Things people do at the gym that you hate?

[Deku]

New to the country foreigners. Funnies. There is a cardio cinema thing at the gym. Two ****lian women have their full head dresses on. I don't know how they do it. I would pass out from the heat. Then their men are doing next to nothing weights, yelling in their foreign language while occupying multiple machines. They smell like fries and take up all those machines like Black Hawk Down. They don't wipe the machine after. Even my urban lifting brothers dislike them.

[-Kal-El-]

I just don't like it when it's crowded and people are in there taking up room and equipment but doing nothing of importance with it. That's pretty much it though. I just want to do my thing without interruption.

edit: Also, I don't like it when people don't rack their weights because I don't know if a station is occupied or not. If nobody is around it for a while and the guys that are haven't seen anyone on it ill just take it though.

edit2: 7000 posts.

breathe. I hate it when people breathe.

So much easier to lift if everyone at the gym was just dead nomsayin??

lol'd

[HughMadborough]

*******s/whores using equipment that serves a particular function for general ****.
ie Today, a female personal trainer was working out (in her off time) doing some aerbobic stuff, including box jumps - with the only available incline bench. There's ****ing flat planes everywhere for you to frolic on, you're monopolising the only incline, without even using the incline.

Kunt.

Also in on pointless desi guy thread.

Flipflops!!!

[Brandon0212]

When skinny tall goofy *******s think they're swoll

[PoppedAMolly]

Flipflops!!!

Did this once last summer bc I forgot my workout shoes. Felt like a douche, but it was either sandals or bare feet.

The other day this Dad was with his two kids probably Highschoolers, they were doing probably 5 different variations of curls, dumbell press's etc. They managed to have a set of every dumbell from 25-60 lbs laying around one bench. Not to mention that they had all of the dumbbells right next to all the dumbell racks.. was like a damn obstacle course trying to get to any other dumbbell's and of course, they didnt rack any of the weights... The dad was like a screamer too with the strong 45lb dumbbell press.. wtf is wrong with people in the gym?

[Habbadahut]

Gonna add -

On my cardio days, nothing pisses me off more than getting to a machine and they don't wipe it down afterwards. Frickin sweat everywhere and they just walk off like it's no big deal. SRS clean that f-ing **** up!

Towels and Spray all over the gym

Agree 100%....I have sat on a wet looking bench before thinking it was cleaner since most people spray/wipe after their set. Turns out it was fukking sweat! I was so disgusted sfs

[RagNCaucasion89]

everyone that joins in January for a resolution.

brb using bench as a seat to talk to friend

When someone steals plates off the squat rack from me while I'm in the middle of a set.

I'd rage at them.

People who wear cologne
Bicep Warriors
People who don't squat in the squat rack
doing pointless exercises
doing exercises wrong
people who spread broscience
people who obviously take steroids yet will never admit it
indians who smell like curry
fathers who bring their preteen sons to workout
people that flex in the mirror
people that are skinny unlifting *******s that wear shirts to show off their arms.

[rjmwx81]

Last week, I saw this jackass walk up to a flat bench, throw a couple of 10-pound plates on each side of the bar, then stand with one leg on each side of the bench and start curling. I'd seen curling in the squat rack before, but this was a new level of *******ry.

Possibly guilty, I sometimes feel like a douche wearing a cutoff, but it is seriously just because I like seeing the muscle work and my pump, not because I think I am jacked or trying to show off.

[ironpump22]

I flex in the mirror.....but only when practicing competition poses--no full length mirrors at home

felt like a douche at first but most people just don't get it so oh well haha

[PoppedAMolly]

Sucks but it is better than this one bro who came into the gym once. He literally smelled like rancid ballsacks - like old, used, wet, rotting hockey equipment.

It literally made me gag, just walking by him.

I have no idea how any one human being could smell as bad as he smelled. It wasn't even sweat - it was rancid, rotting flesh smell.

No joke.

[godsamurai]

I kind of hate, well more like really disturbed when people copy my exercise. I usually incorporate new exercise I learn from the website to see how it works, and minutes later guy comes and do the same..

and week later everybody is doing it.

There is one dude at my gym who dances in between sets. Not flexing. Not sparring. But dancing to the tunes on his ipod. I see it out of the corner of my eye, but refuse to look directly at him because I don't want to give the attention whore anything.

More power to ya since you actually compete, but full length mirrors are pretty cheap

[jarryd2018]

People who interrupt me to talk and want me to take my headphones out.

I'm on that homegym time now.

[KandyRedSS]

Typical curler in squat rack

Skinny ****s that wear compression shirts/under armor and think theyre swole cuz it squeezes certain areas to make muscles look bigger

1/8 rom ****s

Competition lifters: guy next to you is trying to one up you on a certain exercise, its usually the resolutioners that do this

Brb lol

Edit: Shadow Boxers. Plz fking go.

Pretty common at my gym actually, they put on 10s to make it 65 total and proceed to curl with crappy form when there are racks with 60lbs curl bars right next to them. Good thing there is never a shortage of benches or I would rage.

[AirJordanB]

-People who sit on equipment inbetween sets or during their friends sets
-People who leave towels and water bottles on the floor near the racks. brb navigating an obstacle course
-Socializing anywhere other than the cardio deck

[twilighters]

people who dont let u work in and u doing the same ****

[j.cantor]

him- thats your opinion

me- no, that is everyone's opinion

That is funny as ****!!

I hate when people don't wipe their equipment off after they use it.
They don't use ****ing deodorant
They stare at you while you do your set, you turn around like what the ****....they look away and then try to do your same exercise with more weight
They walk around ILS'n it
They get done doing a set of bench, then go to the mirror and pull their sleeve up and flex their arms

[AndrewBober]

I use a small hardcore BB gym which is set in a forest. Good crowd which although cam be mixed, largely all have similiar ethos. Newbies come, some stay some go. But the ones which make me rage are those you reek of cigarettes. One guy goes out between sets at least five or six times to smoke. Makes no sense and entirely counterproductive.

[sd3]

when they stare at me while i work out

came to post this,

i dont mind the odd glance or eye contact, its bound to happen its unavoidable in a public place such as the gym.......

when I use to use the uni gym there was this one motherfurker though and i swear i keep catching him watching me all the time, really use to rustle me

EDIT: also the old bastarrds who come in, do furk all, and just wander about chatting/trying to hit on all the women working out, when the dont do chit themselves in terms of working out, just do like 1 set of 40 reps on a shoulder press machine then wander about again for 50 mins

huh interesting haha...people look at me but I don't really care about them so it doesn't matter

true, but then I'd also have to buy weights for at home, at least light ones because you pose slightly pumped up for competition
