Douchebags at the gym...

i swear to ****ing god I was trying to deadlift and this mother****er kept walking behind me and talking with his buddy. 5 minutes went by and this guy didnt move. I turned my music off, stood up, turned around, and said to these two ****ers "Hey guys if you dont mind im trying to move weight, so stop moving your lips and take your conversation elsewhere." I got a disgusted look since im only 19, they mustve thought im some type of douchebag :) lol. But seriously I've been getting really heated at this sh1t around the gym lately. ****.
 
I'm definitely not one to say negative things about overweight individuals that make the effort to go to the gym, but it's only admirable if they're actually doing something. A few days ago I saw a very large girl who apparently can do a split, and would like everyone possible to be fully aware of this. She positioned herself practically in the middle of the gym and sent text messages on her phone while doing a split for the better part of an hour. Every time that someone walked past her, she would look up briefly to see if they noticed her. It didn't bother me until her two friends who were nearly the same size but with faces covered in sweat from the weights that had been lifting (mainly curls and crunches but better than nothing) came up to her and said they were ready to leave whenever she was. She smugly replied "I've been ready, you guys should cut this in half or something next time." I made a mental note to be sure to find a way to give the other two some form of encouragement the next time I see them there.

Don't you love that? I had two groups have conversations in the middle of the area I was using, first on deadlifts behind me, then on the pull up bar when I was doing core, which I had been doing for the past 5 minutes. I'm sure they noticed. ah well. I have a rule for my friends at the gym. Lift more, talk less.
 
If you have enough energy to carry on a conversation in between sets then your not lifting hard enough. That's my motto. Hell half the time between dead lifting or squatting sets I can barely stand.

exactly. unless you are purposely resting until near for recovery like when training for power or max short bursts, like for heavy singles or sprints, you should feel like you are dying. If not, your not putting enough effort into your sets/reps.
 
Last night Habibi and his middle eastern pals ( 5 of them ) were playing a game I like to call " how many hadjis does it take to lift a weight?!" Seriously , every gym I go to in south eastern michigan has these packs of early 20 year old Arabs that seem to think its a team sport. They never really lift , they talk hadji gossip to eachother (I assume that's what they're doin) , look at their "muscles" in the mirror as if its automatically grown after some half assed cable curls and waste space all along wearing the closest thing to gym attire in their wardrobe which usually means a Nike shirt and jeans with some ugly ass high tops. When you actually need to use the equipment they're wasting time on they look condo fused when you ask to use it and move on like a school of fish to get in someone else's way.

I apologize to anyone of middle eastern decent. If your reading this your here and you're most likely not like that but its true.

Man same thing goes on at the gym I go to. There's about 5 of them, 2 of the lift while 3 of them just talk around them and maybe rack the weights. I saw them 3 times last week working on curls, shrugs and staring at the mirror. The 2 that do lift don't look like they are over 125 soaking wet. I think my forearm is bigger than one of their thighs its ridiculous
 
Actually theres one Arab guy at my gym who is a complete monster. Trains legs twice a week too and doesn't curl in the squat rack. Miracle.

I cant stand when my friends talk to me at the gym lol. I just lose focus and it blows. I was doing DB Bench the other day, really into it, about to attempt 85lbs DBs after previously doing 70s. I'm in the zone pretty much and then my friend taps me on the shoulder.... concentration broken. STill got them up but took a little bit to regain my focus. I'd rather just keep my headphones in and keep chugging along my workout.
 
Had a guy offer to spot me doing DB shoulder presses the other day once I got to the 75s so I said yes thanx for offering cus its hard for me to get em up but not to press. Well I have him hand me the left after I get the right up on my own then he jumps behind me as I'm stabilizing the weight preparing to press and he starts pushing my elbows up like its my last rep to failure as I'm trying to get situated . Im like , whoa whoa dude as hes trying to force my elbows up and my arms wiggling all over the place like a tree with a boulder on top. He wouldn't even let my elbows go as I tried to drop the weight to my knees! Dumb **** almost caused me to dislocate my shoulder. I shoulda known better. I know he was only trying to be helpful but I wanted t knock the **** outa him for ****in my **** up and almost seriously injurying me in the process. Thank god It was my second to last set and wasn't my past using 85s or 90s . Regardless he pissed me off so bad I went to another exercise. Hard to say who the douche was , the guy trying to help that was clueless or the guy excepting help from a moron. I think we're both guilty:-/
 
I had a guy ask me to spot him on military press. I said sure. He says he is going for 6 reps. He gets to the 3rd rep and it starts going back down. So I help assist a little. Of course he has to go for rep number 4. This time I have to help lift it. Guess what, yup he has to go for rep number 5. I am basically up right rowing it at this point. I pull the weight back to the rack. The bar misses the rack. I sh1t you not he was going for rep number 6. Trying to get reps at any cost.
 
So another one puttin myself on blast tonight. If/when I decide to be a douche I like to pretend I'm in a movie and do it for the timing and humor regardless how anyone else sees it. Most the time I'm the only laughing and look like a dick , but hey at least I got a laugh and you can always apologize for words. Later on it'll make a funny story once the buttthurt wears off... So anyway I come home tonight after working out and a nice little 12 mile ride on my bike and I'm all wound up. I walk in and my wife's getting out of the shower so being that I have a penis I decide to make a move. She tells me "no I'm still on my period". I reply without a thought "is your mouth on its period?". I thought it was funny as hell and luckily got away without ducking a busted lip. Luckily she adores me and knows I love her like crazy and have a sick sense of humor. Tonight I was a post gym douche ......

