Matchstick-legged guys that train their chest and bi's 4 days a week, they don't even do half-a$$ squats, too hard :toofunny:
I can't stand people who just sit on equipment and don't use it. Twice as much when I'm needing to use that particular bench.
I can't stand people who do biceps for an hour. Well I just did barbell curls, now I'll do preacher curls on this machine, followed by preacher curls on that machine. And after all that. More preacher curls.
I can't stand people who curl in the squat racks (see above). Hey jerkface, some of us actually use a squat rack for squats.
I can't stand people who slam weights. We got it, you think you're special, we all can now hear how much you're lifting. Slamming weight does NOT equal intensity, it equals stupidity.
I can't stand people who do cardio for any prolonged period of time. If you're on any bike, treadmill, etc. for more than an hour, you need to rethink your workout goals.
I can't stand people who talk on their phones the entire time they're 'lifting.' If you're so important that you must be on your phone at all times, you're WAY too cool to be lifting.
I can't stand bad form. The worst are the rockers. They rock when they're rowing, they rock when they're curling. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! :frustrate:
I think you should say something. I saw a guy deadlifting in a very dangerous fashion (rounding back on every rep). I politely told him that he was rounding his back and risked severe injury. He thanked me and that was that.EGO lifters. Haven't been going at night anymore but was talking to my buddy yesterday who was really going off on these losers, and really just dangerous lifters. Every Thursday night is leg day for these guys and this is their night to shine. It's really just 1-3 guys(1 guy in particular), and his fan club consisting of other guys and like 3-4 women. Well this dude will load up right around 495 on the squat rack(5 plates a side) and after several minutes contemplating he will taker down a quarter of the way screaming and grunting for all the gym to see. While this bugs me because he's obviously after attention, it really bows in comparison to what he actually has one of his female friends attempt to squat. Can't remember if it was 2 or 3 plates a side but I'm sure it was just 2. Regardless he will load it up on the bar for his female friend who has some meat on the bone and quite a bit of BF. I feel bad for her because she will stand under the bar easily for 2-3 minutes contemplating the walk out. After she finally decided to go for it she will belt out 2-3 really dangerous quarter squats before her friends have to help her load the weight back onto the rack. Would it really be stepping out of my bounds to say something to them or should I just let it go? Mainly concerning the safety of these girls.

how do you know he is? and if he's so small especially how do you know??What amuses me to no ends is this guy whos obviously on juice. He's probably my age, 18-19ish and this guy is without a doubt on juice.
To say something to an EGO lifter may be a waste of time. If this guy had any sense of logic he wouldn't be risking disc hernia just to impress someone. On the other hand, there are serious people around that train unaware of their bad form. Your advice may go to them. They are easily distinguished from the EGO lifters by the following: a) their appearance is not theatrical, b) they do not drag their fan club along, c) if they grunt and scream it is because they are in pain and not to attract attentionDudes that strap up on all exorcises regardless of weather or not they are pulling or pushing. This one dude in my gym in particular does this. I have seen him strap up on leg raises (for abs). You know where you rest your arms on the pads grip the handles and raise your legs. Also seen him strap up on the sitting bench press machine(forget the name for it) plate loaded, there's a reg and then an inline/decline. Dude isn't hurting himself by doing so but I just don't think he understands the purpose of strapping up.

As bad as it is, I could really care less about the guy trying to squat 495, it's really the fact that he loads the bar up for his female friend(when he should know better) and has her try to squat a decent amount of weight as well. I'd really hate to see her get hurt all because she doesn't know any better while her "experienced" friends tells her to go for it because it's ok. This guy I was taking to was so outraged by it he said he was going to report them so who knows.To say something to an EGO lifter may be a waste of time.

HAHAHA dude I could see it now..."Hey, hows it going *small talk* By the way you ever check out anabolic minds? I heard there was thread on there about people JUST LIKE YOU!"Maybe you should get her to read this thread
wtf is a clicker and why do you care if he signs in or not, if you dont work there? Id be pissed off at you if i was him, id probably take your "clicker" and smash it beneath my feet.I had a guy that tried to let me get him in the gym with out his clicker and I said 1 you did not sign in and 2 wheres your clicker and he questioned me asking me if I worked there and I said I work out there. He got all mad. So he started walking aroud the gym and 30 minutes later he left. Did not even work out. In his work out gym cloth too. I never seen the guy and as proper protocol you need a clicker and to sign in.
Oh I was talking about this really really insanely big guy. He's my age and about 210 lean, at 5'11 maybe. I dont mind big dudes. I just HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE people who flex every 3 seconds and act like he's gods gift to the world.how do you know he is? and if he's so small especially how do you know??
To me deadlifting isn't the same as slamming weights. Sure it makes all kind of noise but for that lift it is unavoidable. All others there is no excuse.2) re: I can't stand people who slam weights. We got it, you think you're special, we all can now hear how much you're lifting. Slamming weight does NOT equal intensity, it equals stupidity.
Mixed feelings here. I have been around the egotists. But I’ve also been told my “deadlifting is scaring away the customers.” Too, bad, it’s a gym, not a library. Besides if I have to listen do their crappy music, then they can listen to my deads.
Nothing gives me a pump quite like 'In the air tonight'. That drum solo alone yields a 10x power output increase. 20x while wearing the strap.Phil Collins ROCKS my routine. Not sure what you're talking about Silentbob!
Well. I'm from Norway, and the gyms here doesn't sound as bad you guys describe yours in the states=P
But yea, it's kinda funny when you got people that's been working out for 6 months and walk with their skinny arms out from their body as if they're carrying 3 sets of phone books between their arms and sides.
Got a lady in my gym that does that, worse even, she walks as if there was a medicine ball between her legs. She'll do a round or two like that then she'll pick up some, 1lb dumbells (those should be banned from the gyms!!!), do a few tricep kickbacks and then back to the walk again. Watch those dumbells lady, you wouldn't want your arms to look like Ronnie's or Jay's:stick:
my legs are alot like what you described post leg press/squat/quad/hammie extension. but that's only on some sd or some a-bombs. of course i weigh 220 tho... she prolly only weighs 120.Well. I'm from Norway, and the gyms here doesn't sound as bad you guys describe yours in the states=P

Re: Noise.To me deadlifting isn't the same as slamming weights. Sure it makes all kind of noise but for that lift it is unavoidable. All others there is no excuse.
I forgot about the gym music. Yeah, lets play everything that ISN'T conducive to lifting. Phil Collins.
Sometimes I luck out and my gym plays vids from the Led Zeppelin DVD from the 1970 Royal Albert Hall concert. They should seriously just put that DVD on loop. Open with 'We're gonna groove' and finish it off with 'Bring it on home,' good times.Re: Noise.
Yeah I know that’s what you meant, I just had to vent.
Re: Music.
Since I’m an old dude (add being called “pops” to the list) the new music grates even more. I like some, i.e. Match Box 20, but if I hear Kelly Clarkson one more time I may explode. There’s worse than she, she’s just one of the few I can recognize

I can’t say I feel sorry for them, in the end, their friends are their choice. Sadly, you do also teach people how to treat you, if you allow them to bully you, you will get bullied. If you allow them to talk you into doing dinosaur-squats when you can hardly manage say your own bodyweight, chances are that unless you stand up for yourself, you will get hurt. Sadly again, people only tend to learn after they get hurt :rant:.i feel sorry for women who have those gay boy friends.
Hehe, I can imagine...my legs are alot like what you described post leg press/squat/quad/hammie extension. but that's only on some superdrol or some a-bombs. of course i weigh 220 tho... she prolly only weighs 120.
On the other hand, I only weigh 110, but after:
lunges 126 lb
leg ext 100 lb
deads 140 lb
ham curls 55 lb (all I could manage 'cause I was in sooo much pain )
Day after: I don't want to wee, squating down to the toilet is too hard:rant:

Maybe you should swap :dl: for :clean:, that will teach them
i would say something. thats nasty.I can stand most of the stupid people but what pisses me off is the people who come into the gym dirty and stinking. I seriously have to alter my workouts sometimes because i dont want to touch the equipment they have been on. I understand sweating is normal however i think you should shower after your workout the previous day before you get to the gym the next day,
int he air tongith by who?Nothing gives me a pump quite like 'In the air tonight'. That drum solo alone yields a 10x power output increase. 20x while wearing the strap.
:hammer::toofunny::toofunny::toofunny:Phil Collins! Damn man, get your head on straight and don't go popping off about my boy Phil!
He'll get ya!
Nice picture Denim Dan. You look like the President, Chairman and CEO of Levi-Strauss!Phil Collins! Damn man, get your head on straight and don't go popping off about my boy Phil!
He'll get ya!
I saw so many mistakes on form in the gym, I had to write a book on how to do it. I am not sure which is my favorite, should have named them - for example:
THE LAWN MOWER STARTER - performs dumbbell rows with a fast jerking motion and drops back down.
THE GOODMORNING SQUATTER - when you watch them - oh it is a squat, no my bad it is a goodmorning, no wait - it is back to a squat oh that has gotta hurt
THE LEG BOUNCER - they do lower abs with leg raises, flying down to bounce off the bottom and fly back up - I am waiting for the summersault at the end - with a 3 point landing!!
Got any others?????
lol wow. on food stamps but can afford a gym membership?nothing was more annoying than when i was trying to scan my card into the gym but couldnt because the jackass in front of me wanted to argue that he could use his food stamps on muscle milk
thats just wrong.Got a guy that comes to my gym wearing the high school football coach nut-hugger shorts and a t-shirt cut off just below his ribs so he can show of his man muffin top.
but did he have a mullet???Got a guy that comes to my gym wearing the high school football coach nut-hugger shorts and a t-shirt cut off just below his ribs so he can show of his man muffin top.
