Had a weird one the other day, not exactly douche behavior but just puzzling. A guy was bench pressing, but on one of the regular benches over by the dumbbells, not on the actual bench press. It worked out for me because I got the last available bench that day but its puzzling why he was doing this.

Got yet another douch at my gym.. There usually aren't many douchebags by squat racks and presses and dead lifting platform.. I had 155 on the bar in a rack dude comes over makes me take out my headphones to ask why I was doin such little weight.. I was like "don't come over here to critize me dummy I'm doin good mornings" his response "what are those" jus shook my head and put my headphones back in

i do sets of 135 all the time.
ATG with many different rep variations, tempo and statics. set of 20 slow and controlled will make a guy look like a bitch at the end of a leg workset. lol
not 1/4 squats like said douchebag does.

I saw the worst example of douche-ery at the gym today. I first noticed a pair of dudes wearing outrageous affliction shirts on the decline. They were doing partial reps, and I mean barely lowering the bar below the pegs, and spotting eachother heavily on each rep. Then in between sets, the one with the even afflictiony-er shirt was doing these 9/10 range of motion dips on the pegs where you put plates on the bench. This repeated itself on incline, then bench, and reached a creshendo when they walked over the wall to do handstand pushups against said wall. Once again they did them with a range of motion of about 3 inches. After every set, they would stand up and puff out their chest with this who wants some look.
What bothered me most about this pair was not their horrible workout, everyone does that but that they were cheating like hell and not even using heavy weight! The most they lifted was 245 on decline, if you are not really lifting the weight and its all ego, at least put a huge amount on their to justify it!
I hate having hyper-vigilance because I notice this stuff and then have to keep watching it to see how bad it gets.

On my grind
I cant stand dbags at the gym!
The wife and I were at the gym yesterday getting our fitness on and there was a guy who was walking around in a beater. Hes notorious for staring, not just at my wife but at me too.
Well yesterday we are on the incline bench machine and i put 225 on the bar and proceed to stretch prior to the set. Well im jist randomly looking around doin my thing and he catches my eye because he is, yet again, staring. Well once i look in that direction he mean mugs the **** out of me. Just gave me the dirtiest look.
Like wtf?

I get mean mugged constantly at my gym cause a bunch of dudes who been working out at my gym from a little while back know i used to do Muay Thai cause there were some fight posters up back in the day. So the ones who know i did it, give me the size up constantly. I laugh all the time cause of it, these douche bags in their wife beaters who can't even do full range of motion lifting, think they have some testicles. But it is what it is, pop in my head phones and ignore the looks.

I love seeing the old guy on the elliptical . . . wearing button-down shirt, sweater vest, dockers, and loafers. But this is better than the guy with his '80s bodybuilding outfit: striped spandex shorts with sweatshirt with the neck cut real wide so it hangs off his shoulder . . . .GHEY

This skanky lookin girl was doing the elyptical with a half gallon of cranberry juice jug, wearing clothes that say "Hey come do me, I'm easy" she looked about 19, and wasn't even hot. Straight dirty and trashy! Hate lifting at a gym where the members fee is 15 amonth so anybody can join!

I work out alone and, early in the morning - so there's often no one in the gym but me.
Other day I walk over to the squat rack - and some doofus has left two 100 LBS plates on the bar - one on each end. Not the standard 45 pound plates mind you - these are the 100 pound plates meant for the leg press ...
So, I got my Ipod in my ear, curse the guy who left the plate ...
AND PULL THE HUNDRED POUND PLATE OFF ONE END.
Then I look away - and "faintly" - through the roar of KISS "I LOVE IT LOUD" screaming in my headphone - I hear something that sounds like a serious crash ...
And it was ... yeah - you can pull a 45 pound plate off a bar - and leave one on the other side and it won't cause the bar to tilt and fall - but you cannot do that with 100 pound plates.
That ****ing bar was catapulted across the room!
And the thing is ... since you can't UNLOAD 100 pound plates one at a time - you can't LOAD them that way either - which means it took two gym douchebags to load those plates on that bar - and then they left it there after their set.
Azholes.

So has anyone ever had somebody in the gym that grunts or yells every single rep including warm-ups and cardio? We have this guy who does this at our gym every single workout and it's really annoying cause u can hear him all throughout the gym..I mean even calf raises... Just wondering if I was the only lucky one... Lol

I think the biggest douche at the gym I use to go to was an old guy, he would put 10 plates on each side of the leg press and then put like 10 on top and try to press it. He wouldn't even go down an inch but he'd be the first one to run over to somebody and tell them they were doing it wrong. He pissed me off... And so I thought we were done with this old guy but I walked into the free weight room and he was in there with a 100 pound dumbbell trying to curl it, once again he couldn't even lift it. It dosnt help he where's big a$$ boots either. I hate this guy

Hahaha I think this whole things hilarious. I mean usually I think of old people as smarter or wise or something but this guy is just a failure. **** he's better than the gay guy that walks around with bumble bee colored rights on and who's always walking around in the locker room to catch some ass. I mean I hope it's not just my gym.......... These ****ers are weird

I use to go to a Ballys in Troy Michigan that I found out was the gay cruising spot of gyms at night. I knew some of the employees an trainers and they would tell me stories about having to literally kick guys out of the showers as they were closing. It was somewhat disturbing people watching at times so I'd blast my iPod and maintain a 1000 mile stare as much as possible . One night after work I got there late and the staff was playing "it's raining men" on the PA and tryin to keep straight faces at the front desk. I bout died laughing and sarcastically thanked them for encouraging the rediculousness. Thankfully I changed at work and didn't have to visit the locker room but I couldn't help cracking up laughing randomly my entire workout.

Yeah it was annoying at times but I tried to get there early evening mostly to avoid it when regular gym goers were there. 3 years and I never went late till I got a job that ran late sometimes and I was forced to go late night at times. By that time my membership was paid up so the investment was already made. It was like you showed up to the wrong party lol. I just didn't let it bother me

The guy I'm speaking of was kinda frumpy to be honest upper body and had his knees wrapped over his sweat pants. He had as many plates as he could fit in all four positions on the sled and he was rocking it out. It was a very strange sight and I ended up chatting with him cus I was curious. He said he never works upper body and just like doing that. It was his thing that made him happy I guess so I gave him props even though I found it odd and chuckled when I saw him catch others attention doing that from there on. I actually respect the fact he was doing what he wanted though eccentric it was giving him what he wanted and he was loving it.

As long as your getting something positive out of it for yourself and it makes your day better i enjoy seeing that in the gym more then I do the "tough guys" that sit on equipment texting , leaving weights behind, acting like they own the place and have no gym educate or common curtousy.
