Are You A Gym Idiot?

[BostonBlue]

You're a gym idiot if you spend all your time critiquing other people and don't focus on your own game.

Burn.

[dawgs28]

my friend is a gym idiot because his motto is "bench and curls for the girls"

[Goose102]

You're officially a gym idiot if you go to the gym in jeans, a button up shirt, and boots...
(That is, if i don't seem them doing atg squats or deads).

[pphilly51]

most trainers at my gym are gym idiots excluding a few

trainers/people who believe 90 degrees is a magic number for every lift so you dont injur yourself

if you drop any dumbell under 55lbs your a gym idiot even although some lifts there is not reason to drop weight at all

jeans and a tight american eagle or similar brand t-shirt doing curls and bench press are gym idiots

the crazy dude who you see walking around the locker room naked before and after your workouts is a gym idiot

holding buckets FTW

[TheAdlerian]

If you expect perfect behavior from people at the gym, you're an idiot.

[jules_d1]

You sign up for a twelve month gym membership and only go four times in that 12 months, that's a gym idiot.

How can you be a gym idiot if you're never at the gym?

[precisou2004]

yeah isn't insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results? there are so many guys that don't get cut after years of trying or don't add size, go read something, damn.

11. the skinny guys with the pregnant bellies who are at the gym every day walking around the track and doing some goofy pilaties crap and never have that baby
12. my ENORMOUS co-worker who was genetically gifted by God to be a bodybuilder / powerlifter, but who is 50 pounds overweight because he eats like an idiot and comes to my gym twice a month and then goes ape*&*% tossing around huge weight because he is just massively strong and then complains the next day- "I think I really hurt my back again."
13. The Personal Trainer who is teaching their beginner, overweight and weak clients to do ANYTHING BUT sweat like mad on the treadmill and do some basic lifts.
14. The skinny old guy doing yoga moves in the stretching area who walks around like he is awesome in his $100 wearable workout gear
15. Anyone who walks into the gym without a plan and intensity

I understand that this post was in written in humor. But, a generalization should not be made for guys from a specific country.. based on some idiots who adopt half measures .. or are not serious about workouts.

Hope you understand man.

[ultragymrat]

no offense intended, they are all just of that nationality, my own family is multirace. I just think that perhaps in their culture (as in many cultures) it may be a sign of affluence to have attained a belly and they do not seem to mind it at all, but they are in a healthy club, so it seems really bizzare since, they are not even trying to lose weight or exercise or eat right, that is all. Not trying to sterotype, they are nice guys, but still gym idiots...

[patleb940]

Yeah, I have that.... I.L.S. (Invisible Lat Syndrome) !

LoLz

LOL, I got one of those too at my gym, plus he's always moving around in the gym radomly from a machine to another. He looks like an hyperactive type of guy, and he's sooooo annoying. He works at the grocery store near the gym and the other day I saw him during his break buying a pack of cigarettes and a O'henry. What an idiot!

Sorry, I had to get this off my chest, lol!

yeah so the overweight clients can have a heart attack on the treadmill.................

[StepUp1979]

1. The trainers at the gyms who haven't trianed before.

2. The 6' whatever 145lb guy bragging about how much muscle he has.

3. The guy who has all the intentions but never follows through.

4. The person who hasn't worked out before and starts off doing 15 sets on every muscle. And then brags about how much of a pump he has.

You must adapt to survive , right? LOL . Weed them out. j/k people.

I don't know about you guys, but I go to the gym to lift, not to check out what everyone else is doing wrong. I can understand getting pissed about someone being in the squat rack doing something else other than squats, because they are in the way and taking up space. But, if they aren't bothering you, why even pay attention. I go in, put my headphones on, look at my lifting card between sets, lift and leave. I could care less what everyone else is doing in that place.

Totally agree with you. Must of my comments were based on my old gym.

if you got enough money for coach, you got enough money for crosstrainers!

This is fun!

[sanan]

you're a gym idiot if you spend more time lifting than cooking

[McCannons]

The guy that puts a **** load of weight on the squat rack, tries to lift it, fails and walks away leaving all those dam plates to be reracked by the next guy.
