1. The guy that sits in the leg extension machine for 6 sets with three minute breaks in between.
2. The guy that ties up the pulley doing tricep extensions while he holds a conversation during the set with his buddy. If you're not going to even try to put in some effort get out of the gym.
3. The delusional guy who puts 900lbs on the leg press machine and does little knee bends. He walks away leaving the plates on it.
4. When you ask a girl if you can work in and she automatically assumes you're hitting on her. She smiles a smug smile and says, no.
5. Guys who are full of unwanted training advice in the gym.
6. Delusional man who half reps everything with the biggest weights. He really thinks he's strong. Couldn't lift 225lbs over head from the floor. Yet half reps 500lbs in the squat. Half reps 130lbs dumbbells in the incline press. Deadlifts in the cage so the bar can start just below his knee with 500lbs when he couldn't budge 400lbs off the ground.
7. MMA guy. Wears Affliction and Tap out shirts and shadow boxing in between sets. If you look his way he mean mugs you.
8. Hang out guy. He's in the gym every time you go but he never appears to lift anything. Every 10 minutes you might see him do something. Just weird.
9. Smelly guy. Sometimes he's the same guy that runs to spot you in the bench with his balls over your head. Bud, go away, I would rather get pinned with the weight.
10. Personal trainer type guys telling hot girls what to do when they didn't ask for any help. Guy, she is of your league.

at least these people are safe, you gotta watch the lunatics who throw there weights and drop things when the set is done. this is why i train at home.

Everyone at my gym which is why, since December, I train at 5.30am wherever possible. Had enough of puffed up 5'3 dwarfs with boils on their faces slamming weights in order to attract the attention of the few obese 'girls' sitting on the stationary bikes nursing a Coke, reading Fifty Shades of Grey.
Am I getting more cranky are people getting more fucking dumb and irritating?

The small pigeon chested guy who spends an hr on the cable crossovers, i watched this guy do 20 sets of cable crossovers today, weighed 150 chest like a young squirrel after which he asks how to get a chest like mine.
By far the most annoying people in the gym are the guys who come in do 10 sets on bench press 135 for 10 after that its a spot from rep 1 225 friends pull the bar off their chest from rep 1. the do 10 sets in total... ridiculous. If i was ever a gym owner that could never happen in my gym
-
i love training at home alone
-
i hate guys who come and preach me about being natural
they are either twinks or fat fucks
both these types been training for over a decade and delusional as fuck
both of them flex their bicep and tell me how decent it is for natural
ffs

I trained legs this afternoon at 16.00 and there was around 25-30 people in the gym, not one other person was training legs, all half wit thick spotty teens with their hands down their underpants (when they are not texting someone) training chest and arms.
I don't speak or interact with anyone, not even the gym owner or staff.
In,train and home.
I only use that gym because its two minutes down the road.

7. MMA guy. Wears Affliction and Tap out shirts and shadow boxing in between sets. If you look his way he mean mugs you.
always smirk at the mean mugger. he will immediately know you have mentally unraveled him.
puffing up demonstrates you see him as a threat.
smirk says he's a child to you, and his tough guy act amuses you.

Nice!

nobody trains legs or back nowadays... its a arms arms arms arms arms....

