name 2 things that drive you insane at your gym.

1. Not having a designated area for Olympic Lifting. I know the masses dont do it, but **** the masses...

2. People walking so ****ing slow, and walking infront me ( i mean like inches ) while im about to power snatch or clean...

What I do like:

Is seeing like minded people, especially women, who feel and do the same stuff I do...
 
big health clubs definately have the most retards. some of these guys are so freaking annoying. they wear the dumbest looking outfits to train in. i dont get it. do they not have a clue on how to dress or act? and the ones who walk around with their lats holding their arms out are really gay.

Brohiem Pain is weakness leaving the body....
 
1. Going into the gym and seeing 90% of guys working upper bodies!

2. Guys who put a lot of weight and dont do full movements!
 
1) People who put like 320 on the bench and can't do it as their friend helps them pull it up for one rep. Then they go back with the same amount of weight and fail at an attempt of another 1 rep.

2) People who tell you to push and breathe and **** like that while your trying to push out a last rep breaking your concentration and ****.

3) People who are bigger then you but clearly know jack **** about proper lifting and try to critique you.

4) People who go to the gym and do the same thing with the same amount of weight over and over and wonder why they don't gain any muscle. You have to lift big to get big.
 
I work out at a university gym and both of my complaints are related to the panzy ass-faculty that make the rules on campus.

1) These lazy fat bitches who come in to spend 45 mintues streching during lunch and then giggle whisper and laugh about my level of intensity. (I have veins that bulge out of my head, CAN'T HELP IT YO!)

2) The sign that reads, "Please avoid grunting or making other loud noises while lifting." Look, I dont go around grunting on every ****ing rep but when I see someone who has to give every bit of himself into a rep and he lets out a little scream at the end, I GET PUMPED!
 
1. People that are afraid to speak. C'mon it's not that hard. (things like how many sets do you have left, do you want to work in while I superset, ect.) Things can go alot faster for everyone if they work together. I know people like to use "I'm zoned in" as an excuse, but people in war have to communicate too and they're getting SHOT AT!! You think your little workout is as stressfull as that?! Be a man, not a punk.

2. People that hog stuff up. (kind of related but different that #1)

As far as other people's clothing, form, ect., I could give a crap less.
 
I was at the gym doing some squats the other day when I happened to glance over to the free weights. I saw 3 high school kids with their hair all gelled up swinging their arms back and forth like they were having seizures (some form of stretching/warming up?) and staring at themselves in the mirror. Then, almost as if on cue, they all grabbed excessively heavy dumbbells and started doing curls with the most horrendous form I have ever seen, moving at about 1000 miles per hour. It kind of made me laugh and pissed me off at the same time.
 
Saw a guy today doing shrugs with 88lbs wearing gloves AND straps. Seriously.

Also, twats that leave their db's and weight discs all over the place - lazy b4stards the lot of them.

And finally, little girly instructors that insist on telling someone their form isn't correct or safe when they in turn couldn't deadlift my pre-breakfast dump.

Oh and another, massively fat people doing just weights - these people shouldn't be allowed to look at weights for fear of coronary failure, never mind using them - for god's sake Mr Stay Puft do some light cardio and get yourself checked out by a doctor before you kill yourself and probably the poor sucker that has to carry you out of here - and if you fall in that squat rack i'll be using you as my box for box-squats!

And relax.........
 
I workout in a college gym and since it's the beginning of a new year all the retarded crap is happening:

1) Curling in the squat rack. I didn't even notice that no one had been doing it until the start of the semester when all the little freshmen came in and their curling 55 / 65 lbs and they need the rack to hold the bar while they take 3-4 minute rests in between sets. RAGE@@!@!@!@!@

2) The regular sized freshman showing the skinny freshman how to workout but doing it so half ass I have to step in so the kid doesn't throw his back out. I've been noticing some guys showing the ropes to their smaller friends but goddamn they can't explain ****!! I watched this poor kid try to do a deadlift for the first time and his friends barely helped him out at all. I had to step in and explain to him not to round his back and having the bar 8 inches away from you is a bad idea. They were cool about it and I was just trying to help the kid out but I'd hate to see how they teach that kid how to squat or bench or the type of program they follow.
 
