What annoys you in the gym

[MarkVI]

When one of the gym staff decides to start talking to you even though you make it clear with your body language and lack of eye contact that you don't want to be bothered and then proceeds to tell you that doing sets with 30 sec rest produces a lot of lactic acid. You then have to put on an exercise biochemistry clinic because you can't let nonsense like that slide and proceed to tell him that you cannot arbitrarily combine two species - H+ produced from ATP hydrolysis and lactate produced from glycolysis - and call it lactic acid. This is the same ******* that told me I should get some glutamine for recovery. Herp derp.

Stuff like this....


That only thing that really annoys me is people asking me what I do/eat/lift/take and then cutting me off and explaining to me the mystery's and wonders of their nutrition and muscle confusion....but that's everywhere and not just the gym.

There is so much win in this thread. Even better than waking up to Folger's in my cup.

What did you say?

You obviously have no appreciation whatsoever for the divine taste that is Folger's.

Folgers tastes like dirty sand.... maybe that's the appeal?

Things that annoy me in the gym....

1. People who stare.
2. Squat rack curlers.
3. Cell phone users in the free weight section.

That is all.

[phal]

That's how you know how silly the off topicness has gotten.

Anyways, I hate it when someone is on the le...

HA












Whenever someone tries to talk to me when I have headphones in & won't wait for me to pause my music. If I EVER had to get someone's attention, I usually wave at them, wait until they take their ear pieces out and then ask them XYZ.

This. Besides the dumbasses that have to shadow box in the weight room this is second on my list.

I tend to ignore all outside influences when training but you can just tell/feel when someone is hawk eyeing you. Irritating.

Lol strong this.

My workout-partner do that between sets sometimes, and he's not even in to martial arts for real.

Awkward? Kind of.

lol..I use my phone to log my workout and make notes what I've done wrong/correctly


people that come to talk when you are in the middle of something

Another day I was doing BP and a old guy(that one that you see every day, who spends 3h in the gym, knows every single person and does weird exercises) came to ask where was my towel, but he came like:
''hey...''
I gave no attention, I was in the middle of the BP, but he wanted my attention at any cost and started:
''halloo, hey''

LOL back on topic

When people are finished with a bench and leave a huge sweat puddle on it and never bother to come back to wipe it off. Groce

As long as you quit lying about the lifts you put up. What's the point if you are the only one who views said log?

Put your weights back.

Also, please do not perform your dumbell exercises right in front of the rack you removed the weight from. Other people want to lift too!

[JasonDB]

People not squating to depth just so they can squat a little more weight, and lifting their ass off the bench on a PR attempt.

[ven33]

Oh yes I forgot to mention one. I had a quarter squater tell me I was using improper form when I place 5lb weights under my heels to help me hit ATG. I lol'd.

I do this, i was using 5lb plates now im using 2.5lb plates because theyre thinner, its actually really helping with my tight calf situation not being able to hit depth

[Ion26]

I text while resting between sets. Then again I have a texting problem in general...

right, because people actually text you

[likeawashboard]

I was about to use the leg extension/leg curl machine and there was this lady on it. I asked her if she had many more sets left as she was resting and she said she only had one. Then she got up and abruptly left, so I sat down about to start and I suddenly got the most rancid whiff of what could only be described as baked beans mixed with rotten eggs and smelly ass sweat, that bish phucking farted on the machine, made doing leg extensions so much harder to concentrate on. I wonder if she did it out of spite?

It lingered there for about 10 mins, was nasty/rant, yeah that annoyed me

[Chuck2600]

People that wear colonge or perfume to the gym

Haha indeed!
I even have a dude in my gym who always add wax to his hair in the changing room... BEFORE LIFTING. ??
