Pet Peeves at the gym

[DeadnBloated]

These are some of my pet peeves at the gym..What are yours?

People not returning their weights

Leaving machines dripping wet with their sweat

Dummies swinging their weights, bad form (i.e, squatting a ton of weight, only going down about 2 inches)

Grunting loudly even when pressing pussy weights

People bothering you when you’re lifting

People that ask your advice, you give it to them, and they dismiss it.

People that steal your machines when you turn your back for a second.

People that read books and magazines when doing “cardio” (Why even bother??)

Old and fat people that wobble around the gym without a clue…(probably by doctor’s orders..My advice to them: You’ve come this far in your life without doing anything healthy…might as well finish out the last few years of your life on a couch like you’ve always done grandpa)

Some women that walk around like they’re so fucking hot when they’re not.

Gym salesman that try to jack your rates when you need to renew your membership. (fucking used car salesmen!)

People that say “I don’t lift weights because I don’t want to get too big!” (trust me, you won’t.. pansy asses)

High school kids that are fat, skinny, or out of shape and pose in the mirror like they’re a pro-bodybuilder. Give me a break!

People that lift their shirt to show they’re smooth, ab-less stomach, to “wipe” the sweat off their face. (are you serious?!)

Stupid people in general.

Are you taking tren at the moment seems to be a lot of pent up aggression? I bet you feel better after writing that post.

People that lift their shirt to show they’re smooth, ab-less stomach, to “wipe” the sweat off their face. (are you serious?!). Confession time I do this (flame time).

OK my number one pet peeve is all the horny women at the gym who casually ignore me. Who are they kidding I know they want to shag me stupid. If only they knew I could give them the best 30 secs of their life (skip the foreplay get to the real deal, my top tip guys).

Good thread dude I am looking forward to reading the posts on this subject.

People who use the squat rack to do 5 sets of curls with the bar...this actually causes smoke to come out of my ears if I am waiting for a rack..

Rolling your shoulders when you do shrugs

Guys who sling 100lb dumbbells around then just let 'em drop on the floor. They bounce wherever and all in their way must look out. Guys must think it's hot b/c I see a lot do it. (GRRRRR.......)

 

[epoxy]

gotta agree with OP on people who sweat all over stuff and don't even bother to give it a mere wipedown. also i hate high schoolers all together, wish they'd just work out in their HS weightroom and stay out of mine

 

[mikea]

Grunting loudly even when pressing pussy weights

LOL! Quite a duchebag comment, so somebody whos not as strong as you should not go ahead and give 100%?

When i was coaching i would slap people if they didnt grunt

 

[sms8668]

There are 2 dudes who wear the same exact outfit every f****** day and work out together. My cousin is the trainer there and said they have the same clothes on every day of the week. I may bitch slap them next time. I am friggin heating up thinking about it.......DIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKS!!!!!!

They also do the shirt lift to wipe thier sweat, to show their baby fat off.

I'll grunt when I take a big shit, not when pressing weights...mikea = big douche

I think you are wrong DnB. I also think mikea is on point here. You have to start somewhere. Just because a dude cant lift mad weight doesn't mean he cant give 100%, and to go all out you have to give a grunt or three!

yea I'm not a fan of the grunting...but I'll cut em a break if they're trying their hardest.

another pet peave...guys working out in groups of 3 or more...they monopolize equipment

ditto on this one.

the rack, not the shrugs.

The people who think that the guys that make noises when they lift are silly. They really erk me. Their usually the ones that make sure to gel their hair before thay go and talk to everyone in the gym and stay for 3 hrs. Not to mention their the ones that stare at you when nude in the locker room. Fuckin perverts! Then they go to starbucks for a latte. These people are a disgrace to weight training. This isn't global gym guys. That=Douchebag

People with B.O. How can one not know?

I do the squating thing a the end of my last set. I do deep squats with 225, then a set parallel with 315, then my last set with 405 my legs have already failed at the weakest part of the movement ie deep, squat, but now I make them fail at their strongest part of the movement, then I set them on fire at the end of the last set with maybe quarter reps until I can barely stand. So if someone just saw my last set, I would look like a poser, except my legs are pretty stout.

Agreed, head phones are on buddy... no need to talk to me, I'm obviously busy. Made the mistake of wearing my US Navy shirt, old dudes wore me out talking.

Actually not everyone wants to be a bodybuilder, so who cares?

 

[mike honcho74]

When the dog shits on the floor in the basement and it stays down there looking at me during my whole workout

 

[Uruk Hai]

when my roommate comes over for a talk during my workout.

when my other roommate tells me my form is off when I know its not.

When my new wave play list randomly plays something super gay and I must stop and change it.

How about the guy who only ever does arm work, no matter what day you go in there, there he is doing DB curls with stupid amounts of weight that he has to swing to get up.

So true man, I absolutely hate those guys who only lift with their upper body, then when it all comes down to it and their out on the town at night they are telling people that they are bodybuilders!

You CANNOT be a bodybuilder with no legs!
