A good spotter does both......

I'm not sure how heavy you lift, Brian......but when you go up high to a certain point, there isn't much of a buffer between "getting suck" and "losing the weight".

Lift heavier and you'll see what I mean.

I wish I could be as brutally strong as you.

Fuck, that's priceless.
I almost chocked on a piece of sandwich while laughing my ass off.

It looks like that photo was taken the exact moment the other guy penetrated him.

We'v got these young guys who train in group of about 5,who monopolies the bench press. I dont do flat BB bench so it dont bother me,but theres one big guy whos always in when thoughs kids are and he was telling me he hasnt dun BB bench for about 3 months b/c there alwasy on it (though hes prefering DB no anyway).
The 5 of them go and do 5 sets of 5 each, thats 25 sets getting dun and there not right after each other, it takes a minute for 2 of them to do 5 reps. Kinda funny but must be annoying for other folk.

Sleeveless under-armour on guys with skinny arms, there is no place in the gym for that, fat guys that think they are big, and then flex when they are done, the guy getting ready for a show, with the gut hanging over his shorts, people that wreak of cigarette smoke, that is terrible.

REMEMBER YOU CAN'T FLEX FAT!

Form Police

There is this skinny dude at my gym that actually walks up to people and tells them their form is off and that he uses perfect form. this guy is about 175 pounds and always wears underarmour shirts and the latest Nikes. i was doing overhead DB presses next to him one day and after a set he looks at me and shakes his head in disgust. he continues to tell me that i'm not using good form and that you can't build "good quality" muscle unless you use perfect form. i was in a good mood so i asked him to show me kinda as a joke. so he grabs 55 pounders and does 15 really slow reps but he did use good form. i kinda laughed and said "no dude, show me using MY DB's"...he looks at me and says "heavy weights have nothing to do with body building, if you keep it up you will never get big"...i said sure buddy and grabbed the 95's for another set of 10...what a joker, this dude must be mental.

I think you should beat him with a barbell, just enough for him to leave the gym and never come back.
Don't kill him, just break some ribs or a shoulder/arm.

Im dead serious, these people aren't "funny", they are asking you to punish em for being hopeless.Give em what they want for the love of god.

I'd really like to do that actually...

The guy is as serious as a heart attack. never smiles, always very serious. looks like a high school basketball player, cut but not much muscle at all and weak as hell.

I'm suprised he hasn't been punched yet...he talks to you like he's god and your some little kid just getting into lifting. most of the big guys at my gym are powerlifters. they call him "The American Bodybuilder" as a joke because he's a stick figure with imaginary lat syndrom and always wears skin tight clothes and he like to flex in front of the mirrors.

In the gym I mostly hate everyone, however guys who piss their time away on perfectly good equipment while they shoot the shit with their "boys" and then do a half-assed pussy-assed set at a time when I was hoping to use that same equipment really gets my blood boiling. I used to go up to them and ask them the classic "how many more sets"? But now I realize it's a waste of time since even if it's just one more set it will be at least half an hour before they actually perform that set. Now I just do something else and mumble obscenties to myself while I walk away. I'd just love to blow a nice sized hole in each one with a 12 gauge shotty and drag their bodies away from the equipment so I could continue my workout without further interruptions.

i agree here. I normally give a few minutes after I ask then I'll say something like "this isn't your mother's garage....do your set or move." that usually gets their attention. But you have to be big to say something like that or it doesn't work.

1.)Well built but short body builders who think there fucking amazing! (Your always be short asshole!)
2.)Loud mouthy fucks mostly always black males and wiggers!
3.)Poker faced kids under 23 who think there fucking fulltime gangsters becasue they lift
4.)Any asshole with an attitude
5.)Off duty policemen, baillifs, bouncers and other societal authoratarian vermin who lift due to innnate questions of inferiority and insecurity.
6.)Guys or groups of guys who monopolise one machine/bench etc etc for longer than 15 minutes.
7.)Stupid hoes who give you a dirty look while they are doing there cardio becasue you happened to glance there way and they think you were eyeballing them.
8.)Lucky genetic freaks who dont have a clue what to eat or how to lift yet look better than most guys who have put 2 years into lifting/eating right.
9.)The fucking wankers who choose the gyms music tapes and put on r&b or some sort of fucking regge! (Does no one like Thrash Metal in the U.K!!!!)
10.)Any type of "casual" lifter who wants to "get a six pack" and "doesent want to get too big"
11.)In fact everyone in my gym JUST f**k off out so I can train alone!

i HATE the 17 yr old high school kid that comes in in jeans, boots and a hat and lifts the 25lb dumbells, then answers his cell between sets talking about G this, bitch said that and guy sheit.
That's why they have high school gyms, why don't they go there.

You get that too, My local gym has my old highschool attached to it, so the new high schoolers come in when i do around 8pm and fuck they small piece of cattle. It is funny seeing their stare at you when your sitting, loading weight and lifting it. Makes me feel weird. All those eyes on me. $:-\$

When there are more than 5 people in the gym it bugs me! I train at odd hours to minimize human contact

ONLY way to grow baba. only way ! mornings 4am-5am or 45 min before closing. rest of the time is for whores to come and get their weekend fuck buddy or for the local gym rats to come and show off whatever muscle they got on them for that same exact reason.

I'm in Tempe and it is pretty bad, but it could be alot worse. The crowd is different I imagine, considering the area and the amount of high school kids that work out there. I am not totally against LA Fitness, I just think that I would fit better at a hardcore gym but like Metroflex but there are not many of those around. i get good workouts if I go at the right time. Usually toward the end of the week the crowd dwindles, so workouts get better as the week goes on.

We live in the suburbs, it's different out here. Whether it's Mesa, Tempe, Chandler....you deal with the same crowds. I would like a more hardcore gym, but it's a matter of convenience. There's either Golds or LA Fitness. That's it.

It depends on the management as to how good the gym is. Don't let the housewives, highschool kids and summer cutter abs crowds get to you. Do your workout.....

[quote ]Side note since some of you guys mentioned L.A. Fitness.... that has to be the worst commercial gym to train in, the whole place makes me feel uncomfortable I can't relax in that place and train hard without feeling like im being watched or that im training too hard for that type of crowd[/quote]

Mu-Mu, that's only because you're so sensitive.

Bring your chalk, your straps and lift. Stop worrying about who's watching and why. Let those other kids stare. It won't affect you if you don't let it.

I told you before, reading that Ayn Rand bullshit has made you in to a woman.
