i was drunk at my band's show this past weekend... and I did a few roundhouse kicks to my drummer's crash cymbals. He whined like a baby.

I find that alot of people at the gym annoy me.  I live in an area that is upper middle class and man o man do people think there s**t don't stink around here.  So you got the people who's noses are so high in the air they are walking into lat pull down bars(I might be exaggerating, but you get the point).  I also find that in general people annoy me at the gym.  I think this has to do more with me being in a very serious mood and all business when I am there.  Its like I am driving at nascar speeds through the worlds worst traffic jam.  And then you have the people that are just plain ridiculous.  There is this one lady who does about 20-30 sets of abs using giant sets occupying all sorts of benches in the process.  The best move she does is she grabs a DB in her right hand and a low cable in the left and does side bends.  Anyone with half a brain can tell you that the two weights COUNTER BALANCE each other!  All in all though I do have some good people there too and everyone stays out of my way so its not all bad.

I think the people who do the karate moves out in public are just idiots.

I feel the same way about shadow boxers in non-boxing gyms.

I used to box and never would I EVER shadow box between sets in a non-boxing gym. I have a guy like that at the gym I'm going to right now and he drives me mad. He obviously wants everyone to know he boxes but why is what eludes me. (I'm sure we can all come up with more than a few possible reasons)

I don't know which is worse... the dumb ass freshman that does pullups off the BAR in the smith rack at the university... or the dumb ass freshman gym employees that hang out with him as he does the pullups.

It just can't be good for the rack.

D*ckhead that do curls in the squat rack.

C*nts that wear low-cut tops, thongs then do one arm rows or deadlifts and then act all p*ssed when ten tongues hit the floor.

Idiot trainers with their "core training" b.s.

*Sigh* Sad but true, as a PT myself it's hard to avoid this crap, I think it's more of a sales tactic then anything else.  However it does work to a degree, I use it for ONE of my clients she has scoliosis and she has a herniated disk and is only 17. Other then that its a pile of crap and a way to get more sessions. I have 4 clients that have come to me from other trainers because I produce results they can see i.e. lose weight fast, fit into a bikini, etc. and yes I do use "core strength techniques" and I don't have any of my clients on one foot, or preping to join the circus.  It works but it's not meant for anyone who is not fresh out of rehab.

Circuit dude- Annoys me very much. Circuit trains using the entire fucking gym. Anyways, you won't see the fucker for a half hour, but as soon as you use ANYTHING, he comes and claims it.

The Shaver- This dude shaves every fucking hair off his body. EVERY SINGLE ONE! Always leaves a fucking mess.

The screamer- this guy sounds like a tugboat. You always know when he is training...

I'm annoyed at the quantity of people in the gym who focus more on what other people are doing to annoy them than they are on their workouts.  I know some people make such a scene with thier stupidity in the gym that you just can't miss it or the offender is blocking your workout, but there are far too many people who seem like they came to the gym more to be annoyed by everyone.  I'm starting to think everybody in the gym is annoying to someone else.  It probably happens all the time.  X lifter is thinking, look at that jackass while another lifter is thinking what the hell is X lifter doing.  Knowing I'm going to go to the gym with no chance that these things are not going to occur, I just put my headphones on and do my best to tune out what everyone is doing.  It doesn't always work but most of the time my workouts are much better working around the stupidity rather than dwelling on it.  I've seen some people really flip in the gym over the stupidity, which is pretty annoying to everyone I'm sure.

lets be real on this point; most of the a gym members are insecure persons who find an occasion to show off, even if they look like shit.This massive concentration of insecure persons in a small area can only result in a pitiful contest of "look at me im incredible" stupid posers.

The only thing i dont get is why i ve always been discreet, respectful and humble since the begining, and why there are always these newbies, with bony arms and wearing tank top,showing off their unbearable physique bitching around like if they were ahnold.