P.s. feel free to use that line if you dare ;-)
 
Seen to guys in the gym today must of been about 20-22 years old...scrawny as guys...they start using the smith machine for bench spotting each other with 15kgs on the bar..... I'm not one to look down on people but I felt like walking over and telling them they are underestimating themselves lol come on 15kgs.....plus spotting each other on a smith machine...I had to look twice and have a laugh to myself!

They get mad at me because I yell at them when we workout... haha. It's okay because I'm bigger right? Now only the tough guys can stick with me and I would rather have it that way. I have one guy now who is there everyday, quiet and doesn't complain. I have 3 other guys who are off and on but aren't too bad.

I know what you mean, days like that I just tell them I am in the zone, put my headphones in and I go to town.
 
Haha I could see that. Definitely don't like when people "help" me for no reason. But damn he had no business trying that weight. At least warn me "hey I am weak so expect to pull this weight off my lifeless body." With that said if he ever asks for a spot again I will decline.

Periods are the motherf*cking devil. When my wife's friend comes to town, she is like a completely different person. Sometimes I call bullsh*t and tell her she doesn't need to act like that even though she is on her special time. It's like, "Hey, where is my wife and what the hell did you do with her?"

divorce. Problem solved :toofunny:
 
Personally I hate those who leave the plates on the barbell or on the ground after they finish their sets. So you can't tell if someone is still going to continue em or not..

My go to rag joke is..."i don't trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die"

Lol i said that to my wife and her chin was glued to floor! One of the better comments to make by far!
 
Walked into the gym today to a guy popping a zit in the ****ing dumbbell rack mirror. I looked right at him and was like "really dude, this isn't your ****ing bathroom" he put his head down and walked right out of the gym. Probably one of the grossest things I've ever seen someone do at the gym.
 
I have these two older ladies that are at the gym every morning when I'm there. Prolly about 50 years old. I was there for forty five minutes this morning, and they only did leg press and leg extension with what I'll assume is hardly any weight. They would switch spots occasionally but only those two machines. The thing that is nuts to me is today was the third time this week they were doing the exact same thing. I just dont get it :thinking:

Oh come on man it was his face, his face!!! Bad mental pictures. Lol
 
So, a bit different than other entries but here goes nothing.
Today was an off day from lifting. I decided to do HIIT because I like it.
Long story short, about twenty minutes into it with the treadmill at 12.5mph, it just stopped. Almost fell on my face.
Treadmill= douchebag.
 
Just got back from one of the douchiest gyms I've been to. Looked like people were practicing dance moves in the mirrors and that crap. One kid had 80's in each hand to do shrugs and it looked like a Michael Jackson dance move popping one shoulder up at a time about an inch. Another kid strapped on some gloves for pullups and lying tbar rows with 25 lbs on there.

Worst one of all was this personal trainer. The PT is coaching this lady in the power rack when I get there. Looks like they are almost done, no weights on the bar, just standing around talking. Wrong, the lady gets on the ground for a floor press with no weight on there. Goes for about 10 reps and racks the bar. Lady is sitting on the ground still and the trainer sits on the bar and they have a little chit chat like its nothing. They go to the lying t bar set up and just do the bar and sit there for a few minutes so I think they are done. I go to the power rack and trainer stops me saying they aren't done. I ask them when they are gonna be done and they say only a few more sets. It took them 30 minutes to do a "few more sets" which was 2 sets of each exercise followed by gossiping for 5. Pissing me off.

I swear I just saw Rick Moranis (sp? guy off of ghost busters and honey I shrunk the kids) come walking out of the gym! Looked like he put on some fat and was trying to grow a beard! LMAO!!
 
Dirty Dan said:
So for the past week I have seen this Spanish guy with a typical 80s Jerry curl and a pencil point mustache on the treadmill with a different fat chick next to him each day. At the end of their hour long walk he kisses each one goodbye....I want to call him a douche but I'm not going to deny being impressed by him lol.

No offense taken. Most of them are skinny douche bags with bad form that only lift half as much as they should and pretend they know everything. So, yeah I know what ya mean, that's all I deal w/ everyday. I have a few I am trying to improve.
 
This dam kid that is always there wearing his regular clothes has been training pretty well, so props to that, but this mf'er needs to stop flexing in the dam mirrors
 
Today's d bag... I was doing incline hammer curls and super setting them with dips. I finish my set and jump into my dips. I was gone for less than a minute to finda d bag DUMBELL BENCH PRESSING the 30 lbs dumbbells I was using to curl. He said, " oh my fault bro they've been sitting there for 10 minutes "... With my bag and all my **** there while I was gone for 45 seconds. F that guy. Who benches with 30lbs dumbbells..... He was a grown ass man too at least 30. Christ. Leave my **** alone.
 
Of course walking into a gym it's a known fact you'll have to wait for the bench presses. Atleast at college recs anyways.. had a kid do around 12 sets, 5 reps each, with 95lbs. I don't mind waiting but it took him 25 minutes(took leisurely breaks in between).. I just wanna know what kinda program this prick thought of.
