Just because the benchmark for fitness is that you can carry on a conversation while running doesn't mean you should do it every time. 
The gym I use at work is full of New Year Noobs at the moment and I find that really annoying - why cant we just say "Oi you over there - yes you with the giant gut and man boobs - you're never gonna stick this out so why dont you just bugger off now and leave the equipment free for those of us who take this seriously?" - I suppose we cant be that mean though
ah man... way to show support and encouragement!
Your probably right though.
So, I'm doing a fairly intense pullup/v-up exercise today, focused breathing, control, etc. Some knobgobbler comes up asking me questions about my usage of a piece o' equipment near me. Fuck you tard!! Are you unaware of my current state of IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FREAKING SET AND YOU CAN WAIT TO BOTHER ME A FEW MORE SECONDS OMFG STAB YOU IN THE EYE WITH A 45LB PLATE!

Apparently it was cable crossover day today at the gym. Every set of cables was in use for no less than an hour by various groups of retards doing 6-8 sets of cable crossovers at peak times. Makes doing any other cable work a little challenging.
And what is with people who have no concept of personal space? When you set up a bench it is obvious you're doing presses on and then some retard comes and starts doing a movement standing right beside your bench while you're sitting up between sets. I actually had to hit the guy with my dumbbell so that he would get out of the way. Oops, sorry about that...moron.

If someone is using a PT, odds are (though not always), they are new to weight training. I don't think that a trainer should be doing something like that to a beginner.
The should be teaching them the basic, fundamentals, of weight training; and not treating them like a circus bear.
They moved the little trainer area into the middle of the gym so everyone can watch. And they wonder why they can't keep any clients....
And I still hate the f*&%* guys that have to do bicurls on the fricken squat rack (2 oclock in the f*&#* afternoon and I couldn't do squats cause of some pisshead)

I don't work out at a gym, but I absolutely hate being spoken to while exercising. Well, simply being spoken to I can put up with a little though it's still distracting. But don't ask a damn question...
You people here understand.

I'm the same. Hell, I can't stand it if someone is with a few feet of me while I'm working out.
So i'm in the locker room and i'm next to this wrinkled ass nekked old guy... I'm sitting down putting on my socks, hes like 2-3 feet away.. He then takes a hand full of what i guess was baby powder and splashes it in his butt crack. I look up in suprise just in time to catch a cloud of ass powder right in the face.
I would have paid to see the look on my face.
I think i've been scared

i would hit them 2 but if i cant go 2 my school gym i have 2 go 2 the y and if i hit some one there they would find some dum reson to throu me out
me too-thought it was me.
I'll plead guilty to doing this, but I do it if the gym is slow typically on a sunday. I like it because the longer bar helps me stabalize with more weight. Its just a preference.
If you can't deadlift what you're curling, you've need to reassess your workout.

Hey I saw a new exercise yesterday! You know if you do chins and only have a range of motion from your nose to your chin, you can do a hell of alot more of them that way

you know, that is huge with the trainers in our gym.... do you really get more benefits from it?? As far as I can see, it's just strengthening your core.
He puts his arm on the halfball or stands on it?

They usually just pass it off as "functional training" just because they are using a stability ball. How functional is that though? How often would you be doing something that resembles that in real life, therefore making it functional.
Things like stability balls seem to have become synonomous with "functional training". I don't think most trainers even understand was "functional" is. Of course what is functional for one person may not be for another, it all depends on what they do.
What does this have to do with deads? I can dead lift roughly 4 times what I curl.

LMAO!
Our beloved TT was just trying to imply, in a rather humorous way, that you can use the oly bar to curl but you don't need to take up the squat rack. Just leave the bar on the floor and pick it up to do your sets. Hence the deadlifting what you curl.
Great news everyone - for the first time since the new year, the gym I have to use when I work away was empty of noobs - YAY! no more weighting for people to leave the treadmill (I only use this gym for cardio) whilst some guy that you know will have given up by Feb risks a massive heart attack by "Really going for it" - ah - all done by February 4th - the power of the New Year Resolution can not be doubted!

Ah ok......Moron is I.
Thats actually what I do, just that I take the bar fromt he squat rack not stand in front of the damn thing.
funny thing happened in school. I didnt know ehere to post this so I'll just post it here....
Two guys walking in front of me....
One of them goes to the other, "Are you working out today"
His friend goes, "Yeah, today is my biceps and back day"
In return, the other dude replies with the most outrageously surprising voice..." you work out your back?"
The way he asked that made it sound like his friend was the only guy on Earth to workout his back.

Lawl, I did a nice pull workout one day and went to class from the gym. My traps were still pumped when I got to class, and my professor asked me what the fuck was wrong with my neck?
