Hey Guys,
What pisses you off at your gym ?
sa.: people who use the bench press to do their step routine or hogging a piece equipment for a half hour.

ive noticed more of these fat old slobs who dont look theyve done a god damn thing in 20 years but eat burger king and krispy kreme, coming in an training young kids, 14-16 and everything theyre teaching them is wrong and in some cases dangerous as hell. this is one thing thats been pissing me off really bad lately
And they always say "I know what I'm talkin about I'm a power lifter" arrrrrrhhhhh I want to smash them. Sorry once again this cutting is pissing me off badly
the dumbells lookin at me all smug like theyre better than me
I hear ya bro, always lookin at me with the "come at me brah" look.
guys running around naked in the locker room.. no body wants to see that shit
The old man who mad doggs me. If I wasn't raised right I would choke his a$$ out with the cables. Sorry just sick of this old man who sits at the machines and looks at me like he could whoop my a$$
Edit. Sorry I think my first cut is starting to get to me
I don't know if this is proper etiquette but I hate politely asking someone if I can work in at the seated row machine or any other machine (since I notice they take 15 minutes between sets) and they flat out say "NO" and put back on their headphones.
I hate that they sit there on their phone texting then have the nerve to say no. I want to rip their phones off their head and beat the with them. With you bud
Old guys who use the peck deck as a park bench and see nothing wrong with it. Also personal trainers who have to train their dainty little clients directly in front of the heavy dumbbell rack. Having to carry the 140lb dumbbells an extra 20 feet to an open bench for db bench press kinda makes me angry. It makes me even angrier when I'm on Tren.
No buffet
I hate it when the super hot chick at the gym doesn't just come up to me and rip her clothes off and say "let's do this big boy". Or the personal trainer that is 98lbs soaking wet trying to tell ppl how to bulk.
There's a lot. But,one is. When guys do curls on the flat bench and or at the power rack. Posses me the f off.
today i saw a guy go to labor on the bench press... best part he was benching 135lbs, he just had to let everyone know about it though
Woohoo! He's using the big boy plates now! Did he shout, "Yeah buddy!"?
Man what really pisses me off is the fat guy who brings his skinny friends in and tells them he's a powerlifter and then he proceeds to bench95 for 2 reps grinting and groaning.
Tonight in the gym this sawed off leprechaun looking guy...no offense to any leprechauns here was shadow boxing in the mirror right in front of the dumbbells rack. Then he proceeded to leap over the bench back and forth hopping like a wounded rabbit. Very simple case of small man's syndrome and trying to let everyone know what a unique badass he was for going against the grain of standard lifting. Normally this ridiculous shit doesn't bother me but my blood sugar was low and I found myself fantasizing about cracking his cranium wide open.
Oh man, I forgot about the 'step routine on the bench' bullshit! And the hogging one piece of equipment for a long time and 5 minute breaks between sets - sets that they could do 50 reps on - very light weight.
Old women who try to dominate the lifters by using the leg and ab machines.
Myself for being so paranoid and trying not to notion to other bodybuilders that I pin oil. (little ass flex, undeniably DHT levels, etc.)
Big guys that clearly want to say they dig my chemistry I got going on, then be a dick to me the rest off the work out because I couldn't deal with their body language. (when there's 10 people with in 25ft, and you're the only one bustin set after set, people start looking.)
Discerning people for any reason that does not directly effect them. Such as me checking my weight before and after work out, changing exercises between sets. (So I wanted to do 12 rows, and 12 tri downs,)
Guys putting in work on upper body and never hit legs, WTF? My partner and I would always see this shit at the gym, and usually they are the ones staring you down like "look at my arms",,, my bro would look at me and say "See you on leg day asshole" then we'd bust up laughing at their over confident stare downs while we grimace back at them like maniacs and go ATG with 315. But even worse is when some jack ass loads a bar or a rack up with weight and gets a nice 3 inch squat, press or whatever and looks at you like "bet you can't lift that." Of course I can, but why would I? Guess I better stop, there is at least 98 other things I'd like to rage about but I'll just bottle the rest up and abuse some plates tonight, after all, it's leg day!
Abuse some plates! Good shit bro!
i got a 100 things that piss me off, the 15 yr olds trying to bench 65lbs while cranking the shit out of their backs, no one putting crap where it belongs, machine hogging. but the number one thing that annoys the shit out of me, and makes me want to smash a dudes head into the mirror, is the fat guy with chicken wing flapping triceps, a gut that hangs floppy over his shorts and he F'N FLEXES IN THE MIRROR. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? than hes got the nerve to look at me like hes big lol and the other one is this cat whose got huge arms i mean huge, eye balls the hell out of me and the boys i hang with in the gym and he can barley curl 75lbs lol. i know these are silly and mean things but i dont get fat guys flexing and weak guys acting like they are jay cutler lol
That is true. I hate the guy that has lifted about 2 weeks and feels he is the biggest of the Gym. And sees you like if you are his friend. Also that guy thinks he knows everything about lifting techniques and starts giving advice about proper lifting to a chick, and when he starts using the barbells he starts balancing back and forth being the one avoiding proper lifting techniques. That is why I do not give advice until being asked!!!! I am in my own world.
