More gym idiots......

wow, this post is really negative. no wonder so many people are too insecure to go to the gym. I just try to focus on what I'm doing when I hit the weights....
 
I used to see a lot of like 12 year olds comin in to my gym and they would go right over to the dumbell rack and pick up the heaviest wieght they could just to sit there and do curls the whole time. Not only that, but they would like throw the dumbell up to make it look like a curl...meanwhile everything they are doing, including being at a gym, is being done wrong.

And thats what grinds my gears.

Whenever I go to the gym there is always this annoying skinny guy who keeps wanting to use the same equipment I do - I vary my time at the gym but he's always there - and his form is terrible and he smells bad...

I wish I had my own gym at home... oh wait I do!

We have a lady who works at our gym she is real strict about replacing weights to the stack. Whenever she spots a bar with weights on it she will track you down and make you replace them, she will literally ask everyone in the gym until she has found you. Its a good idea i guess, i hate it when people just leave a trail of plates wherever they go.

BTW i always replace weights that I use:thumb:

They need to clone her I hate fucks who don't put the weights back
 
Yeah, wipe down your equipment and put your weights away unless someone steels the equipment (which has happened to me a lot :mad: )

Yea she is pretty good but there is always some badass eighteen year old with a tattoo who thinks that cos he can curl 15kg dumbells that he doesn't have to replace them to the rack, or when she tracks him down he has a cry about "how its her job and i have other exercises to do" i mean give it a rest mate you were caught just replace what you use.

I suppose that i have to agree with you it is the idiots that ruin it for the insecure people. I think that the gym should be available to everyone but everyone should learn some common ettiquete and manners. And just because someone is not doing something the way you do it, doesn't mean that its wrong.

Have you considered raising his iron intake by feeding him a 5kg plate?

Just a thought...

I thought about paying Frisbee with a 25 pound plate, you know, just to see what'd happen. Oops, did your head get in the way? I'm sorry, here's a lollipop. :paddle:

Diet IS just as important as your workout routine - good advice. ;)
 
As I said I really don't care what people do as long as they are not bothering me, but I do find it annoying when people don't rack their weights. What I find more annoying is when someone leaves an OLY bar on the ground at the gym and I almost trip over it, which has happened.

A friend of mine was at the gym doing deads a couple of weeks ago and left his bar and weights on the ground. I told him to go pick up his stuff.

You misunderstand. Some of us do only care about what we are doing. I do everything in my power to block out everything in the gym but my self and what I am doing. The problem is I might not be able to get to the dumbbell I want because some dumb shit is standing in front of the dumbbell rack. Maybe I want to squat, but some stupid fuck is using the squat rack for their curls.

There is an understood etiquette in the gym. Some people do not know the rules, and end up looking like a douche nozzle.
 
There was a bench in the squat rack when I wanted to do squats so I slid it out of the way. When I was done I went under the rack to pull the bench back in, and as I stood up I was interrupted by my head hitting the barbell. I felt great after that. :wacko:

Hadn't seen a thread like this for a while so i thought i would start one since we all love them.

Gym idiots at my gym.
1. The 50-something year old guy who struts around like he is a pro bodybuilder offering advice to me, my friend and everyone else in the gym when his technique is terrible. he actually went up to my mate and was telling him you shouldn't hold the bar like that(he was doing upright rows at the time) that he should use this grip because it stresses the outer delt blah blah blah i'm the shit, blah blah blah. I men how the hell do you know what body part he should be exercising.

2. The 50kg(110 pound) kids who were standing near the leg press machine whilst i was about to do another set, i tapped him on the leg and said "just watch out for the machine when the bar with the weights on it comes down" because it would have taken him out cos there was 160kg (350 pounds) on it. He looks at me with a look of disgust and confusion like i just killed and ate his dog.

3. The same kids i see on the leg press machine when i finished trying to press the same amount but the weren't even lowering it past the saftey catch, whilst the rest are exclaiming "holy shit man!" in astonishment.

4. Anyone who tells me what they read in muscle and fitness magazine and how it said that arnie did it or ronnie coleman did it this way and the way i am doing it is wrong.

5. These two guys on the bench, now i will admit one of them was pretty cut but thats not the point, he loading bar up to about 105kg(230 pounds) by now i am very impressed cos he looked like he weighed maybe 65kg(145pounds) and i have respect for this guy, then he unracks it and it plummets to his chest and he can't budge it, so the spotter helps him lift it up again and helps him do 5 maybe 6 reps with a ROM of maybe 6 inches.

I had to get that off my chest
anymore gym idiots out there?????

I see a lot of the last one....if your 300lb and can only bench 100lb so be it. Big doesn't mean strong, big means big. Plain and simple, size doesn't equal strength. More people need to realize that and we'd all be better off.

Personally I've never seen anyone in a gym make fun of somebody because f a weight they were moving, and if I did you had better believe I'd tell them to fuck right off and get out. This is about self improvement not prickism.
 
Reminds me of a bis/chest guy who at one of our house parties at the end of the year was trying to show off on my pullup bar in the house in front of a bunch of girls.

He was fairly embarrassed when I did 300% of his pullups and stopped not from fatigue, but from nausea due to alcohol :(

Yea agreed i would never make fun of someone for getting in the gym and giving it a go and someone who has enough guts to use a much lighter weight compared to everyone else. I have a lot more respect for someone who benches 60kg(135 pound) with great form for 5 reps than for someone who uses double that weight and half the ROM for half the reps.
 
Seems like every thread I'm in has a damn YouTube link or embedded video... which is making the site blocker we have here REALLY annoying. :P

There's this one guy in the gym that goes there literally every damn day. I see him no matter what days I go. He never does cardio and spends half his time there BSing and joking around with people. I garauntee you when he goes home after 3 hours he feels real proud of himself regardless of the fact that he didn't hardly break a sweat, and he spent at least 2 of his 3 hours standing around talking. Did I mention he's huge, but also a fatass with no definition? I don't know what he does with all his time but he's got a big back, scrawny forearms, and his biceps are as big as mine (he probably outweighs me by 80lbs).

There's a difference between people not knowing what they're doing but they are going because they're trying to make some sort of difference... and people who just don't take it seriously and are basically just disctracting everyone else.

I don't act negative to anyone in the gym, except when they are complete douchebags. You misunderstand, alot of people retain no common courtesy in the gym and are extremely unrespectful. They are the reasons people don't go to the gym, not us.
 
Mostly just me today...
 
Whats with the head movement????


Ah anyhow, I saw a cat on the bench today that just baffled me. I actually stopped my set as I thought he was in trouble, then realized this is just how he benches.

The negative is fine, but on the way up he lifts himself off the bench arching is back so severely that his balls are practicly at bar level. He was benching 225 if I recall correctly. Shoulders to bends of his knees were off the bench. Is there a new technique I'm not aware of or something???
 
The 70 year old men that casually strolls around the locker room bare ass naked with a towel around his neck without a care in the world.i wouldnt say i dislike this person,i just wonder why they carry around a towel if there not going to use it.... :hmmm:
