Any "That Guy" in the gym stories?

[LycanR]

How about the little dip****s who tear crap up and steal equipment at the gym?

This morning, 3 of the 6 cable stations were missing the "D" clips for the handles.

The safety bars have never been replaced on shoulder press. T

he pec deck looked out of order until I realized that some dip**** dropped the pin down the center of the weight stack - I lifted the stack up by hand far enough to get it to drop out.

The hot tub always has a layer of filth and foam that looks like it could be skimmed off and added to cottage cheese.

Nearly every adjustable bench is missing a knob.

The mirrors have spit stains at least 10 feet up -- doubtful they made it there during an intense set.

Anyhow...I could go on and on...irritating.

Sounds like you should look for a new gym

I work out in a college gym and for the most part the people there are pretty cool and I'm pretty familiar with most of them because it's usually the same group of people lifting when I do in the evenings.

Every now and then though, you'll get some guys who are on one of the school's sports teams, like soccer, baseball, basketball, etc, down there and they NEVER know what the hell they're doing and they're always clowning around, being loud and obnoxious, and they always leave dumbells and plates laying around, it's pretty annoying.

The best is when the baseball team comes in together, they all suck and apparently the team's coach doubles as their strength and conditioning coach and he lets them do stupid crap with bad form that doesn't help them in any way, shape, or form. We usually get a good laugh out of it when they come in, but they hog a lot of the equipment.

Hot tub in guy's locker room = giant dick cappuccino

[94jettameowpsst]

Theres a guy in my old gym that started lifting there when i was there....throughout the course of about 2.5 years or so. This douche started there probably weighing 265lbs and tubby....and to this day this guy is still probably 250 and still has a gut like he drinks a 30 pack everyday after his workout. He also wears straps and a belt for EVERYTHING....and his screaming and yelling while repping out 15lb dumbells curling with his straps and belt just screams body builder lol.

the guys that go straight for the bench press every time, and stay on it for like an hour, they have very skinny legs, almost like they are riding a chicken...

I am craving a FUPA Chalupa now.

[CelticTheTruth]

Last time I went to the gym about 2 days ago...There was "that guy" in my gym.
Firstly,he was maybe about 150lbs and very skinny and he used the bycycle for about 1hour like he has to get ride of some fat.
When he started doing lat pull-downs the most horrible way I've ever seen.
He hanged on the bar and tryed to pull it down with his whole body doing akward movements.After than he did cable rows the exact same way....pulled with his whole body.

Just ridicoulous.

believe it or not there is actually a guy that wears sunglasses in the gym day or night!

At my last gym tehre was a guy like that. Dark aviator glasses, jet black long hair pulled back into a ponytail. Always had a shimmer to it, like Segal style. Wore a white headband, black shorts, black shirt, black gloves.

[Dock_Rocker]

We have an old guy who wreaks of liquor every morning. He is kind of slumped over when he walks and he never says a word to anyone. You can say good morning or hey and he just looks at you, then the floor and walks away. The problem with him is he thinks that he owns every piece of equipment in the gym. You can be working with a partner and once you finish a set he will jump on the equipment while your spotter is getting set to go. At first I thought it was just me but I have seen him do it to other guys. We have had words several times, but he still does it. Everyone just ignores him now.

[BiggerTommorow]

I hate people with no common sense at all (majority of the gym). One of the more annoying things people seem to do often is bench dips using 2 freeweight benches, there aren't many freeweight benches to begin with and these stupid ****s want 2. Can't they use their imagination and only waste 1 bench... how about using 1 of the free fixed bench press benches since usually there are a couple not being used. My rant is over but its **** like this that go in the category of curling in the squat rack, how can you be so retarded.

[bukkake.toast]

Does anybody else think that at the gym you should be concentrating on yourself and not others? So what if some fat old guy does 8lbs curls with the pink plastic dumbells all day. He's keeping himself nasty so that you, in your small character and smaller confidence, can at least look somewhat appetizing in comparison. Be glad there are people like them in the world. Some toolbag uses the squate rack for curls? REALLY? Is your life that awesome that you have nothing of greater consequence to complain about than some random person in your gym?

For serial. End rant.

GOOD POINT!

No, I don't. I go to the gym solely to watch others. I don't even workout. I just stare at others while they work out, so I can run back here and post about it.


I think that those that take the time to read through this thread, and then criticize others for "casually taking notice of others in their immediate surroundings during their rest periods" should perhaps not be so oblivious in their life, because they might get hit by a bus if they always have such extreme tunnel vision.

[bazzi]

I got one for you....

There's this one guy who is so insecure he needs to take notice at what others are doing in the gym. Not so he can speak up and help them or say something to them, but so that he can go home and log into his computer and write / make fun of them on an internet forum....

What about that guy?

[chazzy1864]

I'm guessing that most of the anti-That Guy thread posters, are actually "That Guys" themselves, and have a slight bunching of their underoos because of it. So now they are trying to take out their anger on people who spotted them being a that guy.


I would love to see this happen in other facets of life:

*Burglar doing burglar things*
Owner of house: WTF Are you doing in my house?
Burglar: Hey! Hey buddy! Perhaps you should be paying more attention to the Disney movie on tv with your kids. You don't sit in the family room to pay attention to a burglar taking your stuff. Okay? You sit in the family room to spend time with your family and watch movies.

"Some toolbag uses the squate rack for curls? REALLY? Is your life that awesome that you have nothing of greater consequence to complain about than some random person in your gym?"

When I want to use the squat rack for the purpose it was designed for and someone decides they want to curl a 45 lb bar with maybe 10's on each side inside it, guess what? I get pissed and can't help noticing they look like a douche bag

[thehulkster]

Ok so I've only read through a few of the last pages but here are some of the 'that guys' that me and my various training partners have encountered

Bandana on the forehead with gelled spiked hair and cut off with too many tats to count. Pretty much any of these guys is a jabroni. One time I saw one start literally raving to the gay ass music the gym was playing...I just don't get it.

We call them a case 18: Anyone who is wearing a bodybuilding tank (shows off back muscles) who shouldn't be...not enough muscle, not lean enough, not dark enough, etc. This is a en epidemic.

ILS: Imaginary Lat Syndrome. you can see this in everyday life but more so at the gym. Flared lats like they are Jay Cutler and can't literally put there arms down.

Dude at my REC Center in College Station uses duct tape to wrap his knees while squatting and deadlifting...just buy some damn knee wraps. He's a Grad student and is known for looking like a triangle even by his non gym going students. Had 315 on squat and ended up 'sucking his own dick' as my training partner so eloquently put it. later told me I shouldn't deadlift because he hurt himself a long time ago and his doctor told him not too anymore.

last one: finished with my workout and am getting my bag outta the locker room...old creepy guy starts talking about wha'ts on CNN so I act interested for maybe a minute as I gather my things...he is literally stripping butt naked while carrying on a convo....seriously? really awkward.

Yes, it seems the uglier, more obese, hairy the guy is: the more likely they are to prance around naked with their hands on their hips openly. Its like they truly don't care..so why are they at the gym.....I honestly think they are probably old pervs looking for supple young men to molest

there is a guy at my gym that wears one shoe and one sandal but carries around the other shoe of the pair and usually puts it on the machine he is using... he looks like the bald doctor from scrubs so that makes it a bit stranger

old people do wierd stuff... i saw one using both handles on the cable machine soing some kinda swinging arm circles like he was swimming

he may or not be the same guy that gets on the seated curl machine (the one with two handles) and he goes LIGHT SPEED woth alternating curls

I hate people that wear hats to the gym. i guess thats is on me though... except flatbilled hat wearers. those guys are always "those guys"
