Douchebags at the gym...

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

I honestly don't think I could resist saying that. LOL at "
Ginger chicken legged know-it-all dude that claims to be a rugby coach."

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"

This can't be real omfgg!!! I nominate dude as biggest douchebag of the year
 
I'm conflicted now when I go to the gym, on one hand I'm scouting for the DB's on the other I'm super paranoid someone is going to be describing me when I get home and check this thread.
 
After reading this thread it's given me the idea to go to the gym trying to meet the criteria on purpose. Rock the headband, use straps with gloves on - never take them off, load up mass amounts of plates and just walk off, sunglasses on the entire time, ed hardy shirt over my long sleeve underarmour, shorts shorter than my underwear, and of course make mad grunts while curling some 15's *IN THE SQUAT RACK*.....video anyone?

Please. I would die of laughter.
 
Theres an Indian guy at my gym.. I don't EVER see him do not even one rep of anything yet he wears gloves..He constantly starts conversations wit people mid set. He hasn't come up to me yet but I catch him staring all the damn time
 
He's waiting to find a source for the sauce before he works out, that way he isn't wasting his time :D
 
I got to the gym. Deadlifts planned. There are two dudes using platform. One is showing to the other how to snatch. Well, at least how he believes how to snatch. Of course, my own technique in oly lifts is far from good, but at least I am trying to do basics right. What they did looked a bit suicidal to me. Anyway, I politely ask how many sets are they going to do as they have empty bar. They say "about three". So I go and take one of the bench press bars to do warm up and wait till they're done. It's bit awkward cause there is not much room left. But well, at least I can do something. I do one set, look around, and those two vanished. They gave up on snatching, which is a good thing I guess. But without saying a word that they're done. Douchebags.

OTOH, Similar situation. Dude was doing push presses. So I went to awkwardly warm up using smith's machine which was only thing left at the time. And after few minutes this dude comes to me and says "hey squat rack is free now if it could help you". Not everyone is a douche at my gym!
 
There are these two brothers at my gym who appear to have been created by the energy from this thread in order to provide more material. They do 1 of everything that irritates the hell out of me. First and foremost they are not strong or buff in the least but walk around like they are tough as crap.

They can’t do a workout that doesn’t involve getting in the way of everyone. For instance, they are obsessed with doing pushups using dumbbells on the ground; they of course do this parallel to the dumbbell rack or directly across the squat cage. When they aren’t doing these they do pushups with their feet up on the dumbbells I want to use, or bench dips, with their feet on the dumbbells I want to use.

They also do what I hate which is weird workouts to seem tough, however these guys can’t even bench with a full range, or even three quarter range of motion.

This is along with the classics which they also do to an exaggerated degree: heavy spotting on every rep, weak shadow boxing in between sets to make up for the less weight they’re using than the person next to them, and super exaggerated 30 minute shoulder warm ups with a 2.5 lb plate no matter what muscle they are working out that day.
 
Older guys in the changing room that don't put underwear first thing after shower and keep on chatting about their squash victories while their junk hangs out. And those that don't towel and flood the floor.

The dude that took like 30 minutes to shower when the changing rooms where closed for refurbishment and this was the only shower.

50yo Chinese badminton squad shouting to each other when they shower. I mean they stand like a meter from each other and they make loud noises like the Librarian from Pratchett's Disc World. Come on.

Guys that don't put dumbbells back on rack. If you can't rack it back just don't take it. Once I found one 30lb db hidden on the preachers curl bench.

People that leave paper towels, empty cans and bottles on the floor.

People that walk in the gym in the winter and don't change shoes.

One I can't decide about who's douchebag. The small dude deloading bar of the chest supported rowing machine and just piling plates on a big heap or the fellow who put more than 200lb there and didn't deload it.

Few dudes trying to do cleans. One of them was a fat kid, like 5'5" with a black eye. There was something about him that made me think to hit him in the other eye too ;-)

Some girl sport team doing circuits taking lots of free weights.Squeaking and giggling during that. You can't get mad at those boobs though ;-)

Dude asks me if I deadlift and if he can join. "Sure. How heavy are you going to go?" I asked. He said "Don't worry. I'd be doing different thing". And well, he kind of did. I would call the exercise: Getting a spine injury while pretending to deadlift with unnecessary mixed grip.
But I took one of the trainers advice and kept my mouth shut: "I work here like 3 years already and I stopped correcting their technique because they just shrug and keep on doing their thing."

Yeah, what's up with the people that have to be next to dumbbell rack standing in a way for anybody that wants to grab db.
I am sure they don't rack db back too!

On the subject of spotting. Dudes that are doing sitted shoulder presses with spotter helping them through top half of the lift. On every rep. And then they do the Top Gun style b*tt slaps to congratulate on the outstanding effort. FFS.

The post could have been summed up nicely with that one short line. :D

Hey wait... That but excluding ME! ;-)
 
I think there was much more b*tt slapping in the shower scenes, but I haven't seen this movie for ages either. The voleyball scene pretty much sums it up anyway.

