Douchebags at the gym...

I get a kick out of the guy that clearly bought an abercrombie polo or hooded shirt that cost an easy 40 bucks and trims it so far in on both sides that you can see his nipples flashing at you like high-beams. It does not improve your workout or mine by exposing your nipples!!!
 
Ok, a story then my top three pet peeves.

So there's this douchebag at my gym that looks like the mutant offspring of a chimpanzee and a walrus, the dude has the biggest lips I have ever seen and the head the size of a basketball. He's not small by anymeans but of course has bird legs. On one side of the gym theres the cable station with a trio of pull up bars all clumped together on top of the machine. He proceeds to sprint, yes sprint, across the gym jump up into the pullup bars, pull up on one grip, let go and grab another grip mid air and continue this for 30 sec or show then he jumps down and starts shadowboxing. He looked like such an idiot sitting there swinging and flying around on those damn bars, took me back to kindergarten on the monkey bars, I mean HOLY ****!

And now top three things that piss me off...
3)Guys that wear arm bands and bandannas with a skin tight under armour shirt and do DB bench with 50s.

2)Guys that carry a notebook around and after each lift record how ****ty their workout was...

and

1)Anyone that acts like a douche at the gym. :aargh:
 
Wow Warhammer, I'd pay to see that dude workout. That has to good comedy, just picturing it was funny as hell. The dude is turning the gym into a hybrid of basic training mixed with a troupe of handicapped cirque de soliel performers

This one stuck out because a few people I know take their notebook to the gym...including ME!!! But there's a difference between pulling it out to keep track of what's next in your routine, and how many reps you just did - and then there's the "spend more time writing than working out" guy.

Dude - did you bring a freakin' diary?!?! "Dear Diary:sigh1:, today my form was impeccable on squats, but BOB's form was horrible!!! I watched him for a solid 20 minutes and finally had enough. I just don't understand why he got so upset when I grabbed his ass! I was just trying to help!!!"
 
I like the guy that always pressures my smaller workout partner while we're doing supersets saying "you done with that bro?" No, he's not done, he's my partner, wait your f'ing turn douchebag. You have eyes, you can see we're using it.

Also love the small lil dude that looks like it's his first time at the gym, and when I get done with a set he is too stupid to realize the equipment is in use, takes the liberty of adjusting it to fit his needs, and then completes a half ass set and follows it up with a minute long text/facebook session on his phone waiting to do his next set.
"Scuse me guy, can I get back in here and finish my sets?" "Huh? Oh..yeah."
Idiots...
 
How about "I used to" guy. As in: "yea I know I struggle benching 150lbs...but I used to bench 300lbs!!!" Huh? Yea I and used to do a bunch of coke, what's your point?

Yeah! I got a guy like that at my gym at work. Comes in with jeans and talks about "I used to be able to bench a lot" and "I had stretch marks on my back from how fast my muscles grew back in the day."
He then proceeds to ask me "how's my form" while I'm having an aneurism trying to get my last 3 reps out, and tells me he thinks 3 sets on bench and some pullups will be enough to hold him over for a week.

I hear ya man!

What about the guy that as soon as he sees somebody bigger or more shredded than him says "I would never wanna be that big" or "I would never wanna be that ripped". Yeah like having a big ass arms with 4-5% BF became a bad thing.

Very true neofrost, if you discreetly write down real quick what you did thats fine, but alot of guys pull it out sit down and write for 2-3 minutes! Its like WTF are you ****ens or something holy ****, put down the pen and get to work!
 
Well two more to add today.

One was wearing sunglasses inside and doing lat pulldowns by simply rocking back and forth at the hips and their was an older guy on the machines lifting with dishwashing gloves on! Hahahahahahaha
 
There's this Marine I worked out with a few times at Planet Fitness (yeah, I train at the home of the Lunk Alarm -.-) and he always preaches to me about God now. Every damn time. I mean, I don't mind talking about religion or anything I have an open mind... but he's one of those super religious, crazy Christian types that I'm not too fond of. Other then that, nice dude.

There's also this one kid who always wears the same cut off shirt (which is way too tight) and refuses to take his hat off during his workout, he always copies my workout and he constantly flexes his 10" biceps in the mirror. But funny thing, he'll copy all my upperbody workouts but never lower body.

