Douchebags at the gym...

I wouldn't really consider that douchebag status bro. It's not like your some skinny prick who thinks he's jacked and tries to lift it. You just didn't have a spot. Next time do db's if ur alone lol

Hey man, Arnold was the one that said don't be scared of failing ... U went all out ... Most people know they wouldn't make it so they won't even try and do lighter weights or not at all ... I would have laughed tho, but still props

Thanx for the reinforcement guys.. I switc it up. One week I'll do flat with a bar and incline with DBs and the other way around the next week.. Drop sets do work much better with dumbells though lol and I ws laughin at myself when I knew the bar wasn't gonna go any higher

I was the douche today who needed saving. Fml..I was testing out working out while fasted so loaded up I my preworkout and I felt good at first. I went up to 295 on bench and then started doing reverse pyramid because i dont have a partner to do drop sets and when I got down to 205 the bar got stuck on my chest. I felt like such an ******* but the dude who help me complemented me. Said I've gotten huge in the last couple months. So tht made me feel better about myself

I hate that feeling when you see the bar just stop going up. I've had to be saved a couple of times when my spotter backed out.

Yep. I only change my workouts if I am doing heavy sets (3 reps) and I have no spot. I just bump my reps back slightly. Add a set. An either exhaust pre work or burnout after
 
I finally have some additions to my favorite ongoing thread ever in the history of the ultranet. I'll save the best for last.

1. I was using the bench and had just finished my second set when some dude who must want to use the bench comes up and just stands there about two feet in front of the bench just looking forward. I wasn't sure if he wanted to use the bench because he put his towel on a machine that was 2 more feet in front of him. He didn't say one word but just akwardly stood there in front of me until I was done. Then because I was irritated I watched his workout in order to hate on him and luckily he put a 10 on each side of the bar and worked out with that. I've since seen him and he will not workout with more than 15 LB dumbells, now I mean he is a weakling, but no man is that weak.
　
2. I wasn't there for this one but had it reported back to me. Some girl at my work keeps hounding me for fitness tips, "how do I lose here, tone this, etc" I give her bits and pieces and one day she asked me how many times she should lift a given weight. To keep it simple I just told her aim for 4 sets of 8-10 and then increase the weight when you can hit 10 on all sets. The next day she said a "trainer" came up to her and asked her why she was doing only 8 reps, he then told her that that's only if she wants to "bulk up" and that she better stick to doing 20 reps or she'll get huge. I told her to tell him I said he was a retard.
　
3. I saved the best for last, I went into the shower at the gym and tried using the stall nearest to the pegs where you hand your stuff and found that the knob was broeken. "No big deal", I thought because there was another stall right next to that one that was open. I walk up to it and what do I find? A soaked pair of underwear in the corner, which is bad enough, but it gets worse/weirder. On top of and around the underwear, is a quartered lemon that has obviously been squeezed. It threw me for such a loop that it took me a few beats where I was just confused as to what someone would use a lemon for in the shower, before getting pissed off that whatever some A-hole is doing with a lemon and his underwear in the shower he should clean it up when he's done!
 
Rofl!! what ever he was doing, sounds pretty fruity if you ask me..

New objective: bring odd items to the gym and leave them laying in the shower

Leave a horse shoe with an open jar of Vaseline and a bottle of mustard add drips of fake blood around the crime scene and just wait nearby out of site. You can't pay for that kinda entertainment ;-)

Some ppl just have no idea what they r doing at the gym
 
Have had this guy in my gym he comes in almost every time I'm there always always always wears the same outfit (black wife beater and black shorts) for almost a year now this dude has stayed the exact same size/weight like no difference at all and every single time I see him he gets the ez bar and puts it on the bench with a 45 on each side and benches and always asks ppl for a spot and does like 20 reps and he will do like 20 sets then go home and it's everytime he is there he never does anything different lol

Tuesday - Chest and Biceps
Wednesday - Chest and Biceps
Thursday - Chest and Biceps
Friday - Chest and Biceps
Saturday - Off to drink
Sunday - off to recover

Hahahaha
 
Three guys standing at the shoulder press rack talking for an hour now. Really ?
 
