Goofy things you see in the gym..

There's one guy at my gym who warms up with 175 on bench and arches his back so far to push this that his dick is higher than where the bar racks, and his heels are digging into the ground so hard his calves flex like mad (and they're tiny).

I have a few pet peeves of my own:

1. When someone smaller than you starts to give you "advice."

ok, let's say this guy IS bigger than you. he's cut too. but you're doing everything right and he's critiquing your workout. then he volunteers to spot you on curls. that's just weird. and he's wearing pajama pants? why?

i really hate that asshole who just wants to work out and not have the conversation of his life in the gym. what, he's too good to talk to sweaty men? oh wait, that's me.

whats wrong with working out in jeans? sometimes shit happens... i worked out in jeans today. kinda sucked, but i dont see how i could be offending anybody. better than spandex.

and yes, i know the naked guy who wants to talk to everybody. just try to stick your finger up his butt, he'll leave you alone.
 
Sgtneo : Im at Cardiff University, good Uni, but Cardiff is a bit of a hole imo.

Michael : He had his head phones on, and if i did go ask him and he said 'No' I would have probably punched him( You had to see him ..he even had an annoying baby face) . Therefore I just stand there getting pissed which helps me lift better later on because of the anger.

And in reference to the "nude guy," I definitely know what you're talking about. He's the guy who takes a shower, then dries himself in the shower, comes out holding his towel in his hand, weighs himself, watches the TV in the corner for a minute, asks you how you're doing, etc. - all while completely naked.
We've got a couple of them at our gym. Plus, the gym also has a large olympic sized swimming pool and members can bring their kids in for swimming lessons, life guard certs, etc.... The other day, I went in the locker room to take a whiz and there is this weirdo nude guy standing there, stark naked, no towel, no nothing, blow drying his hair. Something didn't look right to me, but I couldn't place it...you know the feeling I am talking about?? For some reason something just told me there was something wrong and this guy was up to no good. I felt like smacking him upside the head... This was swim day and the place is crawling with kids. Kids are running in and out of the locker room getting suited up to swim ... So anyway, I go back out to finish working out and about 10 minutes later, it hits me - the weirdo is about 95% bald. WTF is he doing blow drying his hair?? He has none.

I thought about complaining to the gym management, but I didn't know what to say. I couldn't prove anything. If I see the guy again, I plan to tell him to put some clothes on.
 
i dont like the guys who bench and it looks like they are fucking the air to try to get up a set.
i dont like guys who wear cut-offs in the gym when they arent big at all ( or outside of the gym for that matter) it cant be that hot in their that the sleeves on a shirt make you burn up.
i hate people who cut in front of me at the taller water fountain whenever they see me walking towards it and know damn well im going to get a drink from it and i am forced to go to the smaller one.
i hate old guys who wear spandex biker shorts in the gym to lift.
i this one guy who brings a rubber-made container of chalk to chalk up his hands when he doesnt even need it. he just wants it to look cool. u dont need chalk to curl a DB. get some gloves u dick.
 
p.s. i hate when people ask me for a spot while im in the middle of my set. wait til im f'in done.

Honestly, if he was bigger than me and more cut, despite the fact that the pajama pants are weird I'd probably listen to him. He might have something interesting to say that would help me. I'm always open to new opinions on training to help me hone my own.

(:blah: )

About the jeans, it's not that jeans are offensive, just very out of place.
 
I cant stand it when somebody says something to me while Im doing squats... The veins are popping out of my neck and face, and the kid walks up to me, (not that im an old fogie myself...) and starts blabbing away, then gets all freaked out, because I dont say anything back to him...

Few things on this rock need as instant and extreme attention as a chimo. You see that butt monkey again call him out in front of people and ask him WTF he was doing buck assed nakid in front of little kids blow drying his bald assed head. Then start harrasing him at every chance. :pissed:
 
:shrug: I workout in jeans all the time, what's wrong with that?

is it comfortable? Do you wear them when you do squats?
 
Yes its comfortable. It doesn't affect anything even while squating, but I were loose jeans, tight ones who be hard to squat in.
 
