Yes, let's trash talk over the internet because that's the cool thing to do.

My gym is located in the middle of a very eccentric part of louisville, Bardstown Rd for anyone familiar with the area.
Needless to say, we get a lot of unique people in there and they only seem to come in once or twice and then never again.

Two most annoying guys:

Golfer Dude:
He must be a golfer because he is always doing like weighted ab twists and body twists plus he does fake swings during rest times. I don't really care about that, the thing that annoys me is that he is everywhere in the gym. He uses every peice of equipement during his workouts. He also does this thing where he puts 135 on his back like he is going to squat but then he does like the can can dance back and forth while lip syncing to some song. It makes me rage.

Mr. Gloves:
This guy is cut, I'll give him that. However he probably weighs 130 lbs and moves very little weight. He wears a deep v neck t shirt and perfectly styled hair to every workout. As probably gathered from his given name, he uses workout gloves... for such exercises as:
Pushups
Lateral Raises
Cable Lateral Raises
Wide pushups
Just makes me say WTF

I hate people who wear gloves for a fashion statement or something, if you can only bench the bar then your hands can take it.

To continue the end of your sig:

Other rappers diss me
Say my rhymes are sissy
What, what, what, why, why, why?

**MidnightSun** · 07-13-2010, 05:30 PM

Don't put yourself in front of some guy clearly using the mirror to do his exercice to check his form..!!!!! Goddamit that makes me rage.

**headshot84** · 07-13-2010, 05:57 PM

Lol this! Or the ones that use the elliptical, and get off it every minute to send a text.

**OTTOEMEZZO** · 07-13-2010, 08:08 PM

I have seen a lot of gym idiots at my gym. Top picks:

1. Today, 2 guys come in the gym and start doing bench press, benching nothing speical (135 lbs) and bouncing the **** like crazy off their chest. Then, the slightly bigger guy loads up the bench to 185 lbs and notices that I am doing more weight than him. Comes up to me and asks how much I'm lifting. I don't care much for his question - just look at the ****ing bar and see how much. I wasn't lifting anything special - only 210, but he seemed very impressed and told me that he wants to try 185. I look at his attempt and the bar just drops to his chest and DOES NOT move up even an inch. The other guy "deadlifts" the 185 lb bar with a rounded back and puts it in the rack.

Later, these two smart asses load up the squat rack with 205 lbs, and get this, the bar is set ABOVE THEIR HEADS. WTF??? They try to put the bar on their back, and obviously can't. Then, they lower the bar (with the weight still on it) and lower handles. The bar is still too high and when they realize this, they simply walk out of the ****ing gym. The bar was still in the spot when I left after 1 hour.

2. The guy who always curls in the squat rack and for that matter, only ever curls and benches in the gym. I've seen this guy maybe 5 times and 4 times he was doing every curling variation available.

3. The guy quarter squatting 405 lbs.

4. Kids swinging DBs like crazy on curls. Look like their limbs will get torn off.

Don't hate... I wear gloves for every exercise I do (except legs day for obvious reason and cardio so I don't get them even sweatier). Though I don't do pushups, if I did I would probably wear them for that too. For me it's not a "fashion statement" but convenience as I don't want to put them on / take them off every other exercise and have to carry them around.

**jc41** · 07-14-2010, 07:33 AM

Simply Amazing, sums up most of our thoughts when we are working out and you look over at a "Gym Idiot"..lol

**RobertNextHulk** · 07-14-2010, 09:33 AM

Yesterday, this happened the whole time I was in the gym, twice. Both times, two guys enter the gym, hardly workout, and then leave 5-10 minutes later. One of the times, the first two do 8 pull ups (not deadhang, but more like 3/4 hang), do smith benches with 105 pounds (looks like 135 to them), and lean back doing lat pulldowns. Then the other two guys (teenagers) sit on the machines, barely even doing a couple sets, after they entered and looked at me as I was nearly finished with the cardio and starting the cooldown. They were not even chubby, just decently built.