I only wish I had the money to train at home. I get burnt out on certain exercises after about 3-4 months and just spin my wheels unless I switch to something else. To afford a great enough variety of equipment for my tastes might run 75-100k -- and that's not even taking into account the fact I currently live in a quaint, even cute but nonetheless small 1,400 sq. ft. dive :(
But I am lucky in that I'm a Y member and can train at multiple branches in my town. Get tired of one branch? Go lift at another for awhile. The branch at which I currently train is actually quite nice, and I'm doubly lucky because there are just a handful of guys in there "lifting" when I'm there.
I can't say any of them are particularly annoying apart from this one older fart who looks like a really smooth Clarence Bass. He trains ... weird. On some exercises, he'll do these fast, jerky bottom-half reps. On others, like dips, he'll lower himself down maybe 3", then pop back up. His rep cadence is such that he looks like he's having seizures atop dipping bars. And he likes to tie up the one really decent adjustable incline bench in the DB area for his bizarre version of presses. One day I had to ask him if I was about done. He was nice enough but gave me a funny look when I took the incline down a couple of notches and grabbed a pair of 55s -- 30 more lbs. per hand than he deigned to press -- for my incline curls.
(Yes, that is sort of a joke, you fuckers :D I did low incline curl a pair of 55's in my last workout, though. 8 bilateral reps (?), slow on the way down, trying to keep my grip a bit loose until the last couple of reps. My biceps are decent but weak as fuck, so I was proud of that. Anyway, flame on ;) .)
One fellow does amuse me, though. He's got prominent SS tattoos, swastikas and all this other shit, but he talks to everybody like he's been friendly with them for 20 years. He sort of reminds me of a somewhat more diesel Daryl from "Walking Dead" :D Apparently some of the black dudes in there don't even know what the SchutzStaffel is and/or what the two SS lightning bolts signify. I'm waiting for Diesel Daryl and an educated brother to have some words, LOL.

Nobs that are obviously juicing, getting on with all their absurd posturing.
Granted a big juiced mofo can be inspiring, but not when there checking out their gyno in the mirror every five seconds.
-
Anything Monday night in the gym.
Mondays are when all the fools are in benching and curling.
-
I hate those (anti)socializing douches, playing mr popular with their lame jokes, cell phones and dumb chicks.

I always get a kick out of the guys with over sized, well developed arms and everything else looks COMPLETELY untrained. It just looks fucking weird.

try going to golds venice at 730 in the morning, you have people sitting on a machine with their coffee, people reading a newspaper while sitting on a machine, and trainers and their clients and others using 10 pieces of equipment at once

years ago this guy pulled a real crazy prank,
he walks up to me (don't remember exact time but figure 8:30), and says that girl there on the treadmill (super hot) is kinda shy, shes wanted him to walk up to me and ask if I can go up to her at 8:40 and introduce myself, she really wants to know more about me.
I'm like sure, thanks.
My head starts spinning, this is amazing, things like this don't really happen, If I meet a girl I have to walk up. I look at my watch, im like I am not gonna fuck this up by being late, seriously thinking with my little head.
8:40 hits, im walking up, but so are 4 other guys, we are all convinced that those other guys are simply pigs trying to hit on her, and we are the choose one.
It became rather clear we where all played nicely, turns out earlier in the evening she turned this guy down or something.
-
guys who walk around aimlessly and you get the vibe they are just looking for someone to talk to about putting on size
old timers who use to be twice your size have 21 inch arms blah bla blah
old short fat fuck pretending to be a powerlifter
guy that shadow boxes in the mirror while glancing
guy that throws kicks in your vicinity.
old fat women who eyeball too much
-
old timers who use to be twice your size have 21 inch arms blah bla blah
hahaha or you should see my son, he doesnt even work out and his arms are like yours but 5x the size,

love training legs. I know every piece of equipment I wanna use will be free lol!

I tink they should have a gym for advanced trainers... people who know what they are doing... If i ever open a gym that would be the kind of gym id run.. if you want to talk on your cell while doing curls or do 30 sets of cable crossovers.. get your fucking ass to a leisure or fitness gym
-
I saw a mofo tonight on the damn hack squat machine while on the cell phone at the same time while doing light reps.
SMFH!!!!

your gym would last all of about 6 months until it is swallowed up by a nameless fitness center
-
How about guys that only bench and curl? You know the guy that benches 4 times a week and they actually have a good bench but they couldn't dead lift what they bench. They always want to know what you bench so they can tell you what they bench. I always tell them I don't bench at all when I work out. I don't have a clue what I bench and I don't think it's a very good exercise.
How about hat guy. It's 75 degrees in the gym and your sweating like a pig but your styling in that knit hat that probably smells like a sock on a dead guy decomposing in the sun.
How about giant set guy. The guy is using two benches and three machines at the same time.
How about dancing and singing guy. Actually I find this funny when a guy with an Ipod starts singing and dancing.
I realize this is all negative. Next time it will be positive things in the gym.

