There is a guy in my gym that is the strongest and prettiest and wittiest guy ever. Goes by the name of Alexxx.

you're too hard on yourself Mike, at least you train like a madman, some of these tools couldn't lift their way out of a wet paper bag yet they walk around like they are beasts.

All people are clowns in my gym!
I have a guy that is 5'5" 200 pounds and weak as a kitten who is always obssesed about his size. Always asking I am big right?? :-\
I got some guy giving advice to other people and he weights only 135 pounds soak and wet and himself has shit form. Stays away from me :)
There are guys in my gym weaker than most girl lifters who walk around like they are all tough.
There is this one dweeb that came to the gym right after an all night rave skinny as the poles. Good thing he brought his girlfriend and I think he also brought his boyfriend.
There is the somewhat big black guy walking topless in the gym eyeing me probably because he feels intimidated.
There are people that come and talk all day long in the gym.
There are too many dumbasses to list and if I payed attention to every single one of them then I would go crazy and make fun of people on the internet as relief.
Ps: my grandmother. my mother and my sister all train better than 95 % of the people in the gym!
-
the 6 ft 0" 140 lbs guy bitching about the fact that our gym don't have dumbells heavier than the 130's

how about the 5'8" 180lb. dude who comes in with his wife wearing a Beverly International t-shirt and does chest/back supersets with the 80lb. db's on flat presses and a 35 and a 25 on t-bar rows and has his "wife" do the same workout, hahaha.

at least Jack is big and somewhat hardcore, i look around my gym and it makes me fear for mankind sometimes,
-

Weren't you a Rhino fan ?
-
how about the 55 year old "personal trainer" 5'10" literally 145lbs. soaking wet, glasses, 13 inch arms having his "clients" do cable curl/pushdown supersets as an arm workout.
-
or the 24 year old dude always wearing the same Under Armour shirt who wants to start a "Gold's Gym wrestling club".
-
The high and tight hair cutted x military guy turned kick boxer who whenever anyone with decent size walks near shadow box's in the mirror and spin kicks the squat rack.......
Ha ha this guy at my gym has got to practise a fight sequence before he goes to the gym. Everytime anyone walks near him he busts out his Matrix fight sequence all over the place.
-
WHAT ABOUT THE SHADOW BOXERS???
They do a set and then jump up and down and pretend they are fighting someone.
Does this bother anybody else, or is it just me??
-

O boy I bet he was the type of spaz who claimed he used to be "special forces"
-
we've got another dude who comes in 55 years old 5'8" 140lbs. who literally wears a string tank top, baggies and one of those old leather GNC weight belts and weighs himself before and after workouts.
-

Great point!! The token smelly middle eastern dudes.
I actually asked one of them if they could please wear deodorant, at the gym. That their smell was putred. He replied "How the hell do you know it's me that stinks"?? I told him because he was the only one around. My training partner just looked at me in disbelief. I said it;s not fair that we should have to suffer because he can't clean himself properly.

THREE PLATES YOU'RE A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now when i say this i always have a smile on my face but i absolutely scream it so they are embarassed but he keeps coming in.
-
I am working out in my gym, looking reasonably fit [well to the general public anyway] and some disgustingly obese guy that is twice my age and incapable of benching as much as me, and is constantly late on his gym payments so I have to hunt him down each month........continously interrupts my set to ask me to go out to dinner ::)

I would pay to see you doing that haha.
-
another thing i love doing is crushing people's pride when they use the Smith Machine with the 10 pound bar like if a dude is using two plates per side for inclines a say, "damn dude, 190 that's pretty good" hahahaha.

what about the guys who "jump rope"

what about the guys who "jump rope"
i went off on this dude the other day, i'm doing flat flyes at the end of my chest workout and right before my last set with the 80's this geek turns the bench around sideways and starts doing one legged squats with one foot on the bench, this guy is like 5'9" 150lbs. and he did a whopping two sets of barbell squats with 135 and 155 before this, so i say, "hey dude do you mind if i use this bench for what it was intended for and he goes i'm sorry man, i say why do you do those pussy ass things anyway why not just put more weight on the bar for regular squats? i haven't seen him since.

