Douchebags at the gym...

I've been getting looks like I'm a douche since I've been going to the gym after shoulder surgery. It was three weeks ago and I'm in a big sling, but I'm still doing legs and my non sling arm. Every time I do the DB bench with only one arm or curls people just freakin stare. Maybe they're jealous of my dedication?

Have you nearly fallen off the bench doing one arm db bench?
 
In the gym this morning at 6am( good start to a Sun) Expecting no one there but 3-4 mulling around lifting. I get about halfway through my squat work-out when a guy asks for a spot on bench. No problem go across the gym ( maybe 20ft)!! He gets through his 6 tough reps! I turn around and two A$$HOLES have started stripping the bar down I was using. Now mind you my drink, phone, towel ect are all right there. I say hey WTF??? "Oh are you using this Bro? We want to work in with you then. (Now there are 3 more squat racks here.) and here it comes: "We like to bang out our bicep workout in the rack"!!!! I said: can you curl what's left on the bar(230 after they started stripping down the 340) "why no"!! I say: "GO FU$K YOURSELF!! Are you an A$$ everyday or just Sun mornings!!! First of all the squat rack is for just that, SQUATTING!! Go read a book on training and gym etiquette you dumb ass!!"
He was not happy. Where do these guys come from??? Is there some weird Bulgarian training program that these guys have found that tells them it's ok to curl in the rack??? Because there are guys in every gym that go it!!!! LMAO

I agree. When I found myself in a situation like this a loooooong time ago two cops actually watched for what seemed like 3 minutes and then finally strolled over and said "Sir, we'll take it from here."

It's just general laziness, most people aren't really going to the gym to train. There going because they just want a little bigger arms or a decent chest. They don't care about functional strength, I watch a lot of the "yo Elliot's" on you tube and he had a great response to a question. The guy asked what he should do when his partner isn't with him at the gym to lift the dumbbells up for him for db bench press cause there to heavy for him to lift on his own. Elliot said lower the weight and strengthen the muscles that help you to lift that weight It's that easy. if you can't handle picking a bar up off the ground to do bb curls then you shouldn't be curling it with muscles that are 1/10 the size size of the ones it takes to pick the bar off the ground. These are the guys who take months off at a time because they hurt there back lifting a couch at home.

Just some speeding tickets and C&Is when I was younger and had a heads/cam 98 Z28..

I did have a duster stolen from me and burned to the ground. Had a bunch of money wrapped up in a sound system which I figure was the motive. Needless to say, that thief I got ahold of received someone else's beating as well.
 
High school has started back up. Bunch of em in the gym tonight with no gym etiquette whatsoever! Told one kid to not walk so close to me a couple times. Third time I saw him coming over and didn't stop for him and wound up hitting him with the DB in his upper thigh. I was irritated just enough that I almost wished that it would have thumped his left nut too!
 
That sucks man. I keep most of the kids in line at my gym. I'm in college now but work at the gym both there and at home. So this summer we have kids coming in for "gym class" hours so we have a bunch of them, plus the meat head wana be kids and a few athletes. It can be a zoo sometimes. Luckily I'm back to school, but that college gym has it's dbag moments at times too... the good news is lots of slutty college chicks. And I'm not being mean. I know most of these girls stories, yikes.

If the girls are there to workout, I'm fine with it but put some dang clothes on! If they're there to get attention, go stand on a freakin street corner! Maybe it's just the fact that I go to lift and nothing else. When guys are spending more time watching the gym bunnies than getting done with equipment so I can use it, I get irritated!

Are you guys saying you dont like to see the little bit of underbutt pop out of the yoga shorts when they are doing what ever nonsense exercise they read about in vogue or had their wanna be trainer BF tell them to do. Because I know I do. Hell I saw boobie yesterday when this chick was doing bent over rear delt flies
 
Haha I like it. I get my work done and save the lookin for warm up and cool down! But the ones who try too hard are annoying.

This is true this beezy is the worst! Invalid Link Removed

If she came into my gym I would sweat shame her out of there
 
What the heck is that a troll doll?

Everyone does chest monday!!!

I was a douche...did chest on monday... :/

It's ok, I just switched up my routine about a month ago, and as I walked in the gym yesterday I too realized that I do chest on Mondays now.
 
I have mixed feelings about this kid in the gym last night. Now, realistically, what he was doing was proper gym etiquette, but he kinda took it further than I thought necessary.

He would literally ask "hey man, are you using this?" with whatever equipment he was using next. Nobody was ever on the stuff he was using, & he would also have no shame in asking you mid set. I had my headphones in on the cables & proceeded to wave me in the mirror to get my attention. Like I said, you can't be mad at the kid for not wantin to use somebody else's equipment at the time, but he pretty much went out of his way & into yours to let it be known. lol I guess it could always be worse...

