Step Away From The Mirror Please
ad
My gym is huge (50,000 square feet). The dumbbell rack is 150 ft long and the dumbbell training area is 200 ft x 40 ft. My question is why with so much space to do your dumbbell work out why must people insist on standing directly in front of the rack looking in the mirror. They block the weights so you have to wait until they are done. NOW that spring is here the high school kids and college guys are trying to get in shape for the beach and this problem has gotten ten times worse. I don't want to start being a dick but I am getting sick of having to wait constantly because people have no gym etiquette. So if you are one of these, have some courtesy and take two steps back. AND RACK YOUR WEIGHTS!

Thats another good point of training with suzy b..... when shit like this happens she just gives em the look like.. get your act together you effeminate bastard and they tidy up and move along quick - sharp! looking like naughty little boys after big momma has slapped thier asses ... LOL....LOL
AnonSomething must be wrong with me. I've been going to the gym so long I just expect things like this. I just wait until they get through with their set and grab my dumbells.
I don't have a problem with someone using the mirror to check form. I'll patiently wait until they finish the set before I tell them to gtfo of my way. But the guy who kisses his biceps and flexes after every set (yeah I see you fucker). You are in the fuckin way buddy!
AnonWhat he said^^^^^^
Just politely ask him if he wouldn't mind passing you the dumb bells since he's standing right there anyway.
Or how about those circus clown crossfit dick that dance all over the squat rack
Hey I do that lol
I know exactly what ur talking about... I just say excuse me and grab what I need. A lot of the times people then step away? I've not once had anyone talk back except they say sorry... I'm on a limited time schedule and have to get my stuff done or I beat myself up all day long about it.
Ditto most people dont realise that their in the way there too busy admiring them saves in the mirror lol.
Until u say excuse me... and they snap back to reality
you dont have to be a dick just say "excuse me" and take the dumbells you need and find yourself an empty area.
yea people could be more considerate but you dont have to sit quietly waiting for them to move.
they make the choice to stand in front of the dumbells people wanna use so they choose to face being interrupted by someone needing dumbells.
with that said i always try to be courteous and move outta the way if i see quiet guys waiting too scared to say excuse me or anyone heading my way looking for dumbells.
sounds like ur talking about me
i always stand in the mirrors so i can look at every single vain and my pump, i always catch all the cardio bunnies glancing at me they get lill bit embarassed when i catch them looking lol... the guys also look out of jealousy like how can this young kid me so much bigger and cut than me
standing dumbbell curls are the best for that!!!
Yeah it's gotta be an epidemic this time of year. I go to a smaller gym, with only 4 benches in front of the dumb bell racks. There was one bastard last night that had 4 sets of dbs out and was taking up one of the benches, the worst part was he spent at least 20 minutes dickin around with his phone taking pics in front of the mirror, and texting (probably sending the pics to his boyfriend). Then he got up and left without re racking the dbs and he didn't wipe down his bench (then again I only saw him do one set, so it really didn't need it).
bahaha at my gym we have a group of 5 dudes who train together, they are big boys and they train hard but they are obsessed with the mirrors, everything they do is mirror mirror, always in the way of weights, always posing, i try not to be nasty at the gym as i want to keep going but the other day the bigger guy started squeezing his mates pimples in the mirror, i had to say something lol i dont think they will be doing it again lmao i swear some people
waltrhalf the time when i'm doing some exercises i'm so freaking tired i don't even feel like moving 2 steps back =/
If someone is in front of the weights I need I just say "excuse me" in a loud rude tone. I then proceed to walk towards the weight even if they are in the way. They almost always move. If not I will stand directly beside them and grab the wieghts in front of them anyways. Then slam the weights back so they are forced to move or get fucking crushed.
Usually this works better when I go to rack the weights because if they don't move I'll drop the dumbbells on their toe lol
sometimes if they aren't directly in front of the rack I will just not say anything at all and just walk in front and grab the weights anyways.
I'm actually a very nice guy, but I can't stand people that have zero respect for others in the gym.
AnonI stand in front of mirror to watch my lifts to watch my form and etc ! : (""" sorry bro I'm one of those guys lol
-1 for that one. just bustin.You can still use the mirror just don't block the dumbbells take two steps back so people don't have to wait to grab there weights.But walking in front of someone is also bad etiquette.
AnonOh I am curious enough already cuz I do step back a bit bro so I guess I'm good lol
Yeah well I had a 145lb kid take probably 14 dumbells to one bench to do one arm rows then fucking left there!!!!! I wear headphones but I had no problem screaming out FIRST FUCKING TIME AT THE GYM PAL!!!!WTF!!? Anybody else see this kinda of shit!! I'm old school..... Put your shit back where you got it!!!!
That's nothing man, at my gym all these little young bucks think they are UFC/MMA fighters lol, they'll struggle benching 135lbs and then go in front of the mirror and shadowbox for 5 minutes in between sets, probably one of the most irritating things iv'e seen so far, seems like a fucking trend now
Just be a dick. Sometimes that's what it takes to get through to some people. I use the mirror for certain exercises, but it's only to watch my form. If I feel like posing, I do it at home in front of my wife.