This lack of discretion and this total act of stupidity,that seems so comon,will never cease to amaze me. But i have to agree, most of these persons only show off for a week or less, and then, we never see em again, thanks god.

for some reason, after they train, they come out of the locker room and walk very slowly around the gym, on the way out, with no shirt on.

two 120 lb, 17 year olds... upper body completely tensed... carrying on a conversation while keeping their eyes fixed on the wall mirrors. Ppl don't even try to hide the laughter as they pass.

I wonder why they never come back? Maybe it's because of douchebags like you who are so worried about what everyone else is doing.

I try to be pretty focused, but here's a short list:

Stinky people. There's a huge difference between BO and sweat.

"I'll spot you" guy. Why does the skinniest guy offer to spot when you're squatting heavy? Like he could help anyways.

"I need a spot" guy. Normally he benches around 135 with a lot of effort and bad technique, but today 315 looks really doable. So he needs two lifts, one to get it up and another to get it off his chest.

People who talk too much.

Cell phones (except Jade, LOL!).

Guys that feel it's necessary to stare at your pecker in the locker room.

first of all, i trained AT HOME and made some signifanct gains there, before i entered any fucking gym. I would never have dare enter a gym with not a fucking pound of muscle.
and i often help some people when they DESERVE it with a proper attitude.
But im sorry, when a fucking newbie comes and ride up his sleeves when curling in the squat rack because he wants to show  his fucking pitiful biceps, i think he simply deserve to  cease to live.

and you know these people exists.Even if its their first day, they will dare to intimidate us, with their grotesque physique.how can they?

I have these two guys in my gym I call the golf homos.  They come in the damn weight room and do all kinds of weird stretches where they are all over each other.  Then they have this little half sized golf club thing that's attached to a bungee cord that they hook up to any solid thing (usually the bench press or or squat area) in the gym and practice golf swings.  I get so f**cking pissed off because I can't bench press cuz these two idiots are using to it practice their golf swing. 
I don't understand why they have to come to the gym, especially the weight room, to do this.  They could do the exact same things in their house without having to dish out the gym fee. 
They also bring their own little mat thing and put it right smack dab in the middle of the weight room to do their stretches.  They are all sensitive about it too.  They take their shoes off when they are on it (remember I'm in Japan).  So every time I walk to the drinking fountain I purposely walk right over it with my shoes on.  There is nothing these two little Japanese guys can do about it.
I'm usually not a jerk, but I hate these two guys so much.

Here's another one.

The other day I was using the leg press and after I finished my second set I went to get a drink of water.  When I came back there was some middle aged guy sitting on the leg press chair SLEEPING!   I was only gone a maximum of a minute and a half.  I have no idea how the hell he could've wandered over there and fallen asleep in that short of time. 
I just went and did some lunges until he woke up so I could continue my leg presses.

Oh yeah, one more.

Anybody who uses the lat pulldown bar incorrectly!  I hate those people who put too much weight on there, grab the bar, jump up in the air, and use the force of their jump to pull the bar down along with their falling body.  I know all of you have had to have seen this a million times.

My friend and I once agreed that the lat pulldown bar is the most incorrectly used piece of machinery in the gym.  (Oh man, I almost forgot.  Last week I saw a high school kid who laid on the ground and hooked the tops of his feet around the bar and pulled it down.  That by far is the craziest thing I've ever seen.)  Anyway...we were saying that there should be a rule that you can't use the lat pulldown bar unless A) you can state its proper use, and B) say which muscle it works.   None of the gym idiots know which muscle it is for.

People in the gym who annoy me are:

2)Ones who exercise in the sauna or steam room.
3)Ones who hang around the pool, and stare at me blankly.
4)Ones who talk or ß!+©h a lot.

Once a guy p!$$€Ð on the rocks in the sauna heater. The sauna smelled like something died in it. The guy who did it waived his right to be called a person.

1.  Guys that make loud "ughs" and "hups" when they lift
2.  Chiropractors who think they know all about bodybuilding.
3.  Guys that are all "bulk" who say they don't compete because they don't bodybuild for trophies.
4.  Guys that DO compete that won't give average Joe's the time of day.
5.  Circuit trainers- what piece of equip are you NOT using?
6.  Fat guys that claim they are powerlifters.- fat aint muscle!