;D ;D ;D
I dont agree man...
people will pay for standards if i knoew there gym with requirements for only advanced trainer i would so gladly pay triple price to the one I go to full of dumb kids who do 30 sets of bench press and cable cross overs... id pay for a gym with proper gym etiquette, and so would a lot of people .. once people know there is an requirement they will want to see why there is one...
-

yes aside from when you have a donkey doing barbell curls in the rack
but usually for me.. the heviest dumbells are free, deadlift station free and the chinning bar is always 100% free

Real bodybuilding gyms are really rare today. Planet Fitness type gyms are exploding all over the place. It makes more sense to have members who join and don't show up. In the late 70's and early 80's women in the gym were a really rare thing. Now it seems it's almost 50%. Some gyms it's even more. Back it the day bodybuilding was more popular. Now MMA type dojos seem to be the big thing now.
-
Now MMA type shadowboxing dojos in the middle of the free weight area seem to be the big thing now.
Sadly, I've actually seen dudes shadow box "spar" in between sets

I agree but there is still a niche for serious gym goers who will pay for a good gym....
it infuriates me sometimes to train and see some of the stupidity where i train..
for instance after a heavy chest session free weights, 1 out of 6 times i will want to finish with cable crossovers., only to go there and see a 140lb young man and ask how many sets left to get an answer of 18 sets.... when this guy probably couldnt do 20 press ups... you have to laugh and walk away. people like this should go to fitness gyms...IMO london has a serious shortage of proper gyms with proper cliental ... back in the day amoron like that wouldnt walk into a hardcore gym...
:-\
-
muscleworks gym in london is like that.
go there if you pass by some day.
very good atmosphere.
correct my memory that is in bethnal green right?
-
yes, pretty near the tube station.
from the bethnal green station, walk towards and then past the mcdonalds.
8)
ive heard good things about that gym.... too far from though...heaviest dumbell there?
-
1. The guy that sits in the leg extension machine for 6 sets with three minute breaks in between.
2. The guy that ties up the pulley doing tricep extensions while he holds a conversation during the set with his buddy. If you're not going to even try to put in some effort get out of the gym.
3. The delusional guy who puts 900lbs on the leg press machine and does little knee bends. He walks away leaving the plates on it.
4. When you ask a girl if you can work in and she automatically assumes you're hitting on her. She smiles a smug smile and says, no.
5. Guys who are full of unwanted training advice in the gym.
6. Delusional man who half reps everything with the biggest weights. He really thinks he's strong. Couldn't lift 225lbs over head from the floor. Yet half reps 500lbs in the squat. Half reps 130lbs dumbbells in the incline press. Deadlifts in the cage so the bar can start just below his knee with 500lbs when he couldn't budge 400lbs off the ground.
7. MMA guy. Wears Affliction and Tap out shirts and shadow boxing in between sets. If you look his way he mean mugs you.
8. Hang out guy. He's in the gym every time you go but he never appears to lift anything. Every 10 minutes you might see him do something. Just weird.
9. Smelly guy. Sometimes he's the same guy that runs to spot you in the bench with his balls over your head. Bud, go away, I would rather get pinned with the weight.
10. Personal trainer type guys telling hot girls what to do when they didn't ask for any help. Guy, she is of your league.
so tre so true
great post
similar to number 8- the guy whjo comes to the gym to socialise and talk to everybody
i go to a gym to train not to socialise!!!
go to a bar or reastaraunt ro ae if you want to socialise
-
haha thats a good question, theres no weight declrared on them, theyre welded by hnad,haha, but theyre terrific, trust me ;D
i have there seen a guy who i was laughing at first sight, called him ali g, bc he had this funny hat and same face.
was thin, trained with much motivation and drive, though, and some 3 months of anadrol and some test later, ran into him again, he dwarfed and outleaned me, i coulndt believe my eyes ;D
the spirit in there is really something else. 8)
where i train here , this started out as "hardcore" gym back in the day, but by now it turned into a small gym chain and focusses more on dancing and such bs zumba(i think thats the name) dances, its sad, but i guess pure economic calculation from the owner. :-[
atleast they left the old equipment in there, its now just surrounded by many cardio machines, a boxing ring and halls for dance courses.
one positive about these courses is,haha, i joined some and learned some cool dance moves, its ok cardio and theres all the hot girls in them ;D
gyms become more and more social chit chat places, which is ok, chatting a bit, but damn, everyone on phone while training is too much.
makes me think whether they have appointment with obama or why are they on the phone in gym, cant be that importnat.
I saw a video of a english pro training in there.... huge guy dreads, cedric something ... big arms well triceps... he was inclining 145, and he was having serious difficulty doing so :-\, what would you estimate the heaviest dumbells to be. Thats how i measure how hardcore a gym is.
I think the gym situation in london is unfair to the hardcore or serious trainer, 10 - 15yrs back much better now....most gyms are just filled with annoying people... who have no idea how totrain orwhat gym ettiquette is.
i started out pressups , dips, upside down pressups in my room, once i mastered that aleisure centre gym, mastered that then hardcore gym , now you hve guys who cannot even do 20 pressups training in hardcore gyms.... just in there to fuck around and socialise....

