How to act in ther gym?

How to act in ther gym

#1 Don't stare at a dieting bodybuilder who is stuck on the treadmill. He doesnt want to be there (he wants cake) and isnt in the most friendly mood. Even though you may only be appreciating the body that he developed, he will probably still bare harsh intentions toward you!

#2 Dont stare at the fitness bunny on the treadmill either. If she cant kick your butt, her dieting boyfriend on the treadmill next to her probably can.

#3 Dont talk to people in the middle of their set. Like so, " Excuse me! Yes you with 400 pounds on your back, do you have many sets left? Id like to do my crunches right there!

#4 If you can do an exercise in a space that doesnt require any gear, do it. Dont do curls in the squat rack, leg raises on the bench press and dont sit and talk on a bench when someone might need it.

#5 Like the above, dont stand two inches from the dumbbell rack to do your laterals, people need to get in and out of there to get at the weights.

#6 Dont use half of the cable crossover to do one arm triceps pushdowns and the like. The crossover machine is for chest and requires both halves. Use an independent single pulley somewhere else.

Not Funny Cell phones: At least get off the bench for the conversation.

#7 The weights have homes. They like their homes. When they dont go home, they get angry and do mean things. All the little dumbbells go together and all the big ones go together. So no 15s up by the 120s. The little plates have homes also. See there was this one time during a personal training session where I grabbed a 45 off the leg press. What I didnt see was that someone had put a 25 in front of it instead of on its own peg. Off came the 45 in my hands and down went the 25 on my foot. This is a great way to learn composure if your interested.

#8 If a book or shirt is on a bench, someone is trying to save it because they are doing exercises back to back. These are called "super sets" and the guys that do them are usually super big. It sure is awkward to be sitting there picking your nose when bubba comes storming around the corner. Its such an easy thing to wait a second to find out or to ask someone if they are done on the equipment.

#9 While its o.k. to use a couple of machines if its not peak hours, dont monopolize the gear. You cant reserve a treadmill for an hour while you run back and forth from the weights to the treadmill to do circuit training. Boy, this one really ticks people off.

#10 Watch out for I.L.S. Invisible Lat Syndrome. This is where even though there is nothing under your shirt; it looks like your carrying around two beer kegs under each arm. People are laughing at you.

#11 Wipe your sweat off of the gear; no more needs to be said. Actually yes it does, especially if Im going to be putting my face in there on the lying hamstring curl. Wipe it off!

#12 Change your gym clothes and don?t put them on after they have been fermenting in your locker for a week. Strong in smell doesnt count!

#13 For the manly, there is a new invention called "deodorant". It runs a close second to something called the "shower". Check it out.

#14 It is right and proper to ask someone for a spot on an exercise so you dont hurt yourself. The only thing to keep in mind is that your requests dont interfere with someone elses training pace or that you become a hindrance because your always using a weight that is too heavy for you.

Like wise, dont ask the personal trainer for a spot while he is in the middle of a session with someone else. At $50 an hour, your spot just cost someone $2.50.

#15 Ladies: No more pink thongs over black spandex, please! Dont throw them away though because they may need extras if Miami Vice makes a come back.

Guys? Retire a shirt when it starts to walk on its own.

Gross Funny Fitness This is strange to me but I better mention it cause I seen it happen. Don?t blow "farmer snots" on the gym floor. Really.

#16 Dumbbell presses. If you bring your knees up on the last rep, you can put the dumbbells on your knees with your arms straight and ride them until youre in the upright position as you drop your knees. This way you wont have to drop them from four feet causing a thunderous boom that scares the crap out of everyone and bending the dumbbells so they look like 100-pound bananas.

#17 For the guys, if your going to shave, comb your hair, brush your teeth or whatever in front of the mirror, keep your cloths on. As comfortable as you may be with yourself, we dont need someone we dont know selling hot dogs in the locker room.

ive done this a couple times cuz there was no1 else around

[Becker51]

Iv gone to grab the 15 lb dumbell once for something and ya know what was there? an 80 lb dumbell...that pissed me off...i looked where the 80 was...there was my 15...is it hard to put it back?

[Kilburn]

fuk your pansy list, here is the real list:

1. grunt when you get your swell on so that everyone can see how jacked and tan you are.

2. you're a bodybuilder, you have a big ego, stair other people down. Everything you do should look menacing and powerful.

3. spit your game at every piece of cardio bunny pussy that walks in the door. if they don't like you forget about em. ****in' skanks anyway.

4. make as much noise as you want, you're lifting heavy ****, people have to respect.

add more?

[hellabutt]

most of that bull**** doesnt even apply to my gym because i dont live in fukin los angeles. i live in a relatively small town where people already know how to act towards others in public and they care that there actually is a good gym located in such a convenient place. write ups like that suck because they assume that all people are stupid asses. we dont have those problems at my gym, people like that dont last very long there.

[Mady4Real]

i sufferd.

#3 Dont talk to people in the middle of their set. Like so, " Excuse me! Yes you with 400 pounds on your back, do you have many sets left? Id like to do my crunches right there!

#5 Like the above, dont stand two inches from the dumbbell rack to do your laterals, people need to get in and out of there to get at the weights.

thats what i hate the most.

#4 If you can do an exercise in a space that doesnt require any gear, do it. Dont do curls in the squat rack, leg raises on the bench press and dont sit and talk on a bench when someone might need it.

Clarification on this?

Not sure what they're talking about...

[Kilburn]

it's how you walk.

if you walk like you're huge when you're small you look like a tool basically. it's a dumb and obscure reference.

[MissThing]

don't do your lateral raises right next to someone that's deadlifting. use your brains!

I had a memeber of staff do this isht once. I ws praying the barbell would bash her legs and knock some sense into her

So you've never seen the guys walking around with their elbows 6-7 inches away from their rib cages? You know, just standing at rest & not doing anything?

You must be joking.

Bull****, thats being ignorant to everyone else in the gym by hogging the equipment..if you aren't there using it then its free game. I guess I can just bring a bunch of items and place them on equipment I plan on using that day so I can reserve it and do back to back exercises with no interruption..I don't think so.

Other than that I agree with everything.

Here's one to add to it:

If your 16, 125pounds and really really excited to be at the gym, that neat. However, don't run around like a coke head giggling, shouting to friends and acting like the big dog on campus. Everybody bigger then you thinks your a tool and wishes you pain, Deep, Hurtful pain!