SHADOWBOXERS!!!!!!!!!! >:(

Theres a skinny guy in my gym who thinks hes the biggest, baddest bodybuilder on the planet. With an imperious look in his eyes he sneers at everybody and makes facetious comments about their strength and form. He then struggles to curl a ten pound barbell. He posts on getbig.
-
do you go?
>:(
what about the guys who "jump rope"
:-[
I jump rope. In my defense, I do it to help my fitness routine [and in private]
I have a guy here who wraps up every possible joint extensively and then does quarter reps as his range of motion is so limited. Like when he wraps his knees..it goes from the mid calf to mid thigh. The other members all call him 'the mummy' behind his back.

yeah i know i'm always so weak from your mom draining my nuts before workouts, i need to tell her no but she's so good at sucking cock.

haha..my gym is always filed with mexican guys...all ages too. you have the standard 20 year old mexican guys that always wearing black wie beaters and bandanas doing supersets of bench presses with 185 and sit ups. haha...
then you have the 30 year old mexican guys who sit on the row machine and talk with intense descriptions about fucking white chicks. then you have the fifty year old mexican gusy with the strong accents that always say "hey amigo" even if you just saw him and he just said the same thing right before your last set.
haha...then youve got the senior citizen mexicans who walk on the treadmill wearing lifting belts for an hour.
;D
-
shadow boxers and the people that jump rope just in the middle of the damn gym are not only annoying but dangerous, I mean imagine what would happen to them if they hit someone :o
I found it crappy that while doing my normal cardio rountine there was a newb lady who just started working out and she was between me and another real bodybuilder, and she looked over to me and said"uh-oh this is not going to work" in a joking manner, referencing that we intimidate her,and were nice guys, but it's jerks and dumbasses like shadow boxers, and snarling 150lb weenies that give the true athletes a bad rap.
-
I can't believe no one has mentioned the overweight guy who always has the bigass cup of coffee on the go. The guy at our place moves around but as fast as I am to turn around, I never actually see him lift anything. Maybe he just buys the membership to get out of the house or away from his wife.
-

i train in a ghetto gym but surprisingly i dont comeacross too many douches..actually most people are work oriented//the come they train (where it be correct or incorrect..who cares) and leave.
except for a few old doods that'll try n talk to ya while u r training or actually in the middle of the set...but hell man they r in their 40s and 50s.....watcha gonna do..be rude to older gentlemen..nah..thats just bad manners..they mean no harm..

There is a guy where I workout who is obese...looks like the blob.He feels the need to instruct everyone on what they should be doing and what they are doing wrong...lol...Everyone knows someone like that.I have known this guy for awhile...and to his credit(I think) he USED to be in decent shape...that was about 4 years ago....I still haven't figured out WTF happened to him..He actually knows quite a bit really...but it is comical to see a guy that fat and out of shape give'n strangers advice...you can just see it in their eyes ,they are thinking "How can you teach me how to build my body when you can't build yours!"..and people don't ask him to help...he just starts telling them on his own....Awhile back he was asked to give some dude a spot on the bench,I heard the guy say he was doing 5 sets of 5 or something like that.He had 225 on the bar and after the first set,fat boy takes it upon himself to replace one of the 45's with a 25!!haha...dude was like WTF are you doing?!! >:(...He said "You should be doing sets of 8-10 reps...you won't get anywhere doing sets of 5..you are not a power lifter...The dude was kinda pissed and switched the weight back and told him "If I want advice I will ask for it.. ..."and fat boy actually had the balls to Take it back Off again and put the 25's on ...LMFAO...This set the guy off(understandably) and words were exchanged and before it was over they were both asked to leave...don't know if anything came of it but they are both back now but do not speak at all.

What about the guy that wears 3 t-shirts and a flannel with the sleeves ripped off at the forearms.
Wears the same thing EVER DAMN DAY!!!!.
Always in off season mode...Never seen with out the layers, no matter how hot it is.
A Gallon of water and wrist straps on at all times. Gym bag follows to every machine and is the size of a buick.
-
we have a martial arts guy here who does one rep maxes with every exercise. I mean cables, preecher bench, anything. Exept squats. For that he does 3 inch squats with 6 plates per side and slams the weight. This fool was supersetting squats with calves and he loaded the seated calf machine with 45's up the the top and used the rest for squats. Everyone else who wanted to use plates was like WTF! MAN! You're not even doing one good rep!

