How NOT To Look Like an Idiot at the Gym

[jamesovercome]

So happy I bought all my own equipment and never wasted a cent on gym memberships.
No 10-20 min drive
More expensive
Never own anything
No wiping down other peoples sweat
Never having some gym employee tell you not to do something
No waiting on machines

Only downside would be no random women to stare at in my basement lol

I get why guys yell to psych themselves up for a big lift....or if they miss one and they're pissed. It's not my thing but I understand it.

That said, we've got a guy at our gym that yells constantly. It's a crossfit gym with a powerlifting section kinda in the corner. We're all in the corner doing deadlifts that day and this guy just goes off. Evidently he had to over exert himself to push for a record number of reps jumping rope. Yes, ladies and gents, yelling like he just pulled 700 after completing the jump rope. Gym idiot

definately hate the people who are walkin around the gym on there phone updatin there fb status or tweeting im at the gym pumping cuz ima hard nut. there the ones who are usually out of the gym as quickly as they go in and all they do is bench and curl and walk around and flex in the mirrors.

Who cares how someone looks at a gym, if you are worried about what people think then you have a weak mind. The only thing that makes sense is when people are stretching out by the racks etc. I recently on my last rep racked 280lbs really loud by this bitches head for being so stupid..she still didn't move. **** em! your there to work, **** everyone else.

Why is your rep in the red like mine? Did you not join the queer cult on this site for bro downs etc?

[gyminsight]

As a gym owner, who offers every new member an orientation combined with a free personal training session, I strongly encourage them to go and even follow up to find out what other incentives I can offer them to attend. During that orientation, my staff, in the most diplomatic way, goes over these very rules and also encourages them to come to management when they running into these rule breakers.

I am going to have to disagree with you about the "grunting". I am not saying that I am grunting every rep on every set, but when rep 7-10 come around on a heavy weight that I am introducing or working hard that day I find it really helps me. When I grunt on the heavier lifts it allows me to obtain more oxygen, as well as just pushing myself as hard as I can.

I am only in the gym for an hour or so, so if I want to ****ing grunt, I am going to do what it takes to get those extra reps for the results I desire.

I am not trying to impress women or 1 up anyone at the gym, I am there for myself and I am respectful at the gym. But when I am busting my ass I am not going to set limits or rules to how I sound.

This is just how I feel, but I know some people will disagree. But if you are not doing all you can do in the short time you are at the gym, then you arn't working hard enough.

I hate it when the roided out loser freaks are loud with their "weights" so they can be all tough like. I make it a habit to smh at them and lol when they notice me as I stick to my heavy calisthetics ( the natural way to be fit). bump

I was at the gym one early morning just about to get into a full on workout, this middle aged dude plonks his arse down on a bench next to where I was warming up. He lays down on the bench side ways, doing some kind o weight excersise. Don't know what he was trying to do. I just happened to glance past him and caught a full on look of his nuts hanging out of the side of his shorts.... Man I was finished after that. Didn't do S*** and went home.

i think he was using the bench as a bridge to do dumbell pullovers thats when you lay on the bench sideways and place youre feet on the floor.

But anyway yah the whole hanging nuts out of shorts thing is way to overrated, maybe he was just getin em some fresh air lmao!!!!!!!!!!

nice thread

-Don't hit on women because they're concentrating on their workout?

Are you kidding me? Girls do not go to the gym to work out, they go to be seen and to chit chat with their friends, be on their phone, etc... You must not be from America.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but what about the morons out there wearing cotton? It's been like 20 years since wicking material (polyester blends, ie. Under Armour, Nike Dri Fit) has been invented! And if you're not sweating bullets through your heavy cotton, you're not working hard enough!

Most of the time when guys wear cotton, its those stupid tank tops they've altered so at least one of their nipples is poking out at all times.

i could not disagree with you more. not every girl goes to the gym to socialize. at my gym a lot of girls and women are there every day busting there asses off. For example, i bring my sister in the off season of basketball and she puts in 100%. she leaves her cell phone in the car and only talks to me and concentrates on the lift. Even though there are girls that go to socialize you cannot say that all of them do.
