Douchebags at the gym...

So you threw the bar at him for being a d bag?
 
Kid is not shredded. He thinks he owns the small town because he played football in highschool and is now a pipe fitter. He leaves his weight on the bars, takes equipment and I got fed up. Yeah I threw the bar. I'm only human. But I also ask before I jump on something if someone is close to it and I also rack my weight.

I also don't post on Facebook how a gym I don't own is "MY" gym. I know the owner and it isn't him.

Zac Speed, you need to Zach Chill! :grouphug: you're in a safe place! We dont need to go throwing equipment at people that's just silly!
 
I made the mistake of going at noon today. Worse than a Saturday morning.
I despise this sport when other people are participating.

Not a clue. :shrug:

EDIT: I got it! **** sandwich and I'm "the ****" - Nice :D

I mean no offense but at prime time gyms are primarily full of people the age of my children ±5yrs. Honestly, though, the douchebaggery is not limited to that age group :(
Fortunately, like most that age, 4:00AM is counter intuitive to them, and the most opportune time for me to be there.

BTW - I've got a closet full of hangers that would fill tops better than the ones I've seen today. :D
 
You guys need to find better gyms. I know 75% of the people at my gym by first name. Ive lifted with motivated 14 year olds, and guys as old as my own father.

Edit: I do realize that it's not always possible. I'm just bragging that I got lucky to be in a douche-free environment

No offense taken, actually I agree with you 100% I hit the gym at 8 and get out right about the time that everyone starts to show up. and the state of boobage is sad for the most part but just like a 5 point Buck even through they are rare a great rack is a wonder to see!

I can appreciate what you are saying. Honestly, I have plenty of fellowship and relationships with guys I mentor and mentors of my own. The gym is my time.

Fair enough. I'm not talking about sparking conversation midlift, but more stating it's nice to be in a respectable environment, especially with something as personal as your own fitness.

I see it more like the "car wreck" on my commute. Everyone slows down and backs up traffic and once you get passed it you find out it's actually on the other side of the road going the other direction and there is really nothing to see but a guy changing a flat tire. Nothing to look at really. You've seen one you've seen them all. :)

95% of the people that work out at my gym are nice courteous friendly, I could go on with pleasant additives, but its always fun to put the tough guy/too cool guy/ gal D-bags on blast. I find humor in it at the very least :icon16:

I've recently developed some first name acquaintances. I'm becoming the "supplement research guy" to the younger and my age. Recently have had some conversation with some older guys than myself. I play baseball and had an old pro and his dad start talking to me. That's like 60's and 80's and it's nice to have a dose of sage wisdom.

I'm really not old yet...but...well...you know what I mean ;)

I go after I drop the kids off at school about 815 am not really to many except for the group exercise types in a separate room. Just put my headphones on and the world disappears for the next 45 to 60 minutes. Nobody to worry about.

My gym is packed...always and this one trainer literally never leaves. He's the most roided up guy and I hear him telling people how horrible steroids are and that you don't need creatine of any other supplement. I'm sure with all the juice he's pumping he doesn't need ANY other supplement. Good for him. He's like 40 and hangs out with all the teenagers its weird

Mid life crisis anyone ?!
 
Perhaps not a douche bag, but at least a douchey outfit.

Bandana on head. Are you working out or rigging the sails on the Black Pearl?

1970's gym shorts. You know the ones. Really short, solid color with white around the edges. (Picture a Lakers/Celtics game from 1974)

White t-shirt with red around the cuffs and neck (again. circa 1970)

New Balance walking shoes.

White socks pulled up nearly to the knee. If ONLY the socks had the bands of color at the top, this would've been a true grand slam. So close.......

Oh, and his entire workout consisted of 3 sets of DB bench presses with 35s. Done.

LOL! I read the description and instantly thought R.S its not my fault Google had the exact picture I was hoping for :)
 
I farted in a packed steam room yesterday, and it's was not a silent fart either. It was great.
 
Major douche and other words that are inappropriate to say: happened out in the parking lot. Guy comes speeding into the parking lot on the wrong side of the road and almost runs over a little girl (3 or 4 yes old?). The mom saw him in time and pulled the girl out of the way and said something to the guy. He looks at the mom, makes a disgusted face like he didn't do anything wrong. I pulled out of my parking space to go confront him (and possibly beat the crap out of him) when I hear my own 3 yr old in the back seat ask, "Daddy, where are we going?"
 
Tonight's douche encounter: I'm in the squat rack, doing my squat thang, when 2 jarheads walk in and start their "I'm so big" stare down. If they asked to work in, I would have zero issues, but they didn't, so F*ck em! Mind you there is an empty squat rack right next to me, it's just old and rickety, so they didn't wanna use it.
Anyway.... They continue to stare until they finally both let out a big huff and jump on the old rack, and then proceed to......wait for it......do curls!!!
Now I know this is about the 100th time we have seen this on here, but if I took off my 275 so they could curl 55....I may have shat a plaid Twinkie!
If anyone reading this finds themselves being this douch.....kill yourself!
End rant....thank you :)

Worse yet is the guy that I saw yesterday hogging the squat rack doing front and overhead raises with a 35lb plate. Not sure why he felt the need to do that IN the squat rack??? Plenty of open floor area for that crap!
 
I was the douche tonight! I spent an hour on the squat rack while a guy next to me squatted on the smith machine! I don't play nice anymore!! :D

What about 19 and doing 5-3-1 squats at 7AM?




Some of these are true and funny, but some of y'all need to realize we can't cry about everything that goes wrong and acting a fool In return is no better!

That said my gym has been cool lately. I see goofy things all the time since its a college gym and people stop and stare when I start pulling triple BW numbers. Most of the kids have no idea how weak they actually are. I'm not even where I know I can be max strength wise. That said these guys aren't douches they are inexperienced and scrambling to learn. I teach proper form and give advice when I'm asked or if I see a friend doing something wrong. I teach people gym etiquette and kindly call them out on leaving plates on or stupid things.

Oh I didn't realize there was an age restriction for bettering my legs before 6am. Thanks for reminding me. Now is this the same as the race restriction for sitting in the back of the bus... Or am I mistaken?

Why did you quote me?
 
No offense but a guy I know put his "475 squat" vid on Facebook. This is the bottom of his squat.

If I call him out am I the douche.

I just read a story about a New York Union boss and though for every A-hole in the gym getting in the way there are 100 more fat lazy unproductive people who look like this that sleep at work Invalid Link Removed
