Gym pet peeves

[coltrane]

For which exercise you need to use the mirror "as a reference point"? I always found those people funny, who need a mirror for every exercise to "check their technique", while they are actually using a bad form and they just use that one minute set for posing their massive 12" pipes.

right here douche.....you imply it with your weak witty comeback.     NEXT!

I am very familiar with all exercises and I still use and mirror to see if my form is good the same when I train shoulders. Older male member in his fifty's sining opera in the mens shower.I have had put up with lots of times when I have arrived in the mens changing to geting ready to train plus it drive other male members up the wall.people leaving dumbells on benches but I use commen senses leaving dumbells on the ground.I have come across that a few times when doing cardo with some chick wearing very strong perfume which smells like rotten fish.

The mirror is the most important piece of equipment at the gym I go to.  It's the only way you can make unrestricted deposits to the spank bank and not worry about being busted.

Please show me in which post did i say you have 12" pipes? That's right, i didn't. Seems like you're very sensitive about your arms

And to "Playboy", often it's not possible to "walk around the guy using the mirror". For example, at the gym i go to, theres a dumbbell rack in front of the mirror, then smith machine behind that etc. So basically if some guy is doing incline smith and using a mirror, i couldn't care less about going in front of him and pick a pair of dumbbells. If i would, i would found myself spending an extra half an hour just waiting when everyone has finished their sets so that i would dare to walk in front of them.

You are right, people should not be training so fucking close to the mirror. That itself is another annoyance.

You obviously have a little problem with reading comprehension. I was talking about people in general. As you'll probably find out after reading that post several times again, i said "I always found those people funny...". I have seen plenty of these guys at my gym, and yes, i find them funny and pathetic.

That is absolutely true!

Look up in Webster's (thats a dictionary) and learn the word "imply"    

--you say "those ppl that use the mirrors" and link it with "their massive 12 inch arms" in referring to me using a mirror.       Your lack of an education makes you look completely foolish on here.  Beauty school dropout....go back to High School.....NEXT

Yes it is, especially when people who work with dumbbells in front of the mirror, stand so close that you can't go and quickly grab a pair of ones. And even when they rest between sets, they have a bench pulled in so close the dumbbell rack so that they could sit between sets, that they're standing in your way.

Hahaha, what was your profession again? Whatever it is, i bet i wouldn't want to change mine to yours, quite the opposite I don't need to attend any school ever again, and i'm very happy with that.
Seems like whenever people are talking about arms in general, you want to translate that to mean YOUR arms. And i think that's a personal problem of yours

[FinnPilot]

i'm an attorney in private practice in ny.  sorry you feel the way you do, but you definitely came on this thread to insinuate that ppl that use the mirrors do so to "check their massive 12 inch arms" and me being one to use the mirrors, i must be just checking my massive arms.  You know you are wrong, yet continue to argue your point.  Also look up the term:  "chasing ghosts"
You lose.  I win.  End of story "Finn".....NEXT!

Of course you are an attorney Even if you were, i still wouldn't change my job to yours in a million years
And i think it's been confirmed now, that reading comprehension is something you should really work with, since you obviously have difficulties to understand even the most simple sentence. I said that i find those people who use mirror to check their arms, funny. I also said there's plenty of those people at my gym. I also asked you which exercises you need mirror for. Simple as that. Yet somehow you're thinking "God damn, he thinks i got 12" pipes! I'll f*cking show him and post my pic!!"

Makes one wonder, how many cases a lawyer with debating skills such as yours, could win

BTW, care to explain why you were in such a hurry deleting that arm pic of yours?

[coltrane]

for one simple reason:  squadfather and the internet.


seems like now youre going back on what you said.  The post goes like this:  i post about mirror usage.  You then try to be a "tough guy" and  "slam" using the mirror in that those who do do so to check their arms.  So, deductively speaking, you're trying to imply (theres that tough word again) that i only use the mirrors to check them.  Have you looked up "chasing ghosts" yet my child?

I suggest a basic logical reasoning course as well as a psychiatrist.  (and a dictionary)  Hopefully you've learned your first lesson in it today.  Thats all.  Class dismissed.

So what you are saying, is that you're so afraid of Squadfather, that you had the balls to keep your picture posted for a total of 2 minutes? Man, i think you're taking this Internet forum a bit too seriously

And still, you said i was implying, so that means that i didn't directly talk about your arms ---> therefore you can't know if i meant people with small arms in general ---> you translated my words to yourself in a way that i meant your arms = insecurity issues

Son, class is out!  Come back tomorrow for another lesson on "owning" yourself.

Hahah, this one is easy to translate: "I accidentally made it clear that i'm afraid of an internet character and i better end this conversation before i make any bigger fool out of myself"

People who whine on getbig about what other people do in the gym.

Are you saying that "coltrane" goes to gym to check using mirrors that the other guys are "using correct form", instead of actually working out?

hahah, I think he would be better suited to just focus on his own workouts with his bosu ball and stretch tubes.  Or buy a shitty homegym at Dick's Sporting Goods.

I'm not going to post a picture of an explosion or anything, but did you just have a fucking meltdown?

[chester_bbb]

Those who use the Smith Machines for their entire chest workout.  A whole 2 exercises      He did about 20 sets of 5-12 reps (adding weight, removing weight) of flat bench presses and incline presses.  He was on it for over 50 minutes...stopping inbetween sets to record what he was doing.  I wanted to choke him   

Damn that Arvilla.

Haha, obviously buying a home gym would mean losing the point of going to gym to "coltraine"

1.  shadow boxers
2.  guys in tap out shirts
3.  squat rack curlers
4.  cell phones
5.  old men starring at me and trying to convince themselves they used to look like that

But where will you get your johns?

[lifterguy]

1) People who do their sets standing right in front of the dumbell rack, blocking access to anyone else who wants to get dumbells.
2) Cell phones.  (And guys who lay their cell phone on the floor, assuming I won't step on it.  So far I haven't.)
3)  People who are too busy, lazy or stupid to rerack their weights in the proper place.

Like i said Finn:  come back tomorrow for another lesson.  In fact, why don't YOU post a pic since you seem to know so much about what goes on in the gym?

Why, you need a whole day to prepare yourself to make even a decent argument? You must be one hell of an attorney
And what does "knowing about what goes on in the gym" has to do with posting a pic? And why would i post a pic anyway, because you had the balls to keep your pic here for the whole 2 minutes? Besides, i never asked you to post your pic, but obviously i hit a nerve with that arm thing

Hahaha, i can imagine you taking a little sip of vodka, and then thinking "That's it, now i have enough courage to post that pic!" Then after 2 minutes you pussied out and realized that SF will probably make fun of you so you quickly removed it
Talking about taking internet too seriously