4. Young guys that think they are badasses and stare at you and check you out when you are lifting 3 times what they lift.

5. Guys who train in groups of more than 3 that sit around and make jokes.

6. Guys that staaaaaaaaare at my girlfriend.

The double squat looks annoying. One other annoying person did a head-stand. I agree that people look like idiots when they do karate moves or shadow-box in gyms. I can see where members could sue gyms if they get accidentally kicked, knocked down, or punched by others.

Yeah I get alot of these guys in my gym, wanna be Andrews(Animalpak guy)  ::)

I have to admit, the thought of hitting them with a dumbell was the funniest thing I have heard all day.

The woman with the gender identity crisis. Lifts heavy (for a woman) but with BAAAAAD form and LOTS OF LOUND GRUNTS AND SCREAMS so she can be sure she gets your attention. She is muscular but really looks like dog cr#p because she only trains legs once every two weeks and back once a week. The rest is chest. She's also about one sandwhich short of a picknick and likes to talk about how yesterday when she was at the gym "bodybuilding". She thinks she knows it all most of the time. Oh yeah, she treats her boyfriend like he is her bitch.

The guy who workouts out really hard, but does absofreakinlutely nothing correct. You can't talk to him to give him pointers because he wears headphones all the time and closes his eyes when he is doing a set.

Saw this thread and had to reply:

The fat idiot who brings his 13 year old in and 'trains' him.  The problem here is that he doesn't know sh*t himself and triews to make us as he goes.  For example, on the Smith Bench press, tells his kid "No son, you have to get you hands as wide as possible, to activate more pec muscle"
Title: Re: Annoying people in the gym...
Post by: LLES on March 26, 2005, 09:13:23 AM
1-Women who wear too much make-up & perfume in the gym
2-Guys who sit on a piece of equipment & talk on the cell-phone for 15-20 min.
3-Middle-age guys who do 8 sets on 1 piece of equip. & take 45.min to do it
4-Fat f*cks who come in the sauna nude & won't even cover their fata**es w/a towel
5-guys who flex after every set & think their the next R.Coleman
6-people who don't wipe their nasty-a** sweat-pools off the equip. when their done.
7-Wannabe gangsters w/beenie caps & tattoos on their 14in arms trying too look tough & on & on & on.

Another, the loud obnoxious fat guy, who does lift some considerable weight, that just MUST talk about how he is turning his life around and that he'll never go back to jail/prison because he cares for his daughter to much... (this is the same topic of conversation at every session) >:(

This person is also one of those listed above as ALWAYS there doing bench press..
"Yah baby, 295 on the incline"  Thats more than I can incline, but why do I know that you ask.....that a**hole shouts it after most sets, or brings it into most conversations.  His training partner must be fu*king tired of hearing it but says nothing.

I guess the two types that get under my skin the most are little men who don't know when to shut up, and big women who don't know when to shut up.

Yesterday there was a chick doing cardio and talking on her cell which usually really pisses me off, but she had a great ass, so I overlooked it. :-* ;D

or how about the guy who interrupts you for a spot (no prob) & then proceeds to psyche himself up for the next 5-10 min while maxing at 185 ( no prob. we all start somewhere) for 1-2 reps w horrible form & then when you try to get away, they chase you down for all additional spots

   New gym rules
« on: March 26, 2005, 09:11:04 PM »    Reply with quote Modify message Remove message
Okay, I have some new rules for some of the people at my gym. Tell your freinds


#1 the lady using the thigh-machine as furniture.

>those might look like chairs, lady, but they are for exercise. You might think that doing 1/20th of a rep with 5 lbs while havinng a conversation justifies you staying seated there for 15 f**king minutes at a time- let me assure you- the real athletes in the gym are peeee-yist at you for stealing their equipment. Try talking in the locker room or in the hallways. God forbid you actually USE those the equipment for fitness purposes

#2 Mr. freindly

>You may notice I am wearing headphones. that is so I can't hear people talking about their girlfreinds, jock itch, their parents...

