Douchebags at the gym...

I lift a college gym.... I think it's the breeding ground for all dbags in bright sleeveless shirts and always saying "bra"... I like when they stack 2 plates on bench and press 2-3 inches while their frat buddies crowd around with the one "spotting him" by grabbing the bar and lifting most of the weight, and at the same time screaming cuz that makes you stronger obviously. I also like when they stand as close to the dumbbell rack (mirror right behind rack) so that you have to walk around them because those 30's he's curling are way to heavy to walk 4 ft backwards so your not in the way.

Sounds like my gym. All the college ***gs lift is chest and arms! There is a select group of guys in the gym who lift correctly. We are all friends and we all feed off eachother. The rest of the idiots just get in the way.

Many guys in my gym..especially the big muscular guys who use gear. They also wear expensive jewelry while working out. What's happening guys? This ist the type of image we need to be sending to the young guys...I hate to say it but the hardcore lifters at my gym are the biggest douchebags. Taking 3 machines at one time, not letting people work in, talking for 20 minutes in between sets, flirting with every girl that walks by, lifting up their shirts in front of the mirror whenever a girl walks by to check themselves out in the mirror. These are guys I hear talking about Westside techniques, bent over rowing 300 pounds, deadlifting over 600, benching over 400. There progress is awesome but the way they act makes you not want to be associated with the bodybuilding lifestyle. Not to mention the amount of shyt they talk about people is unbelievable lol.

lmfao! I've seen guys working out in sunglasses before but this is nuts! If I saw that in my gym I wouldn't be able to concentrate I'd be laughing too much.

There's gotta be some mental illness or maybe he's very eccentric. Fitness USA has no shortage of kooks that's for sure. She always has stories of weirdos that come in there.
 
I know we've mentioned it too many times now. But this guy at the gym today, plaid shorts, red T-shirt with sleeves rolled up, fuzzy slippers. Curled in the squat rack for 8 sets! It looked like 8x3x95 pounds. Complete with full back arch. I took the rack next to him. Me and my buddy did deadlifts, Squats, and good mornings before this guy finished his curls.
 
Here's a new one... saw a guy in the squat rack... not squatting... not curling.. doing standing dumbbell presses with 25s. Maybe he was using the safety bars to place those heavy dumbbells on during breathers in between his sets.

I see that alot. Tonight I booted off a rack some kid that was hogging two racks. One set for inline and one for flat bench and he was going back n forth. Weight was less then 135 on each. Fuking nonsense. My tolerance is very low lately

I walked up looked at both benches set up with weight and looked at him playing with his phone and was like,is anyone using this ? He said "yeah I got one set left " then I replied, wait, you mean your using both of these for benching at once ? And looked at him like he was ****ing retarded cus he was. That's not only selfish and rude but completely stupid. Then I made him wipe the bench off. I wasn't bullying , I like to think of it as aggressive gym etiquette education. If you're not going to use common sense and have curtesy towards others don't expect the most polite treatment in return. Maybe it's too much caffeine and hardcore music but I've been turning into a gym nazi lately. Sorry go back to planet fitness where you don't have to be around guys that take their workouts seriously.

I'd be so pissed at that kid. People that do that **** pisses me off. I was leg presses and super setting with DB lunges. I finish my leg press set and my ****ing DBs were gone -__-, they were right next to me while I was pressing. I see the ****ing guy curling with them in the mirror acting like 20lbs DBs were 100 pound DBs. I walk up to the guy and said , "are you done with MY DBs?" Then took then back. ****ing people . He couldn't have weighed more than 120 lbs too... He gave me a dirty look so I reciprocated with a death stare.

I saw that a few days ago. Guy used the Smith machine bar to rest his forearms on while he did his wrist curls.

This guy just did them with a barbel in 1 of 2 power racks. We have benches other than free benches for dumbbell work. So he basically took up half of the legit equipment we have. Lol

Sometimes I wish I had a needle infected with the AIDs virus. Just walk up bump him in the arm, and let nature do the rest.

that might come back to bite you in the ass....litterally. the HIV has teeth!

but really, that would be ironic, you poke somebody with the HIV, they sleep with theyre girl, pass the HIV to them, his girl cheats on him with some other girl, you pick up that girl cause shes Bi, and then she in turn passes the HIV to you, that you gave that douche in the gym.


see how that can get out of hand real quick? not worth it my man....just not worth it.

heaven forbid the top comes off the pin and you accidently poke yourself!
 
"Why'd I have to pick such a small container to put this thing in, damn it! Just come out already! Ow... Crap not again."
 
I have a guy that's a "bad ass" in my gym. While wearing his Kung fu and dance studio t shirt he does forearms over the smith bar followed by Chinese medicine balls in his hands... No joke I had to walk to the other side of the gym
 
I nominate myself today for douchbag, I recently been doing HIIT stair runs & sprints the last 12weeks getting good results, and the last 2 weeks I have been recovering a lot quicker so I bought a weight vest yesterday and went for my stair sprints, every 3rd set I switch to jumping up every 3rd step....well note to self! Do not try jump up stairs with 10kg in weight vest otherwise u end up on your arse feeling like Tyson has landed a punch straight under your jaw!

Totally forgot as I jump the vest would also jump up straight into my chin .....looks like soup is on the menu ha ha!

Haha, I bet that was a sight. I hit my head alot being clumsy but I've yet to knock myself out.(Knocking on wood). That's awesome
 
Ha ha, well Lucky enough I didn't knock myself out because it's a sports oval and all the young probably 13 year old footy kids were there, so I would if hated to being woken up by some little grommet footy boys! Lol

Took it on the chin and kept going!...eye of the tiger! Lol
 
Can just see it now, I knock myself out... The 13year old footy kids mug me for my keys & I-pod and drive off in my car! Lol what a story that would be!
 
A kid came into the gym today wearing his wrist straps to do....................you guessed it! CHEST!! lol. He never used them but I think that would have made it that much better.

I saw him and automatically thought of this thread. Alot of awsomeness going on in this thread and I'm willing to bet that in the 1893484 pages that this one has been seen before.
 
Another common issue. One kid (probably a jr/sr in high school - 5'10''ishh about 180 if I had to guess) commonly found lifting far more weight than he should.. on everything. Does one set of every exercise while successfully leaving his weights unracked at all 99 locations around the gym.. Within the past week I saw him doing 1/10th depth squats with 245/275/315/335 while grunting like a hog.. Then when I walked over to the squat rack to do "light legs" as he was finishing.. I helped him rack the weights and said "leave 135" he replied with a cocky manner "what, you cant do this big guy..." I told him to watch my correct form as I did 20 full reps for warm up.. Surely he was oblivious in thinking his form was just as good... tisk tisk tisk. You won't find me being a dbag in the gym but I will sure advocate good form.
 
He's the dbag for not racking his weights back up. I caught myself today almost leaving weights on the hack squat. I did re-rack but it took a few due to lifting so hard that I was losing peripheral in my left eye. Has that ever happened to anyone?

Breathing is fine, I find that on legs day that I always feel like throwing up after squats and the peripheral loss was the first time this has happened. I most definitely over-exert myself on legs

When I do squats i usually go hay in 2-5 rep range. After my last set its common for me to puke. It ****ing sucks but hey it isnt a good workout unless you toss up your breakfast :D