Been smashing out chins lately! Got away from them for awhile now I don't feel like its a real back workout without them. You hang any weight from your waist Mes?

I never ever work back and not do chins....
yes i use weights
i never usually went beyond a plate but ive started to use more weight, most ive used is two 45 lb plates ...
I always laugh atthe idea of big guys not being able to chin, one should always be able to handle their bodyweight
-
i think something like 180lbs, im not sure,though.
def 145 arent the biggest there.
here is the clip, this is the gym right....

guys who insist on walking to the water fountain for a drink after each and every set, for the main purpose of looking at themselves in the mirror the entire way as they walk by.
guys who spit in the water fountain
guys who don't rinse the sinks properly after shaving in the gym
guys who don't properly dry themselves after taking a shower, and drip water everywhere in the change room.
-
in most gyms they are full of chest arms and ab guys, monday chest, tuesday chest, wednesday chest, thursday abs, friday chest and arms

i hate guys who come and preach me about being natural

My favorite in my present gym is the concentration camp skinny arab who does "side laterals" with 70 pounds dumbbells. With max momentum he is able to bring the dumbells about 20 cm away from his waist. He also does something similar on dumbell curls.

I used to workout at a boxing gym. They trained boxers and had a real nice gym there. I didn't do the boxing but lifted there. best gym ever. Everyone was cool. I learned a lot. I moved and went to an LA Fitness. Fuck sakes man. I couldn't take more of 6 months of the idiots. I took a few thousand from savings and bought a rack, pull down, dumbells up to 120 and started with that. Every year I buy one piece of equipment. I have cable crossovers now, a leg press sled, dip and pullup rack, two benches. I always check craigslist for people selling things cheap. Best way to go.

home gym is ideal if you have the space for it (big house)
And the same work ethic as in a commercial gym

2 douche bags at my gym have been annoying me lately.
DB 1 supersets on 3+ machines.
DB 1 works out in the world's stringiest tank top to show off his upper body. Which is great, because that is all he works out.
DB 1 and 2 like to flex in the mirror between every set.
DB 2 grunts like he is taking the worlds biggest shit on every rep then slam the weight down.
DB 2 thinks he is intimidating
DB 2 will see you start using a machine, then during your first set, walk up to you with a shit face, and ask if your on your last set. Tell him no, that you got 4 sets left :D, but he can work in. Then he walks away all pisssed,butthurt and defeated. ::)

x2. I got a 65lb cambered bar, 56lb heavy duty hex bar, power rack, and a set of 100s and 110lb dbs off craigslist for a fraction of the cost.

mp3 player and avoid looking at any person will solve a lot of this frustration
(anti social?) (let's be honest, what's the point of talking to people you dont care about)
-
there this arab type permabulker who always shakes everybody's hand when he walks in, he doesnt know your name and you dont know his, he doesnt like you and you dont like him, still he keeps doing this
it's pretty odd
culture?
-
Saw some asshole last night on his cell phone while on the hack squat machine. Phone as wedged between the pad and his ear.

