-People who steal your weights, be it barbell or dumbell when you're bussy resting.
-People who put their log books and items on a bench that they not using and refuse to move it ( I swear some ppl are alive only because its illegal to kill them).
-People who do too many sets on a piece of equipment which you are waiting to use.
I know these are not things which they do because they think its cool, but it sure fuk'n ISNT!

slamming or dropping the universal weights or free weights when the sign clearly tells you not to, and thinking they can still do it because they think they are so "bad ass"! that pisses me off to no end. i almost got into a fight cause of this the other day. the guy was such a pussy he didn't want to fight or even apologize. big pussy!   ;D

* 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. :)

What can you add?

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.

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.

Haha!  I think he's related to the guy who just keeps shouting "C'mon, c'mon" when the bar has been stuck for like 10 seconds and it's starting to list off to one side.

And don't forget the Stone Faced Warriors!

  Just to be clear,  I've been spotting my boyfriend at this on gym for over a year now.  However, whenever, I'm spotting my bf when he's doing 110 lbs shoulder presses with dumbells, some douche bag, usually a 140 lb punk usually runs right next to me like I can't possibly spot him and directly asks him, not me, if he needs a spot....

Women love men that takes charge. It is clear that you harbour impure thoughts about the gentleman that came over to offer your bf a spot. He is still on your mind is he not?

Are you one of these super hardcore guys?

Dude, if you walk in a room where several other people are, you say hello. I didn't ask for a handshake for everybody.

Agreed.


Just because you are at the gym does not mean you need to be a dick.

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 ...

  • Dorian never bitched, he just shut em up!
 I seriously dont give a rats ass what or who is doing, wearing etc.
However,,,,,I cant help but not notice that big, fat fuker that for the past 9 months has continually ended his training days with hanging leg raises for yes....you guessed it....his abs.

Holy crap that makes me chuckle sometimes.

The summer gotta look good for "swim suit season" crowd
The "New years resolution" crowd
I swear the two most enjoyable times in the gym are from September to December and from February to April.

i was laughing at the exact same guy last week.

he only did like 5 reps. then went on another machine. WTf seriously. Are these people lost; why would someone who didnt see his dick since decades do abs the first time he joins a gym.

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.)