So I saw some dude today... in the Squat rack with two bars with a plate on each side. Would do 10-12 horrible form reps of squats (knees all over the place, up on the balls of his feet, back rounding), then immediately do 10-12 reps of horrible SLDLS (extreme back rounding, and wasn't very "stiff" legged). Upon finishing this, he'd flex in the mirror for a few minutes, get a drink of water, flex some more, and then repeat. He must have done 8 supersets like this while I was there...

Hey hes trying.
My thing is if a person is putting effort and trying it's better than a smuck acting like a big shot, doing things wrong trying to tell others what to do, using to much weight and making fun of some 1 else.
 
I hate the big douche bags that stare at you when your form breaks down and don't give you any advice on how to correct yourself...or
The big douche bags that stare at your perfect form and come correct you on your last couple reps about how your form is completely off.

he isn't trying if his form is sh*t man... not just breaking it on the last rep, every single flippin rep

**** lol
 
Shoulda done that on st. patty's day... just sayin
 
Oh no.... ^

Lol. I had a guy once tell me that my back curved too much at lockout on my deads. Which is possibly true. However he said this based on a video of me doing 525. Not watching me in the gym or do sets. I keep very strict form except some exercises where the lack of form is the point aka in a circuit training type situation where your trying to burn cals not hypertrophy bad form to a degree will burn more cals because your using more muscle. Anyways.

Super setting deads and squats like that sounds kinda goofy. Why not just do a good seat of true dead lifts then follow with squats. Or something. He probably fried his lower back and thought he got a "good workout" hahaha
 
Today's moron brought to you by proper squat and SLDL form....

Same dude, two incidents.

1) I was doing squats, and right after my first heavy set, dude comes over and goes:
"bro, you can't go that deep on your squats, you are going to hurt your knees and back, it is horrible form man!" to which I reply "actually, it is proper form for a squat to bring your thighs to 90 degress or less with your knees, especially If you want to get your whole posterior chain in and/or compete in a powerlifting match" to which he said "what do you mean by posterior chain? are those the things i see on youtube when they have chains on the bar? and who wants to do powerlifting, I can squat more weight than you because I don't go as far down!" i then said "excuse me, I have another set to do" and put my headphones back on....

2) a little while later while doing SLDLs, dude comes over again...
"bro! you aren't doing those right, you need to bend your back more so the weight touches the ground each time" i reply "really? it is a hamstring exercise, not a lower back exercise" he says "yeah, but you are still doing it all wrong if you aren't touching the weights on the ground every time" I go "ok, howabout you train your way, and I'll train mine? thanks for the advice, but I know what I'm doing for the goals I'm trying to reach." dude goes"ok bro, but its your loss, I'm the most ripped guy in this place, I'm here 2-3 times a day sometimes, that's how hardcore I am, you'll never be like me" to which i thought "thank god, if i was that stupid i'd probably have accidentally killed myself by now"

Had a d bag today while trying to do my tricep press downs pretty much move me over and start doing pull ups. Although it was not bicep day, I started using both cables by doing curls just to piss him off. When he asked me how many sets I have left i said I'll let you know.
 
It would appear after reading the posts that, someone does something douchey and we answer back being a douche. Is it true that going to the gym is for douche bags? *DUN DUN DUNNNNN*

It's only a douche bag move if your doing it unprovoked. Or if your Ronny Coleman you can do anything. Haha

And man beast. While we both know there are a ton of different ways to do every exercise, this guy didn't know how to do any of them. Idiot. I never give advise on form unless I genuinely believe someone may hurt themselves.
 
Holy Sh#t I would have wanted to kill this guy. I hate getting unwanted advice from guys that are obviously idiots. Or anyone for that matter. Anytime anyone tries to do this I either completely ignore them or just blantently tell them to F#ck off.

I see guys doing stupid **** in the gym all the time but I will never correct them because it's not my place. If you are too stupid to watch the people that actually know what they are doing and learn from them then Im not going to take my time to correct you. Its called natural selection.

LoL, I try not to get mad, as I work out at the "Y" and that would not be "in the spirit and message the YMCA tries to promote" :D
 
Here's one. Come to the gym today, there are about 10 people taking up the two flat bench area we have overhead shoulder pressing. Go do that somewhere else...