O.k. this thread refuses to die:cussing:

I'll start over because I'm pissed:angryfire:

Why do some dumb asses feel the need to own the dumbell rack? They lean on it, put their chit on it, and do their gayy curls while hogging like 6 weights! It is an obstacle course to walk around the morons to put 100 lb bells back!

The intensity at my busy 24hr gym is completely lacking any balls whatsoever:kiss: I feel like a freak show doing DC Training techniques while constantly getting asked if I need help while stretching.

HAHAHAHA!@! I'm the only one that incorporates DC stretching techniques at my gym. No one knows wth I'm doing.
 
stinky ass **** suckers, and guys walking around with their nipples hanging out even tho there is only guys working out around. wow

That I understand, these guys are not going to failure, in fact, they sometimes throw them forward, so they have the arm strength to set them down reasonably.
Click to expand...

I understand dropping them because you do them to failure like I do, but yes they shouldn't be throwing them, unless they are doing like 120's they can do what they want haha. I have gotten bitched at by this old hag at the old club I use to go to because I would drop the db's like 6 inches from the floor, and once when she was there I even set the db on the flat side and it tipped over and she tried yelling at me for dropping them again which in-sewed in me getting in an argument and calling her and old dumb ass hag.
 
I need some help on this one folks. In gym there is this guy who always mad dogs everyone , he just looks @ them and says nothing - he never un-racks the bar and always do the same dam routine..

1. Should I just kick his @$$ for looking dumb
2. Should I just ask what you are looking at?
3. Should just crack him with a 25 plate
I thinking 3 --- please note he walk over to my friends personal space and look @ him and said nothing and start using the smith machine without even asking if he was done he was so shock he just walk off the next day I had to hold my friend from killing this dude!!! This guy keeps mad dogging
 
I try to b focus when I'm lifting weigth so not many things anoy me but what I hate is a bad spotter that just get me so mad. Last time while on the bench he wouldn't let go even after I told him to

crack him with a real plate, a 45.
 
Old guys that have severe halitosis and blow their breath up my nose while I spot them on the bench press after they ask me to. I almost dropped the bar on one guys face the other day after I inhaled and went slightly unconcious. Ewwwwww chew some gum or something.
 
well they have been mentioned, but they still piss me the **** off....

1)When people dont have a towel. Because one, why the **** do I want to go use that bench when its all full of your sweat. At least wipe it of, ass. And two, if you walk away and are not on a machine for 5 minutes, I can only assume your not coming back. For the love of **** put a towel or something on it instead of telling me half way through my **** your using it. Like-wise. Dont put your towel on something and walk away for 10 minutes doing other workouts.

2)When people ask how many sets you have left, and just ****ing stand there right next to you. Or ask you while your in a rep. I was on a leg press one time and some lady came by and asked when I was going to be done WHILE I WAS PRESSING!!!! And she got frustrated I didnt even pay any mind ot her. So when I was done I took all my weights off, and she had the nerve to tell me to put a 45 back on. Bitch do it yourself! Or ask next time.

Extra: At my gym we have 3 lanes on the track. The inside is for the walkers, middle is joggers, outside it runners. Each day's direction of running are on several signs throughout the gym.
a)When someone is walking in the jog/run lane.
b)When someone suddenly stops in the running lane. One time I was running and some girl decided to hop from the jogging lane to the running lane, directly in front of me, to say hi to her friend and give her a hug.
c)When a walker needs to pass someone up and switches into a faster lane, while still walking, without looking if someone is about to ram them down.
d)The idiot who swings out from behind a wall without even looking if anyone is running down the track.
e)The jackass who's GOING THE WRONG WAY and refuses to change directions.
f)The idiot on their cell who swings their arms like a wild retarded orangutan.
 
so today i was in a rush to get my workout in b4 watching some football. and i use my home bench to bench press. and then take a 10 minute drive to the gym.