There's another group of kids that come in and always wear TAPOUT hoodies. They're just top heavy frat boys with cigarette legs that barge into the weightroom and do biceps and chest 3 times a week for about an hour and a half everytime. And they always just come up to whatever station you're at and take plates, sometimes even from the barbell I JUST loaded up. Douche-baggery.

And the fact that every guy at Planet Fitness is top heavy and curls on the squat rack longer then I actually squat. Ridiculous.
 
What about trainers at the gym? I cant stand most those f*****s.
They make like what $8 an hour and act like they own the place.
I think they are all pissed cuz training blue haired old ladies 8 hours a day isnt what
they thought they were signing up for and now they have ****ty attitudes about it.
 
Last night there was this guy at the gym I couldn't stand...had to go out to my car and get my ear buds and rock some Lamb of God to take my mind off it.
I'm not sure if he was doing this because he truely believes it helps him, if he was doing it because there was an average looking girl in the gym, or if he had just started doing it when I walked in because he wanted me to notice how intense he was.

When I first stopped to see what was making him breath so hard, he was doing dips, only dipping down about an inch and then back up. I stopped and stared at him and when he was done he said "sup bro."

Hard to believe he got that impressive 32 inch barrel chest and those horseshoe twigs from doing one inch dips! This guy looked like he had never seen a gym in his life...

I agree with that, and I love it when the smallest trainer in the gym comes up and tries to give you advice on form and what parts of your body are being worked out like you don't already know. If their advice really worked, maybe they'd be bigger.
 
1. People that never re-rack the weights
2. People that try to superset on 2 pieces of equipment when its overly crowded and refuse to let others work in with them.
3. When people throw the dumbells down

I hear that ALL the time mate, and not just in the gym.

I'd love to be 180-200 pounds of pure muscle with 4-5% bf (as long as I looked proportionate to my height), and I hate it when people who are SO OBVIOUSLY envious of those who have managed this, just trash talk for no reason.

Seriously, none of the massive dudes in my gym annoy anyone. They go there, work-out quietly, don't act like douchebags (unlike smaller more insecure guys) and don't come up to you to tell you how they would feel if they were 150 pound, >20%bf weaklings!

So shut up about other guys, and just do your own thing! If you need to put others down, then obviously you are jealous!
 
old dudes with no muscle tone who don't swim in speedos. What is up with that?

I'm not hating on speedos, just if you're gonna don lycra please use it for more reasons that exposing your legs to the world.

your post confused me... so I fixed it. :-) Sounded like you were complaining about old dudes who swim in something other than speedos. :tounge-in-cheek:


I saw this at my gym the other day... old guy looking at the seated curl machine, and decides to use it for a standing exercise that resembles an arced front raise. And then his wife goes to the leg curl machine, sits on it, and starts doing crunches. :wtf:

Oh shizz that reminds me of something that just happened over the weekend to me. Gather around kids, it's story time:

I go to the main gym on post here (Army Post) mainly because it's right around the corner from my house AND it's free. One of the perk of the Army - being fit is required so we get to have free gyms (even in combat zones). I'm not a big dude by any means, but everyone has to work on their bodies, right? So no shiz there I am on my 3rd set of bench-press (not gonna say how much weight :28:) and some 20 year old ass-bag come over and starts to take a plate off! I turn to him and say "dude I'm about to start my last set can you wait a minute?". He has the balls to to snicker and say "Oh really? 'Cause if I was your size I'd just give up." A rage filled inside me.

Side note: You see - there is a reason I have an absolutely vicious tongue and fists to back it up. Just think: Who gets picked on more growing up - the smallest kid in the class or the 6'9" 350lbs monstrosity that could be mistaken for an NFL Defensive Tackle? THAT's why you run across the scrappy little dude that has a Napoleon complex all the time. Now I'm 27 years old - since grown out of that phase a long time ago. Well the constant fighting part anyway....

I stood up and loudly proclaimed "Well sh*t, Bruno, I'm sorry I didn't shoot out of my mom's ass looking like a genetic mutation like you! There's a reason I'm here - and it's NOT to impress some young trouser stain who has retard strength due to his parents being siblings! Go fist your f*cking boyfriend!"

So he leaves. Sort of. I noticed when I was done that he was standing about 20' away watching me bench. At the foot end of the bench - probably staring at my nuts. Or wondering why I go so low and go really slow.

