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.

Fat guys standing in front of the mirrors stuffing their faces with ice cream and muttering to their imaginary girl friend how lean they are.

Oh well...get over it...hardly a "newbie" Post count has nothing to do with being "newbie" to the sport.

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?

Stalking me through the boards now. Looks like I've got another internet fanboy hanging from nuts. Ask Arvilla to slide over a bit and I'm sure you can find something to grab on to.

hahahaha, I guess that cardio kickboxing class has been working wonders for you. How does someone get to be smooth at 110 pounds? Try lifting weights.

These people are at every gym, I bet I have seen all those types of people today and I have only been here since 9. Makes you wonder how many people there are like this in the country, probably enough to fill 100's of gym's.

There shoud be a gym run by wierdos for weirdos.

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.

Sad thing is, I train at a Gold's, and it is FAR from hardcore. :-\
It sucks.

Hey, Alexxx's parents gotta earn a living too.

gym staff that mull around me when I bring in a ziplock of chalk
the people that look at you like you're nuts for moving a bench to the cable machines "you can't do that!".....I said "I'm moving it!!"
men in locker rooms who talk fully naked,,,now women i'm sure that's a different story. for me it's get dressed and get outta there. Save the talk for when you're done.

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.

True dude, but whats more annoying is that every straight guy in the suburbs will be wearing this do 3-5 years from now.

The IDIOT who takes all the plates off ONE end of the olympic bar first without thinking..
-
The clowns at my gym who think they are big bodybuilders and all they train are beach muscles, arms and shoulders, with maybe a little chest. They have to make sure and wear very long shorts all the time so no one sees their skinny, untrained legs, they look ridiculous.........oh yeah and they take their share of gear to look like that. Most of them walk around with gym bags and a mean scowl acting like they are Mr Olympia or something.

This old dude today was talking for a while to someone while he was naked when I went into the locker room and 1/2 hour later he was still naked talkin to people ???

Using the smith machine or chin up bar are as a jungle gym. Dude, swings up on top of it and does something akin to push ups (5).
-
poor dudes carrying around a huge bag with half their apartment in it, using the lockeroom as a home away from home.

People who sound like gorillas when they lift weights. I remember this one dude doing some tricep presses w/ dumbells and he sounded like a goddamn gorilla having a baby. It annoyed the shit out of me.

There is this beer bellied bald old dude who dyes his goatee that does that shit but it's more like a dieing or injured gorilla ;D

Noon time = elderly invasion at my local YMCA. :'( They take up all the equipment, pools, talk too much, and smell funny. At least they stay away from the barbells so a brotha can do something. ;D

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.

i was training a mate of mien one nite who is a lead singer and a death metal band and we both heard this guy grunting lound and my mate said "i want that guy for vocals in my band", it was so funny and this guy who was grunting is ok strenth wise bit nothing super impressive.

I love the guy who moves around equipment to jump rope....and then does one set of flat bench and then goes and hits the stairstepper.....I've seen this guy in a couple gyms throughout the lower 48 :-\

this dude has the worst BO. If he walks by during a heavy set it is game over, end of set.