It cracked me up at a house party yesterday. Bit off topic. Me, my fitness trainer female friend and one dude had the following conversation as guy was asking us about "supplements":
Me: So, have you ever used any steroids?
(Nonetheless, you would not say he did judging by his shape)
DB: Yeah
Me: Which?
DB: Testosterone, stanazol, dbol and two about I have hell no idea what that was.
Me: Oh, reaaally? What did you do for PCT?
DB: PCT?
Me: Dude... Bet your balls shrunk :-P
DB: Eh... But after half year they were fine!
(Girl's ROFLing already)
Me: Bet you lost your gains
DB: But that was because of shoulder injury!
Girl: Riiiight. Any kidney problems when you took those?
(That killed me:)
DB: No, I don't think so, but you know what I think I had some ALLERGIC reaction to them cause I got this WEIRD ACNE on my back!
 
LOL
 
The guy that breathes with his lips closed on every rep of every set. Open your mouth. More air gets in. And he's doin light w8 and has been liftin for years. Come on.
 
2 smaller guys coming over to me, convo went like this:

Him: mumbling
Me: I can't hear you...
Him (yelling): How many sets you have left?
Me (raised voice): I'm going to be here for a minute look at all these other cables?...
Him: looked & walked away...


I use to be that guy that asked how many sets people have left never again, never again.
 
After watching a bit I've realized the gym is actually teaching the fatties to do various useless exercises in the squat racks.

Still can't figure out how they are charging these clueless new people upwards of 40 bucks an hour for some doughy fat out of shape trainers to show them how to exercise.

One can only laugh as a fool is easily parted with their money ha.

Easy way to get winded. In mma there is a reason you are trained to breath through your nose

Same as boxing . you have a mouth guard in and if you open you mouth and get cracked you may end up sipping blended pizza thru a straw (-;
 
Yep of course. I personally have trouble breathing through my nose. Had it broken when I was young and I have allergys 24/7 but I am a runner also and know what you mean. I kickbox a little more for a workout than to be serious. I haven't been able to lately though. You guys reminded me :(

He wanted to test out if his penis was big or not. So at full sprint with his boner, he ran smack into the wall. Whether or not his penis hit the wall first, doesn't matter, he still ended up breaking his nose....you be the judge

I was gonna be nicer and say he was eating out a bony girl's pus-c and she came hard and broke his nose with her pelvis :D
 
It can happen with not that bony girl too...

Uh oh sounds like another fun story ! Either way I'd rather have a situation like that then getting sucker punched by a skinhead from behind again or my face stuck in a closing fire door after I tripped. Broken noses suck but after it happens you're less concerned or upset when/if it happens again.

I'll say this. A lot of trainers I have seen are half way decent but these guys are normal people as long as they look decent or in shape I think it's ok. You have to remember at places like 24 hour fitness and the like they are catering to people that want to lose weight or get into shape not some1 looking to pack on as much muscle as possible.

There's 1 dude though at my gym he's a trainer looks like he has no muscle and a huge stomach, I was him I wouldn't even accept a job like that because I would not feel I was doing what I needed to do to be successful....

It's fun to lean back and watch your own junk move in and out of them like it's gonna pop out their abdomen. Or place you hand on their lower abdomen while hitn it doggy, give yourself alil hand while your at it. Good times
 
Man I can't stand the cross fitters at the gym. I mean I respect what they do but there are places to your workouts, like maybe not taking the squat rack for literally 3 hours. My dad does cross fit and they have their own warehouse specifically designed for it.

True. In my gym there are two guys and three girls as trainers. I was talking with one of them about watcher's plague (there was like 5 people yesterday and each time I finished a set of snatches I caught this f*g staring, wtf) and she said "yeah, and you know it's worst for me I'm a trainer here so they expect me to be perfect in everything..."

She had a bit more mass let's say it, and when she got into it and started thrashing like crazy all of sudden, I had to fight for my face not to get slammed hard.
 
Lol so today was my first day back in the gym and I was planning on doing chest. We have no benches, only two power racks. Both were empty as I got on the elipitical for alil warmup. I'm thinking it's gonna be good to go in a few minutes. WRONG! Lol.. I head over to the racks after my warmup to find one dude sitting on a bench on his phone ordering calzones and going on about the menu and the other rack has a bf/gf tag team of rack curlers goin on. So I'm standing there for a minute thinking how funny yet fukd this is and the guy using the preacher curl asks me " hey bro are you waiting for this?". I replied " no but thank you, I'm waiting for the phone booth or the curling station to become available!" said it real loud so both parties could hear and we both laughed in agreement. Funny thing is as soon as I got one of the racks, the dude that asked me using the preacher curl ran up real fast as I was laying back for my first set and said "hey man how many more sets you got left?!" Funny guy, I had to sit up and laugh
