women train too, strip your fucking weights for them. what the fuck? if you are man enough to put the weights on .........

why would a man un load his plates it's like a man doing his own laundry

[King Shizzo]

I dont know what gyms you guys frequent but I have never seen someone just go around from station to station un-racking peoples weights all day.  I think its because 90% of the people do the right thing and put the weights back after they are done.

[The.Giant]

leave it on.

If you can't lift 135's this may help motivate you to do so.

[mame09]

it depends on the gym you train at.

when you see a gym with plates and dumbells not in their correct place you do the same

if your in a gym which has plates in their correct places you do the same.

its all about how the gym flows

I've trained at balleys and golds for over a decade. Their employees are so fu*king lazy. Fu*k the plates you're lucky to find paper towels or toilet paper. Half the time they aren't even at the front counter. Shitty attitudes as well.

[Dreadlifter]

If you're strong enough to load it and lift it, you're strong enough to unload it and put the plates back. Same with dumbells.

I train towards the end of my gym's opening hours and depending on whose been in the clutter is a damn disgrace.
Last Friday there were a couple o other guys in, dumbells left all over the place and big pools of sweat on the head of the benches.

That's my top two hates, people who don't put weights back and people who don't take a damn towel to the gym.

I'm gonna use this rage to bang out some upright rows later.

This.

If the owner himself doesnt care, why should I?

[Palpatine Q]

You'd be surprised how obedient people are when they are told to do something by a stranger.


Que all the tough guys now about how they would ignore and walk away.....

You have a point...people will.listen, especially when they are in the wrong.

The other day I walk in and there are three firefighters using all three flat benches training chest...because they couldn't be bothered changing weights for each guys strength .

So I just walked up to them and said they need to figure something out here because they can't be monopolizing all of the equipment ....they gave up a bench without a word. Not because I'm a "badass" because they knew it was fucked up.

I find that the people who get shit on are the ones who are petrified to open their mouth and do something about it

So you're a sheep who just does what everyone else does. Nice life.

So you have no personal sense of honour or dignity? You wait for others to pave the way for a semblance of respectablility and accountability? You're a useless and embarrassing fuck.

wow some people take 45's on each side pretty serious...seriously people wheres your honor and dignity!have u no morals!

[oakman]

good enough for re-racking your weights?

not if you expect get biggers to be able to use it after you

[HTexan]

good enough for re-racking your weights?

no, women workout there too.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Worst pet peeve is the asshats who don't back away from the dumbbell rack when grabbing a dumbbell. These mofo's think everyone should wait till their done curling or shrugging before anyone can reach for a dumbbell. What a fucking joke.

People tend to know they are doing something wrong or maybe half assed and if they are asked to finish unracking the bar, they always do. I've never appraoched someone and acted like an ass about it, usually just a "hey man, you gonna finish taking those plates off?" will do the trick.

Yeah, I always see alot of people crowding down around the small end of the DB rack.

[lightweight]

I leave 1 45 on each side on some things but I agree it's just being lazy.. but seriously on some things if you can't do at least one plate on the exercise then you're a little bitch and reracking the 45 will do you some good.. for the people with at least normal strength leaving the plate on there is doing them a courtesy.

[chess315]

how bout if you leave 135  in like 4 10s and 5 on each side? In the squat rack after doing your curls

lol

[CalvinH]

I usually leave whats on the bar when I use it but if there is more then one plate I take it off.



.....if I see a hot chick I load up the bar of what I think she's gonna do next.then when she gets to the machine I look like a good guy and help her unrack

[Nails]

im one of the few who actually like re-racking my weights back... but its so fucking annoying seeming these lazy fucks not rack the weights back at ballys gym where i work out at.. but i find it that if i go to white areas like Manhattan Beach or Santa Monica or burbank the weights are usually re-racked, but fuck finding a pair in Inglewood, hawthorne or downy... spics and nuggas dont feel like they need to rerack..

Once saw a little mexican shit head with 8 plates on each side of the leg press finish his set and waking away from the press even after a small lady had waited around for him to finish ... i felt so bad i told her i would help her unload it

Its usually dumbbell shrugs 100 on up or kids curling 50-60 # dumbells(way to heavy for them) when your trying to grab some weight for laterial raises.

Once saw some dumb shit, roll his foam sit up mat next to the 80-120lb dumbell rack and proceeded to do some crunches, keep in mind there is a section in the gym for sit-ups.. i should have gone over and stepped over him and dropped one on his head

[Ursus]

I totally stripped 135 off the bar after shoulder pressing earlier but only because the blind guy was in.

They shouldn't let him in straight from the pub like that.  That's how accidents happen.
