are gym goes becoming more retarded?

[kreator]

Instagram and tiktok generation is like cancer. Slowly destroying the essence of everything they touch. They turned the gyms into circuses.

[Gym Rat]

There is one of these in the gym, there are young teens who can spend 45 minutes on it and just do multiple sets of things they could do with a pair of dumbbells

Old guys love these stupid things as well. A couple of guys flap their arms like wings while using this thing.
Hilarious

the other gym near my apartment, LA fitness, opened a year back. i went in there on a day pass once or twice... absolutely horridly equipped, utterly braindead machine/squat rack/equipment selection. not one bathroom in the entire place, i shit you not! and yet the kids flock there bc i guess its the cool place to be.


my gym is actually a bit of a diamond in the rough. although small, its very well equipped. there are six squat racks, and this place is half the size of LA fitness, which has two! it's not crowded, either--this stuff happens when the place is almost completely empty, lol.

you think they would be obligated to provide toilets as part of the condition of opening..

If there are no bathrooms "I shit you not" 

[Dalnet]

Saw a guy come out and grab a 45lb plate threatening to cave another guy's head in. When it cooled down I asked him, what was that about?  He said, He came on to me in the locker room.  The whole situation was entertaining.

LOL. No doubt with the brown paper bags in hand.

[Gym Rat]

I had a kid dropping the 50's from the outstretched position on incline flyes at sets end.
The bell landed 1 foot away from my foot.

I asked him nicely not to do that, he was nice and apologized and never seen him do it again.
Some folks can and will learn, while majority are fukktardz and do not care...

[funk51]

the gym I used to go to is really crammed, they have so much equipment and are constantly getting new stuff. pretty soon there won't be any room for people.

[cephissus]

Actually, youre right. I remember now there are two, one for male and female, single occupancy. This gym is two stories, and probably has 100+ people at any given time.

I was shocked when i walked into the locker room and didnt see a bathroom... i think thats a first lol.

[deadz]

I've seen too much stupidity in my 30+ years in gyms. Most recently I'm dealing with old women who are pests and just take up space at Busy Body. EOS is opening soon, looking forward to a change.

Should have took a piss in the corner while the toilet occupied and just said you were desperate what the fuck was I supposed to do

[GymnJuice]

in the last few years, i can't count the number of times people have almost run into me while i was doing a set... a few examples:

- im doing lateral raises in front of the db rack (no other choice as its kind of cramped). someone darts in, literally dodging my arms to grab a dumbbell

- the "captains chair" is set in a somewhat narrow passage in my gym, so when your legs swing out it blocks the way. people can see this passage approaching from 30 ft away. they can see someone doing a set. yet time after time, instead of going around or waiting for the set to end, they look up from their smartphone in the last 5 steps and choose to dodge past like theyre playing an old nintendo platformer.

- one of the squat rack is also in a narrow passage, same deal as the captains chair. again, people routinely choose to dodge past you in between reps and wait, huffing and puffing for their opportunity...

Is the general populations pathing skill degrading? does alzheimers start in ones 20s now? are we (d)evolving into an insect-like hive mob?

anyone have similar experience?

You just aren't speaking the millenials language. If you want space just set up a tripod to film yourself lifting. Then they'll give you room, because they understand the need for "likes" etc. 

[Rusty Trombone]

Gayer than using the "captains chair"

[Spike]

I went to a gym in Vegas that was in northwest part but it was never "packed" - when it did get busy their would at least be some females in there so that shit cancels out any bitchass dudes and whatnot

In North Carolina tho - I catch civil charges for 'communicating threats' have to go to court to pay some asshole cash so I can go back to fckn work -

THE SAME SHIT IN THE GYM - I figured it was people ffckn with me so I just pull my hat down like a race horse blinder , I work my hardest in the darkness of my hat - fckn all the nancies around you

remember you pay to be there just like they do - just because you're bigger doesnt mean you have to help these asshole for free - be a man like I was at that age and approach another man - fckn they shit everywhere , attention

I down go to th gym to make friends

 I have a CSCS ( look that up brah - I know it doesn't matter in you expert circle - but step into a NCAA facility or NFL weight room without one .....)

Im about to compete soon - I could care less if its cool to talk in the gym now
the big dudes before me had their hats pulled down too - while you talk and stare at women all day Im doing work

its a black tactical hat - I train around rednecks and fake hardasses - I know a good place when Im there - I worked at the PI some in Vegas - the fighters never stared at me working out and acted all toughass there ?  no one talked shit or walked in front of people all hardcore in Vegas ?  I met a lot of people there too ....been in NC for 2 years haven't met anyone except the ones who knew em before I left

this whole thing started when one of my tires was popped one day WHILE I was working out - I bought a new tire and that hat in the same day - Ive went form 242 to 260 in a year

At my gym all of the squat racks are now occupied by chicks doing hip raises with their bodies perpendicular to the bench and the bar laying across their hips. Then they thrust up. They’ll spend an entire hour doing this shit.  It would be one thing if these chicks were hot but most are fat obese cows.  The worst is they film each other doing it.

[Gym Rat]

Our resident retard upped his game. Always had full facemask, now he added gun-range goggles. (Afraid of new RONA maybe)??
Runs around barefoot, shadow boxing, jumping in place, mean-mugging. 

Uses a 20 lb. d-bell for 2-hand pullovers, and 85 lbs on the bench-press. My 110 lb. wife uses much more weight than this clown, and she's 56 yrs old. This kid is mid 20's I would guess.

All the older folks are scared he's going to shoot the place up...

Definitely a nutjob.

Watch your back.

Pull his goggles forward and let them snap back.

Yeah I hate that shit with all those broads doing that when I'm trying use the squat rack for curls.

Only coomers and Broccoli-heads go to the gym nowadays.

The old people can be annoying, just go to talk...
They stand around in peoples way in middle of the gym, or taking  up a bench by surrounding it & talking for 20 mins a whack, etc...
I like most of them, but some are annoying kvnts...

I have headphones on, and this one guy will come  up yapping to the side of my head, even while im straining during a set, real odd duck...
No one likes the clown... I hear other geezers shitting on him... Bald fukk...   

[bhank]

I mean that is just what you get in a regular commercial gym. If you want to seriously train without the crazies go when it is empty join a specialty gym or have your own gym. But if you want to flex for your gym crush in a string tank top during the 6pm after work rush some idiots hogging all the best equipment is the price you are going to pay.

[Rambone]

Yes.
