    Rack the weights!!!

    I really hate that when I'm at the gym and people are using the dumbbells and putting on the plates that they sometimes don't put the weights back. More so with plates but more ignoring with dumbbells. Is it that hard to take 5 to 15 steps to return the weights back to the original resting place? It happens more when it's really busy and I also see the trainers do that too. Zero respect at the gym. Sometimes I would see about 16 dumbbells on the floor and this is at Lifetime Fitness which is about $60 a month. I'm going to take some pictures tomorrow and upload them on this post.

    I'm not going to stay there long because it's too pricey. I join but it's open 24 hours and they have a lot of fine asses there.

    Oh, that's one aspect of the gym I hate to no end. I just wanna perform my scheduled WO, not get a second one in!

    You will find not so nice people everywhere. Just don't let their behavior affect your workout.

    I've walked over to those type of fucks before and asked them to put the bells away when i see them leave them - not once have they ever said NO. Just common courtesy.....Maybe it's their $60 / month mentality, who knows

    the extra effort might be too much for them. if they're anything like the jagoffs at my gym they just got finished 5 sets of half reps and piss poor form, while shrieking like the world was gonna end.

    That happens at my $10/month gym. Not very much, though.

    there are "RACK YOUR WEIGHTS" signs on every piece of equipment at my gym, no kidding, and on the walls, in all caps... kinda says "RACK THE GOD DAMN WEIGHTS FUCKERS" without the foul language.

    for the life of me I have never understood this. you voluntarily go to the gym to lift heavy things yet somehow many just don't put the weights back in there proper spot. if you wouldn't do this at your home why would you at the gym?
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
