Biggest pet peeve at the gym?

[Nightowl]

where there are a couple of people who do nodda on the machine, but then go back to their sets...after conversations, and just sitting. Then you have those that take the weights into the sauna and the steam room. Oh, and then you've the ones that are in upper and lower and you know their not in tune..no form, and no idea.

I believe that we all begin somewhere...but were we this bad? I must admit...wiping off the equipment is a must now, as pure sweat running out of pores is indeed a necessary means for it.

My arms fall naturally "puffed out to the side". What should I do so judgmental douchbags like you dont think im showing off? I need to make sure that I am acceptable in your eyes. If you and your jackass friends dont accept me I just dont know what I will do. Yours truly, sarcasm.

Keep doin you homie. Haters gon hate. I got your massive ass back bro.

 

[smythst]

Lazy c*nts who don't put wieghts back. Although, being in the Army and having rank, I recently found myself making some poor pair of Pvts do squats till they couldn't stand anymore, with the weights thay had left on the rack. Sometimes I really love my job.

 

[tubbednova]

Another one is when 175 pound dudes walk with their arms all puffed out to the side. They fail to realize that the reason that bodybuilders walk that way is because of the massive triceps resting on their massive lats. The only excuse to walk around this way is having the inability to let arms hang naturally due to the sheer magnitude of Lats and Triceps. It dosent make you look big it makes you look stupid. For all you assholes out there that are reading this, Stop making yourself look bad. Just give up the toughguy act.

Easy on the 175lb.ers im 180lb and my arms stick out like that but i don't try i actually find it to be a pain.Least i did something right i guess.

I hate people that try to stop in the middle of a set to talk. The headphones are in for a reason. Fucktards!!!

I hate guys that put to much weight on the bench then realize when its to late. HELP PLEASE!!

I hate guys that ask me if i'm doing roids, then when I say no they ask if I can get them some. No means No.

I hate people that smell like onions. There is a shower in the locker room with soap.

I hate people that talk on the phone in the gym .

I hate most of all the trainers that think they own all the equipment, and then try to be your best freind...

 

[Harp2011]

people who "hang out" on equipment and talk on their cell phones. COme back when you are ready to devote ur time to the gym grrrrrrrrrrr
Oh and dudes who hog 35s and 40s dumbells. when they clearly need one lighter.
The only shameful thing is obvious poor form... get a lighter one and leave those alone !!

 

[laddergoat]

But my biggest pet peeve is when the stupid weight room attendants who can't even bench 315 get mad at me for taking a couple hits of crack between sets. There's barely any smoke and hardly a scent. Pricks.[/QUOTE]

I am one lucky fool, my dealer is the weight room attendant! He promotes hitting the pipe whenever you can!

 

[Shooters]

What's your biggest pet peeve? What annoys you most when working out at the gym?

Full-of-themselves Meatheads who occupy mirrors and machines longer than any human should, not to mention making weird noises, wearing loud abrasive clothing while smelling like wildebeasts.

Ha ha, truly awesome response! Agreed!!

 

[REDDOG309]

I wear headphones in the gym for a reason. I'm not ignorant, I just want to do my thing.
So why do people insist on trying to talk to me.

 

[GMO]

Anyone who is in my way...

 

[Diesel618]

Today reminded me I really hate when a certain piece of eqipment is not right up by a mirror but close enough to still watch your form in the mirror and then some douchebag gets right in between you and the mirror to do some lateral raises.

Maybe it's the Clomid though.

Packed gym. You roll in for a good leg workout pressed for time and you have a set of skinny a-holes chatting by a loaded squat rack with olympic bar loaded with 10's on each side taking their 3 min rests between bicep curls while all other racks are taken... and you have to sit there and watch this while you wait

A real man can tune out bothersome pest , minus the headphones.

