I have only changed gyms when I have moved. These were proceeded by 9 to 10 month layoffs from the gym. I never felt comfortable until I got my body back to respectable levels.

You are a real lifter. Don't let that trip you up

Thanks! Sigh*** I just need to get my head straight.


Side note: Well, that was a first time I've ever seen anyone squat 315 without hands... No lie, it looked pretty awesome!

I've done this for close grip bench presses on sets of 2-3 reps because I didn't want to kill myself. Heard some guy complaining about it. I really don't think safety makes anyone a douche to be honest. Was he using the pins?

I can understand doing floor presses, and I don't remember. He was a young kid, maybe 14. His passion is there, I can't wait to see his gains when he gets older. :) Plus, he came up to me the other day and told me he thought my hoodie was cool and he agreed with it. :)

Thank you! I usually do but this gym is different. I think I'm intimidated by the fcukin crossfitters! I saw a girl dead lifting and I was like, "oooh, those bumper plates look heavy!" Pft... they were only 25s.

It was pretty impressive. He did 5 full reps with a straight back.

I was on the treadmill and wondering why it was all wet. I thought my water bottle was leaking until I realized the guy next to me was sweating on my machine.

Turn your head his direction and sneeze.
If he doesn't leave then, start hacking up a lung.

Works for me. :D
 
Out of all the years I've been lifting, this one has to take the cake.

Guy was using the leg extension machine as a hamstring curl machine. First off don't ask me how he managed to do that because I have no ****ing idea, second, that's not even the worst part. He goes over to the hamstring curl machine and begins to use that as the leg extension machine. I was honestly baffled I stood there for 10 minutes trying to figure out how the **** he managed to confuse the two....

This, kids, is why you don't do drugs. Or at least be smart before you do drugs.
 
Got'em
 
Slightly gym and extremely douchebag related. I don't know how or why but now I have to fix this brand new NordicTrack bike because an a$$hole customer decided to keep pedaling when the cord tangled.

I ran into the biggest douchebag of a middle-aged lady I've ever seen at the gym. She was using both cables on the adjustable dual-cable machine, and I wanted to do some hanging ab exercises (and I couldn't do them on the pull-up/chair thing because the arms were in the way of moving my legs to the side at all), so I ask to work in, and she doesn't even answer me at all, multiple times, and I know she hears me. So I start doing a set of hanging abs after she finishes her next set, and she starts yelling at me. I ask what's the problem, and she says that I'm in her way and going to kick her in the face. I ask her if she finished her set, and I'd work in between her sets, and she snaps that she's using the entire machine between sets to stretch. I told her that she could stretch on the outer portion of the machine, and showed her, and she just keeps muttering crap, so I just walk away. Damn lady was essentially using 2 cables and the pull-up bar, and not letting anyone work in at all. It's always the older, not in shape people who are the biggest douches and don't let people work in.
 
I had a run in with an older lady today too. Was leaving the gym with my kids and my youngest likes to push the handicap button so the doors open. He runs ahead and hits it and waits for me. When I get to the door and grab their hands this lady comes barreling through the door and almost knocks my kids over. I give the nasty eye and when I turn back around there's a huge big black man standing there. He goes" the nerve of some people." Holds the door for my kids and gives them high fives on the way out. Went from a negative moment to an awesome moment. He made me laugh. He was older too but they way he said it cracked me up.

I tried I'm sorry guys but I got caught, need to be more sneaky next time. It'll happen again tho I know it. Not the first time it's happened

You gotta be up front. Tell him you're making a documentary about various forms of fitness, and your audience would be seriously intrigued to view his technique!

Fuggit. Just be sneakier next time. :D
 
As stated before, The gym I workout at the most is on a college campus where Im a firefighter. This college kid, who apparently has exams EVERY leg day, is listening to his music on his earbuds, but likes to walk around the gym, singing whatever bullshyt he's listening to as loud as he can, and sing is loosely being used, bouncing around waving his hands like hes filming the video for said bullshyt song, and then ties up 2 different stations. Today was a bench and the cables, taking his sweet fother muckin time between sets. Not supposed to cause controversy since Im a "public Official " but Ive had my fill. Hed push his weight(225 for like 4) then sit up, sing loud as h3ll looking at his phone, then walk over to the cables. I had a goal today and he was tying up my bench as the other ones were legitimately being used. My Captain knew I was getting hot, so he went and asked the guy if he was done and could he go ahead and use the bench. The arrogant @ss looked at him and said, " for what? Cant younsee Im busy on it?". That was it, I walked over and told him "because I want to use the damn thing for something other than an effing nightclub and Im going to move SOMETHING, regardless. I also gave him my "I will dislocate your life" look, and abruptly moved his shyt! Good times