Cool shirt, but it's a bit "look at me being a hardcore guy"

Saw some asshole last night on his cell phone while on the hack squat machine. Phone as wedged between the pad and his ear.
SMFH
Saw some similar shit a couple months back. Kid next to me is doing calf raise on the legpress and calls his girl, I assume. "Oh, what you doing? Me, nothing just working out." I dont even bring my phone in the gym nevermind talk on it. Big shocker, the kid was a massive 150lbs

1. The guy that sits in the leg extension machine for 6 sets with three minute breaks in between.
2. The guy that ties up the pulley doing tricep extensions while he holds a conversation during the set with his buddy. If you're not going to even try to put in some effort get out of the gym.
3. The delusional guy who puts 900lbs on the leg press machine and does little knee bends. He walks away leaving the plates on it.
4. When you ask a girl if you can work in and she automatically assumes you're hitting on her. She smiles a smug smile and says, no.
5. Guys who are full of unwanted training advice in the gym.
6. Delusional man who half reps everything with the biggest weights. He really thinks he's strong. Couldn't lift 225lbs over head from the floor. Yet half reps 500lbs in the squat. Half reps 130lbs dumbbells in the incline press. Deadlifts in the cage so the bar can start just below his knee with 500lbs when he couldn't budge 400lbs off the ground.
7. MMA guy. Wears Affliction and Tap out shirts and shadow boxing in between sets. If you look his way he mean mugs you.
8. Hang out guy. He's in the gym every time you go but he never appears to lift anything. Every 10 minutes you might see him do something. Just weird.
9. Smelly guy. Sometimes he's the same guy that runs to spot you in the bench with his balls over your head. Bud, go away, I would rather get pinned with the weight.
10. Personal trainer type guys telling hot girls what to do when they didn't ask for any help. Guy, she is of your league.
That's a great list, you nailed the top 10 annoying stuff seen in the gym. I am probably guilty of the first one though, I like to do about 6 sets on the leg extension and have a couple of minute rest in between. But if anyone ever wanted to work in I would be more than happy. Mind you, I workout at a small gym and go when it isn't busy.
The other issue I have with the leg extension we have at out gym is that if you use poor form and slam the weight stack down, depending on the set up, sometimes the cable can jump off the pulley and it can't be used until someone physically places the cable back on the pulleys. The problem is, most of the young guys are too dumb to work out how the leg extension even works mechanically, so they just slam the weight down, the cable jumps of the pulley, they have a quick look at it, realise the leg extension is out of order now, and just walk of. Don't even tell anyone just walk the fuck of. I mean WTF, it takes 20 seconds to fix the fucking thing, you broke it, you fix it. Young blokes these days don't have a clue!
The other thing that really pisses me of is sweaty guy leaving equipment drenched in sweat after he has finished with it and just walks away. How fucking hard is it too carry a towel and wipe that fucker over when you are done.

How about the 50 something skinny idiot who sits at the seated machine press w his legs crossed reading a book?

I dont even bring my phone in the gym nevermind talk on it.

What's up with the dudes wearing the baggy '80s style workout pants? They look like they've been wearing the same pair for 30 years, too.
Or, the guys with the skin tight pants . . .
-
I always get a kick out of the guys with over sized, well developed arms and everything else looks COMPLETELY untrained. It just looks fucking weird.
There's a guy at my gym with a well developed chest, and skinny-ass arms - how the !@#$ does that happen? Looks ridiculous . . .
-
the worst was this guy who would stand on the bench. He wouldn't use the free bench but instead the bench press bench. Stand on it and do rows. So he's standing on a bench doing bent over rows. The worst is he starts yelling real fucking loud "OOOOOOOOOOhhhh, AHHHHHHH, OOOOOOOHH" it was so fucking annoying.
-
I go do Golds downtown LA and Hollywood
The one that pisses me off is the guy who does his curls directly in front of the Fixed Barbbell Rack...The one that has Curl bars ranging from 20-110..
the guy picks the bar up and stands right in front of the god damn rack...
idiot