Then there are some other mother ****ers super setting tricep cable pull downs with skull crushers, but they are doing the skull crushers on the rowing machine.

There's insecure people at every gym you go to and it's just a fact a life. In their insecurity they are self centered and have no regard for people around them, it's a self-coping mechanism that justifies their actions. My advice is just give them the friendly nod and move on.

Something like that hahaha.




Okay so skull crushing with a row machine? Ok...

The bench shirts are alright but then you have the guys who use them every chest day and honestly have 10 other things to work on and don't need or deserve a shirt.

Mma Wana bes are the best. I would legitimately like to take some Mma bjj Muy thai. Anything I can. But for the cardio and health aspect just as much as self defense. And not run around playing tough guy. Just know it so it's even more easy to whoop ass.
 
When the ****ing only douchebag attending the gym closes an hour early cause he wants to get out of there. I just threw a ****ing **** fit, just raging on this guy. I had about 3 guys behind me agreeing but were not saying ****. I AM ****ING PISSED RIGHT NOW, I think you guys would all feel the same way

There's this guy in my gym with a dumb 40-yr old virgin face who stares at me all the time!! WTF!!
 
mikeg313 said:
No this guy was being strange. No chest, arms like noodles weight belt on the whole timewould. He would head to the bathroom in between every set for like 5 minutes. I kept thinking yes he left but then he would bust outa the bathroom on a mission again, do a set, then back to the head. Lol I find it entertaining as long as they don't get in my way.

Sounds like a coke head at the gym. You should sneak up behind him...... "!!HEY!!, what you doin?" see how high he jumps.
 
I'd be pissed too and write a (professional sounding) letter to the manager about the employee closing early and bring it in and hand-deliver it, just resist the temptation to say "you've got mail" when you do it bro :D

Im in sandiego so there are mma training centers everywhere but why at 24 hour fitness between sets are you low kicking the machines or shadowing knees to the head,??? Really? Change out ur tapout shirt for one that just says "look at me"
 
I use local uni's gym. There is just to much clueless students and just too much douchebaggery happening. So, few examples from top of my head:

I am at the squat rack. Going away to get some more plates and this big older dude, in need to cut, hangs his jumper on my barbell. I am like WTF. "DUDE! I am using it!". He shrugs and puts his jumper on a bench nearby and walks away.

Dude putting every possible plate on the bar proceeds to deadlift it, fails to move it even an inch, and walks out of the gym.

Asian MMA-wannabe and his training partner occupying squat rack doing lunges with like 40lb on the bar and shadow boxing between sets.

Pakistani dude wannabe trainer "coaching" his 3 friends to deadlift. The worst arched backs I've ever seen. One of them was scrawny and had hunched back when standing, watching him arching back even more made my own spine hurt.

Couple snogging in the corner on Valentine's day.

Dude sitting on a bench, doing shoulder press, lifting belt on, grunting at each rep like he was r***ed by an elephant or something.

Different dude, some exercise, earphones in, shouting to himself "ONE MORE!"

Trainers telling chicks to use a db that weigh less than their handbag.

Chick that brings a newspaper, like a big A3 format. Reads it while doing every exercise... ab crunches, leg presses, etc.

Dudes that stare at you when you lift. Watch damn TV screen will you please?

Scrawny French looking gay dude wearing red spandex shorts on his chicken legs. And pink socks.

Ginger chicken legged know-it-all dude that claims to be a rugby coach.

Unsolicited spotters. We have a mirror behind a squat rack. This two dudes wanted to use the rack after me. So, they stood around while I was doing widowmaker squats. I unracked the bar and started to squat and one of them stood behind me looking more like ana1 rap1st then spotter. I could see his disbelief when after 10 reps I proceeded with next 10 without racking back the bar. I left the rack and I could see them doing those quarter-deep squats. FFS.

One of the benches is next to lifting platform. I am doing cleans and this dude comes over to spot the guy on the bench. Stands behind the bench, on the lifting platform, with my bar between his legs. I kindly informed him what is going to happen with his balls when I lift the bar.
