I hate fucking gyms i am not a sociable person and had an altercation with someone stealing my machine while getting a drink i have not trained for 5 months until my own gym is complete.
Guess what folks, if you don't have a training partner, don't ask other people for spots.i disagree here. asking for a spot is perfectly reasonable.

its how you go about it that matters.
obviously you dont bother anyone during a set. i sometimes ask for a spot on my last set of bench presses, but its only a precaution, i prefer they dont even touch the bar unless i cant get it back up again. it is the safe thing to do and if done correctly only an asshole would refuse.
If the police had there way Prison. ;D
Is it in your house, or the prison?
no you stupid fuck, the way to gain strength is to push beyond what you can do easily. its not like i put way too much weight on there and have someone lift it for me,
Perfect example of a douche that loads the bar up w/ too much weight.
no you stupid f**k, the way to gain strength is to push beyond what you can do easily. its not like i put way too much weight on there and have someone lift it for me,
THE PERSON DOESNT EVEN TOUCH THE BAR except in the rare occasion when i try for one more rep and cant get it back up, and this is only on the last set, as a precaution, so that if i cannot push it back up(its happened to us all before) i wont DIE.

so if you were between sets or between exercises and standing near the benches and a guy asked if could spot him for one set you wouldnt do it? maybe im just a nice person, everyone ive ever asked has been cool with it, you are either an asshole or just trying to act tough on the internet.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Perfect, expected, answer. I never said spotting was bad. I said asking a stranger to spot you is ass. "so that if i cannot push it back up(its happened to us all before) i wont DIE." Do you really think that the Reebok Body Tone bar will kill you?
DO they laugh at you?

this is a typical getbig 'im the beast of the gym and everyone else is a fag got' thread ::)Shit i just relized i am not a Homo.

Weed...You are correct about what you said about doing an upright row...That is lame,if they can't even come close and are trying anyway...but there is NOTHING wrong with the scenario JOHN MATRIX described.If you are only using weight that you can do easily without the fear of needing a spot,then you are not working hard enough. No wonder why you photoshopped your pic and tried to post it and pass it off as real...You obviously don't know any more about building muscle than you do about veins and arteries....LMFAO...WEED OUTHEWEAK is a joke.
I don't stand around.

There is no question that when you fail on the bench you must roll it down
your abs and legs and onto the floor without anybodies help. That's how I always
do it - I also never do decline press.
Yes, that's obviously a lot easier than having someone pull the weight off your chest. ::)
There is no question that when you fail on the bench you must roll it downOh yeah that is smart..hmmmm I wonder how well that tactic works when your shoulder gives out or some other severe,unexpected injury,and you drop the bar suddenly... I guess only a pussy would even wonder about that situation.

Ok let's change the question.. If a guy tore a pec while benching, would any of you run to help?
I hate those fags that complain about things like music, the TV. Things I didn't even know were in a gym. Shut up already and workout. Watch TV at home, bring a walkman if you can't do your set to the "I'm talkin' about the doorbell baby" song.
I know, I should try harder. thanks gtobro1. I'll put the original pic back up.
In a gym?
Here's my number one: When some douche interrupts you so you can do upright rows over his chest, aka spot his massive 225 bench that he can't seem to do. This prick couldn't get one, and he was like "Keep going". Guess what folks, if you don't have a training partner, don't ask other people for spots.
I gotta strongly disagree on this one.....I've never had a regular training partner and I use every resource around me in the gym.....most often I know the regulars in my gym better than the few training partners I've had. Those gym regulars I know I can count on and they provide me the most experienced assistance I need.
MOS
Then they're not strangers.
Why did you take the picture down "weedoutheweak"?
What if that poor S.O.B. is a member here? That's why I keep taking it down. That would be pretty shitty of me to let all of you rip into some poor sap. It's from bodybuilding.com's arnold expo. Go look for yourself.
It's obviously you...You were defending the guy's chubby weak girlyman physique and now you're saying it's someone else?
You also erased all of your posts where you were defending the picture!!
LMAO!
my university gym never fails to piss me off
- people using the squat rack for bicep curls
- no longer allowed to do deadlifts (too loud)
- no longer aloud to squat till I puke ("offensive to the other patrons")
- always seems to be bicep day for 90% of the other people
- complete lack of intensity
- juice monkeys who NEVER squat
I don't mind other people asking for a spot or smaller people who just want to get toned - different people have different goals and I can respect that - not everyone wants to be a mass monster - fine. But when you come up to me when I'm wearing my "Shut Up and Squat" shirt and training my ass off in the squat rack because I'm "too loud" or whatnot (which im not - a grunt isnt disruptive), that's the line.
"Well if you're using that much weight and asking for a spot, you must not be doing it properly..." - well, all i know is how to grow (70 lbs in 8 months clean)
They wont let me do deads off the floor, rack deadlifts, or partial rack deadlifts. They shouldnt call it a gym, they should call it a fitness spa.
Whatever you say Adam.

-Old people that sit on the equipment and talk
-Old people that use the busiest time at the gym for their social hour
-Anyone who needes to weigh themselves naked (how much can a pair of underwear weigh?)
-The pubic hair blow dry
-The "Monday crowd" (need to burn the calories from the weekend - one day will not help!)
-Those that use the cell phone while doing cardio
-High school kids that screw around on the equipment I want to use
-The New Years crowd
-Anyone who wears a singlet
-The old dude who thinks he is the strongest guy in the guy - poor form, joint destroying form (Al Bundy Syndrome)
-Over-tan guy (doesn't piss me off, but is sure killing himself regularly in the beds)
-Pitstained tees (hell, most online stores have free tees with purchase)
-Anyone who stinks (don'e wear the same outfit more than once a week - we know it stinks)
around 5pm. or so a grup of midle age women come in and sit over by the dumbel rack and have soshal hower for the next 45min or so. the lafe realy load and are realy anoing nad if you need to a bench that they are siting on the say you can have it when there done, and they go right back to gosiping about some ones dress and never use it tell they leave.
using the squat rack for curls especialy when there is only one squat rack in the gym
