gym etiquette

purple guys who walk around in old unwashed dirty sweats, unlaced work boots, holding a gallon of water and have old wrist wrap's on but are doing chest??? typical jersey hero...

dude! Juice head! Quick! Someone call Snooki! She wants to 'get it in!'...
 
people doing curls on the bench press benches. :paddle:
I've done that, but only when there weren't many people in the gym and other benchers were available.
 
I'm eeeeeeeeeeevil!!!!!! I did curls in the power rack this morning. :ohyeah:



(Of course I was in my gym at home. :winkfinger: )

Basically me without the boots...But i do Bench press and dead lifts on the same day:winkfinger:
 
This is fine. I actually wish some of the younger guys would ask for my help. Most people are intimidated because Im working with more weight than them. But its only because I worked hard to get here. Ask away!

Oh yeah the unlaced boot thing, we have a couple guys, one in particular, that comes in, jeans, unlaced work boots, 10 lbs of keys hanging off his belt loop.

I hear what your saying but it's still embarrassing as hell to ask for help when I bench what most of you curl.

" Are you using that bar old man"

Dropping a weight does not necessarily indicate that one can not HANDLE a given weight. In my case, for instance, I may feel completely done at 5 reps. I instantly have a choice to make: go for another rep or put the weight down. I choose to push, powering out another rep. Then another split second decision: another rep or choose to QUIT. Since I am not a quitter I go for another. I barely squeak it out and I want to quit. My muscles are on fire but I go for another, get half way there, fight the weight for a second, then completely fail and drop the weight keeping some control of it on the way down.

BTW, i probably grrunt and grrowl profusely while lifting those last few reps but I wouldn't know because my ears are ringing from the effort.

I stand up completely spent. If someone wants to tell me I couldn't handle the weight they can FCK themselves as far as I am concerned.

People who only lift what they can handle never are able to handle any more. Then they complain that their lack of progress is because they don't juice or because they hurt themselves with some heroic injury.

Now the only weights I ever drop are squats and maybe rack pulls and I hate people who drop or throw weights when they're not even tired yet but when you see a guy pushing himself ro the limit, trust me, he isn't making noise to try to impress anyone. If he's working to the limit, he has complete tunnel vision on he lift and couldn't care less if people are looking at him or not.

If you can't give guys like this a fckn break, join one of the pansy "no judgment" gyms that only pass judgment on self-disciplined hard workers.

Why? Thats exactly why you should be asking. Dont think one of us got where we are without help. I dont ask the guys that are as strong as me for advise, I ask the guys that are the strongest.
 
good thread . shit i'm guilty of all above i drop weights now n than IL grunt cant control it if weight is nice n heavy.but what piss the fuck most is:
1: duds in peak hours taking two stations miles away from each other.i don't let that fly if you want pull that kind of shit get here early 3am .
2: that one maybe is just me those "boys" in gay ass outfits brr man how you call that shit swetshirts cut off above belly buton n thight 80's shorts with visiers on thweir hheads? homo?
 
JUST AN EXAMPLE

The amount of effort is entirely dependent on one's current ability. If a person struggles to press 100 lb dumbbells he is going to be just as taxed as someone who struggles to lift "180 lb dumbbells for 12 reps (btw I have yet to ever see anyone do that, so good job picking an example that is so far from reality for 99.999% of lifters).

Like I said, there's plenty of places where you can go to be free from people who are pushing themselves to the limit.

If you grunt more when humping or jckg off than you do lifting, maybe just maybe, you need to question your own intensity instead of judging others who honestly aren't thinking about anything except the war with themselves that they are waging in the gym. That personal war should be intense and sometimes it's even impolite.

People who go to gyms really piss me the fuck off. Come on you self absorbed meat heads, those cheetos ain't gonna buy themselves. If everyone gets J&D then how's a nigga sposed to hide in a crowd?
 
All the old guys in the locker room that walk around nude .

I agree. There's no reason to be naked for any more than 2 minutes. Strip, shower, get out and put some damn clothing on. Don't go having conversations, shaving, or braying your teeth nude. When I'm at the sink cleaning up I don't want to see your dick on the sink next to me.
 
I try to just avoid people in the gym, but there was a couple guys who pissed me off this morning. They brought in two bags and threw a ton of shit on the floor. Empty energy drink cans, all kinds of equipment and chalk all over the place. They fucking moved in... Then the equipment they brought, they never even used. Blocked off a squat rack, a leg press and a hack squat machine with all of their shit.

Have to agree. I swim after lifting and actually change twice in the locker room and I can honestly say I am never on display. Here's my system:

1-Take off shorts and undergarments (leaving tshirt on covering junk and a$$)
2- Put on swim trunks
3-remove t-shirt after swim trunks are fully on

coming back from swimming:

1- put on tshirt first
2- remove swim trunks (tshirt provides coverage)
3- put shorts back on

It's not that hard to keep the junk out of sight...I guess for the old guys walking around naked in the gym was the only way they could get their "gay" on.

I think it's because they're old and they just don't give a FCK
 
I cant stand the guys who look like they spend an hour getting ready for the gym. Fucking hair is all gel'd up. complete matching Under Armor outfit with brand new matching sneakers. Are you fucking kiddin me?

Friend of mine had a Bally's membership and I went as a guest once. Once. We got there and there were a few naked dudes wandering around the locker room, just walking up and down the rows. Did my workout and went into the locker room and the SAME dudes were still naked and still cruising the rows, nearly an hour later. That was my last trip there.