well that is sorta the situation in my gym....every time I am working out everyone gets upset and leaves cause I have all the plates... 8)...lol :P
and nobody post something like"How does a gym stay open with only two plates?"...lol ;D
-
short fat dude always comes in my gym and gives everyone advice. he only has two exercises he ever does, piss-poor rom seated machine bench and some weird cablecrossover exercise that involves using the entire stack, grabbing a handle and bending a little bit.
he comes over to me today while i'm benching and starts telling me how to target muscles. i'm not going to drop any jaws, but i'm no slouch either and this guy's built like a goddamn ewok and telling me what i should be doing. starts making up weird shit like that i should cross my ankles UNDER the bench for power. ::)

Those guys are the worst. As a guy it is painful to watch someone strike out so badly. Even worse is the fact that he won't stop. :-\
-
hmmm...he didn't start peeling weight off your bar did he?..lol...cause that sounds like our resident
fat ass expert.

Oh my god do you live in australia and if so what gym do you go to? I used to go to a gym called globe and we had the same guy. Every machine he would do one rep maxes! He used to add weights to all the machine and once even asked a guy how much he weighed and had a guy stand on the plates of the machine, i think it was leg extensions. We used to call him the machine tester we thought he was testing the strength of the machines. I have occasionally seen him do free weights but of course all one rep maxes. I think i saw hime do a set of three once, that was cool.
-
hey sars, come up with some new shit... bitch.. your not funny and all these guys you talk about prolly stonger than you.;
-
I changed gyms about a month ago and have since seen lycra man and somersault man.
I cant believe this guy was walking down the middle of the gym and did a somersault and then continued on walking to the next piece of equipment he wanted to use. :-\
The other guy is about 40 around 5ft 7" in decent shape and wears lycra when he trains... ???
Other characters ive met/seen over the years are Fartman, Bicepman and Partialman. Fartman walks over to the corner of the gym after every set and drops his guts only to have the smell follow him back to where he is training... ???
Bicepman does curls every night in the gym and wonders why his arms are getting smaller...
Partialman would train with Bicepman and do partial reps on every exercise at a very fast pace...

Just drop a 45 plate on his foot, accidently.
And don't forget to say sorry! You're a fine sophisticated gentleman, after all.

Some dudes are walking around the gym with an everlasting smile on their face. >:(
Are they retarded?
-
Skinny guys who spend most of their time talking between doing sets of partial squats with a quater on each side ::). The worst part is when they constantly try to make eye contact with you and try to engage you in conversation (mostly about how they took a few days off and now are feeling a little weak ::)) >:(
Small and skinny Asian dudes (I train at a university gym) who weight about 135 lbs tops lifting their tanktops up (in between sets) to check their abs out - Ab shooters anyone ::)

yeah those people are everywhere just let your actions speak in the gym and ignore them
-
we've got a douchebag who's around 155lbs. who tries to do one rep maxes on everything the other day i saw him trying to do a db bench press with the 125's, he laid back on the bench and had his spotter push on his elbows to get the first one up then he lowered it slowly and dropped them on the floor. ::)
-
'Pretty boys' ::) with perfectly gelled up hair who come in and do a couple of sets of seated cable rows with about 75lbs, after which they disappear into the stretching room where they spend a good 20 mins or so (mostly on a swiss ball, working their core ::)) before calling it a day. The funny thing is, they haven't broken any sweat and on the way out, they stop in front of the mirror for a while to make sure their hair still look perfect ::) ROFL
Guys who are 5'6'', 140 lbs who say 'I dont want to get too big like Arnold, you know?' ::) when you suggest they try compound barbell movements instead of cable crossovers (after they ask you for advice on building their chest - exercises too, mind you, not supplements, since they are already on a loading phase with Creatine ::))
Guys who come in with protein bar / shakes which they consume inbetween sets. I would be puking my guts out if I tried to eat anything inbetween/after my max sets.
Guys who have ABSOLUTELY no idea about exercising etc, who bring in their even smaller mates and get them to try different stuff like One-arm reverse cable pushdown (with 5 - 10lbs), 3/4 bench press on the smith machine with a 10lbs plate on each side ::)
Man, I could go on forever with this stuff
-
there was a mid 40's dude who used to compete in Masters shows who came into a gym i used to go to and this guy had every fu.cking lifting accessory known to man, gloves, pads, sponges, straps, belts, rubber bands, wraps, training journal and he would take it to every machine or bench he went to and lay it down on the floor.
-
ok here is one
The rogue spotter : this guy will come up behind you and try to spot you yelling encouragements whether you want it or not.

