Douchebags at the gym...

Slow, sure. But you can guide them down without just letting go. Even on my maxes, recently 520, I eased it down.

Oh dropping at the top lol. Naw I would never do that. Crazy and definitely annoying as hell to everyone around. Just an FYI I never drop weights. Even on seated overhead dumbbell presses and incline flat and decline presses it's very easy to let the weights down without slamming them. I've never understood people who do that. Or the guys who wear that ****ing ridiculous oxygen mask thing to the gym like I saw today

Those masks work. Mine helped me increase my deads 50 lbs in one session... ��
 
Dont hate lol The package said it could accomplish magical wonders equal to aas. Even stated it could fix my horrendous gyno. My moobs are now all gone lololol
 
Here is my rant for the day. So, there were two females today. Both were working out in their sports bra. Three things about this get me.

First, the not serious thing - it is distracting when they are attractive. The semi serious thing - if I took my shirt off and trained without it, I would get asked to put my shirt on and if I did not comply, get kicked out. Lastly, the most serious offense - these women did not wipe down anything they used. Their sweaty skin was pressed against the pads of machines and they just left it like that. Disgusting.

But if you got their sweat on you in a certain other way
:hump: you'd be just fine with it.
 
so my gym only has one power rack to do squats or deads or bench. so this dude hogged the rack for half an hour for deads and then squats. when he started deloading for squats I ask him how much he got left. he said "one set, I'll be done very quick." so I sit down and wait. the wait ends up being half an hour as the guy ends up benching for half an hour by taking five minute rests to do five sets of five. and he only had a plate on. what a douche.

Your problem is your gym.
 
what made it douchey was the fact that he told me that he told me to wait. I would have done some other exercise if he was truthful and told me he still had half an hour to go

If he was deadlifting when you got there, you should have asked him if he was going to use the rack. I have three power cages at my gym. People feel the need to deadlift right outside of it. If I need one and see someone doing that, I will ask if I can use the inside of it. They do not need it obviously. I have to admit though, I do it to, at least until I work up to 2 plates for deadlifts. It is just easier to put two plates on while it is racked knee level. Bu after two plates, I move out of the way..

I purposely deadlift away from the rack too, hoping it'll set an example, but no. They look irritated when you ask to work inside the rack. A-holes.

I always thought those masks were worn by chronic dik suckers. I thought they were for my protection because those people can't control the need to constantly ravage dik, especially at the gym with so many men around.... It's like a muzzle for a dog.. Except for BJ giving addicts

I have to deadlift in a rack now. I got yelled at by the owner for doing it away from it. -___-

Did he give you a reason?
 
This annoyed me today you can tell me if I'm wrong. We have 2 cable machines set up with a pull up bar right in between and I was doing pull ups. This girl wanted to do that thing where you attach that strap to your heel and kick backwards which inevitably would mean she kicks me in the face. I told her that the cable rotates so that you can literally lift the weight in any given direction so that people can use the pull up bar and boy did this chick give me an attitude lol

I know what you mean, and you weren't a douche for suggesting that. All the time I have to do things in different directions to allow for other people to do what they do. Her spoiled a** can get over it.
 
My friend told me that it's not a smart idea to wear my crocs to the gym. I gave him the side eyes like... Don't tell me what to wear to the gym when you don't even train legs!!!
 
Over heard at the gym today: "nah man, arms and chest is all you really need to work on. That's all the hoes care about". Face palm

So who overheard you telling your buddy that?

I made sure the whole gym heard me. Right after that I went into a double bicep pose and yelled out "Sun's out, guns out!", then looked around to make sure everyone was looking.

I actually do the posing part... Except it's after a douche does his then I make sure to pose-punk his a$$ out like Popeye on some spinach.
 
So just curious if this makes me the douche today or not. Probably does but:
Guy doing v handle "pull downs", the kind where he generates a ton of moment swings the weight, gets 8 crappy half reps, and slams the weight stack down with only 160 on there. I'm squatting, in the middle of a leg day, but I walk over and ask if I can work in. He says sure, so I added 2 more plates on the stack (200), knock 10 very controlled, full range of motion reps, with no swinging of course, and I make sure to set the weight down gently. I even sprayed and wiped down the seat and knee pads when I was done. So am I the douche for trying to prove a point to this jackhole?

I like your style :thumbsup:
 
The douchebags at my gym? Ho hum...

Management converted this old school local gym to a 24hr gym last year, which is awesome. Except you had to buy a tag...then they reduced the opening hours...then made it compulsory to have a tag. To top that off the staff have gotten so lazy that they don't clean, check or put away the equipment. We all know that every gym has douchebags that leave plates on bars, the floor etc & that's bad enough, but now the staff don't even bother to tidy up!! The manager is the laziest, I have to ride her tired a** just to get things fixed.
No maintenance list or schedule, someone's going to get hurt & sue those clowns one day. Sad part is that i've told them this & it goes straight over their ignorant heads. I'll be pissed if it happens & the gym is forced to close.

The plus side: it's pretty chilled, no makeup clad girls facebooking for 90 mins or string singlet pin monsters doing 1/4 range reps. Hmmm...I try to practice non-judgemnetalism, maybe I oughta be my own nominee for douchebag of the day for that line...:tapedshut:

How do they reduce th e hours on a 24hr gym?

Click to expand...

Sorry...they reduced the manned hours, for those people who come during normal operating hours. Then cut manning to zilch on Sundays, pretty much forcing people to pay for an e-tag on top of their membership fees.
Double dipped - the owners cut staff hours to save $$ then make the members pay for the right to access the gym at times they would normally have been able to just walk in.
 
Douchebag: the clown who thought it a good idea to precariously balance a 10kg plate on the top row of the squat rack, where you'd normally stick 1.125's or 2.5's.
Of course, I reached for the 5kg plate underneath & not paying attention knocked the 10kg off & onto the point of my shoulder - my already dodgy shoulder.
Is it so hard to put it back where you got it from?! :zx11pissed:
