irrational anger in the gym

[Zaphod]

But the one thing that really chaps my ass is how the gym gets demolished every night. All the dumbells from 5 lb up to 50 lb are in complete disarray. The 55 - 65s may or may not be messed up. Heavier than that and they stay put on the racks. Plates are scattered about like ADHD monkeys just got done working out and after snorting some coke they decided to redecorate by emptying the weight trees.

Which brings up another beef of mine. Fuckers who load up a bar with several plates on either side, obviously far more than they can lift because they left the shit there, and just leave it as some sort of territorial marking that they lifted that much. They didn't, but they want everyone that comes in after them to think they did. Those fucks I'd like to kill with a cheese grater, starting at the feet.

There is a guy at my gym that I respect. He's a big, strong fella and he's polite as hell. I'm nowhere near a piece of equipment or a machine and he'll ask me "Sir, are you using this?" I tell him no then he goes right to loading it up with enough weight you can almost hear the bar or machine weeping from the strain. No partial reps, either. Full range of motion with enough weight to crush the average 1/2 ton truck.

Yes that is usually how you approach the situation, but when he's hanging out on in cell phone talking about life for 10 minutes my passive aggressive personality boils inside. I should ask but my morbid curiosity wants to see how long he's going to sit there and chit chat.... Oh well I'm all done now and loving life.

And those locker rooms, my god those locker rooms. The funk and ass smells and that old dude who likes to walk around naked..Cover that shit up nobody wants to see that shit.

Dude do you workout at my gym. That old guy just hangs out naked carrying on conversation. It reminds me of that child's story the emporer's new clothing.

The asshats that stand around shooting the shit need to be shot. I don't care that they are talking, I just hate it when they talk so loud the whole gym knows what they are talking about.

What about the dude blow drying his balls at the sink.
I could kill him

Oh sheri...I wonder how melty you'll get after seeing your hairline disintergrate from this wp gear contest? Veiny man hands and a more pronounced jawline sounds like a potential fukushima situation on the horizon.

It's AG.... Our morbid curiosity can't help but see what's next even though we know it's nothing but toilet fodder. Gotta love it.

this ever happen to you???


some stupid fucking roid head walked into my arm while im doing lateral raises last night and with ear buds in I may or may not have said really loudly "I'm gonna smash someones fucking face with a dumbell"


I need some xannies....

No, that is completely rational. One little bump and you could be looking at an injury that could mess up your training for months.

I was squatting 300 ATG when this Asian numb-nut came within 2" of hitting the end of my bar. I told him to, "Watch the fuck out!" He pretended not to hear.

Another thing that bugs the shit out of me is when some douche is DB pressing 30-pounders and he ends every set by throwing them to the ground. It makes me want to throw my DB at him.

I don't think that I'd be able to see this sort of bullshit happen without it ended with my talking to the police. I've gotten in people's faces for simply not unracking.

 

[1HungLo]

thats YOU! I'll get you you fucker..watch out..go work out ina box instead god dammit!

Christean, keto diet?

Who is this Keto you speak of? You mean Kato, the Green Hornet sidekick? Kato was played by Bruce Lee who was Chinese, so, is the Kato diet eating Chinese food?

OK I squat with a yoke bar. They naturally have a little sag to them. So my mistake was not spending more than ten minutes looking for the single bar clip in the whole gym. So there is a little fella even with the right side of my bar doing dead lifts.... He's close. I'm squatting 415 and the bar gets a little shimmy to it. Well I noticed this kid looking at the end of my bar with a look of terror on his face. So I go down and back up and he's still looking. So I focus in on my right side plates and notice that one of my 45's is so close to the edge that I can't tell if it's on the bar all the way or not. So I rack it and ask him if he saw that the plate was about to fall off. He just looked at me like he was afraid to say anything.

Uh hello kid do you know what would have happened if that plate came off (insert your favorite expletive)!!!

Like a dear looking into headlights.

Years ago I was working out. I was tired and not really thinking as I unloaded the bar after squatting. I unloaded just one side first... The bar violently flipped up the other way, striking the squat rack. It sounded like the Bells of Notre Dame. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was looking right at me. I think I pulled, and injured, my dignity that day.

That's funny. Just be glad it didn't catch you under the chin. It would have probably killed you.

A girl did that the other night on the dead lift stand. It made the most horrific sound. She just walked off and left it there.

 

[SheriV]

so I was in the gym..laffin at this dude who has such a wobbly squat some plates almost fell off on one side.....

oh shit...

nvm

Probably my biggest pet peeve is when assholes don't rack their weights. Second is not putting them where they belong. So the dumbbell rack is 1/4 empty and half what is still there is so jumbled up the two dumbbells you need are twenty feet apart.