**RobertNextHulk** · 07-14-2010, 09:33 AM

It makes no sense to go to the gym to sit down and chat and stare at people and barely even do two sets; the gym is a place to train, not to waste time. And no intent to trying to be an ass, but it's certainly not for everybody, it's not for people who are lazy, it's not for people who don't want to train hard, it's even not for pussies. Also, you'd be a gym idiot if you call quarter, half, or three-quarter pull ups, pull ups. What seperates me from those guys are pure motivation, and the 3-D's, discipline, determination, and dedication.

+1 I keep them on

**doylertheoiler** · 07-14-2010, 10:41 AM

it is understandable for you, you probably move substantial weight compared to this guy (198 lbs vs 140 lbs). All skin is relatively the same strength so I'm pretty sure his little puff hands can handle the 5 lb lateral raises i see him do.

All i was getting at is that he doesn't need em.

**jazz88** · 07-14-2010, 11:05 AM

4 guys sharing the squat rack
Replacing all weights on the bar between sets (though nobody lifted above 60kg)
40 minutes later theyre done and move onto the leg press

the icing on the cake....all 4 were wearing gloves

**KoHuskie** · 07-14-2010, 11:08 AM

A couple days ago I was introduced to the worst gym idiot I have seen. He was doing a seated row...but his back was absolutely getting destroyed. He loaded the machine up about 2/3 of the total weight, which he could not even come close to lifting with proper form. When he would do his 5 reps, he would let the weight slam down making everybody turn and look.

Now I normally don't give advice, but I seriously thought this kid was going to hurt himself, so I very politely approached him and said "hey man, if you are looking to work your lower back, you should give deadlifts a try, they are a lot more affective than the machine. That machine as actually more for upper back".

And this is where he snapped. He looked at me and said "You don't pay for my ****ing gym membership, let me workout how I want, I do **** how I want and that's final."

I say "alright man, just trying to help". To which he reply's: "Watch this and tell me I don't know what I'm doing".

He puts the pin in all the weight, grabs the bar, and screams as he pulls it back. Gets flung forward when he finally sat down, and the a couple of the weight plates broke. He then repeatedly hit his head on the side of the machine until somebody had to come and calm him down and escort him out of the gym.

Everybody in the gym is shocked, and he is getting bertstared hard. I wish I would have snapped a video... it was insane.

Now that's funny. I wonder what that kid was on...probably a combo of genetics and bathroom E.

This is why I never offer advice.

And the 5th D: DAMN straight. If they were overweight or obese, or just out of shape, and they train for only 15 minutes, I'd let it slide though. It just kinda bothers me when I hear people complaining and wondering why they haven't gained a pound of muscle, lost a pound of fat or gotten stronger, when they simply didn't train or eat smart enough. At least I'm only in the gym to focus on my training rather than socializing with anyone.

These guys call them bench presses, when they're only doing partial reps.... Douchebags.

Ha, yeah, there are dozons of these guys that go to my gym. It's all a numbers game to em' to. Nevermind if you are doing 1/3 ROM....if you are moving more weight then the other guy then you MUST be stronger...

**BuccoBruce** · 07-14-2010, 02:15 PM

Don't know if I just never noticed before, but I see guys curling in the squat rack every day now.

**Fenix266** · 07-14-2010, 03:46 PM

People that hork every 5 seconds while they are in the shower.

It's good to hear stories where gym idiots get kicked out of the gyms.

Im with ya man, as if im going to take em off every time i do an exercise that doesnt require them.

**LeeRain** · 07-15-2010, 07:02 AM

Back in 2005-2006, once or twice I unknowingly wore boxer shorts without pants on top of it--to the gym (I put on briefs under the boxers because I thought they're regular shorts, until the people were staring at me and one of my friends who entered asked me why I was wearing them, told him I thought they were shorts and we agreed to pretend they're shorts lol). And one time I've worn this shirt to the gym where you see four chicks in their bikini attires (all of them wearing bras and thongs, with their backs turned) haha. Yes I was a gym idiot because of the rather embarassing distractions (though they liked the shirt better lmao), but I never got in any trouble whatsoever, but that was over 4 years ago, and none of them have happened ever since
