+ 2 Etiquette
I know this topic has been covered many times but apparently not enough so I'm going to hit it again. I don't often work out in a public gym but this week I was travelling and got the opportunity to work out in a golds gym in Phoenix, AZ and was reminded of just how STUPID some people are. Let me help some of you out that may not know.
Control your weight You're awesome and you can prove it by making a big loud noise when you drop your weight that makes everyone look at you as you high five your partner. Fact of life, you damage the weights and bars by doing that, driving my cost of membership up and you interrupt my workout even through my music and distract me. That makes me want to come punch you in the throat. If you can't control your weight then you shouldn't be lifting it.
Weight Belts and Straps: i saw two guys doing bench press with straps and a weight belt. You don't need a fucking weight belt or lifting straps to bench press. The weight belt is to stabilize a back that is not strong enought to support lifting weight, by using it in every exercise you are not allowing the back to strengthen through other exercises and are making it weaker and more prone to injury. Lifting straps are for vertical lifting assistance. Never seen straps used on a flat back bench before
Primal Scream WTF? really? Nobody wants to hear a primal fucking scream while lifting. Ya you want the attention that says "hey look at what i'm lifting" but it is distracting to my work out and makes me want to punch you in the throat.
Walking away from your weights Pick up your fucking weights! Your mama doesn't work there, and since i'm bitching, pick up your goddamn towel too.
What's that work If you are doing standing bicep curls and your back is getting tired YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!!! look around, if you never see anyone doing what you are doing then theres a good chance that you're doing it wrong. In fact if you've never been shown the proper way to do an exercise then youre probably doing it wrong.
You're cute Women, yes you're cute with your little outfits and matching shoes but for those that are there for the attention just remember that if I don't look it doesn't give you the right to TRY to get my attention. I could care less if you're cute. I'm there to work out. Some guys love it, but not all.
anyway, just my rant for the day. I'll tell you what, list below the most bizarre shit you've seen in the gym.

Chest and triceps tonight. Where's my belt and lifting straps ;)
# I put both back in your bag... promise!
The PI's in my gym organize a 15 people moron booty camp right in the middle of the weights area.
I got to step over all their crap.
The whole thing is 1.5h of pretend cardio by people that cant control their diet.
Theres an unused aerobics area upstairs, i just dont get it.
I've seen them drink beer and eat chocolate cake after they do their dance thing.
High fives for doing fuck all
One of these days im gunna grab a 7ft olympic bar and do my monkey magic whirlwind through the pack.
You told me that you loved those Nike Pro Combat shorts I wear on leg day.. was that a lie?? LMAO.. no shit you really hit the nail on the head with this one.... I have a saying.. "If I look as good going out as I did coming in.. I need to put in more work! I generally look nice going to the gym.. with matching clothes.. and yes I wear makeup.. it's not a shit ton.. but when you have minor breakouts that you don't want the world to see you cover that shit up.. It's my one flaw.. any who! Once there.. it's time to put in work.. hair, makeup, clothes.. none of that matter anymore.. it's about how hard you go. We've been going to a gym with no air, none of the plush things that the other gym has... when your are done you are sweaty, puking or wanting to.. and dirty ass hands.. do I complain.. nope.. I love it.. I'm the crazy bitch finishing her leg workout and flipping a 300lb tire.. I still look fucking good doing it!
The world needs more tire flipping crazies! Now grab a sledgehammer too, and GO GET SOME!
OH SHIT Pagan I did the sledge hammer... The fellas said I swing like a girl!! Asses! However, fourth set they didn't have much to say.... Since they had to quit after the third! That stuff will kill you
angusI like the way you swing.....bring your man too.
You like it rough.. we know this already!
Actually you inspired me today.. Leg day squats, deadlift, leg sled and lunges... Then I thought, what the hell I still have some left, so I went out and threw a tire around then pummeled it with a hammer. Threw up in the weeds and went home feeling awesome! Thanks for the inspiration!
safetyfirst21I fucking hate hot women around me when I'm training. Yes, they're pretty, Yes, if I have to force out a couple at the end, they do help with the motivation. But fuck, I'm not staring for my own reasons. I'm focused on whats actually important. I swear these bitches follow me around trying to get me to stare.