My gyms usually good as far as douche's are concerned, but tonight was pretty bad. This kid used straps for 40lb DB's and then, I sh1t you not, had his buddy spot him for curls. My mind was blown. I've never seen somebody use a spotter on DB curls.

Dude curled it about nipple height and had his buddy finish the lift. I didn't know what to think. I thought it was bad when I saw him strapping up, then he brought it to a new level.
 
Couple tw@ts at the gym today. I went to the leg curl machine and started doing my sets and they come up to me from out of nowhere and say they were on there first "how rude" and I'm like go ahead so I gave them the machine. Not sure if they were there first or not and certainly didn't seem like they wanted to flirt. Either way the one day I want to do legs all the leg machines are taken all the other days everyone is doing chest and arms and back. LOL.
 
Idiots did a chicken dance/shrug hybrid today with 315 standing between the cables. With a belt on. For like 40 minutes. Couldn't even finish my lifts.

Saw one ***got asking around to see if people were using the squat rack and I found an open one. He runs over and was like "yo I was using this" I was like get the **** outta here I just watched your dumbass walking around the gym asking people if they were done." He proceeded to stare at me blankly and then he said "I was here first my response was "you will have to kill me if you want this rack" lol then another one opened up. Thinking back on it I was actually willing to die for that squat rack lol. I really have a hard time with people lying directly to my face..I have a hard time letting that go
 
This dude isn't a dbag but I don't get why he walks around with his shoulders rolled forward (like a front delt imbalance ) and his arms flared like he has huge lats. He just talks to everyone wearing his elbow wraps/pads and barley lifts.... I don't get it. Why pay 35/month to WALK AROUND A ****ING GYM?!

I'll ask for a spot on a barbell curl once in a while when I feel like burning out and want to crank out a bunch of negative reps instead of a dropset or superset

....half the time nobody knows what the hell a negative rep means
 
Annoying guy was there again. Has to get last word.

Also he was busy dancing I think. Weird as usual. Girl in a group of 4 records it.

Later said group of 4 girls were doing negative pull ups... kinda. Old dude was outside just straight staring like he was behind a 2 way mirror haha.

This chick at my gym did kinda the same thing but with 2- 5lb plates. I was watching her in the mirror and thinking wtf?!
 
Saw an older lady chew out this younger kid today for not wiping down the machine he was using. She came up to him and handed him a paper towel and just told him how disgusting he was being leaving his sweat pools everywhere and then something about ringworm. Made me chuckle

I never wipe down benches and stuff mainly because my gym never has any spray bottles. I mean I could spit on a paper towel and wipe down the bench but that's a waste of water.... Ju kno

Eh Im starting to think that this lady is just a b!tch. My gym is well stocked with spray bottles and I sweat a lot when I work out but I always wipe my stuff down. So in between sets I get up to get a drink of water and the same lady starts to give me the same rantl that she gave the guy yesterday. I looked he in the eye and said, "Mam quit playing mom and mind your own business. I wasnt done with the bench yet, and Im a big boy, I wipe down my stuff."

Just a little rant I did when I got back from the gym. Before you say anything about the darkness... read the description. I was an idiot. LOL.
 
I left my empty water bottle and paper towel in the sauna the other day! :P such a douche!
 
Someone walked over to me because I forgot to unload the leg press and very rudely told me to do it along time ago and I reacted like a total douche. I started taking off the plates and chucking them all over. It was shameful..oh well

What makes you think we wanted to see your face anyways? Hehehehe!!
 
There is a guy at my gym. He thinks its "his" gym by posts he has made on FB. He's about 6' 5" 250 and thinks he's the baddest kat on the planet.. I've never seen him do legs, just back and chest and arms. He broke a lot of our highschool football records but did it juicing and I know because I know the guy that supplied him.

Anyway on to his douchebagness... I'm doing rope pulldowns and took a break to go get some water, come back and he has taken my rope off moved the slider down and put on an EZ bar. As I'm walking over I'm getting pissed watching him do his set because he does this to everyone. He finishes and goes right over to the dumbbells to do some curls.

I proceed to undo his EZ bar and throw it at him. This action got everyone in the gyms attention. The bar hits him in the back of his leg and he instantly realizes what just happened! I'm ****ing heated so I'm ready for whatever happens at this point. The dude just kicked it to the side and finished his set then left..lol

Later on he posts on FB about douchebags at his gym taking equipment.. What a tool.
