*******s at the gym.

[HeMan]

Is it just me or are most big guys *******s. all my friends at the gym who lift always make fun of the fat, skinny and old people. This as an aspiring personnal trainer really bugs me. I think we should encourage these people to come tot he gym more and give them pointers instead of laughing when they pick up the five pound dumbs and struggling to squeeze out 10 reps.

We as people should try to motivate and help these individuals they are in the gym for the same reason we are... to better ourselves, and reach goals for better health, image, and confidence. next time we see a new person struggling we should spend a minute and try to help them out.

Well every gym around the world will have these people,so ye gotta live with it..
When i see a 'newbie' in the gym and i see him/her doing things wrong,i'll point it out to them,i just wont sit back and laugh cause of the reason,We were all in the same boat at some stage..

I was reading a little thing in Flex about Ernie and Orville,and they said when there doing cardio work,they often laugh at the 'small' people in the gym..Thats coming from a Pro bodybuilder,men who people look up to and their saying that!

[John G]

Yeah...*******s are everywhere...yeah it is sad, but just ignore them, or better yet, let them piss you off. I guarantee you'll have a great workout

[user87745477315471972481]

lol Dome, I remember reading (I believe it was the August issue) of FLEX magazine and Chris Cormier / Craig Titus said that when they're in the gym and doing cardio they look over the gym and laugh at all of the other people.

[Dome]

Ohh was it them,i thought it was Ernie and co.Ahh well..

[str8flexed]

You'll have that. I don't say anything 2 people until the tell me 2 quiet down when i workout. Then I might call some one skinny or something. I'm sorry, I love lifting psycho! But for the most part I usually like helping people smaller than me at the gym. I won't stop my workout 2 help and I don't like to be interupted for very long. But I've been known 2 stay at the gym an extra hour to help someone else out with their workout.
Peace

I just mind my own business when I'm at the gym. If it's one thing I can't stand, it's when someone comes up to me at the gym and tells me I'm doing something wrong. There's this one guy, who would win a gold medal if bouncing the bar off of your chest was an olympic sport, who decided to tell me how to work chest. I just laughed and walked away.

[Dome]

lol,nice one.

There was 2 new guys in the gym last week,and they were talking about how there benching 80kg..When i told them i was doing 65kg(now upto 70) they gave me a little smirk,as if to say THERE better than me,just cos i was lifting lighter than they were..But then it happened!!!! They were benching using the machine,i can bench 120kg(max on the machine) EASY on the machine and not even need to make an effort..

There's always gonna be *******s in the gym,ye gotta live with it really..or just fling a 20kg dumbell when they aint looking.

[user87745477315471972481]

lol dome, that dumbell would hurt.

You just gave me a sick idea, imagine if the whole object of the game is to kill your oponents in the gym using all of the equipment inside the gym? Dumbells barbell 45lb plates flying all over the place, squat racks tumbling down and hurling EZ curl bars horizontally..

that didn't sound right, anyways stop giving me sick ideas please. heh.

[Dome]

HAHAHA,what a superb game!
It'll be on TV next i bet

[user87745477315471972481]

lol, I can imagine some great classical showdowns occurring..

[B1gReDheAd]

wow people at your gym must be *******s. At my gym people always try and help each other out, at least that's what I see. If I'm doing something wrong, people around me might give me some advice or I might ask em and they're glad to help me out and vice versa. Maybe I'm just lucky.

[user87745477315471972481]

that's usually the way my gym is BigRedHead, i go to a good gym(in more ways then one).

[trUlyHUGe]

it is not the *******s that bother me, they usually mind there own business. what makes me mad is the little guys and the fat asses that think they know everything. trainers included they think they know everything and want to give everyone advice but they look like crap. They always have some new "state of the art " routine. I just want to kick there ass

[user87745477315471972481]

lol man that's hilarious .. hahahaa.

[stax]

youre not bloody wrong there.....
I was doing some pulldowns and I left my towel on the seat to get a drink of water...when I came back, some woman chucked the towel of the seat and started to do her thing...FFS woman, I left the towel there for a reason...