My favorite in my present gym is the concentration camp skinny arab who does "side laterals" with 70 pounds dumbbells. With max momentum he is able to bring the dumbells about 20 cm away from his waist. He also does something similar on dumbell curls.
NN
lol.... Max Momentum... like its a real term

I hate those (anti)socializing douches, playing mr popular with their lame jokes, cell phones and dumb chicks.

you pay too much attention to what other people doing and your a tempermental little bitch. you probably look like dogshit and most people in the gym think your a fucking loony.

correct! ;D i talk on my cell phone, text, spend 30 minutes on one machine or bench resting 5-10 mins between sets, do tons of real light weight sets that dont require much effort and then do one heavy set for a rep or three, anytime a woman comes next to me i move away from her and make it known im not interested in flirting or letting her get in my personal space, and often times when i go to the gym im wearing the same clothes i was in the past few days in the gym, and absolutely reek of balls. :) true story

Im guilty of some of these. Heres another list tho
- people who dont wipe the bench after they finish.....leaving behind sweaty head, back, and ball sweatpools.
- fat sweaty old guys wiping their asscrack at the very entrance into the lockerroom.
- polka music playing very loudly over the speakers.....yes, POLKA!
- women using 1 of the only 3 benches for their stupid cardio workout.
- gyms that are filled with cardio equipment and the free weight area is in a tiny corner.
- people loudly slurping at the water fountain...totally fucking unnecessary to make that disgusting sound.
- the guy that lugs around a giant cooler on wheels...it was filled with soda and gatorade and fucking tater chips. No shit.
- the guy wearing Five Finger toe shoes that thought you never had to wash them.
- the guy taking a hot sweaty shit and not even disguising it. He wipes his ass with a full half roll of tp and only then does he attempt a flush. The toilet clogs, leaving a congealed wad of shit and a dab of blood marinating in the bowl.
- the guy that uses his own towel to wipe down equipment before and after use...then uses said towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
- black guys beebopping to some jive that only African ears can hear.
- the guy angled just right to see a small glimpse into the womens lockerroom.
- the guy who stares at everyone more muscular then he is. When you meet his eyes, he quickly averts his gaze.
-
first i wanted to leave the health club i train for a more hardcore gym but now im happy i train there quietely without people groaning and growling around me and people acting like they are the man just because they use steroids but train like pussies.

that annoys me like the guys who insist on standing 2 ft from the db rack and doing curls......you can't get around them to get the db's you need.
-
The guy that goes to the bathroom and never washes his hands. Then his bacteria and virus infested hands are all over the equipment. Wash your fucking hands. It's a opportunity every time you take a leak to get germs off your hands.
The guy that always takes the rear treadmills so he can watch the asses of the girls in the front ones. Wait, that's me.

The finger shoes are ridiculous as are the Nike "Free" sneakers people are lifting in. No support, no protection, nothing.
Guy at the running store where I go sometmies told me those things are really not good to train in and these companies sell these things because they make ridiculous money on a product with little or no material used.

I usually wear Nike ACG boots or Timbes to lift in and Brooks Glycerine 10 or Nike Pegasus 29 to run in.
These dudes walking around in these 5 toe fucking things are ridiculous. What do they think that are accomplishing with those things? I tried on a pair once and never in a million years would i walk around a weight room with those things.
-
The one that drives me nuts is when you are using a machine and a chick asks if she can work in. You say sure and she proceeds to take the pin out and do 250 reps of just the bar, 10 minutes later you are still fucking waiting, pump is gone, muscles tight. I did my set, she tried to go again and I shooed her off telling her I am not waiting 10 more fucking minutes.

