Things people do in the gym that make you cringe.

[BongoBanger]

1) Wear their powerlifting singlet and lift
- Seriously ? why?

2) Do box squats, but do them 4-5 inches above parallel, or in a smith machine

3) Grunt abnormally loud. Over use of chalk.

4) Film all their workouts including accessory work
- again, why?

5) talk to the girl running on a treadmill
- she wants to run and is being polite, pick a better time to hit on her.

6) powerlifting gear/knee wraps, but weak.
- you should work on your raw strength if you cant squat 315 without gear, same goes for bands, reverse bands, or stuff like that, unneeded.



post some more you dirty little slut bags.

- lifting gloves
- half squats
- benching not to their chest
- wear overly tight/revealing clothing, ie a shirt with the sleeves cut off so far that you can see their nipples
- smell bad

[jonmcd46]

i do all these and thats why i phucked your girl

[ColdHand12]

-butt sweat

[2RDEYE]

1 set for every exercise and then leave the gym lol. so many people do that at my gym. it's mostly the machine only people.

- lifting gloves

i think this isn't that bad. it's understandable at least if people don't want calluses. my calluses are annoying as fuk. i have to rip them every time before i go to the gym so they don't effect my exercises.

[woody19]

10 minutes of talk for every set guy

[hendrixfreak70]

I hate it when people break wind and then run off. Acting like they didn't do it.

[adamsz]

I think lifting in a singlet is legit if ur close to competition or lift at a PLing gym, but Ya otherwise it's cringe worthy in most cases as it's usually pretty obviously only for attention. Agree with the rest of the list tho 100%.

For me unnecessary grunting is probably my biggest pet peave. Whenever I lift at 24 hour fitness there's always at least 2-3 guys who think they're the biggest mother fuker in the world (they're really not tho) and they feel the need to draw the entires gym's attention to their sets because of how obnoxiously loud they are.

I rage erry time.

lmao, it's even better when the guy is near a chick and he gets blamed with a dirty look from her.

Maybe. Does that make me weird?

i dont understand the singlet even if they compete.. why? lifting in a singlet doesnt change vs lifting in basketball shorts and a tshirt..

[theoxinthebox]

Sumo deadlifts

Singlet in competition is so they know they hit depth during the squat, bar touching chest during press and knees locked out during deadlift.

[420Layers]

All these motherfukers going crazy on arms in my gym.


Literally everybody I see big or small in my gym is heaving weights around for curls, be it on a one arm preacher curl machine, or standing barbell curls.

It's much more precise to analyze depth (whether it be filming a set from the side or having someone take a look) with a singlet compared to basketball shorts.

The mantra of Practice how you compete. Say you only bench in a t shirt in the gym. The fabric used for singlets is different and might effect how you stay planted on the pad, just as an example. Don't want any unnecessary suprises on competition day.

i still think the affect is very very minimal. the fabric on your shorts is a fraction thicker than your singlets. and most people chalk their shoulders on bench anyway to stay planted.

it might be me, i never thought lifting in a singlet felt any different than lifting in normal clothes, except you can see my dangalang outline when i bench press.

I overuse chalk because my hand sweats a lot

[MadDocker]

Interrupt my socializing so they can lift on the equipment I'm sitting on. *******s.

[verysleepy]

Elevation mask. I get it if you're doing cardio but maybe take it off for the curls.

Lol. Even for cardio it's pretty much worthless (srs).

Forgot about this one, been awhile since I've seen one.

[DueceWaters]

ego lifting is so cringe, especially from older guys and manlets.

easy reason to not squat deep, 50-75% squats with fast upward explosion are more effective for building speed and power than low and deep squats which tend to focus on strength

[abroom]

Never understood elevation masks, runners & cyclists stay at high altitude for WEEKS just to get a temporary boost that will last them throughout a competition.

There is no way that breathing through that thing for an hour and a half will give any noticeable benifits.

this is not true.

[tim5p]

Guilty of overusing chalk, its to an OCD level now.

My one pet peeve is basically everyone at my gym doesn't understand the concept of a bent over row. There is no "bend over" its a slight tilt and a shrug the weight up. The weird twilight zone aspect is not a single person does them right, like they all learned of another and have never seen anything else.

[Aalexbrah]

When I get interrupted by some ******* wanting to dry their hands when I'm warming my balls on the ball dryer

[Strangelydrunk]

People who start shouting, breathing heavily etc before a set to "psyche" themselves up as if they were some kind of super saiyan dbz character

[chickenallday]

people who bench with their feet up for extra "core" activation
