The guy in the gym you HATE the most....

[ggarriso]

****heads who you ask for a spot and they basically deadlift the weight off your chest

X 2 on this - this middle aged dude literally straddled me from the front and proceeded to steal all my gains while sweating profusely all over my stomach and the bar -- felt homo (nohomo) - brb showering.

[teons]

that guy who does shrugs in the only power rack in the gym

those three ***gots who bench for 60 mins straight

[MentallyPhil]

Wouldn't say I hate anybody in my gym, but can't stand...

-Old people who have horrific form/looks like they're about to die/no idea how to use the equipment. Or wait next to me to finish and get all huffy puffy that I'm doing 5-8 sets lol ("Are you done yet!?")

-People who leave a warm and moist silhouette of themselves on a bench or seat. I will literally skip that machine/bench and come back later.

-The fat guy who only comes to the gym with broscience trying to talk/train everybody there while critiquing their form or training.

I try not to care about anybody there but sometimes its just hard not to

[ZPGLazarus]

The **** talker. Usually really loud, shouting profanities, and surrounded by his "bro's", he talks **** about other lifters and tries to act alpha. Between his 10 minute breaks of half reps and cheat curls.

The gym's a happy place. Anyone ruining that positive energy just pisses me off.

[Kblavkalash]

My current gym is very big but it's mainly student gym and i am surprised that i don't see any people who would affect me negatively.

One guy thinks he is amazing lifter when doing 135lb clean & jerks always shouts on the whole gym, but apart from that it's very cool.

p.s. i am the guy who uses the squat rack for whole hour straight (SQ, FSQ, SLDL) so i guess i am annoying for some lol

[Gordon Bombay]

The guy who smells like swamp ass

[WhitePeril]

The guy who smells like swamp ass

Ugh that's even worse

[EpicenterRex]

I always get a giggle with the people in the gym with invisible lat syndrome

it's the complex where people typically 14-18% bodyfat walk around like they can't put their arms to the side like a normal person trying to make it appear they're more jacked than they are, then they proceed to stare in the mirror at every single workout they do.

[ZezimaHD]

E v e r y o n e (including myself)

[Hexas]

Young arrogant *******s that think theyre big/better than others.

[Blowmahheadoff]

I don't really hate him, I just dislike him a lot.

There's a kid in his early 20's that started going to my gym a few years ago. His stats were around 5'7 @ 150-160 when he first started. Anyways, he used to ask me all these questions about form and what to do and sh!t... I was always nice to him, always give the guy advice. Anyways, last year he started teching with a terrible diet (waste of tech) and started getting a big head when he put on 20lbs (Sits around 180 @ 20%), studies kinesiology and is now that guy in the gym who tries to talk to everyone and give them advice about how to lift. He'll yell to people across the gym spewing out a bunch of nonsense that he thinks is funny. Dude is annoying as fuark. Drives me fuarking crazy. I don't even take my headphones out to say what's up anymore.

[Molec]

Edit: Theres another guy who goes to my gym. Literally all he does it stare at one of the TV's or his cell phone. Barely does any weight lifting. To make matters worse he's just got that look of someone you just wanna KO. Then sometimes he'll be on his phone while sitting on a machine or bench. Also he carries around a notebook to keep track of progress. THis ****er will do 3 sets the entire times he's there.

If he's not bothering you, whats your problem...just mind your business and ignore him

[JAGERBOY]

So many. One comes to mind.

Guy that obviously is trying really hard to look cool/tough. Wears a wife beater every time to the gym. Wears lifting gloves. Always has a $hit eating smirk on his face like he's thinking "yeah I'm the most jacked dude here". In reality he's 6'3ish, big, but nothing impressive. Just looks like a dude that was naturally bigger and has been lifting for a few years. Also he never does legs. The other day he left the gym still wearing his lifting gloves and only wearing his wife beater. It was 10 degrees.

[chappy86]

Me gym hate grino. Me ties to talk to him bout his workouts but he dosent wuant to speak with me(so i eyeball him to learn). Probly cus of my broken english (from mexico). Must be rasceist gringo.

[CherryPopinski]

D. All of the above

[nastynate87]

Two guys who do crossfit during rush hour. Literally spend a half hour going back and forth between kipping pull-ups and 135 dl's.

