Douchebags at the gym...

"Douchebags ( posting about people who aren't even ) at the gym..." Less ironic

That was the intention. I'd say more ironic.


Aaaaaand just to make it clear, in case it wasn't, I wasn't calling everyone on this thread a D-bag. I was just referring to the rage out a few posts back.

There was a guy in the gym locker room today... While i was pooping i listened in. He was bitxhing about people using anabolics ... But the worst part is IT WAS ON A FORUM CALLED ANABOLIC MINDS.
 
Piss poor gym etiquette AKA not putting the weights away. Walk into the weight room, need to use leg press and hack squat. Both are piled with tons of 45 lb plates. Even watched as a guy finished his set and walked away. Figured he's taking a break. Nope, dude is gone like the wind. 10 minutes rolls by, so now I have to walk up and remove all these plates in order to use it.
 
people (except me) who use the squat rack for curling-
 
The people who leave their beverage or towel on a machine and then leave and then as soon as you start using the machine, they all of the sudden now need the machine and tell you they were on it.
 
People who ask you if they can jump in. People who ask if you're almost finished. And then just stand there and wait. People who leave a blender bottle and towel at a machine and then are nowhere to be found. People who put their stuff in a locker without a lock so you open what appears to be an open locker but there's crap in it. You go to a machine that's not being used and then some dude appears tells you that he's on it.
 
When I see a machine being used I want to use, I don't bother the person using it. I'll just do something else and jump on when it's open. I don't bother you when you are working out so I don't want you bothering me.
 
People asking to jump on a machine when I am using it happens ALL the time. It's like people just don't have a respect or decency. And most of the time I am too nice and agree to it because I don't want to come across as the douchebag.
 
And I should add, I'm not the person who does a set and then does the next set 5 minutes later. I'll take a minute break at the most. I don't text or take selfies on machines either
 
I love my gym. There was only 5 people after work last night and I was able to super set like crazy.
People at my gym respect each other, put their weights back, and don't interrupt each other.

People who b*tch about every petty thing that people do at the gym.

Besides, If you take a minute break and someone's set takes 30- 45 seconds how are they inconveniencing you in any way? And the locker thing?! I'm sorry you had to make the effort to open the door. Next time they should put a note on it to save you the trouble.
 
And what's the deal with ovaltine? The can is round, the lid is round. Why don't they just call it roundtine?
 
Haha, wow....
I'm super setting and a guy came over, took my v-bar off and started using it, then another guy came and took my other bar off and started using it. I'm pretty sure they saw me using them because there's probably 10 people here.

Luckily, I was finished with my last set but damn, have the courtesy to at lease ask if I'm done. All I could do was laugh and walk away..

How far away were you? I ask because sometimes people are nearby and others completely disappear and then come back with no way for me to know they were using a piece of equipment.

I was close. All the machines were no more than 3 steps always from each other. It was more of a circuit workout.

If you're not using a machine, it's fair game. You don't own the gym.

Never said it was my gym. Read it again and you'll see that I said it would be a nice courtesy to ask if I was done.

Yeah, them asking would have been nice unless they honestly didn't see you using it. I just can't stand the people that are clear across the gym or keep a towel or bottle on a piece of equipment and disappear.

I'm not a big fan of that, too, but it is what it is. Training for this long, I've seen the good and the bad but I'll continue to use good gym etiquette.
 
Not really getting much done at the gym today, too dumbfounded watching this guy do quarter rep squats ON THE SMITH MACHINE.

Lol, did they leave the weights on the bar after and walk to the car with ILS?

Fortunately not lol
Also slowly but surely growing tired of the idiot boyfriends teaching their girlfriends to be idiots too. You wanna learn to work out safely and effectively? Don't hire your fat-skinny boyfriend. Get a personal trainer. Pro tip: I'm available ;)

I saw a guy doing something similar last week while trying to do squats. The strange thing is that his toes were pointing out at almost 180 degrees and his heels were nearly touching. At the top of each rep, his heels were completely off the ground. End of the day, I guess he managed a calf workout.

If he were moving just a bit faster, I would have had to search for that old Oompa Loompa song online to play.

I agree, asking to jump in is being considerate instead of just assuming and jumping it, it's a public gym. Don't want "douche bags" asking to jump in then u need a private gym for your self

Guess I'm just different. I never ask anybody if I can jump in. If I'm using a machine, I don't like to be bothered. So I believe I should never bother somebody else if they are using a machine. I'll just go find something else.

I do both, there's people that automatically give you a "I'm cool bro" vibe from the get go and I usually can just walk up with some hand signals and get a set or 2 in I won't go change the weights because if I have to do that then I just need to wait. Then there's people I may ask if they are doing the same weight or excersize and I get the F out the way once I do mine

For sure, you gotta approach based on feel. People that want to jump in on your last heavy set and strip the bar down = no no.

I just wait for people to finish.

I did have an a^^hole tell me how much more important his workout is compared to mine, and that I was ruining his routine because I got to the power rack before him. I asked him if he wanted to work in with me and he said no. I should have cursed him out but instead I moved over. This fcuker did 5 reps of 135 and left.

I had another guy bother me about the squat rack even though the power rack was open. I finally got annoyed, moved over to the power rack, and watched him do a few 65lb curls and move on.

That's partly why I quit. I don't think they would have talked to me that way if I was a guy.

Curling in the smith area. That's a special kinda retard.

So I joined the Planet Fitness just to use their cardio machines. I walked in and both the people at the desk didn't acknowledge me at all.

Me: Hi, I just wanted to check out your gym.
Girl: Hi, how did you hear about us?
Me: Well, you know, the Internet and all.
Guy: *Shakes my hand* I'll show you around.
Girl: You look strong. You know we don't cater to powerlifting or bodybuilding, right?
Me: Uh, yah, I know. I just wanted to use your cardio machines.
Guy: *shows me around* As you can see, we're a "judgement free" zone and we don't cater to powerlifting or bodybuilding...
Me: I see that. I already have a main gym, I just want to use your cardio machines when I can't make it to my gym.

Was he taking a break from his DJ and pizza-serving duties while judging you in the no judgement zone?

Haha, yup. I'm beginning to think that they are trained to be a**holes. I only want to train late at night when it's not busy.

While he was walking me around the lunk alarm went off. He was like, "do you know what that is?" I replied, "uhummmmmmm"..... (I didn't even hear any weights being dropped)
