I get annoyed when people just stand or sit there and talk... for hours... like homos!

I really hate that......your trying to do a superset or start your new excercise and your not sure if they are on it cuz they 're talking or talking and blocking your way!

I had a dude ask me to spot him on a bench press lift of 405. The best part was this dude asks these 2 other guys to stand by on each side in case of any problems. I should have realized this was a BAD idea to even be a part of this crap. Well lets just say that I should have but a belt on since that was the heaviest row I ever did in my life! I should have kick that dudes ass for that shit!
PS- I bet his chest hurt pretty good from the bar dropping into his chest that hard! LOL

2. Slam the plates on the bar to get attention like; "Hey, look at me, I'm strong" !

My biggest pet peeve of all time

It is hard to find a competent spotter who knows what they're doing. A spotter should always have the the strength to take over if there something goes wrong.

thats my point guys! Who the HELL though I needed to be able to do a 200lb row of the 405lbs bench? You ask someone to spot you to ASSIST you- not for them to chalk up, but a belt on, and do the lift! The dude should never have been doing that much weight. But he looked real bad a$$ with the 405 on the bar.

It's called "common sense", Piscit....

If you don't think you could lift the weight if he lost it, then you shouldn't have spotted him. Simple as that. I don't he would ask you to spot him if he didn't think he had a realistic chance of lifting it. That means either you spot him or decline.

You should have declined.

Its a coin toss between the Rack Molester( the guy training 2 inches from the rack and in everyones way) And Mr. Consistency, the guy who shows up every day, in the way, always there, day after day, actually year after year.......The crazy thing is, it looks like hes never lifted a weight in his whole life.. You would never guess in a million years he works out, yikes! and every gym has about 25 guys just like that.

mesmorph78 · « **Reply #64 on:** March 25, 2006, 08:15:53 AM »

people who spend a hour on one particular piece of equipment...
these are the same people. who ask.. how do u get ur arms like that or chest or back etc etc.. you tell them heavy free weight movements...aka known as movents that are hard so people dont do them ie deadlifts... rows... freewieght curls. yet next workout.. they go straight back to doin silly things they have seen in magazines like... lying cable curls.... not realising that those movements are isolation and shaping movements.. and that you actually have to build the mass before incorporating these movements... to shape the mass..

Um, no. The spotter is there to add assistance in case you get stuck.

The gay ass guy that goes to the gym, spends 30 minutes to stretch out his hamstrings as though he were going work out legs, and then works out his chest.

I saw what I assumed to be a 20-year old, 180 pound powerlifter, shopping at Best Buy today. He was wearing an extremely short Inzer singlet, white t-shirt underneath, and converse tennis shoes. Browsing through the rap CDs.

Are you implying that it might have been you at Best Buy? You seem awfully defensive.
