Do you curl so much that you can't pick it up off the ground?

putting weight on the bar on the ground and picking it up/putting it down is a pain in the ass. not to mention, the squat rack is literally made to do things other than squats on. whats MORE inconsiderate are people that do pullups on it when theres an open pullup bar available elsewhere, OR, even more so, people that do like 5 sets of squats, 5 sets of front squats, and 5 sets of deadlifts back-to-back-to-back for 30 minutes when theres only 1 squat rack. just yesterday i watched a guy do squats, then cleans, then deadlifts, then pullups. he was using it for the length of my entire workout.

Man and woman law:
No crocs, ever.
Gym rule:
Do not use the gyms blow dryer to dry your sack, taint, or hole.
Saw the blow drying incident yesterday and couldn't believe it. It's one think a whole bunch of guys like standing around naked shaving, talking, combing their hair, but to blow dry your nuts is unacceptable. At least with a publicly used blow dryer

If he's getting ready to shave his balls, the underwear will inhibit progress!

I already made this a law, except I said no crocs, ever. I don't think women or children should wear them either. I think all crocs should be thrown in a pile and burned.

Don't exaggerate how much you lift. Your dick doeant grow 5 inches because you "can squat 315 ATG".
Most embarrassing thing ever to hear chicken legs talking about a 405 max, then you get in the gym and he struggles with quarter squats at 185.
In the bonds..

This! !!!!!!....... I hate how crossfit has blown up. But knowing crossfit is a general term somebody is bound to say "crossfit for football is great" which I would happily agree. But kids jumping into a program where you perform the hardest most technical movements in weightlifting ( snatch and Clean & Jerk) and then tell them to do pushups "KIPPING" pullups and jog for 400 meters? They have to do rounds of that? Or they have have to perform a snatch or clean for reps and time. Have you ever seen a snatch done to exhaustion? I guarantee that it ended badly. I understand circuit training to a certain degree but being " Jack of all trades, Master of none " applies here. I apologize for ranting but I wish no harm on someone in the weight room who is trying to build muscle and stay lean. I personally crossfit should not be performed. At least the crossfit I've seen. Perhaps plyo pushups and pullups plus lunges constitute your definition of "crossfit" but not mine.

There are some essentials missing from these lists which, based on my experience at my gym, need to be written. Somewhere.
- Do not **** in the shower. There are toilets in the next room, they're made for that ****. Literally.
- If your balls hang lower than your knee joints, you are REQUIRED to wear a towel in the locker room.
- If you're gay, just come out of the closet and deal with that **** now. No one cares anymore. Do not ogle strangers in the locker room.
- It's called a LOCKer room for a reason, use a ****ing lock. Don't expect the guy nearest to you to watch your **** only to be the primary suspect when you come back and find some of your **** is missing, which you later realize you left in the unused side pocket of your gym bag.
- When your gym clothes begin to smell like a French cheese, it's time to wash them. It's illegal to leave them in the locker room for everyone else to smell.
- If you dress to be noticed, don't be pissed when people notice. If you're a woman and your 'workout gear' consists of a skin tight top with has less fabric than exposed skin and has red sequinned arrows pointing to your exposed nipples, people will look. Likewise if you're a man wearing spandex and it looks like you have a live ferret stuffed down your pants, people will look. If you don't want them to look, don't dress this way.
- No one wants your advice. If you don't work at the ****ing gym, don't wander around observing other people and offering unsolicited advice. Doing this makes you a dick head.
- Wear clothing. Like, fabric that covers your body to some extent. At least the naughty parts.
- Don't camp out on the equipment. Use it or get the **** out of the way.
- Lifting heavy objects occassionally requires vocalizations in the form of grunts. This does not mean you have license to scream on every rep like someone has your balls in a vice and a knife in your back. Doing this makes you a dick head.

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for all the incompetent trainers that start them up. In premise it's a great idea but the execution is flawed big time in a lot of them.

I grabbed the trashcan for the first time at my gym but didn't puke. Just felt like it. Wasn't even moving crazy weight...I think I just took too much stimulants and was over-working myself like crazy.
Now I look back and wonder if someone thought I was 'that guy.'
FU*K....I think I may be a douche bag.

This may be specific to my city but I often see groups of 4 to 6 young Asian guys like 17 to 22 age. They use awful form, take weights they have no business using, ect. Often led by one semi fit guy but the rest are 140 lbers. I've seen this phenomena about 5 different times. Anyone else?

No worries.
You used Asian and this phenomena in that post. I was just trying to say, oh...not so eloquently, that some guys cause this phenomena.
etc...I love using the bold markup!

It's hard to find a good workout bud. I'd like a spotter but mostly I workout solo with head phones too. The spotter I do get ends up running around like he's in a damn jungle gym.

I don't like long rests between sets of anything, I don't like someone screaming "u can do it" on my last few reps, especially on days when I'm working to fail... So u can see how a bud would get in the way of my workout... My music is my bud... My music doesn't hog equipment either... Just being honest
In saying that, I'm a Personal Trainer, I love training people, I just don't like to be trained...

I like the no curling in squat rack. Some 16 year old was curling his 15's in the rack and the other two were being used properly for squats and the gym floor was wide open. I started doing dbell squats with 50's and got some attention from the others that realized the kid was being a **** head could've just moved his ignorant ass.