If you see me working out do not talk to me in the middle of a set to ask me how I got so big, learned to move quickly became flexable, are you a black belt- in fact unless my hair is on fire, don't talk to me. If the gym is on fire, I will take care of myself(certainly not you). If you want to know how to get big, watch reading rainbow and learn how to use a f**king library.

If you want to talk to me in the locker room, the hallways or when it looks like I am resting, I may respond politely. if you stop me mid-set for anything, I expect a catastrophy of 9/11 proportions

#3 the jokester.

>When you see me doing windsprints, or kicking  in a strait line do not run in front of me. there is a reason I go to the most secluded part of the gym for these exercises. If your face plows into my foot at 90 mph and I kick the stupid out of you- it looks more like it must be your own fault.

Mayby, if you were fourteen and drunk it could be a little bit funny. But if I plow into you or accidentally kick you because you are snickering when you should be dodgeing me only one of us is going to get into trouble, and I am not completely sure its going to be you. If you want to know what it feels like to be kicked in the face, let me know (between sets) and I will kindly take you out back.


#4 the old fat lady with the playboy tatoo

>Wear more clothes. That is all.

#5 The skinny guy swinging a dumbell half of his weight at seven reps a second.

>You know what? Keep up the good work. sure. I mean, we have a red telephone in the corner of the gym, what is the worst thing that could happen?

#6 The fat fitness instructor.

>Do not come up to me in the middle of a set and tell me I am using too much weight. My reps are slow and controlled. I lift the full stack on most of the leg machines simply because I train heavy and because I  train smart. If my form ever slips all of the real weight room attendants (You can recognize them because they look like bodybulders) will jump on me, quickly.

In fact, I will make you a deal. If I ever want to look fat and old, you will be the very first person I go to. Till then, keep to your scrawney out of shape cronies.

Thank you

   

the guy in the last rule pisses me off the most because he leads an aerobics/ cross training class three times a week during primetime. not only can  I not use anything for an hour while he is teaching (weak shitty exercises too) but when he is done and I can use the weight room again it is contaminated- no - saturated with out of shape  newbs that swear that circut training is the way to go.  most of the guys in my list are a problem immidiatly following this fatasses class

17. That one guy who is always there at the gym no matter what time you go.


The gyms where I go have someone like him. Don't he and people like him have homes?

I'd like to point out some more annoying people in gyms:

1. Old men who walk on the pool floor lengthwise & width-wise.

2. A guy who shadow-boxes in the pool

3. Ones who wear rubber or plastic suits, or heavy clothes in the sauna or steam room to "sweat off pounds."

We must lift at the same gym.  There is one of each at mine.

The poor guy in the second example lifts with bad form, but also at three times the speed as anybody else.  We call him "Top Speed"...
Title: Re: Annoying people in the gym...
Post by: Adam Empire on April 05, 2005, 09:01:25 PM
1) Any retired person who has all day to lift, but decides to go during the busy hours - to socialize (and get in the way on the equipment I want to use).

2) The gym manager who refuses to buy new (needed) equipment.  Yes, grip tape is needed on the leg press...

3) The guys who don't lift legs ever - "I do cardio for my legs".  Get some work ethic!

4) People that take an extended amount of time off, but then squeeze into the spandex that they have outgrown.

5) Anybody who blow dries ANY part of their body below the neck!  (Unfortunately I think I've seen it all)

6) The perv that might be masterbating in the hot tub.

7) Trainers that train every person with the same program.  Look, I'm sure not every one of your clients has the same goals.

8)  The guy who loads up the smith machine for squats then goes down about 2 inches. 

9) The power lifters that don't unload their equipment - manners people...

10) Anybody in flip flops.  Why even go to the gym, what can you do in sandals besides walk to the sauna?

