Gym scum makes me nuts!!!!!

[S_walker]

things I have noticed lately that piss me off:

• Spending more time re-racking some douche-nozzles weights than I should have to.
• MF'rs socializing and taking up space.
• MFing trainers using benches and squat racks to train Susie-No-Ass.
• Circuit training types trying to take up every thing in the gym.

Besides doing lifts (that you don't need a squat rack for) in the squat rack... the other day some douche was stinking up half the free weight area with his cologne or aftershave. That's an awful thing to smell while your trying to squat your 5 rep max.

Hmmm....somehow this doesnt feel like we're learning proper form and technique. But we are learning that people should fucking shower!!!!

Old people in the gym don't bother me at all.. Until they are taking their sweet ass time on the machine I'm trying to super set with.

 

[rayray1295]

[juggernaut]

Huh??

Got a new one: Some douchebag new to my gym does this thing where he leaves 6 (SIX!!!) fucking 45s underneath the decline bench to do abs. Are you fucking stupid or just really retarded. Then he just walks away and doesnt rack his shit. Someone approached him as he left, told him to go back there and "rack his shit". My gym members are very protective of our place.
Another one: some doofus started barking-like a dog-while he was doing tricep pushdowns. Loud and obnoxious. I made an effort to do this the next time he trained near me while I was training. He used 3-4 plates. I used the entire rack and barked. LOUD. People around me were chuckling. I havent heard it since

LOL you must be working out with DMX

Shit, I just remembered a good one.

I was doing squats a while back. This idiot comes up to me and first makes a comment about how he has the biggest gut in the gym. I fake laugh and tell him, "well, that's why you are here." I don't know if he appreciated my literal response. Anyway, he is talking to some dude on a machine that is right next to squat rack I was using.

I do my set, go get a sip of water and come back. The idiot is IN the squat rack, and LEANING on my bar like a jackass while he talks about high school basketball to this other guy. Well, I am still recovering at this point and hope he gets out of my rack by the time I am ready to go. I'm recovered and ready to go, I just stand behind him and stare at him for a few seconds, he is completely oblivious. I'm like "fuck it", and I walked next to him in the rack and started grabbing the bar he was leaning on. He got the idea and left, but he really had no idea he was in the way. His body language and apology really made it seem like that. What an idiot.

I wasn't going to dignify this fool with the courtesy of social engagement. What a fool.

 

[Calves of Steel]

Nothing ticks me off like the 150 lb teenager that goes around giving everyone unsolicited advice on their form and what bodyparts they need to work on.

 

[cad500]

Got an example of each of these hacks at the gym i go to. Except the brown sweats lady.

The ones that piss me off them most are the teenagers and college pukes that know everything. Had one yell across the gym yesterday "if i didnt bleed i would be a God" WTF really?

Not to mention all the gear talk out loud so ppl can hear them!

 

[ThreeGigs]

I was doing squats today and some guy pantomimed he wanted to use the rack. I said sure, you can work in, what weight are you using?

He proceeded to do tricep bench dips across the rack.

I was actually OK with it, since he was alternating with me and not getting in the way. But still...

LOL, I have done dips on the rack. Only because there was no one else around and I had the place to myself.

Here is a good photo of another problematic gym-goer over at imgur:

She was actually in front of the weights until I asked her to move, which she did.... by sliding over 2 feet.... and then proceeded to read a book and eat cookies for the next hour.

 

[Breadlift]

LOL What the fuck!?

 

[jbzjacked]

 

[jimm]

lol that pic is ace. what goes thru some ppls heads, bless her.

 

[juggernaut]

Now thats a weight problem.

 

[sscar]

I hate the guys who walk all over the locker room butt ass naked.Was washing my hands and this jackass walks out of the stall after taking a dump butt ass naked then stands next to me to wash his hands.

Sorry man that was me.. saw that you were checking my equipment tho... lol

 

[njc]

I cant stand excessive yelling. Its so annoying. Nothing wrong with some grunting etc but yelling really accomplishes nothing and just makes you look like a douchebag.

 

[skinnyd]

Okay boys and girls, almost all of us know proper gym etiquette but we all have those one or two people at the gym that just make you want to drop a dumbell on them.

Post up your most annoying gym experiences....


Mine is the guy that goes to the treadmill for 1 hour and then comes over to the weight pit to train and lays his fat sweat dripping stinky ass all over a bench that I am about to use and doesn't wipe it down when he is finished with his 2 sets of 50lb dumbell bench press for around 5 reps each. It really seems like the sweatier you are the more pieces of equipment you have to lay on before you go SHOWER.

mine is rack your waits also screamers the littlest guys are always the loudest just lift the weight and shut up.

 

[juggernaut]

Spellcheck works wonders Sparky.^

 

[ThreeGigs]

Had a new one today. Some guy doing some martial arts katas in the warmup area. Not too bad, but when the fool pulled out a bo staff and started swinging it around, yikes.

 

[JeepKuntry]

I get pissed when I have to unrack your weights to start my workout! I've had people take weights while I go to get a drink of water. I don't talk and I'm gone 30 seconds if that!

 

[MrKeenan]

Lately..

• The Ronnie coleman wanna be's. Who actually try to use 'Yeah buddy' and 'Lightweight' in a serious sense when lifting weights, and not as a joke like everyone else does.
• The bullshitters. The guy with way too much body fat yet thinks he's jay cutler. Is able to blag that he leg presses 900kg+ to part time gym goers because they havn't got an idea what that sort of weight looks like.
• The WAY over exaggerated grunts. '1 more rep baby'.. ?
• The people who think the gym is a fashion show and come wearing matching cap and vest combinations.

and one for the guys living in the UK

• The guys who think they're some American stereotype. Cap turned backwards with some denver bronco's vest on who's accent suddenly changes when they lift up a dumbell

 

[S_walker]

I like the dipshit who grabs 95lb dumbells to do 3 reps on the incline bench at 1/10th the full ROM and asks "hey bro mind spotting me?" (seriously he moves the weight vertically 2")

I never mind spotting someone and always do, but for shit sake try getting a weight you can lift and do reps at full ROM.

People who complain about everything
people who pick in the skinny or fat person who is probably just getting started
people who bench and squat all the time when it has no real impact on your quality of life of functional fitness.

People who think they do everything right at the gym, and post what they hate on here but are probably doing something that bothers someone else as well.

1.The Irony
2.There is still no excuse to be an uneducated trainer
3.Bench and squat make me big, so I do them , therefore i am happy. the functional strength I need is to those movements so they have a huge impact on fucntional fitness.
4.Chances are you are correct, but if someone has an issue they can bring it up.