I get there and some guys had two ten pound plates on one bench... and then this guy who always thinks hes sweet cuz he does weird ass workouts and is kinda big is just laughing and has his arm around another bench. so no big deal cant incline press, ill do my floor bench. NO SOME DBAG IS CURLING IN THE POWER RACK WITH LESS THEN A 25 ON THE SIDE AND USING STRAPS. im not kidding. so i just eventually do my incline press, then do decline press till a squat rack finally opens up then i do my floor bench... the guy was still there this time curling 10s on each side with his straps. he prolly thought i was dumb doing floor bench. to rub it in his face i put 35s on each side did a couple curls and flexed in the mirror. thats a dbag move but he deserved it.
 
sometimes i work out at my universities gym, just to make people feel inferior..lol

but the other day i was doing low cable rows, and, he had to be a freshman came and asked if he could work in. now the kid weighed probably as much as one of my legs, so i said "can u keep up with the weight". and the kid said probably not...so i said don't bother then.
 
Is that thing plate loaded? Changing a pin takes like, 2 seconds. Add another 2 seconds for the 5# things you put on top of the stack sometimes.

I have to agree with brownstone, what you did just makes bodybuilders in general look like *******s. If anyones polite and asks me to work in, i have no problems sharing a machine. I guess it's whatever makes you feel better i guess. The ego is a fragile thing!

LOL well that was kinda rude. What exactly did he do to piss you off? At least make him take off the weights and put them back on for you when your up.

Not at all man. Actually, a public gym is full of disease. Kind of ironic considering everyone there is/should trying to be healthy. Think about everyone who touches those dumbbells and barbells and then think about how many guys you see in the bathroom that don't wash their hands.
Click to expand...
I caught pink eye from a gym before. Must have been from a dumbell or something I touched there and then rubbed my eye. So wash your hands b4 leaving...that crap was the worst. The first antibiotic eye drops that I got didnt do anything...then I blasted it with an antibiotic ointment and an oral pill...even that took a bit longer than usual. Wasnt fun.
 
The other day these two guys were shrugging like 10 plates on the shrug machine and i swear to god these guys were putting on a show. First of all they weren't even looking like regular gym goers. Before each set they would pace back and fowarth grunting and trying to psych eachother up, than they would grab the weight, scream, yell and barely extend their legs the 2 inches it takes to go from resting to standing, and with no form at all he throws up 2 shrugs. HAHAHAHAH omg. everyone in the gym was staring at them, half with envy, half with embarassment for the idiots putting on the show. Finally the gym manager walks up to these guys and very loudly goes "what the hell do you think your doing? First of all, this is too much weight someones gonna get hurt. Second of all your a huge distraction to everyone. Lower the weight and keep the noise down."
 
1) people who talk and lean on machines or say "yeah im using those dumbells" then continue to talk.

Im not apart of the talking crowd or making friends at the gym, a simple head nod to the guys who workout at the same time as me. I have my ipod on playlist and im ready to go.

2) the little tiny twats who have 3-4 sets of dbs in consecutive order, complete bull**** by their bench or seat.

3) all the homo's who stare at me...period. you eye fcuk me, im not gonna like it.

4)Im using 1 machine and free weights..for example. tricep cable, and db's for bicep... My **** is right in front of the cable, obviously a gallon of water, and a gym bag doesn't signify someone is working out there, maybe he went to take a piss, get some water, grab a different handle, or simply super setting.

5) or the stupid ass kids who stumble or move in small circles cause they cant still and bump into me while im doing sets.

Since im on cycle right now, im more than aggressive in the gym. I tell the kids to sit still, move, get out of the way etc.

Or the ones who leave the sauna door open and talk and I have to take out my headphones and say " you coming in or out, cause there's no more ****in hot steam" then they leave quickly.

I think its mostly kids, and the ppl who aren't as serious as most of us on here. Or the old guy who does 50 sets on the same cable machine...

mid life crisis scottsdale douchebags(affliction shirts + salt and pepper hair? COME ON) and fat ppl staring me down then doing heavy weight with form that makes deisel weasel cringe.
 
When I use to go to the gym I'd say the thing that made me most insane was those men that use to drop the weights from waist height making a big thudding noise. The worst is when it's a machine weight because the metal just slams against the weights not being used, f'in annoying!

The Gym manager is a F*cking F*ggot. And what kind of gym doesnt let you make noise? Where do you workout, Curves? I'd laugh in the managers face and keep screaming.

1. Freshmen
2. the kid weighed probably as much as one of my legs
3. can u keep up with the weight". and the kid said probably not...so I said don't bother then

4. You are an A$$ hole ( do you need a hug?)

I know cats like you all talk look @ me I am bigger then you BS... I call it the little boy Syndrome grow the Fuc up and help people instead of making then feel like crap that is what is wrong the world today to may A$$ hole
 
I don't even know where to start with the 24 hour fitness I work out at. One, I am all for diversity and don't mind it but when thugs are working out in sunglasses and wearing gold chains, gtf out of my gym (Seriously, if you watch the Chapelle show, I swear Tron was in there yesterday)! Don't even start me on the basketball court in our gym; I grew up in Chicago and the courts downtown were more tame than these.

Three top things that make me want to hit 90% of the asshats who work out there:
1. The gym is ALWAYS busy, you better believe I am going to work in with you, especially if it is a machine that the weight can be changed on in all of 5 seconds.
2. Re-rack you damn dumbells!!! There must be a rack over 100 feet long of dbs, and it is nearly impossible to find what you need and those about 75 pounds are never in the right place.
3. Groups of douche bag guys who have NO CLUE what they are doing and hog the squat rack for 15 minutes when all they are doing is hurting their backs and staring at women that aren't even that attractive. Next time someone does this and I am jacked up from the Prime and DTHC I am on, they might get thrown through the wall.
Bonus item - The manager that runs the joint defines what it is to be a sleeze ball dude. Literally if you are talking to him about the equipment that is always broken because they have no preventative maintenance program and a girl (not necessarily even that hot) walks by, he will stop talking and walk over to ask if she needs help. Last time he did this, just to see if he was even paying attention, I told him to go **** himself loud enough that he could hear, didn't even so much as flinch.

This is what you get when the area you live in starts to go to s*** due to the lovely influx of hurricane Katrina victims, not the good ones mind you, they all went back, we got the best of the best left behind RIGHT where I live! Ok, if I offended anyone sorry but come live where I do and deal with it for a month, you will feel my pain.
 
1. People that use 3 different pieces of equipment and act like they're working out hard when you ask them when they'll be done.

2. Fat- asses that use the seated lat pulldown for an hour and never move

impossible lol but anyways i should have elaborated on the situation a bit more...the rack was a plate stack and i had all of the plastic 5lbs weights and other weights rigged to it to make it heavier cuz it only goes up to 200lbs.

today was chest day. Walking in i saw NOT curls in the squat rack but..... curls in the smith machine... i just laughed walking into the locker room. Really people keep getting dumber.

i do the same thing man i have note document saved with my DL,SQUAT,BENCH percentages saved on there and i sometimse scroll back to see #s used for smaller lifts so i can try to beat em... I do send texts in between big lifts that u tak 3-5 mins rest inbetween like heavy deads etc..
 
Skinny guys who think they're big and do too heavy weights don't annoy me.
What really annoys me is all the people at my gym that workout like complete pussies, it just ruins my vibe. They put on like the lightest weight they can find on the machines, and then do 10 reps and stop, and you know they haven't anywhere near reached failure!
On the other hand, I love to see other people working out hard, thats what I want around me.

I also hate the ****ing music at my gym, people put on the talk radio on, or horrible commercial radio full of adverts, and the worst kind of commercial crap, played with a tinny sound. That really gets me!
