List some of the things men do in the gym that they THINK is cool--but ISN'T

[bodybuilder1234]

I sometimes drop plates, does it really bother some of you guys? 

[wes mantooth]

wearing bodybuilding "jewelry"...typically a dumbbell on a gold chain.....or a little guy doing a front double bicep

otomix shoes.....

Having gloves and a belt on before you even get into the gym

using wraps for EVERY exercise

t-back tank tops...

[Devon97]

Shadow Boxing

Dancing to rap music


Practicing their golf swing

* Picking their workout exercises based on where a girl that they are trying to pick up on is in the gym (like she doesn't know what you are doing)

* Grunting when are lifting very impressive weight

*Wearing those clown pants from the 90s

*Pretending to be so cool they don't notice you when are walking by

*Stopping and talking to everyone but thinking they are hardcore

* Wearning clothes that are way too tight

*Coming up to you and giving you unsolicted advice

Posters here on get big can ripped on people like there is no tomorrow.

What can you add?

Good list!

I hate those hardcore guys that never say "Hello" or "goodbye" and always try to look very tough. They are very insecure and a little bit whiny inside normally.... 

We have this rather fat guy, he is short as well and he always tells everyone that he is in the military and volunteers for Afghanistan (but something always comes in between... go figure). He always wears very tight t-shirts with army prints like camouflage, weapons, symbols and so on. He has some really bad tattoos as well.

This dude uses way too much weight, throws it around, grunts like a pig and normally just lets the machines snap back on the last rep. I.e. latpulldown, he just lets it go on the last rep.

Fucking idiot.

Spitting on the floor

Spitting on the floor

 

WHat?

I think would throw the person out in the moment i saw that happening. 

That's just disgusting.

It's annoying as fuck, especially when it's a middle-aged juicer who has no intentions of competing, has a red bald head and throws dumbells when he's finished. I would say something, but he's always with his mates and I like to keep to myself in the gym.

[Earl1972]

dropping dumbells on the floor ( there is a sign that says not to do this but most still do it )

being too cool (or insecure) to make eye contact so they use the mirrors to stare at people

Just because you follow the best built men around a gym doesn't mean that women do it all the time.

[candidizzle]

  when i train alone, i prefer to be by myself !!

[Bruffy]

1) Men that sit around on machines/benches talking and not working out
    taking up valuable space/air/machines/benches.
2) Men that tuck their workout shirt in and hike their workout pants up to their
    armpits.
3) Men that wear the infamous tight black bar shirt to the gym to workout in.
4) Men that don't know how to spot properly.
5) Men that don't put their dumbells/plates away.

I can never understand why some dudes think it is cool to stink of b.o.
It takes 2 seconds to spray yourself, but day in, day out its always the same dudes that stink the place up.

Alot of arabs in your gym?

[Man of Steel]

Using wraps on cybex machines.   
Yelling across a crowded gym floor at someone you know.
The three trainers that colletively instruct one woman on how to perform lying leg curls.
Refilling a gallon container at the water fountain.
The guy that's always plays the role of the "angry spotter" yet rarely lifts anything heavy.

bwahahahaahahaahahaah, i never thought guys like that existed in other gyms as well!!

We have two "couples" with one big dude and a smaller guy running after him, listening to 'advice' and spotting the bigger guy all the time.
They look like a homo dream come true 120% f@ggots.

[calfzilla]

putting big infront of your first name when ur not big or just fat.


Fat guy on juice

when people ask me to make up a workout they start off by saying " Im not looking to get to big" any one hear that one

guy taking up five machines going back and forth doing one lite set at  a time.

guys talking about how there gonna smash the chick doing the lat pulldown when they know they will never get the time of day.

bad form due to way to much weight on bar.

fat guy with the B.O with no sleeves

I hate that!  Don't you want to just strangle the person while yelling at them that unless they try very hard they will not get big.  And even if they do try there still is no guarantee they will get big.  And before they turn blue and die inform them that most guys that are "too big" or on steroids.  Even more annoying when women say this because they have much less of a chance of getting big than men.

[A2daMIR]

that fucking "woodchopper/bat swing" excercise or whatever the fuck it is... guys taking up the whole cable machine to do 10 sets of those with 10lb ...do some deads that'll strengthen your core..

[QuakerOats]

the cybex plate loaded bench press where 150 pound guys can rep out 4 plates per side because of the ease of the machine.

[CalvinH]

QFT... I think some of you need to pull the bloody rag outta your vagina's

Gayer than starting a "pet peeve" thread on getbig to chat about "things men do" that just "get on your nerves"

 

[Ursus]

Boasting about stretch marks.

they are bogging.

Boasting about injuries...groups of people at my gym can almost compete for who fucked themselves up the most. gays

[Hereford]

1. The mexican kids who loiter and MAYBE half-ass lift the 25lb barbells once every half hour.
2. The little high school twinks who put 5x the weight on the bench that they can actually do, have 3 buddies spot them, actually lift 20 minutes later, do one rep that said buddies have to gang together to spot.
3. People on the F*CKING cell phone. Don't know why, but hearing a cell phone ring at the gym grates on my nerves.
4. People who bring their F'in kids to the gym, and the rat bastards run ape-shit and make noise.
