You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that youre a god or a total bastard. The iron will always kick you the real deal. The iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends come and go, but 200 pounds is always 200 pounds. -Henry Rollins.

Bad Gym Etiquette to think it's a Disney Princess Playground. If I'm lifting and one slips out: that's life. Bad Zoo Ett. for Lions to fart after they eat?
This isn't Disney Princess Yoga Playground: it's a gym. You work, sweat, smell. If you're not sweating and smelling by the end of your session....wtf you doing?

Groups standing around in front of equipment just talking do piss me off. You're not workin hard enough if you can carry on like that.
Though I've gotta agree with Iceman on the rest. Get over yourself. Join an all woman's gym like curves if it bothers you that much."The worst thing I can be is the same as everyone else. I'd hate that"

Is there a post about overweight Personal Trainers trying to tell people how to exercise to lose weight?
There also should be a rule about said personal trainers (or anyone for that matter) making up hugely complicated workouts that take up half the gym. Example: Balance on this ball, lift one leg, curl with your right arm while catching and throwing a medicine ball. The the personal trainer is like, "this is defining your core!".
Great post by the OP!

LOL so true, theres a fat bald trainer at my gym and his listed experience is: Nutritionist and weight loss coach
gets me every time.
Today, basically no one decided to rack anything after they were done. It didnt get in my way, but after I finished my last set of lifts, i racked all my weight and started to put **** in my bag. An employee came up and said "you need to rack your weights before you leave"
Kinda pissed me off lol, but I smiled it off and racked every weight in the room in its correct place. If only he would show up to tell the ppl who actually dont rack their weight to do it, but thatd just make things too easy

I burp like a mofo when I work out. You know how annoying it is to do deadlifts full of gas. Farting on the other hand I go to the washroom and let er rip. I dont think I should force people to smell my noxious gases, I eat some rank stuff. I drink alot of water also, like a between every set so I swallow lots of air.

You know what I hate the most? The locker room. I saw this old dude just sitting NAKED on the bench between a row of lockers, RIGHT BY THE ENTRANCE, reading a newspaper. Listen, I know you might be comfortable being naked, but seriously, no one wants to see your old crinkly balls dangling around while you spend half an hour reading the morning paper.
Do you think people get off on that or something? I sort of think people do it on purpose and try to stay naked as long as possible, especially the older guys with graying hair and a bit of pudgy on them. Seriously, are you just waiting for some dude to walk by so you can drop the soap? I don't get it.
If I try my best not to look, I feel gay because that must mean I'm not comfortable with myself (or does it?). If I just act like I don't care, I feel gay because I'm not trying my best not to look. It's a paradox. Why would you want to spend as much time as possible naked in front of a bunch of other dangling penises anyways?

Plenty has been said in these forums about the old naked guys in the locker room, drying their balls with the hair dryers and reading newspapers (so many of them read the paper in the STEAM ROOM. WTF, really!?). I have been noticing, more often lately than ever, a slightly more disturbing issue:
Why, oh WHY, when I am showering in an empty stall, in an empty shower, do old guys pick the stall RIGHT NEXT TO MINE to shower? I'm not overly modest, but I also don't feel like taking a shower 6 freaking inches away from you, buddy! Not to mention, they always seem to be lathering up hardcore, and I almost threw up the other day when some old guy's soap flew off of his body onto me.
Talking to me naked, doing toe touches or complicated stretches in the steam room right in front of me, I can get over...just please, Grandpa, stay the hell out of my personal space in the showers. There are like 7 other, open stalls that are open and not within touching distance of my junk.

I don't personally drop the weights or "chuck" them. But the gym floor. And the dumbbells are coated in rubber for a reason. But I get your point! Check you my YouTube video if you search gym donts I'm the one in the red top. Very funny

Not only this, but they have no right to complain about staring when they are wearing something like that. If you don't want men to look, then wear something more modest. It will not hurt your mile time I promise.
Just joined a new gym, and it's full of stupid. One in particular, skin tight under armor shirt, due rag and 160 lbs soaking wet. Grunting on every rep of a 20 rep set. Then proceeds to toss his dumbells wildly after he's done. I don't mind grunting, but seriously I doubt the first rep in a 20 rep set deserves a grunt, not to mention he's bound to hurt someone by tossing his dumbells.

I hate it when I'm doing a set, and a fat old man tells me DURING my set "my form is wrong."
I'm doing Barbell Rows, and he says "no one ever trains their back anymore, what's wrong with you?"
He then proceeds to tell me to use machines because freeweights are better and to read magazines and to listen to the advice.
That old man pisses me off so much. Like a couple of days ago, when I was doing OHP, I heard him talking to this other fat guy while he was doing his set and he says "look at that guy in front of us" (points to me). I'm thinking 'srsly old man, f*** off u mad that I don't listen to broscience and do freeweights'?Always Pick 3 Crew

dude, really? i mean. there are variables i guess. when i was in military, sometimes we had like 12 showers one open room, no partitions. if his gym is something like that, damn right, scoot the hell over. no sense in getting close enough to hit you with his soap. thats gross.
thing is, they usually do want men to look. agreed with your post 100%.Not stopping cut till I look good "douche'n it up" by running without a shirt

I can't stand it when one of the yoga pantsed Cardio girls that def. hasn't been doing cardio for very long: goes into the rack with 2 5lb DBs and does the most awkward attempts at bicep curls ever...and the only other one has someone actually squatting in it...so I have to wait 20 mins for some awkward ROM sets to proceed.So I then go and try to get some incline lateral raises in and find another yoga pants clad girl using the only open bench as an Ipod holster. Literally doing nothing with the bench other than holding her Iopd.
Saturday was not fun...until I hid that Ipod.
p.s. Yoga Pants FTL

It has nothing to do with whether or not they are gay...it has a LOT to do with them splashing their nasty shower water on me (at my YMCA, shower stalls are separated only by a partition, and are open in the back, on the top, and the bottom...if you are showering next to someone, their water WILL hit you). And I'm not talking about if there are only a couple of stalls open...our shower has 10 stalls, and if 9 of them are open, why pick the one right next to mine? Once, an old guy soaked my towel, which was hanging on the bar above MY stall.

When people are resting on the equipment while talking on their cell phones or texting. Very annoying.
I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.