11) The "socks pulled up" crowd.  If you don't have calves, maybe you should work them instead of buying knee highs.

12) Always overly tan guy.  I can't wait to see this guy in two years, looking 6 years older with liver spots.

13) People that talk about what they benched in high school.

14) Upper body only lifters.  "Yes, you have big arms.  They are bigger than your thighs."

15) The people that have like 1 or 2 sets of workout clothes.  There is no way these people do the wash each night after the gym so the clothes are clean for the next workout.

Man, my gym is annoying.   ::)

Ok unfortunatley I'm guilty of this one  :'(
I work out alone and if I need a spot when lifting heavy, I politely ask.  The reason I'll ask the same person is some people just dont know how to spot.

Annoying people
#1 Based on above (me I guess)
#2 The guy who loads up the flat bench with 405. proceeds to do some sort of mini elbow bend with it.  screams for two reps(?) and then you overhear him tell everyone he can put up 405 for 3!

in my gym there are any gods amount of plates seriously 200+ ranging from .5kg to 20kg. Anyway me and my mate were benchin the other day and for whatever reason this gym has only 3 12.5kg plates which is kinda strange. Anyway we were using these and this guy insists on coming oiver and askin for them. Why? we were using them. could he not be a gimp adn just use a 10kg and 2.5kg to make it up. he was so annoying. Thats what i would do anyway.

Moreover he wears 3/4 length trousers is kinda fat and wears a vest.

A few of my own:

1. Guys with fewer than ten posts that want to join in......oooops that's me!

2.  The five fat giggling girls that decide to use the leg press machine on my leg day.

3.  The "wife beater tank top and lots of hair gel" weighing in at 150 lbs club.

4.  Johny Cell Phone

5.  The "trainers" that look like they just got off the bus from school....seriously, I think you can't work at my gym if you are older than eighteen and weigh more than 165.

6.  The "cardio theater".....seriously.

7.  Since I am a big guy, people seem to always ask me for a spot....I love the "just give me a little help here, I'm going for eight reps" guy.  Before you know it, he's halfway through the first rep and your both struggling to re-rack the weight.

8.  THE "I think I'll leave my lock on my locker year round" clowns.

9.  The guys who wear tshirts eight sizes too small so the sleeves hug their 13" arms.

10.  Johnny "Flex my chest everywhere I go".

11.  Arm Band tattoo willie....dude, if they charged by the inch, I bet you got a great deal on that tattoo!

12.  The daycare center.....these gyms are more like the mall anymore, tanning salons, fruit drink bars, day care, cardio cinemas.....and this is a Golds Gym!!

13.  There are many, many more.....but I'll finish with this one.  How 'bout the spandex guy who gets on the eliptical (sp?) machine and goes balls out for exactly four minutes and then goes over to tan.....btw there is a similar thread on Training Q and A...lots more examples, it's hilarious!

The women have the annoying naked chick...no you don't want to see her...she has a flesh apron from where she's lost 90 lbs and still has a way to go...yuch! 

The women also have the chick who scraps the callouses off her feet in the locker room and leaves a pile of dead skin on the floor..yuch!

Let's not forget the dude who walks by plenty of men to ask me to spot him while he's on the bench.  He "just needs help with that last rep"...I say yes then realize all he is after is a view from down under...He is tilting his head back and keeps taking deep breaths and blowing out and up my crotch....yes this where I walk away.

I know how you feel.  Again, the ones at the gym where I go hang out by the pool and stare at me blankly. One of them had what Sweaty Girl calls a "flesh apron."

6) The perv that might be masterbating in the hot tub.

Title: Re: Annoying people in the gym...
Post by: McCrackheads Back on April 07, 2005, 01:31:04 PM
I have skipped to the end of this thread to vent....

I normally stay away from gym idiot threads because a lot of posts are ways for people to brag about how much they lift...

But anyway, here goes. Its leg day. After warming up and then doing 4 heavy set of 15, I go to the leg press. I do 4 sets one leg at a time, then loaded the fucker up with 28 plates.

