Douchebags at the gym...

Haven't seen this thread in a while lol

I joined a new gym about 3 months ago. It's owned by a IFBB pro and has no heat or AC. It's the kind of place a douche bag can not survive lol

I'm personally a huge fan of Superbro at my gym. See, the guy thinks he's Superman, but he has the lifting integrity (and strength) of a frat boy who has stints at the gym - you know the type, they go for a month or two, then quit for a while before trying again. His last workout was just great-

-Loads up 4 plates a side on iso lateral high row, proceeds to do these 2 inch jerks with the machine for about 8 reps before getting tired;
-Picks up 55 dumbbells, starts bending his arm 10-20 degrees attempting to do hammer curls with the weight;
-Pins up most if not the whole stack (about 700lbs) on that 90 degree leg press, proceeds to do what might appear as calf presses but to an observant person reveal themselves to be leg presses.

This is the only bit of his workout I caught between my sets. I had some great laughs that day in the gym. And no, he is not getting results out of this workout.

Hahaha, yeah I gotta say that can be pretty rough in the summer.

Also, did you shrink an inch??
 
Well yeah douchebags are afraid of sweat lol. How they gonna hit the bar after the gym if they're all sweaty? And God knows douchebags don't use the gym showers. "Those are for homos! Only people that shower in there want to see each other naked." Lol.

I stick with my gym at work or the one close to my place. 90% of the people at my work stick to aerobic machines, and those type of people usually leave me alone unless I accidentally set the bar down too hard during deadlifts, then I get a couple looks.

I like the guys at the gym that do curls and tris three times a week, bench 6 plates but only move the bar 3 inches per rep, then stare you down while you're doing 190 on bench after pre exhausting your tri's.

Surprisingly, work gyms are probably the best places to go to avoid people like this. It's odd how that seems to be the case, because in most instances it's the last place I want to be after being there all day.

Hahahahah. I know just the type. :toofunny:

He also has to grunt like Sharapova while doing lat pulldowns with 100 lbs and always lets all the weights slam down on his final rep just to make *sure* everyone in the building knows just how much of a **** he is.

Similar to that, I've seen a fella who put ALL of the weight on the lat pull down machine and made alot of racket. But the bad part was that his form more closely resembled an angled rowboat style paddle movement, lol. His upper body was rocking back and forth maybe two total feet on that machine, lol. Form was terrible. Defnitely a face palm moment.

love it!

keep it coming guys, this thread has made this monday worthwhile.

lol
 
In general, guys that aren't training for an honorable or useful purpose are really just there for vainity which can trace back to attention from others. This in turn means that those Superbro's, newbies, etc. are spending equal amounts of time comparing themselves to others. But, since they are in the business of finding security in their appearance, they only compare themselves to people that are in lesser shape and they only compare their strong points to others weak points. It usually only takes about a month or two of this kind of mindset before that guy literally walks around like his balls are the size of Texas. Furthermore, thats when you start seeing stupid workouts, terrible form, and way too much weight for that particular person. They basically get to a point to where they are trying to protect their arrogance and ego with attention-grabbing routines - thus the super heavy weights, terrible form and weird behavior.

Which, btw here are my motivations for training -

1) My fiance's personal enjoyment (eventually to be my wife)

2) I want to become a pro-bb'er one day

3) I'm sort-of addicted to routine anaerobic exercise
 
good points sir!

i work out for the following reasons-

1. anger management
2. to get bigger legs
3. health


the squat and dead is a very ugly lift, only making my ugly even worse.... lol
 
I saw a guy working out with 1 of every workout accessory. He had those feet shoes, a super fancy weight belt, wrist wraps, underarmour, gloves, and the underarmour skullcap to top it all off. The workout this gear was needed for? Quarter squats on the smith machine.

This would make for a great inside-joke-type costume
 
This is a great thread. I was training chest Saturday (always my last workout of the week) and encountered an older-than-me gentleman (40-ish I would guess, maybe a tad younger) who was also doing chest. We chatted a bit and I made a comment on how my thighs were destroyed from the box squats I did 8 sets of the night before. He laughed and said, and I quote; " yeah, I don't train legs, it's to much effort. I just do arms and chest every other day." I didn't want to laugh in his face so I just nodded and went along with my workout. I now know why he never goes above 155lbs for 3-5 reps on bench.

Too much effort? Geez I only do two leg exercises lol. Nice name btw. I wish I thought of having a name more viking like.
 
Uhm Aren't We All??

Vance said:
Every gym has at least one.

At my gym he is one of these; that (Fat, lonely looking) dude who you made the mistake of acknowledging once as you walked past him (Another common mistake is trying to help someone with their form before they end up in a wheel-chair who ends up being one of these) who now just has to come up and give it the "WAZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!?!?!?!?!" when you're on the last 2 reps of a power set. :frustrate

Or wants to come over and dribble **** about how his (Probably imaginary or inflatable) girlfriend is giving him the ****s while you're in the zone because you nodded at him once so obviously you care. Regardless of how many hints you drop the only way to get rid of this guy is to be as blunt as possible. :bryce:

So one of those episodes got me to wondering what the douchebags at your gym do to annoy/amuse you guys..?

Could be good for a laugh.

Uhm isn't it true if you are at the gym more than 3 times a week, that offically makes you a doucher or meathead no matter how "cool" you may think you are? LOL Just thought that was the case in most gyms...