Fin.

Thanks for the reps...

The other great thing about that was that a few of my soldiers were in the vicinity. They said that when they overheard the moron say that to me, they stopped what they were doing to see how I'd react. :popcorn:

They know me all too well. They're still laughing about the look on the guy's face!
 
idk if i would call this guy a dousche but he is definitely a ***. i been noticing this since beginning of november. there's this 50ish lookin guy at my gym and every time im workin out arms or shoulders, he follows me to the next workout, goes in front of me and bends over so im basically starin at his ass throughout my workout. like im sick of closin my eyes when i lift and i just wanna tell this guy to get the **** out in front of me. same with my cousin if he's around and i ask for a spot, he always asks if this guy is followin me or somethin. idk if this guys in love with me or not

 
I just can't stand when people take forever between sets, and stand around a machine or area and just talk. I have people at my gym that just stand in a group of like 3 sometimes chill on equipment and do a set every 10 minutes. Literally i did 4 different exercises today for 3-4 sets each while two dudes sat on the same machine for the whole time maybe getting 3 sets.

Nothing pisses me of more then trying to workout with 45-60 seconds between sets and people take like 15 minutes. I dont mind if your just resting for a little but dont take 10-15 minutes when its a small gym.

check.

at my gym, there is this old dood who camps out on the bench,
all morning,
every day.
he benches - no joke - 2 hours a day.
every day.
well, he sits on the bench, raps with the other old doods, and lays back every once in a while to push out another 25 reps with 10kgs on either side, i suppose to keep the bar warm.
hard to hate the guy, as i don't use that bench anyways.
and, he's like 75, at which point in life i will likely be worm food.
at least he's moving.

but, what i really hate more than anything is
holes who just toss their wet towels on the floor in the locker room,
as if someone should follow them around picking up after their golden selves.

total holes...

that and holes who wait until they walk to their lockers to dry off from the shower,
leaving a long trail of wetness across the floor,
just to f-up your clean socks on the way out to put your shoes on.

holes.
 
I strongly dislike the guys who don't realize what the second curtain and little hooks are for in the shower. Open curtain one, grab the towel and underpants you hung there, apply both and then open curtain two. There's absolutely no reason to ambush me with your balls and hangdown when I'm washing my hands.

Also, underpants go on before socks.

Yes X3. Cover you junk!!!
 
Im not a huge guy or anything but im not a gym douche either. There is this older dude who is big in all the right ways but he likes to always want to use the power rack im on when there is a identical one right next to it. He does these quarter dead lifts with a **** ton of weight and then asks if he can use some of my plates......wtf, walk around the gym and find some you half DLing monster!
Then there are dudes who do nothing but chat, curl, machine press with a partner? ! I don't get it, I wish I had a spotter but not to stand around and bs with.

doin crunchers.
and talkin on the phone.
but, i guess he made it in...
 
wtf is wrong with people not researching how to lift in a ****ing gym.a few newbies in the gym had me like wtf really
 
I was doin some 10x10 bicep and tricep work a couple days ago. This dude comes up to the pressdown stack next to mine. He's wearing jeans, boots, and a beater. I'm doing half the stack cuz I'm goin 10x10. He walks up, looks at my stack, looks at me, back at the stack, and proceeds to drop his pin to the bottom of the stack. He then proceeds to push his elbows out to the side like some sort of retarded bird/dinosaur and move the stack about 5 inches in each direction for 8 reps, again looking at me as he finished.

Here I am elbows locked to my sides completing a full range of motion. Like come on buddy if today was heavy day I'd have no problem doing the whole stack the CORRECT way, don't act so tough.

By his third set I had to ask him "how's that shoulder workout goin?"

LOL@toughguys

I hate the New-Years Resolution-ers. I go to a small gym as it is (although this rule applies at EVERY gym I've ever been to), and every January to mid-February, the gym is PACKED with overweight, out-of-shape people that don't really want to workout. I can't wait until March when they all stop coming, so I can finally have my gym back!

Kai Greene was at your gym during his bulking phase...don't lie.
 
I try not to complain too much, usually because it makes me rage a little inside.
Today was something else though.

The gym is packed (right after work + new years res) and 3 kids take up a bench to do homework. I'm not kidding. They had pens, paper, book, back pack, etc. like it was a place to hang out at.