i had to tell one of those jackasses to fuck off one time, i was doing incline db's and this personal trainer kid came up to me on the last rep and acted like he was going to give me a push and i told him "if i need your help i'd ask until then stay the fuck away from me".
-
Haha classic.

i HATE and despise it when people try to spot me while i'm squatting...which is why i squat sundays when no ones around. ESPECIALLY dumbfucks that dont know how and will push their nuts into my back..and make me end up missing my groove...throw me forward
i squat in a powerrack ..and unless i'm hitting 300 and over i dont really want a spot..if i fail the safety pins are there to catch me...most of the time folks are good in my gym but once in a blue moon ya get idiots..

There was a really gross lookinf fellow, greasy hair, chubby, baloney tits...Would wear a tank top from walmart, and these cheesey long shorts, and would groan and roar during sets, and flex in the mirror...he was QUITE annoying.
Then there was this character we called "Crazy tony"
He had a mental condition. He was a throw back from the 70s. he had decent arms for not knowing what the hell he was doing.. anyhow..he would come up to me and compliment me on how big i looked, and then he would ask me if I wanted to wrestle him. ahahahha..i was like "uhh, no thanks" then he would ask me if i was afraid...then he would ask me if I would ARM wrestle him..!
SO my parents owned a restaraunt, and he use to come in time to time..he would still ask me while he was paying his bill, to arm wrestle, or go outside and wrestle.. ???
So at my main job, at a pharmaceutical company, a coworker of mine that goes to antoher local gym, was talking about something odd that occurred to him..he said this strange guy, in his 40s approached him and asked him if he woul dlike to wrestle him...hahaa. I was like "WAIT! DID HE LOK LIKE, THIS, AND TALK LIKE THIS, AND HIS NAME IS TONY??"
The coworker crakced up and said "YES YES YES!" hes a powerlifter/strongman type guy..it was funny as SHIT!
CRAAAZY TOONY IN THE POCONOS!" HAAHA..
HE smelled reall ybad too, the gym owners would sprey down equipment as he used them, because it grossed out the members..hs STUNK!

What about the group benchers? Our gym never has a short supply of 160lb, small t-shirt wearing, Lance Armstong yellow bracelet wearing, oversized cargo short wearing dorks who bench in groups of about 5. Rarely see more than 225 on the bar. And usually one guy is deadlifting the weight off the guy benching. Idiots.

Probably true, but you don't see me showing up at a marathon thinking I'm a runner, so why do they show up at a gym thinking they are bodybuilders? ;D
-
what do you think they're in the gym for?
-
what do you think they're in the gym for?
Certainly not to get any bigger, judging by their "training" methods. Most will be out of the gym in less than a year, never to return. Midgets.
-
so go over to them and give them advice
-
I was at Golds today applying for a job and they had soft rock on ??? How can somone lift to that :-\

This is a great thread. :D

Don't make fun of them too much, laughing at 145 pound guys is one of the few things my 160 pound self can do ;D

The guy who comes in................. grabs a workout bench and the DB's of his choice.... and then lifts his arms and chloroforms half the gym with his armpits when he starts using them. Any time he moves his arms away from his sides is bad. We call him Captain Chloroform.
Then there are the IMPORTANT corporate types who take mobile phone calls during their workouts, and look to see if anyone is listening to what they are saying. And they never put their weights away either.
And the guys who take pics of the ladies with their mobile phones while the gals are working out.
Gah. These people need a life. And some soap.

I saw a piece on the news once referring to cell phone cameras,and some
gyms won't allow you to use them in the gym just for that reason.

LMFAO..... We have one of these at my gym. Our chlorofomer comes through the door already at Full Chloro......My cousin (who is a smart-a$$) turned to him one day after he started on the cable curl beside us (we damn near died trying to breath) and said "That's a damn shame you left the house like that." and then continued his workout. They guy (Mr. Chloroform) was completely bewildered. LOL. I couldn't stop laughing.

so go over to them and give them advice
No thanks, not my thing. If they ask, I'll give advice, but they are so cocky (for no reason) that I really would prefer they just blow out their shoulder and quit.

but that isn't the christian way.
I agree that bashing isn't, but teasing is ok in my book ;D
