I'm not usually the type of guy to moan about other lifters at the gym, but last night one of the staff at my gym really got me pissed.
I was just doing bi's and pull ups last night, so I started with a few sets of concentration curls, while my training partner was doing olympic bar curls (I'm resting from those for a month until my tendons heal up a bit) and we then move on to seated supernated DB curls.
So this week I decide to put the weight up as I had been doing 3 x 8 with the 62 lbers (with strict form and no swinging) for the last two weeks. I picked up the 66 pounders and done 8 reps (2 slightly assisted) for 3 sets. My friend also done 3 sets using the 72 pounders and got an east 10 reps each set.
So while i'm sitting there I notice one of the staff members (who is around 5ft 3" and although he's got some good size, his physique is not desirable to say the least.) looking over at us concentrating on every rep, and when we finish I say hi and tell him his arms are looking thick (I always try and encourage anyone in the gym as I know it helped me when I started) and he says "You need to work on your form a bit mate" ??? So I explain to him that when you start lifting heavy weights sometimes you need to do a few sets without the strictest of form for a couple of weeks, and hes like "Yeah but if you want to improve your arms you should stop using your front delts to lift the weight!" I was like WTF!!!!!!! how the hell can you use your front delts when your doing supernated curls??? I just left him to melt with jealousy as he eyed my 6ft 1" muscular frame before he went and got the step ladder for his pull ups.
Has anyone else had a member of staff be that rude?

Rule #1 for anyone working in a gym - NEVER EVER try to comment on a person's lift unless A) You look much much better then they could ever hope to look (which is almost never the case) B) Youv'e been watching the persons routines for upwards of three months (either way it's creepy). I have offered advice before but only to those who ask me/I know well or just throw in some advice and say try it sometime and see if you like it. I just know myself that I train different from week to week so there is no reason to assume what I do one week is how I train every week. I'll tell you what though sometimes I feel like chucking a dime plate at some douche bags who walk around thinking they are the know-all of BBing and dieting. It's like someone watches you do one lift and suddenly figures you must not know what your doing and you need some advice.

theres jealous turds in every gym. short fuckers seem to have the worst attitude. take a shit in his gym bag next time to teach him a lesson.

Yeah, the dick at the front counter at my Local Powerhouse was trying to talk me into signing up for another two years. With this deal I'd be saving a whole $3 a month. Whoa!!!!!!! Anyways I am not even sure I'll be here in 2 years, As I have been back and forth between FL and Columbus lately. When I rejected his deal, he looks to the girl standing next to him and says "I told you Bodybuilders are dumb".
Obviously this guy was pissed because I damaged his quota or something.
About 20 min later he showed up on the gym floor in gym clothes (all 150 lbs of him). I could see that he was coming over to the Smith Machine my partner and I were on and asked if He could work in. I politely said "No", told him as we each had a set left. He started into this whole stretching ordeal/spectacle waiting for us to finish. My parter and I just smiled/nodded. We sat on the machine and proceeded to talk about Paris Hilton's jail sentence, Imus, polictics, the new features on my Blackberry and pretty much anything else that would waste time. After about 20 minutes I looked over at him and said are you waiting for this. Here let me finish, pounded out my last set of 315 inclines and left all the weight on the machine for him to deal with. He just stood there with the biggest WTF looks on his face. As I walked past him I gave him my sweaty gym towel and said "Hey front desk guy, can you take care of this? Thanks!!!"
So yes BigC, I guess everygym has a douchebag behind the counter. It's not like the old days when BB's worked at the front desks.

Well my gym isn't that way but then again there is only 4-5 guys that work here and we all hate people like those being described. Now the other gym we are affiliated with has nothing but douche bags working there, I hate when they come to my gym to lift cause they are nothing but annoying and full of advices for everyone.

Hahahaha classic!
What about the 150 pound leviathans that come over while your doing the last set of 4 (out of 30 weighted wide pull ups) and say "Do you only do 4 reps?" maybe your not ready to do weighted?" not realising that it's the end of your back workout and you've already done 3 sets of 8
that's funny shit with the towel ;D

To be honest I would have lost it already if he would have called me stupid, I have a short temper.

Because they work at the gym doesnt mean they know everything about working out.....hell even cheating on exercises works in your favor, Arnold cheated with heavy curls and he didnt care and when I last checked he had 'good' arms......
They do that shit to girls all the time, tell them they are fucking up so that they will sign up for personal training sessions....pathetic 9.50 an hour peices of shit if you ask me...

hahahaha damn right man, the guy actually joined the gym about two years after me and started using pretty much straightaway (he's only 19 ::)) now he's a member of staff he's a walking encyclopedia
-
Good job you weren't there "big guy".
yes, I wasn't there and size has nothing to do with it.
so someone that is trying to sell you something turns the side and makes a disrespectful comment about you and you just walk away?
It would bother me a little bit that I didn't stand up for myself. Doesn't have to be anything physical but atleast address the situation then and there.

