Thanks for all the compliments :-). You even think I'm jacked! Well, I'm not, but wouldn't that be nice. And, yes, I'm occasionally "cool" (i.e. polite) enough to put other people's weights away, if the floor trainer is a 90 pound girl and someone has left 720 on the leg press.

As far as people behaving according to their ethnic stereotype, I ain't even gonna go there. I'm a bit "ethnic" myself.

No, I'm not a trainer.

I try not to get distracted by hot ass in the gym, just get in, do my workout and leave... u want ass ? go to a club or bar.. I hate when idiots turn a gym into a social meeting place..they bring their newspapers, coffee and mingle while sitting on a machine drinking coffee.

I still cant complain when theres sweet ass to glance at now and then in between sets

1 people walking in front of me while I am do incline flys or any other DB excrise in front of the mirror

2 people looking through me while I am training

3 people leaving dumbells on benches

4 Old school music ie Roy oberson etc.
Those would be the three reasons pisses me off the most at the gym.

Unwanted advice from the fat guy who knows everything

Stories from the out of shape guy who used to be big before all his muscle "turned to fat"

Got an idea about the wannabe MMA/shadow boxers at the weight lifting gyms. When they start boxing just get up and do the same. Would be interesting.

The ass-maggots that strut around the gym.

Did someone mention people sitting around on equipment reading magazines?

I hate that. Why can't they go to a cafe to read, why must they block some machine or bench?

Does that stop your workout?

Not me. I kick them off with no hesitation or remorse!

But it is annoying.

Gotta get my top ten list in:
1) The token conversation going on directly in front of the water fountain acting
like it's a family reunion.
2) Crap music cranked.
3) Dumbells or weights not put away.
4) Towel/water bottle left behind at bench/machine known as the "RESERVED"
sign for the circuit training idiots.
5) Stability balls getting in the way of everything.
6) Heavy weights being used in conjunction with half reps.
7) People that want to talk with you while you are wearing your headphones.

UFC shirts, armband tats, and ballcaps on sideways.
9) Waiting at the front desk to be scanned in because employee is on the
phone or internet.
10) Seasonal members and newbies.

people staring at me........constantly asking me for advice and looking for my approval........hot chicks running up to me asking if they can help me unload the many plates that i'm using before i've finished my 25 sets.......mma wannabes trying to get me to roll with them between sets........bb amatuers trying to pick my brain on dieting tips in the middle of a grueling 4 hour workout........people constantly approaching me on the stairmaster interupting my 2 hour cardio session........i currently train at 10 Golds and it's the same at every single one of them.........leave me the fuck alone

I hate people that smell/stink really really bad. There is this one guy in the gym who smells like a 3 day old wet ash trey. Indians who reek really bad like Curry. Guys that have BO in the winter. When they all walk around the gym they crop dust the whole area. It reeks and lingers for ever.
I also hate the people that came in packs and walk around in a group and talk like its a social club. If you want to talk go to a bar. Don't stand there and hold everybody else up. I get in, work out and leave.

Who gives a shit!? The money isn't coming out of your pocket for these trainers. And no, I'm not a trainer.
