Title: Daily annoying things at your gym
Post by: akers1021 on September 07, 2006, 05:56:35 PM
Where to begin...

Guys that have 20" arms and 10" calves

Guys that workout in sunglasses

Guys that workout in boots immitating there favorite Pro

Half rep squats

1/4 rep bench

Whats the deal with 16 year olds and shrugs? Is this the only thing they do?

That " guy' that tells you he use to bench 500 back in 1982 before he hurt his shoulder...

Guys that workout in the baggy pants to make it "look" they have legs.

Guys that fill up there damn watter bottle at the water fountain for 5 minutes while talking to the "Local Fake Breasted Cardio Bunny"  :)

What is the deal with EVERY damn gym you go to there is always those old bastards in the loccer room with there legs propped up and there balls hanging everywhere talking about the Vietnam War, good god put some damn clothes on....

I have now figured out how to get out of the tried and true question with the " new" meathead in your gym, when there inbetween sets walk over and ask  "so how much do you DEADLIFT   ;D

Beginners following a workout in Flex Mag that a Pro "does" do these guys not understand that those workouts are about 90% of the time NOT what they do, nor do they have access to the drugs they take  :)

Come on guys lets here some more

Imaginary lat syndrome.. 

People who load up the bench with more weight than they can do for a single rep then ask you to spot them on the first rep.

People who annoy you while you're working out, asking, "How many sets do you have left?"..then use the equipment you were using for one set.

People who ask to work in with you that leg press two plates per side when you're using ten per side.

People who yell at the top of their lungs doing 1/4 rep squats with three plates on each side.

My friend and i were training legs on tuesday. this big middle eastern guy comes up and asks if he could work in with us as we were doing squats. i said sure and after a set i asked him how much he wanted to warm up with. he replies "naw man just unrack the whole thing, i'm gonna do curls"

i almost fell down laughing...i told him to use the premade "curl" bars intead of the fucking squat rack. he seemed a little upset. WTF?

Not really. When I was at Golds here in Mississauga Ontario we never had any of that stupidity. if there was...they learned fast. I can't wait until the new Gold's re-opens in 4 weeks. You see these idiots usually in a Premier Fitness, Curzons, Fitness Fanatix or other mediocre gym. Thats why I tell people stick to hardcore gyms.

I can relate to the chalk bit....I also bring chalk in a quart size ziplock bag and gym staff look at me like I'm an alien.   I love after I use just a pinch of chalk for a few sets that the women and some men in the surrounding area mutter to themselves as though they're annoyed and then cough as though their lungs are filled with chalk dust from the minimal dust that didn't leave my area.   

Their disgust makes me smile.....it's then that I double and triple the amount of chalk I'm using because hey....fvck them.

I love the group of guys who are mid 30's juicing for "the next big show", looking less than average, slamming weights, and thinking it's an accomplishment because they compete.  Meanwhile, after their cycle is done, they look like someone who has been lifting for 3 months.  These people need a reality check.

Today I was supersetting dumbell curls and overhead dumbell press.  The bench I was using happened to be about 4 or 5 feet away from the smith machine which at that time had no weights on it.  A guy came up and asked.... are you using this? pointing to the smith machine.  Clearly im hovering over 2 sets of dumbells and he asks if I am using the smith machine?  I guess he was just trying to be polite but it just didnt make any sense. 

I've also noticed the shrug craze.  But they use incredibly light weight.  My traps arent the biggest but I know 45's basically do jack shit on anyone with at least a week of weight training experience.