So yesterday i saw some weird shit..
Golds downtown LA.
This dude comes in with a Huskey Dog...So im guessing he has some kind of vision problem. But then he sits down at the cable preacher curl machine, and then does a set... and pulls out an iPad. So im guessin he aint blind....that was weird
Also this attn whore came in there... She was a strong 6... but in a sea of men.. a 6 is bumped up to an 8. Anyway she had on full make up and a hoodie unziped to right under her boobs that she had a bra over...no shirt...
She had on black stockings and thong as well...so basically it looked like she was walking around with a thong on.. She was trying to get attention from all the Mexicans in the building..
-
To me the fat old dudes in the locker room are annoying. These nasty fat old guys sit naked on the bench and just bullshit and take up all sorts of space.
Nasty

At the LA fitness I went to, I had to take a shit. There are something like 6 stalls, I usually use the big handicapp stall at the end so I walk down and some dude is taking a dump with the fucking door wide open. What the fuck man! Probably waiting for some gay shit. I just fucking booked it out of their and shat at home.
-
Yeah, the men's locker room is ripe with weirdos. What's with the dudes just walking around and hanging out naked watching television, checking their phone, etc. I mean take your shower, put your shit on and get the fuck out. If you've got to shave or whatever, at least cover your shit up.
-
Everyone at my gym which is why, since December, I train at 5.30am wherever possible. Had enough of puffed up 5'3 dwarfs with boils on their faces slamming weights in order to attract the attention of the few obese 'girls' sitting on the stationary bikes nursing a Coke, reading Fifty Shades of Grey.
Am I getting more cranky are people getting more fucking dumb and irritating?
^^
That describes 75% of Queens, New York... :D Where do you live, James????

True story. He had a few natl level power lifters as members and kicked them out. I asked him why and he said for leaving all those chains and bullshit laying around. Jack is the man!

How about the perma bulker who throws ridiculous weight on a bar and sits around for 10 minutes between each set and then proceeds to make all sorts of noises, fuss, etc, only to do a half ass rep or 2 of whatever lift he is doing and then sits down again for another 10 minutes?

If you look his way he mean mugs you.
Speaking of "tough" guys...
Every now and then I get an asshole or two that pretends to be "tough".
I remember a particular time when I was showering at the gym and had brought in my little, pink, water-resistant, radio and had little Richard's Tooty Fruity blasting out loud. This one jerk had a problem with me showering with the curtains wide open. He kept yelling from across the stalls and I just would tell him that if he didn't like it, he could simply keep his curtains fully closed, while not bothering to look my way.
He kept bitching at me, "Faggot this and faggot that, and homo this, bringing it back to homo that etc..". At one point, I just gave him my ass to stare at for a good 5 minutes, while singing Tooty Fruity outloud (and slowly masturbating, without gesturing too much). In the meantime, he kept bitching and yelling, saying things like, "look at this homo, fucking faggot!".
Once he was done and turned off his shower, I jerked it on overdrive and as soon as he stepped out of his cubby, I turned around and came all over his damp body.
You know what he did?
He stood there like a little faggot and had nothing to say or do.
I told him that if he were man enough, he would come over and fuck the shit out of me. Like a coward, he said he is going to report me to the gym owner. I told him that if he were to do that, I would make a big stink and tell the entire gym how I came on him and he stood there and took it like a real man.
Till this day, that man doesn't have the courage to look at me in the face.
Fucking faggot..

Awesome. He still did the sunbathing in the parking lot when I was there. It was such a GREAT gym. Nothing but serious trainers and the only female members were 90% strippers. ;D

ouch brutal humiliation story bro. maybe you embellished a bit?

i used to like this gym i train at by over the years it has really started to annoy me, you can meet the following characters there:
* the middle eastern skinny dude who has the entire under armor tight clothing set always wearing his giant tasteless golden watch and the whitest possible sneakers known to men. always spotting the perfect haircut (probably visits the barber shop on the way to the gym, on every workout)
* a wanna be "powerlifter" guy who thinks he is the shit, keeps talking how he keeps growing all the time ("yeah i added 5kg of muscle in 3 weeks, i dont need roids") who growls and screams like a complete retard on every exercise that he does, and walks around with his notebook "taking notes".
* a has been bodybuilder with fatceps that look like tumors (almost 100% sure its synthol) who drops by a few times a week for 15 minutes of curls and extensions
