Things that annoy me at the gym: When other people are there.

a PT told me I was gonna break my back because I was arching it during bench and that I should listen to him because he used to work in a bodybuilding gym

[WonderPug]

People that squat in the curl rack.

[ErickStevens]

The only people that annoy me are the ones that slow my training down. So basically just the squat rack curlers/upright rowers/front raisers.

dogs in the gym

I've posted it before, but I have had a gym employee decide that out of 400 linear feet of mirrors it was time to clean the mirror directly in front of the squat rack I was squatting in at 4:30 a.m., when there were 6 people in the gym. Big bottle of Windex with its noxious fumes right in front of me as I am pushing out squats.

That was a person that annoyed me in the gym.

I simply cannot stand those goofs who think it's okay to set up their own personal circuit & take up 3 pieces of equipment at peak traffic hours. I take pleasure in seeing their annoyed expression when I ask to work in (& fck up the pace of their gay-assed circuit).

You're just mad they can finish "Wendy" faster than you.

Plus people that do not use deodorant, and people that scream and jump around for the attention.

Shadow boxing in the weight room in front of a mirror.

[lovingit]

Inconsiderate, Lazy fks who don't put their weights up when they are finished It is sooooo rude and obnoxious. Dumb bells in particular.

Yesssss. This X100000.


Also the old dudes sitting on machines for ages and staring.

Lol..truth. If you are man enough to lift it or load up the bar....should be man enough to put it all back.

Yesssss. This X100000.

Irritating as hell.

[fad3d]

Learn where the plates go, folks. The 45s dont go on the top rung and you dont mix big and small. It should make perfect sense - light on top, heavy on bottom...

omfg thiiiiiiiiis!!!

I watched someone take the BB from the row/shrug station (call it what you want, it's 1/2 a rack) and brought it to the ONLY squat rack and did shrugs there. (With the original BB still in the rack.)

My mind exploded.

[Ashlei]

People who stand immediately in front of the DBs doing their exercise so you cannot grab any they're blocking.
Sitting on the benches conversing when the gym is busy.

As well as the ones mentioned above.

[PerpetualMotion]

I've personally learned to mind my own business because you can never know the intentions of someone but I have some things I don't like:

(1) ****ty ROM - BRB 300lbs on squats and doing 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 reps. BRB 225lbs on bench but not even getting to floor press depth.

(2) That Guy Who Tries to One Up You - I hate this guy. He annoys the **** out of him and he's an *******. I was hitting chins today and only did around 7xBW with perfect form (if I hunchback I stop) and this dude out of nowhere comes and does 8 of the ugliest reps ever. My brother has had experience with this squatting. Some dude insists that my brother leaves the weight on there and he begins to do 1/4 squats. ****in' ****. I never have a problem doing less weight, less reps, etc. than other people. Don't understand this fascination with one upping.

(3) Hamsters

3. People who sit down at a station, pull out the phone & start texting/fake texting

But what if they're logging their workout!?! I do that but I do legitimately see some people sit there for 3-4 minutes on their phone. I like to stretch non-working muscles in between sets.

[BunkMoreland]

home gym ftw! i dont have to put up with any of these douchebags! the only thing that irks me is my reflection in the mirror, or when the cat walks up to my feet for a pet when im mid set on some sweet rack pulls

[Dujin77]

People who do not leave the equipment the way they found it, ****ing re rack your weights and wipe your nasty sweat off the bench.
Dumbbells being in the wrong order, yes it's OCD.
People using dumbbells while on the treadmill, doesn't really annoy me, but they are going to hurt themselves or someone else.

Of course, that was when I was still going to a gym and not lifting in my basement, which is awesome.

[Kirra]

This guy is pretty awesome:





I lol everytime I see him in the gym.

That's about 95% of my gym. It's rare if I see someone do a full rep of anything. I want to tear my eyes out every time I watch this one guy bench. He only trains his chest and arms, has legs like a 6 year old girl. He makes a massive arch when benching, his ass probably 6-10" off the bench, then doesn't even do a half rep, even with his body that far off the bench, and walks around with his chest out like he's the ****. I'm tempted every day to ask when he's going to do an actual rep.

Eery now and then though there is a breakthrough. Few weeks ago, this massive SOB, clearly a professional BBer, saw one of his buddies doing 1/4 squats. He went over to him when he was in the power rack, told him to do a rep, when he got to his 1/4 squat position, he grabbed his hips and pulled them all the way below parallel and said, "now that's a squat." I was proud.

[Christiffer]

Those *******s asking to jump in with me when I'm doing my circuits and killin my pace.








Not srs.

The ones who steal your equipment when you go to grab a drink. I didn't load up more weight and leave it there for nothing.

[phal]

About to squat 405, head down, ipod blasting, psyching myself up and waiting for the peak moment of a song (takes a minute or so) ... about to get under the bar, guy in the rack next to me stops me and asks if I want a spot. (While I am literally about to unrack the weight.)

I gave him a death stare for ruining my concentration. Said no, I don't need a spot. Proceeded to squat my weight, then watched him 1/2 squat 275 and almost fell forward into the rack while doing it.

Contemplated asking HIM if he needed a spot /trollface.

I figured you'd be kind of a big deal around the gym.

Just rack the 190lbs and pet your cat

[alan aragon]

I'm more like a "random Asian guy who's solid & thick & wears cargo shorts" kind of a deal.

[Dexter3000]

When you're lying on a bench and someone walks by super close and you feel like he's going to hit your dumbbell/barbell etc. it causes me to worry about that instead of focusing on the lift. Especially annoying when there is a hundred gazillion square miles of room around, and they just HAVE to get this close.

I always walk past others in a circle in order not to distract them..
