The guy who fucks the rack of dumbells.
I usually walk right in front of this type, taking what I need off the rack, then stepping back @4 feet to let my other fellow members get in there.
Believe it or not, other people workout in gyms @5pm also....move away from the rack.
Usually, this type is so not self aware, this is just another area of being aloof in life.

Leaving weight on the bar when you're done is a dick move.

I see you were one of those pussies.  Stay at the health club or YWCA it fits you and the others who complain.

Maybe you wouldn't be so morbidly obese right now if you expended a few calories putting your weights back back in the glory days of 1985.

x2

these are the reasons i left public gyms and now workout at home.

What exercises is one able to perform in a cardboard box?  Are bum-squats a staple of your leg routine?

horrible comeback. I figured someone like you whose claim to fame is typing on an internet forum board could come up with something more witty.  And I put the weight on.  I can't help it that you use the pre-loaded barbell on a flat bench when you train and the little pink and blue dumbbells.  Maybe you would be a little bigger than the 150 you are today if you actually lifted some weight.  Just saying.  By the way my glory days lasted about 12 years.  Sorry to burst your bubble

Honestly bro I think everyone is in agreement, you put the weights on you take them off. Are you special because you were benching with 500 or something? The small guy weighing 220 should have felt privileged to unload your bench right?  ::) ::)

Any jacked guy who removes the plates super slowly.  As if it's just too hard to move all that muscle.

One of my big pet peeves IS people who don't put the weights back.
Especially if you are a strong guy.  It is called gym etiquette.

Actually I always put my weights back except the bench.  Why?  I have no idea.  I sometimes do but most of the time don't on the bench.  I always put the dumbbells back and bars and shit.

A guy who weighs less than a buck 20 who looks like he can't even do 10 pressups, No visible pec development at all... holding up the gyms one cable station doing cable crossovers. You ask him how many "sets" he has left he says 6
 :-\

1) super sets with more than 3 machines

2) using the medicne ball in the squat rack

3) DUMBELL curling in the power rack

4) taking 3+mins in between sets when you look 170lbs wet

6 sets, has a lot of nerve, good thing you can improvise and use dumbells, i never have a strict training program, its always a surprise what exersize i will do as i step in the gym

And thats probably why you look like garbage. Im pissed today.

Haha that's pretty bad.  Mine is people doing super-sets.  This douche the other day was super-setting leg extensions, pullups, and incline bench (wtf) and at the same time using the hamstring curl machine to hold his sweatshirt ::)
Mine is, people who either don't realize one is supersetting tris and bis and go and take the tricept attachment, while you are doing a bicep exercise, or use the area for another exercise...either they think that you are not using it, or they don't know what you are soing, or they are dicks...I think the former rather than the latter (because he was a outta shape 'tard)

If I have 3 wheels a side on the bench I will unload to 1 a side. Most people will use one a side and it is easier for them rather than looking for weights.

@per se yeah I head that small Asian dude forgot his name is gonna make it into a proper gym if he does I'd go there.


@goudy I know exactly what your talking about I've walked into my gym and seen 3 or two plates left on one side of the bar. I've also seen someone bounce the empty side of the bar and if course the who thing tipped over.



Another peeve is people who bench without collars a plate fell off about two feet from me the other day from a guy benching. The damn fool just put the plate back on and was about to carry in benching.  I just looked at him and asked " if you had let that hit me do you think you could tell me sorry and that would be  it

3) DUMBELL curling in the power rack


worst behavior ever, inexcusable.

8 sets of the bar and several nickles and dimes....

Usually I ask the retard doing this if they are actually planning on training legs in the squat rack, if not perhaps they could
get the fuck out of there.

High school/college kids who leave DBs all over the floor at the last minute, saying, "they're too many to pick up"... Typically on a Friday night...come in Sat morning, DBs all over the floor.
