Things that piss you off while lifting

[BullOx]

Imaginary lat syndrome guys who keep hogging the machines and weights.
Guys who say they have 1 more set and its yours ends up taking 15 mins for that 1 set.
Newbies asking to work-in with you and perform same weight as you with bad form screaming.

[S3RB0N]

Well I won't be benching the bar at a time like that , if you know what I mean .........

[ChristoBr94]

What pisses me off in and out of the gym is why other people get mad and all butt hurt when someone does something they don't like. **** you and **** them who gives a damn if they have **** form. Worry about yourself. Dumb asses

[Raid1911]

Am I the only one in here with a ****ty spotter the other way around?

When I'm actually struggling my dick off he tries to "psych" me into doing more reps on my own by barely touching the bar and not helping me rep one or two more. This usually just leads to me recruiting shoulders and tris while benching just to survive the set. ****ing ****.

The spotter, thats totally me hahah, it's been some time since any of my friends asked me to spot them

It's threads like these that make me all the more grateful for a home gym, but back in high school we had the option to take a lifting class. The class was structured pretty well; it was all free weights and there was a heavy focus on compound lifts and our final grades were determined by 1mr in bench, squats, and deadlifts.

Anyway, we had to be partnered up with someone as a spotter for almost everything, which isn't a bad thing when the guy you're paired with actually lifts and knows what he's doing. But for one semester I had this really skinny kid and... oh boy this kid. He was a nice guy, don't get me wrong but if I had the option I would have lifted alone. The only time he'd do any lifts was when in was our turn in the bi's/tri's station, bench press, or core station. Heaven forbid this kid ever do a single squat in his life. When it was time to do squats, deads, or cleans he'd go over to the dumbbells and curl. Every. Single. Time. He hardly went up in weight the whole year, and of course I get bitched at by the teacher when I'm doing 205 for 4x6 in squats when he's over on the other side of the room curling when he wasn't supposed to.

Man, I have so many stories from that class I could fill my own thread.

My biggest pet peeve is the "personal trainers" at my gym. They love to bring their clients over the squat racks and use it for the most bizarre and silly exercises that too this day confuse me on what the actual goal of workout is.

[Zamininc]

People curling in the only powerrack.

When I go to my gym, it's mostly empty. But then I go to the powerrack and it's set to curl. AND IT'S ON THE WRONG GODDAMN SIDE

[stef6987]

People who let the weights go from a distance so when they land, the hole gym hears it.... why you no put weights down slowly?!?!?!
this one bloke today was flat bench pressing 20kg dumb bells, and just let go at full range, made the biggest noise... if i can slowly lower my 40k dumb bells, surely you can slowly put down your 20's -.-

[liamhammers]

people watching hard

[ryanmma100]

Spotters who help way too much. Hell i need a workout too.

[Khaos53]

When someone I know comes and asks me to spot them on squat (they ask in the middle of my sets so I'm cool with that) and then some other guy comes and takes what I was doing while I was gone.

Weight belts being used for curls.

[Baseball111]

The awkward moment when you get up from your dumbbell press and that 55 year old man in a cycling suit is db rowing 2 feet in front of you..

Weight belts being used for curls.

Belts used for everything, and the real problem is that the belt is waay too loose to support you even a little bit

[jgottsman11]

THIS. have a friend that's 6'3" 150 lbs. and thinks he needs a medium-large belt. I'm 6'0" 170 lbs and I wear a small. Tight as fuark = good lifting

[thousandmiles]

-when guy curling ton of weight swinging every rep and making the most sexually disturbing noises that overpower the music from my earphones
-when someone is using the only olympic bar in the gym to do ab work on the mats
-when someone is doing incline push ups in the squat rack
-when someone is doing dumbbell lateral raises in the middle of cables machine area when whole gym is free

[Mounakis]

people who occupy a bench or a machine since my gym doesn't have many (poverty gym) and they do nothing most of the time
a retard...literally retard who looks like a serial killer today as i was squatting and let the bar in the rack and went to drink some water took my bar and my plates and used them for his bench press...
i was mad...

also the stupid trainers...they tell me all the time that i m using to much weight for my age..a trainer today even said we shouldn t lift too heavy because the temperature is high...lol she s plain dumb
yea sure i m not gonna progress because u say it s too hot.strong logic

and some guy who sometimes goes and deadlift the bar of my friend when he benches because he thinks he will snap some sht up during the last 2 reps....while actually he can make it but it s just the LAST 1-2 REPS DAMMIT

[MattMHP]

People tryin to talk to me in the middle of a set

[JakeJohsson]

-when guy curling ton of weight swinging every rep and making the most sexually disturbing noises

This too, lmao

[lcabredo]

people who ask me how many more sets I have left. I feel rushed when they keep peaking over to see if I'm done. Cmon man, I like to take my time

[frozensparky]

-People who squat in the curl rack
-people wanting to work in a set on one of my five pieces of equipment I'm supersetting on
-people who set their weights down quietly, they're made of metal for a reaon people
-I hate when someone walks in front of me when I'm posing in the mirror in front of all the dumbells
-The iggnorant dick that trys to ignore me when I'm talking during his set, what you can't multitask
-a$$holes that want me to wipe my sweat off of the machines

[TorakFirenze]

what do I hate seeing in the gym?

- people who use equipment for like 10 ****ing sets.

- Erickanevsky



**** it, to be honest, I hate my gym (brb planet fitness, yeah IK). There's this one tiny ****ing floor guy who always comes and ****s on me for whatever.
Didn't put the 100s down quietly after DB bench (****ing sue me it's heavy), comes and ****s on me, squatting with no shoes, ****s on me (better for my knees), ****ing deadlifting (no PLing platform), ****s on me.. Lol I was like lol?

Oh yeah, then there's this ****ing personal trainer, who's like 5'10 and ****ing skinny as **** who always tells me how to train... I'm like, if I wanted your ****ing ****ty advice, I would have asked you to train me.



Sigh. /rage
I hate PF.

[bfmv69]

what pisses me off the most is when some person comes up to you and tries to tells you what your doin wrong when they dont know what their talking about and also when your lifting and someone takes your weight

Some old fat guy came up to me in the middle of a set of Lateral raises and tried to tell me to do it a different way like rear delt flies, I laughed at him and kept going with the correct way.

Only two clips in the whole gym. Either they're cheap or some phucks are stealing them.
