Douchebags at the gym...

How does a "personal trainer" not know about liquid chalk, Romanian deads, good mornings, parallel/ above parallel, rack pulls, or box squats?!? Wth do they learn at school?!? When a "personal trainer" needs to ask me this crap, they need stop spewing the bs that they learned and do some actual WORKOUTS.

Well, i dont think them not knowing about liquid chalk is an issue. The others, yeah, I'm unable to defend that.

I was a trainer for almost 8 years, which included a few years being the S & C coach for some high school and college teams. Those are just some basics. Any trainer worth their salt know basic stuff like that. If I was their head trainer, which I've been in the past, I would be quizzing and testing them all the time on their knowledge. If you're not a knowledgeable trainer you ain't shyt.

Today at the gym I'm going to conciously attempt to be the gym douchebag. Any ideas what I can do?

Stare everyone down, curl in squat rack for an hour, don't rack your weights, grunt loud on each rep no matter the weight, make your presence know by asking people to work in to their sets, but do totally opposite exercises when you work in to make it more complicating. At the end of the workout look in the mirror, know you found the inner douche.
 
Haha I didn't go that extreme but damn it feels good to throw dumbbells around like a boss. Got some looks as expected lol I also left weights on the floor lol. Oh and gave all the fit chicks long sexual gazes but thats normal. Fun day.
 
I'm training at a new gym today and it's leg day. This sh*t always gives me anxiety. Please don't let anyone be at the Power rack or squat rack!!!

Luckily I've never had that problem. :)

I think there's 8 squat and 5 power racks total.

Edit:

And possibly one of the worlds largest dumbbell racks.

Yah, I WAS curling 10 lb dumbells . . . with my c*ck


Sorry if I intimidated you . . . but next time, try not to intentionally be the douchebag at the gym. :spank:

Damn! What gym is this?!?

Just saw that. INSANE!

There's about 50,000 sq ft with different areas/rooms about the same size as the free weight room in the pics. A good portion of the middle of that room is lined with flat and incline benches.

It's a privately owned gym a few minutes outside of Boston that's pretty much "douche free" as well. There's a good mix of younger people, older people, athletes, amateur competitors, and pros, most of which take their training pretty seriously.

That's insane! I should have checked it out when I was in Boston.

You definitely get what you pay for at that gym!
 
If Ronnie Coleman can front squat 600 pounds without grunting then I don't see why anyone else is doing it. It's completely unnecessary
 
My gym has 3 power racks for squats and 3 bench press, 2 incline and one decline. So pathetic for what is considered to be one of the busiest gyms in south Florida

If you ever come back, let me know and you can have a free week pass.
 
My gym bought all these mom and pop gyms and they're all whole in the walls. This one that I tried today was pretty empty but there's no room to do anything. Here's all the room I had for deads....

Maybe I'm the douche...

There's signs all over the gym that reminds you to wipe your machine after you're done. The chick who works here used the leg press machine and after she was done, she moved over to the power rack. I grabbed the spray bottle as she was looking and sprayed and wiped down the leg press machine....

I hope she feels embarrassed.
 
^ omg that is so gross, I really don't like going to a bench or a seat and its covered with sweat. I carry a hand sanitiser bottle with me too :)

Every time I find fresh sweat of a woman on a bench, I put my scent on it:

Nope, she's the douche. Not you.
 
Haha, all I can do is laugh...

I met a guy and he seemed interested in me until he realized I could dead and squat heavier than him by 100lbs. Lol, I think he was actually somewhat disgusted because he said that a 1RM doesn't measure anything and doesn't mean you're strong. Oh and that lifting heavy won't do me any good.... :side eyes:

I meet the best people! :D
 
A lot of you guys have a ton of negativity right now.

How is that not enough room? I train out of a 190 sq. ft. shed and I've got enough room to train so I'm sure you could've done just fine.

Sure did. I did 4 sets and some Romanian deads. I'm sure you can't tell by the picture but if I moved further back, I would have hit the weight rack and if I was up closer, I would have dropped the weights on the power rack.
 
Then I guess its a good thing you weren't doing traveling dead lifts.

Here's a novel idea! If no one is using the rack for squats you could always deadlift in the rack!

I've never dead in the rack and I usually squat outside of the rack, too. I don't know, being in a closed space kinda freaks me out!
 
I always DL away from a rack. I will move away from the front of them just to prove a point that deads and rows don't have to be done at the rack.

If I ever BB curled I'd do that from the floor too...
 
So today there was this f*cktard punk who was using 30 lbs dumbells - across the gym from where the dumbell rack is - at one of the smith machines - I guess he was supersetting with upright rows using the smith machine. What makes the punk a f*cktard is that when I walked up to the machine directly next to his, I had to put away a set of dumbells some other p*ssy couldn't find the strength to re-rack - and he HEARD ME say something about it. So what does he do when he's done with his sets? . . . . . HE LEAVES THE F*CKING DUMBELLS AT THE SMITH MACHINE.

What did I do? . . . . .

I picked up the dumbells . . . saw where the prick was working out next ... and dropped the dumbells at his feet and said "you left your dumbells back at the smith machine - here ya go." The puss TRIED to stare me down - but he did the smart thing and picked up the dumbells and re-racked them.



I'm sorry .... but assclowns like that REALLY get under my skin.
 
^ have you ever seen said f-tard at the gym before? If not, did you calmly explain your issue to him, or did you go directly into "pissed off guy" mode? Ignorant people in the gym piss me off too, but if you just storm up to them like a tough guy, your point is lost.
Now... If you have told him previously not to leave his shît around, and he still did it... Ok, that's a different story.
Sorry, but you also sounded kinda like a d-bag here... Just trying to clarify

He actually did do just that . . . later on . . . and just walked away.

The guy KNEW he should re-rack his dumbells, and he intentionally left them there. So I brought them to him.
If you think ME a d-bag for that, then right back at'cha pal. I have no patience for intentionally ignorant people.

Funny how you ignored the fact that I stated my post as a question to you, and then informed you that it had the possibility of making you sound like a douche... But no, you go straight defensive and instantly pissy sounding. Enjoy being an Internet tough guy... Must be awesome
