deadlift videos I grunt a little bit without realizing it till later. There is a DB at my gym who grunts on EVERY rep no matter what.
 
2 little dbags in the gym today, high school...walked around the gym just moving the weight selection on machines and just loading plates on ****. I never laughed so hard before when the manager *competitive powerlifter* comes out and just freaks his **** on these kids. Swear the they **** themselves
