Why wont people stay out of my face when Im lifting heavy?

[Uk Boy]

Every other session it seems somebody will come over and start telling me about this broads ass or their new wheels or how they benched three plates each side for reps the other day or how they were mad drunk at the party last night or their new fucking nikes or how I should try this exercise or that and they dont even consider the fact that Im under a shitload of weight trying to squeeze out a 4 or 5 drowning in my own sweat about to buckle and they just carry on.
Then they sometimes get you when your in between sets and focusing on the next exercise and you find yourself going under the bar about to begin hoping that they fuck off so you can concentrate on the set and they dont.
Motherfuckers.


Does anyone else have this type of problem at their gyms?

 

[t3project]

nope, i dont lift at a gym..............lol

 

[Insane_Man]

Nope, never had this problem. I'm just in and out of the gym 3x a week, no bullshit.

What bugs me is when I ask someone for a spot and they decide to become my cheerleader.

I know EXACTLY what you mean bro, that's why I bought a portable MP3 player, now if somebody talks to me I don't even know it. Fuckers, I'm here to lift not swap recipes.

Yeah and you know what man. When you specifically tell them not to touch the bar until you tell them to and as soon as you begin your first rep, they have their fingers under the bar.

You know its really funny you should mention mp3 players because I was looking at one the other day for this very purpose.
I saw the Nike Sports mp3 player with the armband attachment for £99.99

Not just that, but they get all into it "YOU CAN DO IT MAN, 2 MORE REPS!" I mean on the last rep it's not so bad, but when they start getting all Tony Robbins on the first rep it's kind of annoying.

Both squats and deadlifts require a lot of concentration for me, and If I go to my gym a bit earlier than I normally go, there are these guys that I call the cheerleaders. They never seem to show any progress of their own. They are constantly standing around yelling Fuck yeah!, Awesome, Holy Shit that's alot of weight. I had to tell them a few days ago that I need to concentrate and the cheering doesn't really motivate me but I appreciate their enthusiasm nonetheless. I hope they got the hint that heavy lifting requires concentration.

Hop on that thing bro, working out is so much more enjoyable with some metal blasting in my ear holes.

An MP3 player will be your best friend, even if you don't have it on you can pertend you do so you ignore whoever talks to you, since i started using one i cannot train without it.

Yup. After about a month of that bullshit at the rec center, people trying to talk to me, give or get advice, cheerlead, etc. I had to go out and buy an MP3 just so I could ignore their asses. Now, even if it's not on, I just act like I can't hear anyone.

do what i do. if someone starts bothering me i will just squeeze out a nasty rank ass fart and completely ignore what they are saying. trust me, this works. i am known as the hermit at my gym. i dont talk to anyone and if someone starts a conversation with my i will just rip out some invisible shit right next to them. the drawback is that sometimes it is actually liquid shit and i will squeeze a bit too hard. fuckin hershey squirts.

 

[syko]

LOL!
just get a shirt made up that says..."Talk to me and DIE!!!" on the back and on the front it says ..."FUCK OFF!"

Hell, I come too close to getting thrown out of the gym as is. I don't need another strike on me.

Shit man just put the headphones on and tuck the cord into your shorts and give blank stares like your trying to read lips when people talk to you and ignore anything coming from behind you.

I hate those gym chatting buddies!!!!

Got more Jeff Reader problems?

Just gimme his address man, I'll have him taken care of for you

 

[laganda]

I dont say 2 words at my gym....I have made know effort to get to know anyone abnd thats the way I like it...a silent warrior!
I avoid all converstation and train with a minidisc player cranked in my ears.

 

[house1]

put headphones on bro--

everyone knows not to talk when there on--nobody likes to come near us anyway lol

 

[huskyguy]

I try to be quiet and simply lift, that is why I am there. It never fails I get the people who come up to me and pat me on the chest saying nice pecs dude. Or they say dude you are freaking huge. Hell I like the compliments but I also like to be left alone when I am lifting heavy. I need to concentrate when I am lifting heavy.

 

[rubberduckyo]

I actually had a lady at the gym come up and attempt to introduce herself to me while I was in the middle of my last set of deads!!!

I could not believe it! Guess she thought I was rude since I didn't respond but I honestly couldn't. All I could think was, "Lady, this is really f-ing heavy! Shut up!!!"
