Douchebags at the gym...

This!

Although I admit that when looking at a picture online of a nice tush, I don't immediately think "did they get permission to take this?", I usually just enjoy the pict.

Those people should just ask lol. I would be far more comfortable with someone if they just came right out and said, "hey can I bother you for a moment to take a selfie.....of your butt!"
 
There are lots of helpful videos on the internet you can use and you can ask that guy to film you (with your phone of course) this time to check your form lol
 
Hahahaha that's would be amazing lol. I don't know why I never thought to simple google a specific lift. For a smart person I am very dumb sometimes.

Chest I hit a most muscular, back: lat spread, biceps: i do side chest, and triceps just do triceps pose. Flexing your abs out all the time is pointless in my opinion. I retract them tight and do a vacuum pose when I'm working them you get a much deeper burn.

For me it's usually variations of side chest pose, lay spread, and various arm poses.

Vacuums have been very helpful IMO. Having a tight waist, and being able to keep it in REALLY helps with poses, especially the older Arnold-era poses that I'm more of a fan of. Being able to keep your waist in during a lot of these poses makes a huge difference, and really exaggerates the v-taper and chest size. If you have a huge chest but your gut sticks out just as far or farther, it looks bad. But if your chest is out much farther than your stomach, which tapers down to your waist, it gives an illusion of a much bigger and more aesthetically pleasing upper body.

Invalid Link Removed Here are mine, I almost exclusively do them conventional stance, I found this video on youtube: Invalid Link Removed on doing them sumo which most women prefer since it's more hamstring and ass than lower back like a conventional one.
 
muscleupcrohn I always see people killing themselves with crunches and never doing vacuums
 
Lol you got this, it's not ideal but if you use the smith machine you can set the guards to where the bar would be if you had 45# oh either side and just kind of train your body for the movement. Then once you're ready, ditch the smith, grab an olympic bar and toss a 45 on each side and go to work.
 
Believe in yourself!

I hope you reported him, who knows how many times he has done that to other females just trying to workout. I could have sworn I saw a guy do that once but no way to actually know if he did so I couldn't say anything.
 
I'm such a narcissist if I caught someone snapping my pic like that'd I'd offer my autograph lol

I have a douchebag story from just yesterday. I sadly belong to planet fitness (I know I belong because it's all I see written everywhere in the place) but planet fitness has created a whole new category of gymdouche given their very relaxed "hey you don't need to work out if you don't want to" attitude. Back on topic. My home planet does not really follow the dress code policy so we can wear pretty much anything we like (with in reason) and obviously some things that are worn do have a tendency to draw welcomed and unwelcome attention. My view is if you feel that you are getting unwelcome attention don't wear it again! Okay...back to the douche.

I was doing what I consider deadlifts (I'm sure I am doing them wrong) when I see this guy in jeans and polo shirt move over and sit on an incline bench that was directly behind me. He acts like he is doing some type of lifting to justify his time at the gym, and for that I give him credit. After one set he stands up and starts playing with his phone. At this point he is obviously just lurking around so I turn off my iTunes so I can just be aware of what this guy is up to. I go back in for another set of my own while I keep an eye on him in the mirror. As I move to rest the bar on the floor I hear the sound of a camera go off. I turned around and asked him if he just took a picture of me and he starts to give me some excuse that he just took a screen shot. I walked over to him and asked him to see... He ran off right out of the building.

And that is my douche bag story of the week even though the week isn't over yet. I know this may not be in line with the other douche tales that we have on this thread but I just wanted to share!

You should have grabbed him by his ear and slapped the **** out of him and then took him to the front desk and had him show them what kind of bs he was doing to girls in the gym. Then demanded the police be called just so they learned their lesson on not running a gym with proper etiquette and respect of other members! Then told them that if they didn't cover your membership for the rest of the year you would file a lawsuit against them. You don't deserve to be treated like that. A guy checking you out (Glancing) from a safe distance is one thing, but a guy actually taking pictures of you while you are bent over is another. That should not be tolerated by anyone.
 
I know it shouldn't but he caught me on a good day and I also have this odd ability to turn not so proper behavior from other around onto themselves (I am my fathers daughter after all). If I ever feel threatened I would certainly do things your way.
 
Hit him with a 25# plate, right in the old nutsack, he'll never try to pic creep again.
 
you got this girly! I'm glad I could help! If you have any other questions just ask! :D
 
So... this happened... no words can... walking lunges and no explode maybe? I just know I will never be using the 50lb dbs again

What's in your pants???
 
Just watched a guy bench press using the smith machine...now that's not a big deal, I do that as well, but he was using clips....
 
I don't know if this guy is a bit crazy but every time I see him, it's the same stuff.

-I'm moving to Santa Monica so I can train for the Olympia.
-I train at Gold's in Venice.
-We make big bucks at the Olympia.
-I've been married for 30 years, since I was 20, now I'm 47. (me: what?!)
-I love you. I can't believe there's a girl that actually lifts here. You need to move down to Santa Monica, too!

In my head: Get me out of here!

Does he at least look like he could compete at the Olympia?

Kinda, if he diets down. He looks more like a powerlifter. He said that he usually competes around 300-320 lbs. And he trains celebrities only so I may not be able to afford him.

There is this huge dude at my gym, like 6'5" and a lean 300, we made a joke "safety video" once where he's about to bench on the smith and I stop him and we fast cut to shots of us putting clips on either side of the bar and then we cut to us in front of the camera saying "safety first!" simultaneously in front of the camera. It was actually pretty funny. Wish I still had it.