Yeah everyone at the gym except me is a douchebag. I'm the only cool one. The people who use lots of weight are all showoffs and the people using perfect form are obviously doing it for attention, and anyone except me that uses a shaker cup is trying to brag that they take supplements! Lol :)
 
I turned the corner as I made my way into the men's locker room.... And what do I see?..... An old man standing there butt naked blow drying his junk w the built in dryer for your hands. It took everything inside of me not to burst out laughing. That **** is hilarious!

I had read a previous post about this.... Never thought people actually did this hahaha.

Ultimate laziness hahaha

This is an epidemic at my gym, how dry does a crotch need to be. I had a guy drying his hair on the higher one and junk on the lower one simultaneously. All he needed was a spinning plate in each arm to make it complete.

I've also noticed a direct correlation between doing partial reps and wearing denim to the gym.

Now that's a first. Since he was old, did he just stretch his balls close to the dryer or just stand really really close to the wall? LOL

Hahahahahahahaha both of his hands were to his side so I m gonna assume its was no on the stretching of the balls, although after seeing that.... I wouldn't be suprized if he somehow stretched them close to drier hahaha
 
I guess I'm lucky. The dbags all mind their own business and most of the serious lifters are chill. But there is one kid now who sings really loud rap while he lifts and does some type of imaginary agility moves in the middle of the floor lol. And apparently there is a guy who shoot fire balls at the mirror but I have yet to sight him...

Ok, everybody listen up! Flex is not A douchebag, he is THE douchebag. The Alpha DB. The King of DB's. This is why he can get away with doing all the same stuff the other DB's do! LOL!!!
 
Besides the old man drying his balls w the hands dryer....
I love looking at the group of 15 years olds walking around in packs of 4 or 5 and doing nothin but shooting the **** around the weights. If u are gonna come to the gym and sit around and talk about Pokemon cards.... Go do it in your parents basement!!!

I can't stand this guy in my gym who is the most average looking guy possible; skinny legs, bit of a tummy, no triceps to speak of, bitch-tities, and only slightly-existent biceps, yet he walks around with his back all hunched forward in an effort to convince everyone (himself included), that he has lats and traps...

Seriously, what's up with people wearing muscle shirts when they don't have any muscle? Or skin-tight thermal tops when they have a big gut and man-boobs?

How can people be so utterly devoid of any dress sense? To me wearing a skin-tight vest to the gym when you 're fat and flabby is as stupid as wearing size 12 shoes when you're a size 10... Just don't do it! It's stupid and it makes no sense!

Do you go to my gym? Lmao there's a guy JUST like that where I'm at Hahahaha
 
Another guy I can't stand is this pudgy a-hole who has feet shoes, knee raps, and the rest but all he does are things like curls with 25lb dumbbells but on one foot. Or he'll workout on the incline bench with 95 lbs on the bar but he has a reverse grip and on e again one foot stuck out. Doing bad workouts isn't what bothers me but it's this condescending look he gives everyone after his sets because of how much more functional his lifts are. Never seen him squat or deadlift btw.
 
Bad form really annoys me because it's so easily avoidable; JUST USE LESS WEIGHT!

How can someone who looks like he spends most of his waking day sat on a couch with a pizza and a beer really believe that swinging his arms back and forth like a pendulum to do bicep curls at 20-22kg really is stronger than guys twice his size who do PROPER reps at 16-18kg????

How can be people be so stupid?! You're in a gym at peak time with another 100 people, ALL OF WHOM are in much better shape than you and yet you don't bother to look at their form and copy it, decreasing your weights accordingly, instead you desperately try to look strong by jeopardising your muscles and tendons for the sake of not feeling like you're a pathetic weakling and trying to invalidate everyone else's hard work and devotion by trying to exclaim with your misguided jealousy-based work-outs that "See, I'm stronger than all you guys and I hardly spend any time in here!"...

HEY!!!! You don't say that!

Sorry. I've been catching up on the other 39 threads I'm subbed to still...can't believe I missed this.
Actually the truth is I was busy watching myself in the mirror while I curled naked chicks doing les stuff while I drank a tub of protein.
 
i like this thread. Human beings are fun to watch.

im in pretty decent shape and i just cant get my self to wear a wife beater anywhere, and i have to laugh some of the guys who wear them.

arrogance and confidence i guess, or just being "unaware" lol

I know what you mean. I will wear a vest when training my back so I can see if I'm getting pumped (for aesthetic, psychological and training reasons) and a sleeveless top when training my biceps and triceps (again for the same reasons). But when I do my chest and legs (on separate days) I always go in with a simple t-shirt.

Yet some people in there look they spend about £200 on their gym wardrobe and probably more time shopping and picking out what to wear than on their work-outs and diets...

I have a total of 5 tops that I wear to the gym. 1 for each of the 4 times I go each week plus 1 more in case I haven't done laundry, and together I doubt I spent more than £20 on them.
 
Went to the gym yesterday to work out and this guy was singing at the top of his lungs sporadically while wearing headphones. Every 15 to 30 seconds, he would blurt out something like Girl, Girl, Girl, Dance .. On The Dance Floor. Guess that's better than the prior day when he was walking around singing about "crackers". The singing just makes me want to smack him.