[Kezzyukbrah]

Also forgot the old kunts who dry their balls in the changing room hand dryers like das not it mane. Aint nobody wanna see dat chit

[AwFukHi]

Guy who uses like 6 machines at once srs. You see weight on the bench, the decline, the high row, the seated chest press. You use it and he comes back and days excuse me I'm using that. Wtf no one been on it for 5 mins and he randomly appears when yor on it. Also *******s curling in squat rack

This.

One guy walked away from a machine for fifteen minutes and used another machine. A guy asked me if anyone was using it and I go "lol nope" and he proceeds to use it. Guy comes back mad and shaking his head. It's a busy as fuk gym. You can't use five machines at once. Sorry brah.

[LurkoLantern]

I can't hate on resolutioners, because they usually leave the squat racks vacant. There might be a line to use the benches for awhile, but the rack area is a virtual ghost-town.

I have a problem with the people who use the machines/benches as their personal chairs/waiting area. I was told very early on in my lifting career that if I wasn't using a machine at that exact moment, I shouldn't be on it. I can rest elsewhere. Meanwhile, sweaty mcgee is just sitting there for five minutes, staring blankly into space.

There's a guy in my gym that makes crazy, almost tourrets-level noises. Like he's having some kind of internal argument while he's lifting. Everybody in the gym thinks he's crazy.

[Groce]

-Old people who have horrific form/looks like they're about to die/no idea how to use the equipment. Or wait next to me to finish and get all huffy puffy that I'm doing 5-8 sets lol ("Are you done yet!?")

If you are doing 5-8 sets you better offer to let them work in or you're one of those *******s I hate too

[Budjola]

Students who just talk around machines and waste air and space in gym.

[eight-pack]

people who lift right in front of the db rack so you can't get to any dumbbells. i just force my way in there anyway. a few even asked why I couldn't just wait until their set was over. Usually just bertstare at that point

weight hoarders. this one bish hoards 3 machines at once as well has several pairs of dumbbells and doesn't let ANYONE work in with any of the equipment. other day I decided to troll her and moved the towel sitting on the lat pulldown machine to use it. Sure enough, she came back and said, "I was using that." I just said, "No you weren't. You're using those 3 sets of dumbbells over there. I'm using this." Then she went and told the front desk lol

lastly, anyone who hogs a piece of equipment for any prolonged amount of time whether the gym is busy or not. Some chit head used the only squat rack in the gym for 45 minutes for some crossfit chit.

generally, I zone everybody else out and just focus on what I need to do but if some retard is gonna do some annoying chit then I'm going to let them have it

[ameindel]

Oh boy...

I guess I'm one of those multi station hogging ****s since I train in a Steve Michalik/John Defendis Intensity/Insanity style and sometimes am round robining up to eight different exercises.

In my own defense, I workout at a time when there aren't usually many people at the gym and I'm also more than happy to work around anyone who wants use any of the stations I'm using.

[annutize]

The guy who told me to only go down 6" on leg press instead of going all the way down until it hits the safety knob.

[arlo235]

I don't hate anyone. I just get jelly at the really strong people who are the same age or very close age.

if you're letting people work in then that's not as bad. but everyone else i've encountered has been like "NO DIS IS MYNE GO AWAY!!"

[annutize]

The guy who tries to work in with you when you're deadlifting because they're too lazy to find a bar and set up their own station.

[annutize]

I don't hate anyone. I just get jelly at the really strong people who are the same age or very close age.

Me too, but it's not so much about age as with weight. There was this guy at my gym yesterday who looked average as fuk and be benched 325x2 (slow, controlled reps with full ROM). By looking at him he looked like he'd struggle to hit 185x2. There were also these manlet mexicans deadlifting 315 for 5-10 reps easily when just a little bit ago I almost broke my back deadlifting 315x1.

[annutize]

Also, the dbag middle aged white guy who is loading up 405 on the squat rack up with do down 5" like a sissy b%@#$.

[RedNegAid]

Clearly overweight guys, with arms that one can mire, using squat racks and similar equipment for curls. Close tie with guys with upper bodies that you mire but have scrawny chicken legs... or the big, hulking guys who have never used any free weight.

I will add my recent encounter today... Anytime you are doing heavy squats or deads, and you spot some pimply faced kid behind you, doing lady bicep curls and trying to position himself so he can mire himself in your mirror (e.g. mirror bombing?)!! I raged and had to remind myself not kill him and his friend... even if it would be considered a mercy killing that benefits society.