i started working out when i was around 14, pretty steady from that point on till now with short breaks of a few months here and there over the years. Ive got 3 personal training certs, ive seen multitudes of injury from idiots not doing stuff right, i will intervene and correct the young guys just starting out, the older guys i could care less about, they been in there for years, correcting them is impossible they think they got it figured out. but the young guys are very respectful and very responsive, i am very known and very respected in my area in the gyms, because of being a trainer.
Agreed! They use as stepper after walking around dirty locker room. One other thing. Bringing 25& under dumbells up to 80& over dumbells & working out between us.... Really?
People that carry on phone conversations in the free weight area!
For Christ sake, if you are in the gym to work out, work out and leave your fuking phone in your car! It's so damn annoying trying to focus while someone is running their mouth constantly!
cornfedjthjits asking me about if i can get them juice people asking why i lift so heavy im a fuckn powerlifter duh
The guy who arrives whith gloves,belt,knee pads,a brace on the elbow (so we know he has an injury) and puts a towel at the bench press, and spends 1/2 hour talking shit!!!!
That's good shit bro. LMFAO!
Walking backwards on a fucking treadmill, wtf
There's this 58 year old woman at my gym that's fuckin jacked, and she trains with like 2 other guys. Anyway, they take up like 3 separate benches between them and are only using one. Between taking up equipment they have a pair of 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's, and 35's pound dumbbells laying next to them on the floor or sometimes on top of the other benches that are going unused.
They basically act like they own the gym, and they hoard weights and equipment instead of using them when they need em, while everyone else goes without the weights they need.
Wow. That's completely unacceptable. I would definitely say something to those fools.
my gym has had abrecent influx of highschool kids lately, a couple of them who I had never talked to before came up to me and blatantly asked for a line on juice. I gave them the lecture of too young, eat eat eat....... fast forward a month or so, these same kids are roaming the gym carrying an extra 20lbs of bloat, limping, red faced, coverred in zits and lifting double what they were.
Pisses me off that someone was willing to sell these kids, who cant be a day older than 18, aas, these kids are going to hurt themselves in the gym and/or permanately mess their bodies up.
They might be getting from another 18 year old. And yes, it's f'ed up.
sadly man i was one of those high school kids....they are more than likely taking PHs like i did pushed onto them by some supplement store owner
well you are now older and wiser;) but judging by the way they are limping, im going to go out on a limb and say they got their hands on some sust lol.
LOL missed the limping part...the guy who sold it to them probably also told them to pin with an 18g in the quads. "actually happened to a buddy of mine"
same her bro! they are all getting their beach muscles ready for spring break. they are in my way and im not a trainer!
And is it me or are the "New Years resolution" people lasting longer this year? It's past time for them to give up and quit like every other year.
they sure as hell are lasting longer than previous years !!
Lotta newbie power lifters hangin on... Bangin the weights, at our place... Really, top it off forms horrible. That drives me shithouse.
It seems like it's finally starting to die down now. At least at my gym it is
Last week my gym finally died down some but since Im at a college campus gym I noticed this week it's time for the spring break crowd to start getting in the way
Can someone explain to me why the fuck people come to the gym dressed like they're going clubbing. SMH.
Lol tht isn't no shit I don't understand the whole need to wear a big ass flat bill hat and jewelry and jeans to the gym, dosent make sense to me anyways
people that put 2 or 3 45 pound plates over a couple of 5 or 10s on the rack. fuck just throw them on the floor, at least you wont be making more work for everybody.
Wardi77It used to bother me alot when I'd be doing a set and someone would try and spark a conversation. Im not at all anti social or have the mentality of "im better than anyone else and leave me alone" but in my opinion it is rude to try and talk to a person while they are doing upright rows. I now have my own gym in my garage and no complaints. I have an elliptical machine, dumbells, a power rack, 900 lbs worth of plates a non chrome olympic bar and I'm set. From time to time I go up the street to a gym that my friend owns but then I get reminded of why I like my garage better
Good shit bro!
People who play music without headphones
True this!.. happened today... 2 young lads stroll over to me and suze wanting to have thier picture taken with us.. (yes its true it happens a lot lol).. no messing around they jump straight into roids talk.. one says "i just started taking d/bol to get rid of my gut".... the other one says " i just started pinning winstrol and my strength is ballistic".... no asking if this is right or wrong.. just so glad to tell us what they are taking and feeling glad to be a part of "the crowd"............. thats what pissed me off today at the gym as the title says lol...lol
u should of told them that u were all natural