[user87745477315471972481]

heh interesting story there, S.. What does FFS stand for? F*cking fat sh*t , or what?

[Mafioso]

I hate those skinny bastards that pose in the mirror more than freakin lift. Then they see you puttin up some weight and they give you a look of hate. IM SICK OF HATERS IN THE GYM. Go work for yours!!!

[Dome]

FFS= For F*ck Sake

[user87745477315471972481]

dont worry about them

[Big V]

I don't really worry about it at my gym. I'm the only teenager that lifts there. Everyone else is in the 30's or older. It's kind of wierd but its cool because I do more weight than the older people and they get all amazed! Wow...

[str8flexed]

In the words of DMX..."Do You!"

[user87745477315471972481]

str8flexed's attempt to get his position back

sorry man im ahead heheh

[damnJeff]

I've tried helping people out, but they seem to think they know everything. I've given up. Fukk da naysayers!

[Adam]

ya i know this one person i tried to help out, fu*cking dumbass. "Whats the point of having an off day, Im afraid if i dont lift for a day ill lose the will to life"<----- i cant belive that a person can actually say that with total confidence "I can't miss a week for every 12 weeks, all loose all my muscle and strength" AHHH I couldnt take anymore of that ****, so i dont bother helping people out anymore unless they are actually willing to listen to me

yeah, same at my gym. there aint much azzholes at my gym, since im like the only teenager there... oh yeah in the past i've seen a couple other teens but they....well.... just minded their own business.... but there ARE lots of HUGE AZZ old people there... like old people that bench 300+.... and like someone said, some trainers do look like sh*t. there's this one fat azz trainer that i saw once, he was like do this, do that, etc... lol

and once i saw these teens at this other gym, they were like showing off with their.... well.... 65lbs bench press...... yeah.... and then they added 20lbs which comes out to be 85lbs and did like 2-3reps and think they're so strong.... then i came and did 110lbs and it was my warm up set...

[Buff_Daddy]

what pissed me off is when someone is on a machine, eg preacher curl, and im waiting "patiently", and he talks on his phone and starts chatting with his partner, and his breaks are like 10 minutes, wheres da fcken courtesy

[stax]

I hate it when awesome looking girls come into the gym that wear tennis skirts and they use the pecdec while their legs are in a spread position. Why do I hate this?

I seem to lose rep count, lose set count, the time between sets increases and my mind is not set on lifting

[vanilla]

YOU STAX YOU GOT A PROBLEM. THE KEY IS TO CONCENTRATE MAN CONCENTRATE!!!!!!!

Self proclaimed “*******” here! I admit it. If someone is doing something wrong, mind your own business. Who cares!? Don’t act like you’re Dr. Fit and proceed to give them the history of weight training. Also, for God’s sake, don’t give advise to other males or anyone older than you unless they ask!

Weight Room Etiquette:

Know how to f*cking spot!!! (ahhh, had to get that out)
Mind your own business.
Claim your f*cking fart!
If you’re considered a branch of the water shed project, lay a damn towel down. (applies to only a few people…you know who you are)
If someone is benching, don’t stare at the bump in their shorts…or you’re gay…nuff said.
If you can’t bench even 100 lbs. , please don’t grunt.
It is true, muscle growth is directly proportional to ego size.
Those dinky 2 lb. dumbbells are not for you.
We’re not dusting for prints! Easy on the f*cking chalk!!!
Pit-stains are nasty…go sleeveless.
Be a man, use no aids. This includes wrist wraps, chalk, gloves, etc. A bar yolk is ok, but that’s it. Ok, maybe a belt, but that is it.
Don’t spit on the mirror!!! This includes any kind of flem.
If you’re a cocky walking stick, congratulations…welcome to the world of inner studlyness.
Outer studlyness takes time to perfect.
Use the most shiiity form you know humanly possible. The rest of us need a good laugh once in a while.
NO sunglasses in the gym. You aren’t fooling anyone.
Put your weights back.
Set the treadmill for full out sprint, then run a mile. After this, step of and breath through your nose, like it was nothing.
THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK OF FOR RIGHT NOW.