I wear my corduroys when I workout and it's pretty comfortable. Of course they are really baggy so they don't restrict me at all.

Well first it's not proper workout attire. Jeans have no place in a gym like spandex bike shorts have no place on a golf course. I've seen people get kicked out of World's Gym for wearing jeans. I've also been to a gyms where a bunch of construction dudes are in there in the muddy work clothes with muddy boots leaving big chunks of mud and dirt everywhere. that's exactly what it leads too.

Two teenagers were in my gym and one started benching 135 as fast as he could and he was bouncing it off his chest real hard, so one of the 45 plates fell off because he had no clips on the bar, and the bar flip way to the right and if it had gone the other way it would have hit me in the face while i was benching.
If thats true.......:rofl: ROFL

1. When someone smaller than you starts to give you "advice."
2. When people take one of the "dual" high cables (like for cable flyes) to do tricep pushdowns when they could just as easily use the one right next to it that was meant for that. Instead, I have to wait for them to finish their set in order to do cable flyes.
3. When people take up entire benches by the DB racks to "rest" inbetween curls.
4. When people take like four BB's (like 70, 80, 90, and 100 lbs) to do curls and switch around while I wait for something to do curls with.
5. When people stand between you and the mirror during a set of lateral raises.
6. When people try to talk to you despite the fact that you obviously have two very loud headphones blaring in your ears.

Ok, that's enough ranting...
Dude all i got to say is your an f*in idiot.

Hmmm...
I'm not exactly sure why you just said that.
 
I hate the guys that are competing with me. For instance, I sit down to do some dumbell military presses today.

The guy next to me is clearly there to do a bi / chest routine. He's doing curls. He sees what I'm doing weight wise, and is compelled to throw in a set of military press. WTF? :confused:

Also, there's this dude that stinks. There's nothing like having someone walk past while you're excercising and his BO is so bad that you almost drop the weight.

:barf:

I totally agree... Hate the competitors and the stinkers.
 
Let's see......there's the man who wears the same sweatshirt, hat, and sweatpants everyday, the man I saw bring a portable dvd player (on two separate occassions) and spent more time trying to attach it to a cardio machine, than actually working out, tthe guy who always wears his shirt inside out, the usual people literally dying on the treadmill, etc.

I dont understand those that wear baseball hats in the gym. Especially a couple of guys that have it pulled so low down that they have to tilt their head up to look where they are going. But why a hat in a gym? the sun went down a looong time ago, besides you are indoors.

The only reason i can think of is to hide his bald spot, i guess :shrug:. And if the reasoning is to prevent sweat from dripping down his face, then i hope he washes that germ factory after every workout.

Actually, I must represent!:p I wear one most of the time when I train, to avoid having sweat drip from my head to my face and eyes!

You are an exception. Me thinks you will look great even in a garbage bag! ;)
 
I've worn a hat in the gym from time to time. It helps me block out the people around me and focus on my lift.

I saw a guy reading a newspaper in the gym. I don't mean sitting on a bike or whatnot...He was resting in between very short very light sets on the lat machine. Struck me as odd and a waste of space.
 
I wear a hat all the time. it's much better than having sweat run down into my eyes when I'm training. plus some gyms are bright as hell. need to use some softer flo tubes
 
Theres a guy who comes in that is around 5'8 and very skinny, except he has a decent sized chest. This is because all he ever does is flat BB bench, and he thinks hes a hardcore mofo. Sure, he can lift more than i can, by about 15-20 LB's on bench maybe, but not even close on any other lift. He comes in like every other day, warms up with 135, then 225 for 10. Then he thinks hes hardcore, and puts 275 on, and walks around the room to make sure everyone sees how much weight hes got on. He then proceeds to get it for 6 reps, everytime, it never changes, and he NEVER gets stronger. Then he puts 320 on, and gets it for 1, just barely. He NEVER gets stronger. This happens every other day, and is annoying as fuck.

Also, i agree, guys with there GF's are annoying. Bring your GF in and I'll beat your ass mofo.
 
when i see people do back ext with the lat pull down. one sec they are vertical the next they're horizontal. it's funny and annoying at the same time.
