Douchebags at the gym...

AntM1564 It bothers me when I see people at our gym who match their clothing. I saw some guy on Monday with the most obnoxious skin tight neon green shirt, those tight compression pants, and neon green shoes.

I match all the time. But I guess its easy when all you wear is back white and red...

Have you ever seen those shin guard protectors for dead lifts? Would you ever buy something like that or just use long socks?

Na socks work just fine I am not trying to look like I am about to go sit behind home plate
I already feel geared up when I wear straps and a belt. I would feel like this with shin guards...

Alright. So this guy came in last Saturday and this Saturday and did the same thing. If it was a one time thing, I wouldn't even post about it.

This guy, jacked as hell, but with chicken legs, comes in. He goes right to the hammer strength plate loaded shrug. He proceeds to do shrugs in his stringer, adding a plate every time. He supersets that with dumbbell shrugs. He adds a 45 to the smith machine until there is no more room. He does this for about 15 minutes and leaves. Wtf is the point of coming in for 15 minutes worth of shrugs. Both days were really nice out, he had his stringer on and board shorts. Maybe he wanted to get a trap pump before going to the beach? Regardless, mind blown at coming to the gym for a trap session.
 
I really just can't stand juicers who go out of their way to tell ppl their natural. Today some guy who is about to become a pro bodybuilder apparently was talking to some chick and kept talking about how he was natural. Every time he said the word natural I started cracking up. What purpose does this serve? If you use gear own it up to it. If you truly believe that steroids aren't bad then why would you be afraid to own up to using them? It's not like the chick asked if he was naturAl he just said it randomly. That's why it annoyed me. Regardless of what anyone says being a natural is hard ****ing work and it pisses me off when non natty's try to say they're something they aren't. The only reason they say it is because as soon as they say they use juice People won't be nearly as impressed. It's a lie that serves no purpose but to feed the ego and to seek validation. I love the "it's illegal so I say I'm natural" excuse dude GTFO the police aren't gonna bust down your door for saying you aren't natural. It's not like you have to go into specifics all you have to say is " I'm not natural" the fact it's illegal is a moronic excuse

In all actuality it can give the police a reason to put a target on your back. Related to theft,arson, drug crimes and w/e. Giving them a reason to do so is dumb.

Those who admit to using within the United states are at an especially high risk. Other countries have different laws.
The same target gets put there anyway.

Federations supply drugs however..it's not talked about for a reason.

I promise I can still get an erection! Deca ain't got **** on me! Haha
 
This douche left his plates on the machine and took one off only because he needed to load up the power squat machine. I'm sure he'll leave those fcukers on, too. Rant over... My workout aggravated me a bit... Invalid Link Removed

I really like the look of that leg press. The back pad is nice and low and doesn't sit up high!

It's pretty awesome. The one at my old gym sits up high and it's hard to get use to.
 
Is the seat adjustable? The one at my gym is. It's a nice feature.

Nope. lol, does anyone else freak out when they load up the machine? I always feel like it's going to break and fall on me. ?? As soon as I finish each set, I get the F out of the seat. ??

The leg press at my gym has an adjustable safety stopper in the middle. Redundant safety features make me happy.

Like Chris, mine has the stopper in the middle as well. Plus, I don't load up the leg press. I usually do it third, if not even later, in my routine. Today for example was my hypertrophy leg day, I did leg press third and went for 15-20 reps. Only used 3 plats each side
 
I don't use the leg press often as I prefer to squat but some days you have to take what's available to get your workout in.

I hate having to do that ish. No 45s or collars at the power rack today. Wth?! ?

On the floor, on the bars, everywhere... The worst is the power racks only having a ****load of 25's, 10's, and 5's, but no plates. ?

Yes, this was how the power rack looked like yesterday. I was so irritated!! ?

I know them feels.

Brb, doing a cardio warmup just looking for clips.

Haha, I even went to check the Smith Machines. I would have been pissed if they were there! ????
 
watched a guy last week use clips on the smith machine. Went great with the straps he was also using while doing incline bench.
 
Every time I begin to feel down about not having access to all that different equipment in the gym all I have to do is check this thread out and I feel great again about training at home. Got my 400lbs of Olympic Weight and a good bench with a squat rack ..... no douchebags to deal with ..... all good ;)
 
So maybe this other guy could post the same story bitching about me but:

I was on the leg press with a stack of plates on there and a guy asked to work in with me. I said "I've got two sets left, I won't be long" but he pretty much insisted. So I said "That's fine but I'm not pulling a bunch of plates off for your sets and then putting them back on again for mine" and he said "No, I'll just pull a couple off and we'll be fine."

So he gets in and unlocks the platform and squeezes out a quarter rep before he collapses the machine. So then I STILL had to pull most of the plates off before I could squeeze in and push it back up. Then I re-loaded and knocked out my reps and then he wanted to go again and I told him "No way, wait your turn."

You're such a douche! Jk ?
 
No douche at all. You have no obligation to let someone work in and I've flat out told people, "most days, but not today- I'm working on something"

Welcome to AM candy, I don't usually have to say anything I just look at them then point to the db's and they magically are back on the rack.

I will intentionally go un-rack their plates after they are done, just so they can watch me and realize what a douche they are. ?

You are a rare and fantastic addition to your gym puccah8808 thanks for picking up the slack of others even though I should not be the one thanking you, one is definitely deserved. Unreal people in the gym.

Lol, thank you! I try to respect everyone at the gym. We should always wipe down before and after, re-rack our plates, and be considerate. I won't ever tell a person at the gym that he or she is a douche, that's what this thread is for. ?☺️?
 
We have a guy that does shoulder shrugs with 100, 110 but he rolls his shoulders then drops it and complains about his shoulders hurting all the time. Drives me up the way.

One day I was squating when he dropped them. Loud as hell as there bouncing off other dbs. I walked over and told him if he drops them again I'm going kick jim in the nutts. Well he hasn't dropped them since
 
There was a member here today who I will call 'the grunter'.. actually let's make that 'the swearer'. He was yelling out swear words in every rep of his bench press and I had to turn the music up because it was offensive.
Anyhow the funny bit was he came over to the stretching area afterwards and kicked at a ball that was left there. Shame, he didn't realise it was a medicine ball.. a 5kg one haha. :)
well I don't think he'll be doing that again lol.
 
I'm a douche sometimes.... I train in flip flops. ?????