 

[RedWindsor]

curlers on the squat rack... almost everytime in my gym...

younger kids that roam in HERDS taking up space and benches and machines for god knows how long...

guys who do their curls right in front of the curling bar rack so you can't get to the weights

guys hanging out on machines just talking

when girls walk in everyone suddenly has thier chest puffed out (more humerous then annoying, ill check a girl out but by no means am i trying to impress her with my "physique" if it can even be called that haha) best part is in my gym alot of the girls are still in high school ha

when people do excerises and toss thier body back and forth and back and forth and have absolutely no form... I take great pride in my arm strength and my good form while curling and doing tricep excerises and i hate watching guys curling 100lb bars and it looks l like thier on rough seas swaying around.

Hate when guys load up the squat bar with 3 plates to not even do a 1/4 of a full squat( i used to be that guy but im reformed)

Can't say grunters are too annoying i got my headphones on, but somtimes ill see guys start doing it in the presensce of a female body lol

skinny kids with the puffy arm routine, my old gym had a kid do this, he had to be 140lbs soaking wet, my arms bigger then his thighs and he would litterally walk around like he was trudging a mack truck behind him...

maybe im just cranky but all this really gets to me... i hope im not a hypocrit on any of these though i try my best to behave, the only grunt you'll catch me letting out on a lift is when im holding in a fart lol

 

[Merkaba]

Besides curls in the squat rack?....

Posturing of any kind. i.e. walking around 120lbs soaking wet with "special" gear on like you're a powerlifter and you have bad form, or the puffy chest puffy arm guys, or the guys who you can just tell are trying to impress or think they are hot.

Yes, people grabbing DB's and stepping back 3 inches from the rack to do curls or raises like noone else in the gym will need to get weights off of the rack!

Girls who wear dumb "look at me" type clothing. I mean come on, go to the strip club or something.

people who do totally unorthodoxed movements, hanging and swinging from shit or something like that because they think they are cool. (ok, posturing)

Morons who don't rack their weights. and those that do shit like put three 5 lb plates on the rack where the 45's should be, or put the 45's at the top of the smith machine rack peg. Hey guess what, some small fry or female my need that.

People asking me how much I bench or if you ever played ball or do you play ball.

People coming in the gym smelling like they just left 2 other gyms.

Sweatmongers with no towel. I mean geez. Nasty freaks.

orgasmic grunters. Dude, you're moving 30 lbs...chill with that.

General Douchebagdom

This pisses me off, but it makes me laugh too. Makes you feel like wearing a shirt that says "ITS NOT CALLED A SQAUT RACK BECAUSE YOU CURL IN IT" I'm always tempted to go get a fixed weight bar that totals more than they're curling, stand next to them and pound out multiple sets in half the time. And then ask when they're going to be done so I can squat.


Most of the stuff that annoys me I try to look at as entertainment for me and I feel bad when I see people doing shit that is just going to hurt them - but I usually freak people out if I actually go up and say something. So I just don't, but I keep a couple of my chiropractor's cards handy

The things that do annoy me are;
1) people occupying space but not doing anything -- this includes reading a newspaper on a machine, standing w/ your foot on a bench chatting w/ friends, or parking in the very limited space of the warm up area to sit and yammer w/ your buddies while you do weak ass crunches (it is usually chubby women, who will next go to the reverse hyper and do side bends w/ a weight). Esp the warmup area drives me nuts because these days none of my workouts can start w/o a 20 min warmup/ stretch session. Age sucks.

2) People leaving weights out. I typically put back an avg of about 300 lb of weight in DBs & plates on any given day in the gym. Shitty gym etiquette drives my completely nuts and especially when weights sitting out in the middle of the floor (and yes, I've seen trainers do it too) are just begging for someome to trip over them. I've been so tempted to fake a wipeout after a trainer leaves a fixed wieght bar or something in the middle of the walkway in our fairly cramped weight room.

 

[cthulhu33]

^To Merkaba. All natural? For real? Damn you look good. What supplements do you you use. I know that everyone responds to different supps in different ways, but for fucks sake you seem to be on point. What do you use?