You should atleast have to take a test to prove your not retarded...
-
the way i look at it is that the gym "staff" is there to serve you, they should keep their mouths shut and cater to the customer wants, what the customer wants they should get within reason, you pay 300-400 bucks a year to belong to these places and you get attitude a lot of times from these 7 dollar an hour losers, if they don't like the job go somewhere else, i literally abuse the staff at my gym they know to stay away from me.

You can involve your front delts on dumbell curls if you allow your elbow to come too far up from your side.

What you're sayin is definately true, my training buddy said the same and is a physio
But if your elbows are at the sides and you start the movement with a strict hammer into a curl at the peak, it is virtually inpossible to isolate the front delts.
Didn't wanna embarrass the little guy at the time ;)

One time I was doing weighted chins while i was waiting for my buddy and one of the overly tanned trainers called "luke" ran over and started spotting me (without even asking ???) and instead of standing behind and just touching my shoes at the end of the rep he was trying to lift me from the front like he was doing a ballet lift on me!
-
how about those pencil necks with Imaginary Lats Syndrome walking around and asking for spots with the 135lbs on the barbell...hahaha
-
Most of these "guys" with ILS only train back on the fancy machines, no raw barbell work anymore.

Hahahaha yes Mars, and when they see us doing deads they probably say "look at those guys stuck in the ironage" and then they go and do some lat pull downs in the womens area with gloves and straps on haha

Yes but it's true, they look at you thinking what the hell is wrong with him, why not do some machines? and then they wonder why their "back" isn't as big as ours.
-

No that was before your sister became to fat to waddle into the mens showers with her pasty little cum pillows hanging out again
-
hahaha @ the squad wannabes ::)

Haha what about fat geeks who think they already own a big back!!!!!!!!! hahahaha. oh dear.

hahahaha yes!!!! those are the best, the ones that put 2 plates a side and do 3 sets of 4 "rack deads" (about 1 metre from the ground) about 200mph and shout like they are being bummed by 5 tribesmen
-
Some classic stuff in this thread and yes I can relate. When I started training in my late teens I would get the occassional gym trainer that would give unsolicited advice, but once I was lightyears ahead of all the trainers all that "advice" stopped. Today I'll get an old burnt about once a year that randomly approaches me and talks my ear off about training and how he "used to do" this or that. Other than that I'm left alone, but I'll talk to anyone.
-
you are a dumb fuck, how old are you? you let another adult speak that way to you to your face?
Ok I dumb for not having a Meltdown at the counter ::). I'm sure you would have though. 1st off If I smack him that's assault brother. Not even trying to go to jail. No need trying to argue with him cause you can't tell a 150lb Mr. Olympia anything, they already know it all.
I think I handled it just fine, but thanks for minding my business though ;).

Exactly.
Fucking little turds. No respect for anyone or anything.

Right.
There's this fucker I call "the Beast" at my gym, has the biggest case of ILS this side of Kamali, thinks he's the shit. Is using drugs, and is still a weak fucker. I love it when his little girlfriend checks me out though........not that I want her, just funny that she watches me all the while her "man" is with her.
Funny thing is, I saw him yesterday walking around with his monster calves showing, real toothpick legs. I would be ashamed to walk around showing those....but he's an upper body guy. It's funny, cause I've offered him to join me for a leg workout, but he won't dare. ;D
-
Haha what about fat geeks who think they already own a big back!!!!!!!!! hahahaha. oh dear.
It's funny you say that. Yesterday, while doing cardio I saw this "huge" ::) 40% fat monster come in, wearing a tank top, showing off his massive 17 inches of "flab" arms, and of course, sporting the mandatory barbwire armband tattoo.........LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny you say that. Yesterday, while doing cardio I saw this "huge" ::) 40% fat monster come in, wearing a tank top, showing off his massive 17 inches of "flab" arms, and of course, sporting the mandatory barbwire armband tattoo.........LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But look out, he HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I rejected his deal, he looks to the girl standing next to him and says "I told you Bodybuilders are dumb".
Either this didn't really happen or he was being sarcastic or playful. I think you should find the general manager, let him know that one of his staff insulted you and demand 3 free months of membership.

Yeah well these guys in my gym.. two indian/paki dudes fuckin fat blobs roar out as they get their crazy 6 reps with the 85-86 pound dumbells on shoulder press, i get up there and do the same thing but maybe breathe heavily.. still control the decent of the dumbell and manage to put them away, while these guys just drop them and let them bounce nito the dumbell racks and / or other people. These dudes must be 250-260lbs, at least 60-80 lbs of fat on em, at 5'10'' ish and wear fuckin work boots, if they were lifting double the weight they might be excused.. anyone else see this type of shit?

There was this big ass dude with huge arms in the gym yesterday, i never saw the c oon before...nevertheless, he was telling his 'bo' how to curl dumbbells and what not...I laughed to myself cause I saw her checking out these white guys who were ab shooting in the mirror behind him. His reply was that his gut was all 'muscle' ???