I strap myself in and am ready to go. Then I notice a skinny asian dude is leaning on the plates stacked onto the 45 degree leg press - apparently oblivious to the fact that I was about to start pushing it. He's on his cell phone and dancing on the spot to the gym music.

I try for about a minute to make eye contact with the guy. I finally do and motion (politely) for him to get off the rack so I can start my set. He acknowledges me but stays there. I wait another 30 seconds and he's showing no signs of getting out of the way, still dancing and on his cell and now avoiding eye contact.

I figure I gave him fair warning and wasnt about to climb out of the leg press, so I unlocked the weight stack and rammed the weight stack up as hard as I could. The obvious result occured - the weight caught him in the chin, knocked his cell out of his hand and sent him realing backwards.

It was then my turn to avoid eye contact and pretend nothing happened while I did my set. He wasnt in the gym by the time I climbed out of the leg press but Im guessing it broke skin and maybe then some.

Word to the wise. If you dont want to get hit by a weight stack - dont lean on it.

I just hate when people stare at me when I lift, especially when I lift more weight than they can handle,  they give you looks.

Also hate when girls lift 5 or 10lbs dumbells like (training with low intensity and getting nothing out of it) or girls that do 30+ reps on the machines or bench's while you wait for them.

No, but there are two rather big hot tubs (fit 20 people each) that can be up to your neck when you sit in them.  The jets are very powerful and so there is no way to see through the water.  After the first time I saw an old dude with a "sex face" expression, I never went in again.  Makes you think...

No, but there are two rather big hot tubs (fit 20 people each) that can be up to your neck when you sit in them.  The jets are very powerful and so there is no way to see through the water.  After the first time I saw an old dude with a "sex face" expression, I never went in again.  Makes you think...

That's OK. The gyms where I go don't let members sit nude in the hot tubs, either. I tend to keep my distance from them, also. Sometimes dudes sit in them for 15-30 minutes.

Fat people annoy the hell out of me at the gym,,,especially the nasty fat piglet women who wear spandex and get on the treadmill and think they are actually doing something to lose weight..here's an example...i am on my 4th mile at the gym doing cardio on the treadmill ,,u know with my head phones plugged into my cd player when suddenly this gigantic ugly fat woman gets right next to me and does like maybe 6 or 7 minutes on the slowest speed with no incline ..so fat and disgusting,,anyway,,then she leaves the gym,,shows no effort to even break a sweat and i am glad she didnt..it would of looked like she was sweating gravy...

first of all, i think way to many of you guys spend too much time in the locker room, in the 3 years ive been lifting, i think i have gone into the locker/bathroom like twice to take a piss, what the hell do you guys do in there? take a shower at home or something.  anyways, heres my list

1. theres a kid at my gym who screams on everyset and the best part is that i saw him the other day and he was putting chalk on his hands in order to use an nautical bicep machine

2. theres some fat ass dude that wears trashbags under his clothes and drips his fat ass sweat over everything he does, he's one of those morons who thinks losing temporary water weight is the same as losing fat

3. the guys who f**king LOAD up i mean LOAD up the leg press machine and then wrap their fat knees up, then proceed to go down 1/16 of an inch and do 3 reps, wtf, i bet that really works

4. people who never do more than 3 reps on the benchpress, they load up a ton of weight then get a spotter and do like 5 sets of 2 and never go beyone that. u gotta do some endurance training too idiots

5. i also hate how ive never seen a trainer that looks in shape.  that is an oxymoron to me, but yet every trainer i see is either fat ass hell, or twiggy and stupid. wtf?

6. me, when i flex too much in the mirror, and i get caught, i feel like a jackass but oh well, everyone has flaws =)

1.)  The teenage girls who's sole purpose of being in the gym is to distract and flirt with people who are actually there to work.

2.)  Mormon housewives who are "making an effort" to get in shape, but only succeed in taking up all the machines and cardio equipment.

