Let the New Year Rush Begin!

[Scout200]

Now that the New Year began, I'm sure you're aware that the gym gets busy... Do you feel more motivated to go to the gym when the New Years resolution people come to workout or do you feel more discouraged?

 

[duey]

im no more motivated then usual. but i do get more annoyed though. since there
is more people and it takes longer to workout. but it usually on stays that way for
a few months.

 

[nerdalert]

I am not any more motivated and I also get annoyed more quickly. How dare these newbs disrupt my workout routine..lol

This is the time of the year that I revamp my things that should get you kicked out of the gym list.
1) Wearing any type of sleeveless shirt with pants, unless you are a pro bodybuilder, if it is cold enough for pants, its cold enough for sleeves
2) Doing curls in the squat rack
3) Talking to me and asking me what I do, what I take, do I need a partner
4) Wearing jeans and your douchebag t-shirts to workout in
5) Talking on your cell phone between sets
6) Having a cigarette in your ear
7) Talking about how wasted you are going to get tonight
8) Hitting on every girl in the gym, good looking or not
9) Attempting to do squats, either free weight or smith machine, putting way too much weight on, and not even breaking a quarter squat
10) Asking someone how much they bench

This list is just the beginning, I'm sure there are about a thousand other violations that should result in dismissal from the gym.

Ha ha, Very clever!!

It happens just like you say it. Where I go...it's full, then people start hard and don't come the next day because they are sore. In fact by the end of the month only the old dogs at training keep coming.

They are also onlookers that get amazed by how much you squat, bench, or do in incline leg press. And say "You're so strong, how do you do it?"...answer "dedication"

Nice! Let me ask you... When you see a newbie doing something improper (ie bad form) or dangerous, do you speak up or just let them be?

 

[ArraTonks]

I don't let them be. They might injure themselves. Most of the times I tell them how to do it properly. Usually a visual example with little weight is enough.

I think the most difficult part is to teach a newbie how to squat

I'd like to add on to this if i may:

11. Driving around in circles in the parking lot for 15 min because now its full all the time.
12. Unracked weights!!! always a biggie
13. Asking someone how many sets they have left and them telling you 8..then proceed to go get a drink of water.

Couldn't have said it better myself....I Hate the New Year crowd.....then a few months later....the spring break crowd....that might even be worse.

Flamingo Curls. All the girls that stand on one leg and do 100 curls with 3 pounders.

Guys that do their curls right infront of the mirror by the DB rack.

I will add:

Cellphones...talking or texting in the middle of the weight floor.

Chicks who sit on equipment and spend 10 minutes picking a song on their Ipod...then using the equipment for 11 seconds.

9 guys doing 3 HORRIBLY incorrect reps on a bench for 40 minutes.

The creepy guy who follows you and does EVERY thing that you just did.

LOL, i hate the guys curling in the squat racks when I wanna squat

I have tried correcting people on form before, all I got was "I can get more weight this way" Yeah bud you can but your just gona hurt yourself jerking like that and your not gona grow you tweeker.

Now..unless they are going to cause instant harm I let em learn the hard way.

I have Achilles tendinitis in both my legs, a few bad joints, and other damages I have done. Each one a graduation from the school of stupidity. Let them earn their diplomas if they so wish it.