I hate this to. If you did trip it would at least be a free year at the gym(I do not condone causing or faking injuries to get free gym time).

 

[nova1970sb]

im pretty much on the same boat as everyone else here. however the last couple weeks ive seen something that i think can trump them all. 3 times in the last 2 weeks i have seen this pack of 3 woman-beasts who literally look like giant men because of all the roids they are doing who work out in booty shorts, a tank top 2 sizes to small, and heels! straight up stripper heels.

 

[ALBOB]

Guys that walk around the change room naked, shave naked, and feel the need to converse naked. PUT SOME FUCKEN CLOTHES ON ASSHOLE!!!! No one wants to see your hairy fat beer belly and chicken legs.

You're afraid they'll awaken your latent homosexual tendencies, aren't you?

Lol, i have tons of these guys in the gym i go to...fuckin annoying as hell man. Your right, its always the guys with nasty hairy ass backs and gut, standing on the scale naked.

Yea, this shits very annoying.

My biggest pet peeve, is guys who put 45's on a curl bar who clearly cant curl it, and throw their backs into it with everything they got to get a rep, then when they are done, they drop the weight with this stupid ass face and puff their arms out like WIP was talkin about and walk in circles around the weight startin at it, flexin in the mirror, every 180 degree pass.

I throw 45's on the regular barbell for heavy curls. I'll try to stop pushing it.

Whey

 

[triplstep]

Two things chap me pretty good. On back days and leg days, while doing deads or squats, and no bs, it happen at least every other time.

Back day, some bro will tell me how doing deadlifts put him and his disks in disrepair, and I better watch out.

Leg day, pushing with everything I got, I am reminded that going so deep is going to wreck my knees, because it happened to them, so they don't squat anymore.

I have had a few guys tell me not to bury my squats so deep then i watch them when they do there legs and have way to much weight on the bar and then they just move like an inch on there squats but i guess they wanna look cool with the poundage............

 

[stylus187]

Probably my biggest pet peeve is people who wear too much perfume or after shave. Drives me crazy. It's not a fucking nightclub.

Agreed, it give me a fucking headache!!!

I hate most of all the trainers that think they own all the equipment, and then try to be your best freind...

yes sir. I had a fucking trainer, interrupt me and my gf training at Metro 24/7 in orlando. This dude was like"UMM you cant be training her, its our job". I politely say, " dude leave me the fuck alone" He walks away, then about 10 mins later he has the balls to say it again. " I reply first of all look at your physique, and look at mine. I too am a personal trainer. " I lose my shit" I reply look here asshole, if you think for one minute that Im gonna allow you to train my girl, you are fucking off your rocker"! Now Im pissed, Im nose to nose with this guy, and I politely say "Walk your ass away from me right now" My girl can see the look in my eye, and shes like baby please, please walk away! The next thing I know Two other employees come over, and they are like sir you have to leave! I start laughing, I say look fuck it! Cancle both our memberships!! We end up leaving. The point of the story is... How dare you tell me that I cant train my GF. Ive never come across this before at any other gym in my life. Needless to say They are no longer in business!! Ps.. Im usually a real chilled out type of dude!!

I used to work there, that is the funny part. The staff was new, and I did not know any of them!!

 

[pcity1980]

I hate the justin beaver dudes that just now started showing up at my gym. They have no fucking clue what their doing.. all of them weigh maybe 140 max. Their men who talk little girls. They curl 5 pd dumb bells and I hate them. My gym normally profiles people like this. Fuck I hate those dudes or any grown ass guy who acts like a bitch.

 

[TooOld]

Crowds. What the hell is it anymore with this fitness craze? Gyms are packed now with people doing shit that makes no sense with weights that are too lite to even use in warm up sets.
Give it up now people. Your not going to stick with it anyway so just go home and order a pizza and pick up the remote dammit so us who are dedicated to it don't have to step all over the shit you leave all over the place.