3.)  Old retired people who come during the daytime and proceed to spend more time socializing than working out.  Since when is the gym social hour or Elk lodge?

4.)  The PT's who interrupt me during a set to tell me I'm doing the leg curl machine wrong.....even worse, I actually take the time out to explain to the idiot why I do it that way..... ::)

5.)  The female PT's who are married or involved who still take every opportunity to flirt with you during your sets, even when they are training a client.  Makes you want to strangle them or fuck them right on top of the leg press..... :P

1).  The Screamer.   Dont you hate this guy? every gyms got one

2).  The spandex Lady.....or should I say Ladies.....You know that over the hill lady squeezing herself into the tights, trying to relive the glory days....Yikes!

3).  The Dripper.....The old bastard dripping sweat all over the Stairclimber... the sad thing is that he usually has a big pot belly and does cardio every day for like an hour.

4).  The Socializer.... These people drive me crazy... Its like peak time, theres like 5 of us getting ready for shows, we need to use the equipment and there she is, reading a book while sitting on the machine.. Or the people who make their rounds for about 20 minutes bullshitting before they even touch a weight.

5).  Mr Bicep.... You know the guy who trains arms every day... He can always be spotted wearing a tank top with sweats on to hide his chicken legs.

6).  The Anabolic Child.....You know the 18-20 year old on a cycle bigger than most pros... He walks around with an attitude, a face full of zits, always bench pressing and never training legs.. The Guy is not a bodybuilder but just trying to jack his ego or look for a fight.

Wannabe bodybuilders that think there is only one way to train!!! They are fat and always in the bulking phase. They have no clue about real training and sports performance training, funtional training, hypertrophy specific training, etc. They just base everything off of what they read in a flex magazine or what some juice head tells them in the gym. How about you pick up some real training books and study up on the subject!!! Or actually go to college and study some exercise science, exercise physiology, strength and conditioning, and biomechanics courses. They give the same training advice to an athlete trying to improve his quickness and agility that he would give to someone trying to gain 20lbs. of muscle. Sorry but it really pisses me off when I am in the gym and I hear these clowns trying to give advice to anyone that will listen.

I hate the jags who go to the dumb bell rack and grab a pair of DB's and procede to do their set right in front of the rack, not allowing anyone else access to the DB's.  I guess everyone else just has to wait while MR or MRS F*ck face does their set, not like it matters for them, most of them you would never even believed belonged to a gym, if you didn't see them there.

It always seemed my perception the maintenance people would enchroach on my space when they have the whole gym they could be cleaning on. but no, they have to clean right next to me while Im lifting. 2 nights ago Im on the treadmill, the only guy in the friggin gym and the tool starts vacuuming right around the treadmills where Im at. Im thinking, what the hell, is he gay? Suddenly the treadmill jerks and Im almost thrown off. Turns out the moron accidently gets his vacuum caught up under the belt and rips the vacuum in half.  "Sorry" he says....Had I thought quick enough I would have fallen down, claimed my back was injured, and made his life miserable..

Big guys who use very light weight.  Example, an approximately 220 man curling the 20 lb dbells.  I see this guy all the time and he uses relatively decent weight for other exercises.  I realize it is tough for him to BS with others in the gym and lift heavy but that is retarded.


 Maybe he is doing "shaping" exercises so he doesn't get too blocky.

It wouldn't really bother me so much if they were talking to someone else, but while I am trying to do reps this dude is standing next to me yakking away. They have no comprehension of the fact that those of us who take workouts seriously need to concentrate.

the 140 lb. geek who does supersets of side bends, 30 lb. fixed bar curls and hanging leg raises and watches you pull deadlifts off the floor and do heavy rows and then says to you when you're breathing like a steam engine, "tiring huh?"

I go to the gym at like 530 in the a.m, so its generally pretty quiet. EXCEPT for this one goonie guy that lets out a huge “HUP...HUP...HAA!’” loud as hell with each rep. Even rope pushdowns with like 50 pounds on it. Then when he is done he looks in the mirror and poses. Then there is this other typical ass that throws the dumbells across the room when he does his last rep of incline presses. I tell you, if he ever hits me in the foot with one of them, you will be reading about it in the papers cause I will open a can of whoop ass.