"I swear these bitches follow me around trying to get me to stare."
LMFAO.... what?? Delusionallllllll......
he is delusional.
Personally I love when beautiful women are around during the workout. Especially when a hottie walks by I always try to do a few more reps.
If I was a loner like safetyfirst I'd workout by myself at 2am lol
I have to confess I use a weight belt sometimes if I'm maxing out on a flat bench press or inclines, but so does Dexter Jackson
Ace VenturaHaha, that's the one thing I don't really see a problem with. I'm pretty sure some bodybuilders wear it just to try and keep the waist tight.
Ive posted this before but there is a probably 45 year old guy at my gym that comes in a suit, goes into the bathroom and changes, comes out wearing karate pants and a wife beater. He then walks around to the young guys making jokes, like highschool jokes, about other members and says things like "right? us young guys gotta stick together" and then proceeds to the aerobics room to do very poorly formed and very self made karate kicks in the mirror accompanied by loud screams. My only guess is that hes been raped before and practicing fake self defense makes him feel like a man again. Hes probably not all there in the head... so once again im a piece of shit for making fun. Oh well.
This write up is great though. I needed the laugh. +1
AnonGuys who bench 315 and get spotted every single rep! Guys who are that nasty pasty no sun in 30yrs color!! Go outside fucker!!! Guys who superset everything and try rushing u when ur doing the exact same thing! What bitch u think ur the only one entitled to superset?? Then ur shocked when I tell u to go fuck yourself??
Guys who weigh 130-140-200lbs and try puffing up on me and not give me room when I walk by. Fuck bro I got over a 50" chest I can't turn sideways for every prick who wants to see how big they are by walking next to me. I'm a pretty mellow dude but the next guy is getting shoulder checked into the treadmills.
The lady who wears her lingerie to work out and expects me not to stare when her pussy and ass are all sweaty. Hello!!! Ur ass and snatch are literally soaked all the way through. I'm a straight man wtf do u expect. Don't act shocked or offended. I've seen strippers wear more clothes than u have on.
Gym owners who start a yearly fee and never tell the customer and charge without notice!! That's stealing. N don't be mad cuz I dispute the charge and get money back.
Teenagers!!! Take the gym serious or go play ur games at school. I will kick the shit out of u no matter what age. If ur over 12yrs old I will kick u in the stomach!! If ur under 12 I will literally pimp slap u like a HO.
Fat people. Don't get all offended if I offer some tips while I see u struggle. I love seeing fat folks in the gym. Especially if ur giving it 100%. That's true courage and I applaud u. But it doesn't mean ur technique is correct. Some of u actually look like ur going to hurt yourself. Don't be so sensitive and self conscious u won't accept friendly advice.
The worst kind of person. The dude who thinks he's Adonis and acts like a asshole. Whatever u do don't fuck with me. U look great but ur attitude is shit. I don't owe u an ounce of respect. Don't get touchy with me if I tell u to hurry the fuck up and quit talking to every bitch in the gym. Ur hogging the equipment. I will smash this 100lb dumbbell across ur face the next time ur doing flat bench. Treat people with respect and kindness and u won't have to worry that kind of shit happening to u.
safetyfirst21We would get along swimmingly.
Hahaha I remember when my gym tried to raise my monthly! I walked in there hot and heated as a mother fucker. I demanded to speak to a manager. I caused the biggest scene ever I started shouting saying that's bullshit my fee was raised without notice and I been here since the day this place opened... and went on for a good 10 mins and threatened to quit before the owner walked in and pleaded me to continue being a member there
came out of it with a LOWER monthly than I previously had. Haha one thing is for sure when I get mad I get MAD but I always end up on top. You should see the way I deal with insurance companies... lol
ladies and gentlemen this is the power of tren talking LOL
Lmfao! I would enjoy lifting with you bro! You would crack me the fuck up! I think the same way.
people not cleaning up after themselves drives me insane...best was today some kid was blocking the weight rack to flex then proceed to do fake basketball shots for 10 minutes. i was about to lose it when the manager came over and told him to move
safetyfirst21I have a guy who always likes to do muay thai kicks REAL close to me, I've almost punched him on a couple occasions just out of reflex. Come on bro, I don't care you can get your penis so close to your face.
No1Lmao
