Daily log of things that annoy you IN THE GYM

[PrinceVegeta]

Update:

Things I hate @ the gym,

Fat guys doing 500 reps of weighted crunches...and then lifiting their shirts to check their ABS out

Skinny guys doing quarter reps ofr squats....in the smith machine!!

Women doing cardio at about 1mph...

Guys that come and train in packs of 5/6....

Big guys that have the need to scream or drop weights to get attention

This is some of the stuff i saw today...

 

[hook3]

when little guys in their forties try and mad dog you when you way a hundred pounds more than them

when tools who think they are trainers (even most trainers are tools... strange) walk over to the stairclimber and talk to women and try to impress them with bullshit talk instead of lifting a single weight

when women are more jacked than me... im 250 and pretty solid but their are some women in my gym that could compete with guys... pretty sure they have dicks

when tall fat guys try and do deadlifts and look like the backs might snap at any moment

when guys come in with a group of two and sit and talk shit saying that everyone in the gym is on chinese designer steroids... fuck you what is a chinese designer steroid.... you know nothing never come back in the gym

That really sucks ass Natzo. What the fuck was he thinking. It's awesome when you're in your own zone and you're struggling to get that last rep in, and some big dude comes in with huge fucking hands and pulls your elbows together to get three extra reps. Awesome...

So every time I land on leg day, there's always this black kid staring at me. He watches me squat. Then he goes to a squat rack, put the exact same amount of weight, and begins to "squat". No warm ups, no nothing. Straight to it. At one point I had two plates each side, so he puts two plates each side. It was basically a 3/4 squat (no joke). And his form was horrible he kept moving his feet around after every rep, his back was arched like crazy too. I was going to go up to him and help him because I was afraid he would break or tear something and everyone was staring at him. But eventually I didn't because some people should learn and apply a little common sense to these things. Who am I to go up to him and tell him what to do I thought.

This didn't annoy me, but it sure made me laugh like hell.

A middle aged guy struts up to a power rack. He has a look on his face as determined as the belt on his gut is tight. With purpose he slaps on three plates and begins his preset ritual He huffs, he looks at the ground and he psyches himself up. Then he throws himself under the bar, unracks it and... does something I can only call eighth squats. Not even quarter squats. An eighth of the range of motion every rep without fail. He even makes an agonizing face like someone is anal probing him while his left hand leaves the bar and reaches out towards the pin in an effort to balance himself. He'll work up to five plates and do some momentum pulldowns.

Old skinny men:
At 50-60 years old, your place isn't the gym, you're skinny and weak, what makes you think you could improve now, using wrong forms, no full rom, and the most funny part always the same excersise.They also keep a newspaper around and read it and comment about it.You wanna read and chat go to a bar and don't waste space and oxygen in the gym.

Personal trainers:
There are two types, somes are skinny and look like they never touched a weight, come in dressed like they are going to a club or some party, smelling like an escort, hairstyle of a model, and make their customers do basics or strange variations of basics excersise.They also talk about squat and deadlift being useless and that machines are the future.Then there are the "i'm huge and strong" types, they look like the average gym guy and they believe they are huge like Ronnie and got the knowledge of Charles Glass.Usually trying to impress ladies with some new god knows what is it excersise, never really training, always wearing tight t-shirt to show their "huge" guns

The crew:
The sad 30's club as I also call them.This 30 years old mostly guys who come in all together at the same hour, do always the same shit with the same weights, always looking the same, some of them wear belt during all the workout, chat with ladies, and give out pills of "knowledge" about training.What's mostly fun is when I train at their same hour and I'm deadlifting or bench pressing they look at me like I'm on gear cause I use weights they can only look at.Also they like to to 1/4 squats with a spottter, sometimes even 2 spotters, for safety reasons

Plenty of research to show that lifting weights is good for everyone of every age.

Might want to be a little less judgemental. You on track to be the gym arsehole and give all of us lifters a bad name.

I see no point in fat or skinny old man getting in a gym to waste time, cause that's what it is, a waste of time considering how they train.I'm on track of nothing, I just said the truth

What are they training for? Do you know? Or are you assuming they are wasting time? Just being active for a lot of that age group is great for them. Just getting them into the habit of doing any sort of training is often a start towards them retaining bone density, keeping health up, not having falls in older age and generally keeping a better quality of life.

So it sounds like you are that gym guy.

Training in a good way keeps you healthy, going to the gym, spending time reading newpapers, doing excersises in the wrong way, always same things, with strange pauses between sets like 4 minutes, 30 seconds, 4 minutes, ain't good for nobody.

Can't define others health by your goals or perspective.

Face it: gyms aren't for people who train, they are for housewives.

I can't stand it when guys sing in the gym. Happens all the time at my fuckin gym and drives me nuts.

 

[203MH]

This is my specialty... I could come up with a whole list if I sat and took my time with this

I hate people who EAT in the gym... I was doin a lap around the gym (I don't go to that one anymore) and some older guy on the exercise bike was on there grubbin like there was no tomorow

The other people who annoy me are the people who go to the gym and complain about not getting results, but don't want to put up work so they could get results... I saw one guy at my gym loadin up on nothin' but junk

Let's not forget the guys who come in on their lunch break and spend 60% of the time talking about politics n such

I think I speak for everyone when I say people who always come in offering unnecesary advice... such as the fat guy tellin the guy with a 6 pack how he should do his crunches...

The guy who thinks he knows it all - not long ago I was doin decline bench n this guy is like 'thats lower chest - the flat one is your center chest' and i cut him off 'yeah and the incline one is upper chest' and im just like 'thanks' and kept it movin... mind you ma lower chest was feelin pretty sore when i finished

Of course the LOUDDDDDDDDDDDDDD grunts

Need I mention guys who don't wipe the machines off

Ah, yes I get this too. Some people just whistle to a song. Some people are just born to be dumb I guess.

The only thing that bugs me in a gym is when people arnt polite. If im perving on a chicks bum while im taking an extended rest inbetween sets (to look at her bum) and she catches me doing it she could at least give me a curtesy smile BUT NO!... Usually a frown or a slap or a "settle down boyfriend"

Well that's why you position yourself strategically so you can stare at her ass in the mirror without her noticing.

Duuhhhhhh

LOL, funny cus here where i'm at, it's the same! the old people read the newspapers like you said, and their exercises are an abs machine in superset with pec deck for chest

The "personal trainers" think the same about squats and deadlifts, and don't forget the "retards" who are coming from the locker room, already equiped with a BELT! yea they're wearing it from the start to the end of the session, even if they do, triceps, bi's..or even some veeeery light warmups, etc. - this is what i hate the most, these fags

Every muscle mag has pros wearing a belt to perfrom every single exercise and rep.
Most gyms promote weight belts in this manner, either overtly or by extension of monkey see monkey do.

They have been taught to lift this way. Don't go hating on them because they have been poorly informed, just set a good example.

I hate seeing mass amounts of cock in the locker room. Hide your penis.