1. chicks that wear half shirts that have big red arrows coming from all directions pointing to that oh so original ink stain they call a tattoo on the small of their back. so impressive. I got nothing against ink, but come on.

2. the group of 5 guys training (I use that term loosely) on the same piece of equipment and jabbering away as they swap stories about the chick they did one time.....like at band camp.

3. Dick on the counter of the sink while shaving? That calls for an accidental dumbell drop.

This is a great thread...

here is my most recent update..

1. Nuclear stand-off:

when you do an exercise that has the same piece beside you and get a guy who wants to do more than whaterver you are doing... this of course is an act of war and usually ends up with me doing the entire stack and them slinking off to do a core exercise...

2. cardio vultures:

these people dont do cardio for any benefit, but to people watch...sometimes i think they are looking for road kill....funny thing is the way they perch/lean on the machine they look like a big ugly bird peering here and there sizing up something or somebody as a potential  morsel to eat


3. male locker room review:

people have mentioned this but it needs reinforcement: you old fucking bastards and homos: stop fucking lollygagging, nuts-a-swinging in my face as I drink my protein and creating post workout....take your cheap ass home and shower...do everyone a favor: nobody wants to see your wrinkled ass that looks like a huge fucking walnut parading around the locker room


4. Yap patrol:

 this gym enthusiast is quite the "people" person and takes great joy is conversing with the entire fucking gym...I wonder...how can one get in a "workout" and still have time to say "wazz up"? to 150 people every evening.... believe when I say this oh king of conversation: nobody fucking cares what you did last night, where you went or what you watched on teh boob toob....end of discusion 


I am done

Any of you guys have annoying people in the gym???

There's this guy in my gym... everytime he finishes a set, he does a karate stance and starts doing some moves... he probably wants everyone to know that he knows karate  ::)... one time i saw him try to kick the smith machine... really annoying!

i know a fag like that i ended up wrapping him up like a present had him pinned up against the lockers cuz he tried to do that shit to me. anyways i think he does that shit to impress these skanky asian bitches he likes.

also we got this guy always checking himself out it reminded me of uncle rico of napolean dynamite "remember the seen where he's checking out his arms". and i told him so haven't seen him in the gym since then cuz i started calling him uncle rico in front of a group of people and he got laughed out of there.

Yup...I hear you. You almost feel like telling these idiots that they are in the wrong fucking gym. One thing I really hate is when these scrawny kids have to lift their 30lb dumbbells in front of the rack with the 130lb bells and up. They have 2 thousand sqaure feet to work out in the little weight section but they choose to take a bench near the large weights were pro bbdr's who have shows are trying to train. No etiquitte anymore.

 You see? Mercedes is a good sport. Nothing more of a turn on than secure and confident women with a great sense of humor with thick skin.

 There are so many figure or fitness or BB girls who read these boards all day long but NEVER post out of fear of getbig attacks and as they all say 'mean negative talk.'

 If they would just stop beings such pristine sheltered babies and POST and mix it up and take em on the chin(no pun intended) and give it back and let all nonsense roll off their shoulder...it would be fun!

 Especially this one particular fitness girl who reads these boards, used to post but is afraid to now...it would be fun to have her here slinging out information and ideas. Instead, she'd rather hide out and troll the boards and call her 'ex man' whos a short blonde 'controversial' bodybuilder and cry and complain about what we are saying...

 ROCK ON, Mercedes! Fkn GETBIG salutes you!

Lol... As if nobody knows who you're talking about now.  ::) But you know, some people can deal with it and some prefer not to. Ask Mindspin, I was so pissed last year when I first came here, after seeing how offensive certain posts can be, that I disappeared for a whole year. Then I came back to give it another try.  :) Everone deals with things their own way, I respect that.
