When someone annoying asks you if they can work in ....

[pumpster]

When you join a gym, you agree to share the place with all types, some which may be new and not be versed in what you call proper behavior. You're just an amateur working out like everyone else and are no more important than the guy who walks in there for the first time.  Once again, noone cares about your workout as much as you do.

You're incapable of staying on point. You're referring to generalities, whereas in reality there are multiple scenarios, apparent to others who notice what's around them. I'm way ahead of you, do not think my workout's the most important thing on the planet on the other hand in the context of an intense workout & already on the equipment, it's also contingent on the newcomer to accomodate as well, which you've completely left out and don't comprehend.

Try it, open your mind and absorb that it works both ways instead of injecting your own interpretations.

I realize you're straining to sound articulate but I'm trying to follow this grammatical disaster of a post. To respond......my original response to the meathead who started it was to not take himself so seriously as there will be all kinds joining a gym.  At the same time, I do realize that every gym has the local guy who lifts a little more than everyone else and likes to intimidate those who don't.   This thread has gone longer than warrented.

You've demonstrated true obliviousness in your determination to retain one-dimensional interpretations that show a continued inability to absorb other points of view. You're essentially talking at, not to, others about your one-sided interpretations.

In which case stop taking yourself so seriously, stop preaching AND STFU.


Hope this helps, i'm done with you blockhead.

Speaking from experience LOL

[vikingpower]

the only time i wont let someone work in is if they have been rude to me in the past or if it wouldnt make sense (ie they are useing so much more of so much less weigth than i that changing it would be impractical)

its never really been an issue, my gym is pretty laid back ... and unless someone is a dick i am polite and respectful to everyone there ... you dont want to have bad energy in your sanctuary

yes, sir!

Typically I let anyone work in with me, but if I'm towards the end of an exercise, gotta a buncha weight loaded and I can tell they're gonna strip the entire bar to warm-up I politely let em know I have couple more sets and it's all there's.  In that case, I'll finish, strip the weights and help em load what they need.   If I've just started I'll work with em from beginning to end....I'm not a prick about it.....just liftin weights.

does it happen a lot that people wanna work in when you curl 110 pound dumbbells for 8+ reps?

Actually it doesn't help. You're a laughable piece of work and I don't know who you're attempting to impress.  By the way, it's "AND" show a continued........, otherwise it's a runon sentence Einstein.  Nice try though.    I made my point about being cool to others at the gym. I'm done with this subject.        Hope this helps.

Maybe you made a mistake, the mistake of thinking that the person who started the thread actually gives a flying shit about some other people's workout ? Did you ever think that not everyone in the world is lending a helping hand ?

[Camel Jockey]

I ussually tell them that I have 7 sets left, and when they ask if they can work in I say that I will be 'really' quick...hahahahha fuck em...

Depends on who wants to work in..

I'm not gonna let some fag work in with me if the amount of weight has to be changed all the time.. Like I once let this dude work in and each time I had to take off two plate and reload with 25 lb plates so the stud could do his brutal 95 lb bench press.  And he followed me around the whole time in gym as though I was his training partner and even needed a spot pressing 40 lb dumbells on an incline.

I would work out with a person who comes across polite, mild mannered and curteous. Plus if they are serious about it then its motivating. But when its some prick or a fat dude then take a hike...

Just as noone cares about the guy who started the post's workout.  You must have graduated from West Scranton or something.

Lighten up Francis.     

[peroni]

Unless it's your gym, move over. You might find yourself waiting a lot less for someone else next time.


 If I'm going to have to have to unload a lot of plates on a leg press for example, I'll simply tell them it might be easier for everyone if they came back later.

If they smell bad I knee them in the balls and set their car on fire. And of course, I refuse to let them work in
