Douchebags at the gym...

Ok. Outside the rack squatters.... Say you were squatting outside the rack, or just for the sake of this example deadlifting (Brandinoooo I know you dont deadlift) ... You are outside the cage, the inside of the cage is open. Would you let someone work inside the cage in between your sets that you are doing outside the cage? Or would you say no I am using the rack?

Absolutely. Why hoard something you aren't even using?

Yea you know. Like right meow.

What you think somethings funny. Do I look like a cat to you sir. Am I jumping around all nimbly bimbly like? You see me drinking milk from a saucer? I said right meow.
 
I laugh when I see people copying me.

Dude.... I have no idea what I'm doing either! Hahaha
 
Douchebag move, but not necessarily douchebag guys. I have 3 guys in either highschool or maybe freshman in college, but they always come to the gym together and squat all the time (so they can't be all bad..). The problem is they all are different strengths so instead of moving weights of the BB, they simply take up 3 separate racks. That wouldn't be an issue in itself, but they stand around shooting the **** in between sets for extended periods of time and walk around getting drinks and talking to other people. I've had a talk with them twice about the fact that if they want to do this, then fine, but they need to speed it up other wise I will need to take one of the racks. Now they know me so they always say hi and will let me know how many sets they have left.
 
As for out of the rack squatters, that drives me crazy to watch. It takes up even more room for everyone around and is dangerous on two levels. The rack serves a purpose for the safety of the squatter number one and number two, the chances of someone bumping or moving around you would certainly seem like more of a concern than bumping a stationary rack. Luckily we don't have outside of the rack squatters, but if we did, they'd definitely be getting looks from everyone.
 
Gotta grab more video. Usual dbag. He uses a dumbbell he can barely lift. Moves it an inch or two then drops it.

It pisses me off. Even with my headphones blasting.

I think he may be retarded. Sh1t.

Nope. Double checked. He's just stupid.
 
I definitely have a few... Platey McGee who uses all the 10lb plates and does a super-duper drop set... the grunter... the Slavic father and son who always yell and grunt.. who "used to have 22 inch arms".. I love the gym characters though, I am sure I am a few myself to people.
 
Found a douchebag boyfriend! Hahaha I can't wait to get it!

There was this bean stock looking swimmer dude squatting outside the rack yesterday and I'm sure you can guess what happened. He put on 185, put on his Velcro belt, took a deep breath, squatted and his Velcro came undone.... Back basically snapped. bar fell forward.. And I had a nice laugh

Haha not surprised.
 
The gym I joined 3 months ago is freaking disgusting, filthy, and I can't even believe the sh*t they let their members do. When I first joined, the guy said, "yes, you can use chalk and no worries, we'll clean it up, it's our job." Well, apparently the members took it to heart because there's chalk everywhere, plates everywhere (under the machine to tilt it), and bars and ropes just laying around everywhere! I had to move so many things around tonight!

They hire young kids for the desk and all they do is follow the girls around and chit chat. I'm over this gym! I thought it would be great because it's close to work and the hours are great, but I rather go back to my old school gym across town and just deal with the hours. At least they have respect for each other and the weights.

Haha, not me. I don't train in lace shorts and heels.... ;)
 
The biggest guy I've seen in person who is also a trainer at my current gym was lifting one day.

He was going between like 2-3 things and going very slow, and talking in between with people. These kids walked in and took one of the things he was using.. I only knew he was using it because I had been watching a while in the same area.

He said NOTHING when it happened, even though he saw them immediately. Then a minute later pointed at it then threw his hands in the air. The kids asked him what was wrong and he just stared at them a minute, shook his head, and turned around.

I died laughing and said to my girlfriend as we walked by, "God, what a dick. You're a grown ****ing man say something to them like, 'hey guys I was on that, you mind if I finish up first?' don't throw a fit."
 
I can't stand people who put their dumbbells back in the worst places out of the sheer laziness of not wanting to walk a few feet to put it in a better spot. I know sometimes weights will be put back 5-10lbs away from their "spot," but the other day I was using the 115s, and when I go to put them back, after only one set or using them, there's a pair of 50s where the 115s go, and nowhere close to put them back, so I had to put down the weights, move the 50s, and then pick back up the 115s to put them back, since I don't want to be a dick and leave the 115s on the floor in case anyone else wants to use them and not have to pick them up all the way down there. That's today's rant...
 
My man pillow is here! :D

That makes me crazy and happens way to often. But 50s near 115s? Jerk move.
 
Is it me or does he have a huge nipple?
 
For the lasr week, every night, this guy has used the bench for over an hour at a time. All he does is bench, bicep curl (on the bench) then some leg raises on the bench for an hour. No one else can use it because of this ****wit. If he does it again tomorrow I'm reporting him.

Ughh...what a tool. I have one of those at my gym. What's worse is that he is probably around 55 yrs old (nothing against that), lifts the heaviest weight possible with horrendous form, and he is there for like 3 hrs/day. Has no muscle tone at all. The biggest thing on him is his estrogen/cortisol belly. Tempted to tell him he is wasting his time and will only get injured but I just don't want to get involved.
 
He starts singing as well.
 
Pretty sure I'd get my ass handed to me :lol:
