Title: List some of the things men do in the gym that they THINK is cool--but ISN'T
Post by: mwbbuilder on August 04, 2008, 02:24:29 PM
* 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?

Thee is a guy at my gym (actually a sound guy dead on etc) who brings his tub of BSN onto the gym floor leaves it there all workout and then at the end withouit fail attempts to pour a heaped scoop into a thin neck bottle leaving his creatine all over the floor. Every single day...why not fill it up in the house mess free?

People who fill their shaker and put it in their bag is pretty weird to me. Why not just fill it up with water after the workout?

Drinking water out of shakers IMO is weird too

haha I wish you could come see the place I workout.  We have this guy that is like 5'5 / 240 fat, he does like 215 pound shrugs everyday.  Theres another guy that's about 5'5 / 240 fat, and does Bench Press with that pad you put around the barbell for squats, so he can rest the bar on his chest between each rep.

Two high school jackass's came in and were loading plates onto a barbell resting on the incline bench, the idiot on one side put his second 45lb plate (not that they could rep it even once) on while the idiot on the other side was picking up his second 45lb plate.  The barbell just flung up like a catapult and hit the dry wall almost like a spear.  You could see thur the wall info the office next door.

I hate that sponge squat thing.

I also seen a guy bench with that before thouhg not at my gym.

I do srugs though only go lightish (ish) Doing 4 plate shrugs etc is retarded. So amny people at my gym are retarded.

We have a dumbell rack against a wall. One guy sets sit up bench at like 85 degree angle and does 3 situps. Funniest thing is that he is short and watching him scuttle up and down it is hilarious.

i bought some of that spray you can buy at prank shops that smells like ass, in hopes that if i sprayed myself all over with it before i went into the gym, that it might be a turn off and get me some breathing room.    

three weeks of workin out while smelling like an outhouse, and it hasnt helped yet.  :-\

Some guys bring a supplement shaker into the gym and carry it around with them like a badge of honor, most of these are about 140-180lbs.

Using knee wraps, and army boots to squat 250lbs for 5 good morning esque reps.

Bragging about how your gonna be a powerlifter and walking around with the invisble lat spread because you can bench 225 and squat 315 yet still looking like you never train in clothes.

all things ive seen at my gym.  :D

--Dropping the plates/DBs and screaming loudly on every rep is the most annoying and usually it's the same people

--Guys who walk around like pack horses with their backpack, belt, towel, some kind of drink, pad with pen, keys, and cell phone to EVERY piece of equipment they use. That's why the lockerroom exists.

Post by: ScottWelch on August 05, 2008, 06:42:35 AM
-Wearing sunglasses while working out.
-Doing partial reps on the bench or bouncing the bar off their chest but telling everyone they bench 3 plates.
-Wearing a weight-training belt for the whole workout to make their waist look smaller.
-Weighing themselves on the scale and leaving the number on the scale so that the next person sees just how much they weigh.
-Not putting their weights away so that everyone sees how much they lifted.

* 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....  ;D ;D

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.

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.

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?

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.

* 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

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.

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.   >:(

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.

* 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) I have had girls do this to me quite a few times i've never seen a guy do it. One looked pissed off i wasn't paying attention to her and went somewhere else probably to stop doing back in between legs or whatever she did

* Grunting when are lifting very impressive weight Very impressive weight needs a grunt or two

*Wearing those clown pants from the 90s Do not knock clown pants they rock

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

*Stopping and talking to everyone but thinking they are hardcore How are people going to know you are Hardcore if you don't tell them?

* Wearning clothes that are way too tight Clothes can NEVER be too tight!

*Coming up to you and giving you unsolicted advice Had this happen more when i was young and lifting very heavy suddenly no-one was paying attention to that bicep they saw in the right shadow of the mirror that morning

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

I really don't notice people much but one personal trainer is a retard, he does have decent arms but has to scream while training all the 'yeh baby great set', 'C'mon man' caught in the moment (the moment of bullshit). Terrible legs etc. has been complained about many times for his yelling while training. All he and his training partner did last session i was there was sneak looks at me to see if i was looking or because i've got a better physique, this is what makes me go in there, get it done and fuck off as quick as possible all the while missing those signals all the chicks are giving lol

Happened to me today.

There's this fuckwit who spends an average 25mins on every machine, does about 5 sets in that time with 8 reps and spends 20minutes reading.

After 20mins doing other stuff, i ask him: Are you finished yet? He looks up from his magazine and says: Only 2 or 3 more sets.

WTF? I wanted to hit the fucker.

i swear, gym population is getting weirder and weirder by the day; its like the most insecure people on earth chose to meet there.

People are so fucking brainwashed by main stream medias ,tv soaps and advertisements you feel like you're in an asylum where everyone tries to test his new "fashion" attitude on a daily basis more than actually lifting weights.

There's nothing positive to find in a gym nowadays, too many narcistic stupid dumbfucks ruining it all for the others.

Even gym's staff complain about the new kind of "week end warriors" who flood the gyms nowadays; two trainers i know told me they cant basically say anything to anyone fearing to "harass" or "disturb" the poor assholes messing around in the gym.


public gyms nowadays are a perfect advetisement for creating your home gym ...

I know these are not things which they do because they think its cool, but it sure fuk'n ISNT!

I agree with the people that take WAY too long on a piece of equipment, usually doing some German volume training, or you know just hanging out. The only thing that redeems some of these people is when they quickly offer to let me work in.

I also really get a kick out of the personal trainers that look like they don't personally train. I dont know if these people make there lazy ass clients feel better about them selves, after all who wants the cheerleaders to be in better shape than the athletes.(Please take no offense if you are one of the REAL trainers out there who actually push your clients to the point where they shockingly get results.)

I love how some of these hardasses think that they have to walk in the gym, not talk or look at other people, keep your head down the whole time and just "throw some iron" ::) 

It's only human nature to notice what is going on around you.  It's not like its your job to work out, and you have to remain extremely focused.  We are recreational lifters, not IFBB pros.  Stop taking yourselves so serious. :-\

Its guys like "brent2741" that strut into the gym as a 150 pound twink with their xxxl Tapout sweatshirt with the hood up, making sure not to make eye contact with anyone. ::)
