I so wish there was a guy like this in my gym

[pellius]

I don't like trouble makers but the huge number of people these days that seemingly go to the gym to talk or text or even play games on their phone is just getting out of hand. It wouldn't be so bad if they just moved on when you ask how many more sets are they going to do, but they don't. Nine times out of ten they just tell you how many more sets they have and finally start working out. In my gym, it seems that it's the chest fly/rear delt machine that everybody hogs. We use to have three but now we only have one. I've seen people (both men and women) sit on that machine for a half-hour straight spending most of the time on their phones. One guy was even reading the paper.

By far, my biggest challenge and obstacle to working out consistently is not motivation, fatigue, time, or boredom -- it's other people just taking up space and hogging equipment. It easily adds another half hour to my training time.

I miss the days when gyms were dumps and didn't have a/c, TVs, or cardio equipment
and only people who were serious about training went there.

Pellius one day while training delts,there was an older guy sitting on the seated lateral machine.

What I was doing was what I called a "Quad Set".........I would do a machine press,straight to the seated lateral machine,back to the press,then back to the lateral machine..............thi s constituted one set of which I would do 3-4 cycles with very little rest until all were completed.

One nitwit jumps on the seated lateral machine holding a clipboard while I`m pressing................ ...sits there forever so I ask him politely when he would be done.

Mind you he was just sitting,not actually using the machine.


Like I said,I was extremely polite.

This fucknuckle all of a sudden stands up and throws his clipbord across the gym and walks away in a huff.

I wanted to slap him but all I could do was laugh my ass off.

Back in the day he would have been killed !!  LOL

Could have written this myself and it was one reason I changed gyms last week. The waiting on equipment coupled with the drive time was really getting to me. I found it more with the cable stand at my old place - and often a group of three younger guys just fucking about either showing each other social media posts or replying to them en masse.

Vitaly has become rich thanks to youtube (just like Pewdiepie, Pootentat and others), so he can pick higher and has more to pick from.

I do a similar type of training. I don't like doing cardio. Treadmill, Stair Master, Stationary bike... I go crazy just staying in one place going through the motions like a robot. By doing circuit type training in which I am constantly moving from one exercise to another, or if I need to catch my breath I walk back and forth until I am ready for another set, I am able to combine anaerobic and aerobic simultaneously. I am essentially doing an hour and a half of cardio. I am not as set in my exercises as I am more concerned with just keeping the fire burning. So if the lateral machine is being used I go to the dumbbells; if that's being used, then it's cables. But even then I often run out of choices and then start trying to cut in. Even if they don't let me work in they always start doing their set. I then say, "Oh, NOW it's time for your set." Or I'll say with a smile, "I knew that would get you moving."

Again, I got this training protocol from Arthur Jones who said that you should train your muscles anaerobically while simultaneously training your body aerobically.

It seems like American capitalism offers unlimited opportunities for people from all walks of life to strike it rich, or at least be very successful. That is if you have the drive and imagination to come up with something that people want.

I read somewhere that the most successful and richest YouTuber is a seven year old boy. WTF?

America -- Fuck Yeah!

Won't mean that boy will be happy when he grows up though, but he sure has a lot more options from the get go than a cheeseburger stealer.

LOL! True.

As Woody Allen once said, "At least if you're rich you get to pick your misery."

LOL! True.

As Woody Allen once said, "At least if you're rich you get to fuck your children."

Fixed.

In Australia or Thailand gym can be located a few meters from the beach & suckers still run on treadmils   ignoring miles of soft sand   (& is for free).

The gym I go to now is on the Massachusetts border (so Lawrence MA area) and its like 80% Spanish folks.
They LOOOVE their phones more than most it seems, and have very LOUD phone calls for the entire gym to hear.
(For those who know Spanish at least). Thank god for earplugs...

[Dokey111]

It is rampant.  I want to ask these dopes "what muscle is this building?" when they are sitting there like retards with their phones.  I think you should legally be able to slap these people on the back of the neck.

[Tapeworm]

Tie a couple loops in a strap or rope and throw it over a tree branch or chin bar. Lean into it and do your flys.

Voila. No more machine needed and when you can hold your full body horizontal you can brag to everyone about your Maltese Cross. Nobody earns bragging rights on a pec dec. Bodyweight for reps is a Zanetti. I'm sure you'll master it in no time.

Ha.

My old gym in Australia was a zero tolerance place. Some goon was dropping dumbells and the owner physically threw him down the stairs and a fistful of cash as his refund followed him. Nobody stepped out of line in that place.

[Griffith]

What is up some guys dropping weights at the gym? Attention whores?

If you can't put down the dumbbells properly, they're too heavy for you.

[Virgil]

You need to join Ed Ryan's gym on the outskirts of Philly, no ac, no phones, no bullshit...an old school basement gym

This is why the 4 am gym crowd is the best.  All these losers in the vid are a freaking joke.   Bunch of pansies and gay as F "bodybuilders"

1 X in Chatswood (North Shore/Sydney) Space gym (now Fitness 1st) building manager threaten to close gym because of continuous sounds of dropping weights , gym manageress was purple faced  I think JB Hi Fi shop was under gym.

a little while ago I wanted to use an ab machine and one of the instructors was sitting against it while supervising a customer.  I walked up and said "hey let me use your seat there" meaning get off it so I can use it.  He got all offended and got smart mouthy.  I just ignored him and went about my business.
