It's a university gym so all the cumdumpster freshman girls come in chat it up. I love that part. The part that's annoying is the gangbang that forms around them. 5-15 middle eastern guys all circled around them chatting it up with their weak game. It's always in the center of the gym by the preloaded barbells and you have to walk around the lingering date rape scenario just to get to your next station/bench/rack/whatever.

LOL True true

I can't stand it when people pay attention to what I'm doing rather than worrying about their own workout. It's annoying as hell.

Or people that care what we say just because we are obseervent. Do you have friggin blinders onto the world in the gym? You can't honestly say you have never noticed some knucklehead in the gym doing stupid shit. Get over yourself.

Of course I notice people doing stupid shit. There is no reason for someone to go to the gym for THEIR workout and spend half their time worrying about what the hell I'm doing. It's flat out rude. If they'd concentrate as much on their own workout as they do mine they might actually achieve some of their goals.

Say it!

I'll drop the weights on 5 rep sets. Come on guys..its fookin heavy. Toss the weight down, stand up feel the rush of adrenaline, test and endorphins....growl like a wild animal. I love it! Its one of the best reasons to lift heavy. Shit there's enough time in the week when you have to kiss ass to bosses and customers and be nice to in laws. When I get under the iron and really push heavy weight, its for me. A chance to recapture a time when man had to go out and take what he needed to live!

And Im not going to tear a rotator cuff trying to control a weight to the ground when I just burned everything out with forced negatives. IF they break, they break..thats what gym profits are for..and if it makes others unconfortable, thats their problem...their insecurity.

WTF!??? If they break they break? You seem like a true assclown, my friend. Other people use your dumbells. Hell, your the type of person that breaks dumbells that I use. There are other people around that use them for the same reason you do... so your gonna toss them down to get your "rush of endorphins"

phhhhhtt... godDAMN your an idiot. You don't own the damn gym, chimp. Show some "fookin" respect.

I hate it when me, only 165 lbs, trying to get my fifth rep benching 225, when some big 230 lb guy comes over, spots me, and grabs my barbell, and blasts out 10 reps of curls with it. Then shouts out "225 FOR 4 1/2 REPS!!! WHAT A BEAST". Then my girlfriend smiles and winks at him, while pointing at her cell phone. GOD I HATE THAT.

Sometimes when your pushing some heavy iron (over 100) the last thing you are thinking about is a controlled descent when you are done.

I'm not endorsing slamming them like a retard like Ronnie does, but a controlled drop is okay.

Yeah I agree, was talking to some people about it yesterday while dong DB chest presses. Almost all weights above 70 have slightly bent handles and it makes it had to press them. I drop the weight on heavier sets for me but I am doing 80-100lbs for 8-15 reps, I am sure to make the drop slow and controlled while having them his square with the floor. I almost got pissed as shit though cause later in my workout while doing DB shoulder presses this beast (who is known for his grunting hardcore 50-60lbs DB chest presses while blasting hardcore rock on his I-Pod) is right next to me and drops his 60lb DB's from shoulder height and they bounce all over with one coming within less then 6 inches of flipping onto my foot which happened to be just off the floor.

i hate it when i'm just tring to get my workout on and get out and the wannabes try to get your approval ie... first they give u the brotherhood nod like their in your class...as if! then start off by talking about how hard they train, how much they lift..one guy told me how much he lifted in school while playing football....he was in his 40's!!!another tells me he can squat the same weight i am so i look at his chicken legs and ask..."you go all the way down with that"? he says no only halfway...so i said why would you waste your time doing that.other day a guy...67yoa wife beater tshirt and running shorts starts telling me of his training philosophy..train hard or go home as he was stacking the leg press with 6 plates each side...then does his 4 inch reps! was i supposed to tell him how impressed i am? am i ranting? sorry. do stupid people know their stupid? handicapped people know their handicapped right? blind people know their blind.

don't try to explain it to "sinbad", dingle, he's too hardcore, he doesn't want to be interupted in the middle of his massive set of flat dumbbell presses with the 60's for 5, when he puts on his Everlast sweatshirt, Otomix, headband and backwards House of Pain ballcap he's all business.

lol....Sinbad, Lord of the gym

I hate people that bring in their cells and then have to make a call during their workout. I just want to smash that phone over their little skulls.

Here are my pet peeves:
1. Guys who join a gym and do nothing but push-ups sit-ups and chin-ups. Even with all the vast up to date equipment and an array of dumbbells these clowns are clueless.

2. Guys on cell phones. Your there to train, don't be a pussy. Train and go home. Whatever it is can wait till your 1hr of training is done.

3. Guys that shadow box. They need to realize that THEIR IN THE WRONG FUCKING GYM. There are plenty of martial arts dojo's and boxing academy's to accomadate them. They can't press a pair of 80lb dumbbells let alone 120's or 140's if there life depended on it. Translation: i'm weak as shit and jealous of everyone else's progress in the gym but hey everyone look at me, i'm a tough guy cause I can throw hooks and uppercuts".

4. People who train on balls. They roll around on balls like a bunch of retards usually with some loser know-it-all trainer and they can't seem to figure out why they can't get any progress.

5. Personal trainers that why 160lbs soaking wet telling other people how to train. Enough said.

6. People who can't put their dumbbells away or strip the weights off the machine when they are done. Nothing makes me more sick then when a chick has to take 20 45lb plates off a leg press that some clown did his 1/4 inch reps with.

7. Guys who won't let you work in between sets. I've had pro's like Henderson Thorne and Paul Dillet let me work in on a machine and some 160lb kid is telling me that he has 4 sets to go? Ya...like thats gonna stand.

8. People who do their entire workout on a smith machine. If your training chest, pick a flat or and incline and move on so others can use it. But to do all you flat, incline and decline? Ludacris.

9. People that ask to work in, you let them, and they strip all your plates off. If you can't push it, move out of the way and wait you're turn.
10. People that take over your bench while your getting a drink of water or grabbing your weights. Where is the ettiquitte? Knowone heard of asking?

Those are my pet peeves, keep on pushing guys.

PB

3. Guys that shadow box. They need to realize that THEIR IN THE WRONG FUCKING GYM.

You just reminded me...
My buddy (the gym owner) told me that about a week ago he had to have a "talk" with one member.

The kid usually comes in wearing his hoodie with the hood pulled down far over top his head and walks into the gym like a boxer walking to the ring.

He always shadow boxes for a while off in some corner, but the other week, the stupid prick started punching the equipment.
He's using the pec-deck like it's a heavy bag!

The owner tells the kid if he breaks a machine he'd be paying for a new one.
The kid said, "No problem. I'll buy ya a new one." (I don't think he was sarcastic, just stupid.)
When the owner showed him how much a new PD costs, the kid wised up and agreed no to box the equipment anymore.

If you WERE being sarcastic, then my bad. But you made it hard to tell, since there have been so many other posters say almost the same thing. And by the way, I am married, its my computer, my parents have been together for 30 years and still love each other (which is a blessing considering some families), and "assclown" has been thrown all over this forum. Monster pathetic attempt at owning.

THIS ONE MOTHER FUCKER THAT JUMP ROPES IN THE FREE WEIGHT ROOM!

never fails!!! this kid is ALWAYS jump roping in the cage when it's peak hours and there's wall to wall people. He blocks surrounding machines and bitches at people that "he was here first" while inhibiting other work outs. The first few times I thought it was cute, the next few times I walked right by him and go in the machine and started working. They have a dance/class room, open mat and warmup area, and open floor gymnasium for that shit!

STOP TAKING UP SPACE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT 30 SECOND SPEED ROPE HOPS!