Haha, there are guys in my gym just like that, the weight dropping that is...
Anyway...my gym would have provided enough material to last on Getbig for weeks last night...
Half-rep heroes on the smith machine.
Weight belt warriors keeping their belts on for everything.
10 stone monsters struggling with 30 pound dumbbells on the incline press.
Skinny guys training arms for an hour.
Guys dropping light dumbbells thinking they are tough
Skinny fat guys with 13 inch arms giving advice on how to get big arms
Fat deluded guys wearing tank tops (oh that was me :D)

I honestly never followed a training routine out of a magazine. I took ideas from them but never did exactly what they suggested or followed a pro routine.
-
These magazines only tells us to rely on supplements, brocolli and plenty of rest instead of raw hard work and training everything twice a week with heavy weights and only eating 4 high protein meals a day. overtraining is pure bullshit.

I hear you man, never even copied the excercies myself
I was lucky because when I first started training, the guy that ran the gym was competing in NABBA and even won a show so he cut out the bullshit and got me straight on deads and squats
-
I'm sure there a plenty amino acid peptide geeks around who follow these routines at heart.

Always a good thing. The one column I did think was good in Flex in the 90s was Stuart McRobert's stuff. He never suggested supplements and was always talking about progression on the big exercises.

hahaha yes mars, i'm have personally seen a whole army of these incline insurgents even ticking off the routine with a pen as they go along hahahaha

that's good to hear man, if it wasn't for all the bullshit then maybe they would attract a longer serving consumer, who didn't get disillusioned in their first 6 months of training

Actually He was being Sarcastic but serious, trying to make a dig but in a playful way. His comment was directed more towards his co-worker who only dates BB's (I suspect he has been shot down before when asking her out), but I was used as the "evidence" so to speak. It's not that big of a deal to me, that is why I made him the towel boy LOL. I'm not trying to get the guy fired, and I don't really need any freebies. But it is fun to hang around when he benches, and Say stuff like "Looking Huge" when he's benching his 225 breaking his concentration causing him to get burried by it. Maybe he'll wise up and get an Ipod.

i love it when guys get all upset cuz the girl they want only dates a guy like who you happen to be. or when there's a guy benchin about half of what you do giving you advice. or this one the guy with 13 inch arms saying yea i can bench 180 but only because my shoulders won't allow me to do much more. then they proceed on with but i can curl 45 pounds like 50 times. its some funny shit i tell ya ppl making excuses for themselves instead of just busting ass and doing some serious training.

Love the kid in Gold's Gym in Scottsdale who works out about 10 PM. This kid wears Everlast boxing shorts, a wife beater, bandana, and is all of 5' 11" 150lbs pounds. I know he is training to be a UFC fighter because he talks so loudly so everyone can hear him. Have to laugh when he finishes some 1/8 benches with 275lbs then gets up and does a few knees and flying kicks! hahahaha
Also, the other day I am doing squats and a brutal 20 year old invades my squat space. Kid tries to walk behind me while I am on rep 4 of 6 squatting hahaha. I just kept squatting. Couldn't help but notcie he was doing walking lunges with 35lb plates, rather than dumbbells. I guess using the big plates makes him a big man??!! And we all know when doing walking lunges you do NOT want to turn around and finish you distance. Rather, you should keep walking in a straight line, because...we all know lunging in a straight line is what you makes you grow instead of the total distance! hahahahaha
I'll post some more in a min....

Few days ago chicken legs comes up to me and ask if I have time to spot him. I said, "Sure! No problem!" Get up and notice he is walking towards the leg press. It is fully loaded. Both sides are stacked with 45s and the top is loaded with about 8 plates too. I said, "You doing that?!?! Sorry, not strong enough to help you bud." His mouth dropped and I returned to my set.
Another time this black guy at my gym was pissed at me because I screwed up his game at the club with some girl. So he sees me in the gym...guy is much, much bigger than me, "You got a problem?!.....You got a problem?!?" I reply, "No, I'm white." Then go finish my workout. When I finished went over to him and said it was time for him to shoot me now. I am not going to run from him. He backed down saying, "I don't even realize how things got screwed up..." Then he apologized! hahahahah Gotta love these talkers

Anyone wants a good laugh head down to World's Gym Scottsdale at Thomas & Hayden. After it was bought by the no grunting people they cut the size of the gym in half, got rid of all the hardcore equipment, painted the place super feminine pastel colors. Really a shame. :(

Where's squadfather for this one...
-
I think there's a couple right here in this thread. ::)
-
There is about 271 of them in my gym. ;D
My friend thought Jackalope's were real (we were dicussing newly dicovered animals), he swore he saw something about them on t.v. (he argued with me and another friend for about 15min about it) I then proceeded to show him clips from the show "World's funniest videos" and told him that's where he saw them. ;D

dont i look real?

Rule #1 for anyone working in a gym - NEVER EVER try to comment on a person's lift unless A) You look much much better then they could ever hope to look (which is almost never the case) B) Youv'e been watching the persons routines for upwards of three months (either way it's creepy). I have offered advice before but only to those who ask me/I know well or just throw in some advice and say try it sometime and see if you like it. I just know myself that I train different from week to week so there is no reason to assume what I do one week is how I train every week. I'll tell you what though sometimes I feel like chucking a dime plate at some douche bags who walk around thinking they are the know-all of BBing and dieting. It's like someone watches you do one lift and suddenly figures you must not know what your doing and you need some advice.
100% agreed.
