Sitting/standing around jaw jacking with people or on their phone texting.... or taking a picture! I'm all with a quick what's up, how's it going with people you build relationships with in the gym. But talking about your daily plans after the gym and what is going on in your personal life should be talked about at other points and time. That's just me

people standing in my way in a super crowded gym rapping to themselves with there beats by dre headphones pisses me off.

Doesn't really matter at my gym we have 6 squat racks not including the 6 smith machines so we never have that problem of them not being open.

I've always worked out at military gyms and the biggest pet peeve was the cross fitters and curling in the squat rack.

But now I'm going to a commercial gym and I've gotta say: not putting your weights away is definitely the worst thing you can do and everyone leaves them

What if you curl more than the crossfit pussies on the racks squating

2 guys training together who spend more time taking and pulling each other off than using the squat rack or whatever machine they are hogging at the time.

The FUCKS texting while supposedly using equipment... WTF, most of the time its a person who shouldn't even be in a gym and has NO CLUE what training is about.. And lets not forget, they take 20 minutes between sets as well.. I can keep going but now my BP is blowing up so I will end it there.. Peace Out..

Bros.

One that drives me insane for some reason is that guys that put clamps on the bar when bench pressing. There is no reason in the damn world to do this on the bench , plus if in the event you had to dump it you are screwed. Ok, rant over..

1. Mobile phones.

2. Water bottles strew all over the fkn floor.

3. Sweaty fkn tissue strew all over the fkn floor.

4. Fuckers that stink, not the fresh sweat smell but days old putrid dirty bastard stench.

5. Dumbbells and plates dumped after use instead or re-racking... this really gets me fkn steaming.

6. Men in latex leggings (WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT?).

7. Crossfit freaks jumping around like they have something inserted into their ass-holes.

8. People who constantly ask for advice but clearly never put it into practice.

9. Noisy fucks who grunt and groan but never use any REAL weight.

10. fkn chicks always pestering me for sexual favours (lol).

I hate people staring at me, the kind that when you are resting between sets you can notice they are looking at you all the time, every time and every day the same persons, i feel im surrounded by gay guys and the more i train there the more uncomfortable i am, cant rage at them or change gym because its the closest and best gym by far in the area. I am probably on of the few who do gear but im not even a beast mode guy, just above the average (what a few test cycles can do)

I hate people who invent exercises and look ridiculous, specially when a couple of guys are training. Its always the smartass with girl arms with his acolyte who will believe every single word.

I hate people who make too much noise for no reason. We've all done it, grunting or making noise on the last few reps, but some people do it right since the first one, i would love to drop the weight on their heads.

Machine or equipment hogs. Whether it be the idiot on his phone (texting or talking); the 5 machine "super-setter", who is gone from each machine for 5-20 minutes and then throws a fit when you jump on; or the "I'm using two benches for dips, even though there are no other available benches, and I'm taking 10 minute breaks between sets."
The other is not racking your weights. I feel my head turning red when I see an idiot walk away from a piece of equipment and he just leaves all the weights on the bar or machine. They always seem to leave a towel there as well.

Any ass hole taking too long on one machine. Epically if he's talking on his phone or friend. Be curtious and fuck off and let someone else use it.

The uniform tops being dried in the cages where i do forearms...

these 2 chicks at my gym, their fit looking, but they are just naturally skinny, they wear al lorna jane clothing, that full on fancy fluro coloured stuff, im talking $1000 out fits, the shoes, pants, socks, top, sweat bands, drink bottles, towel, bags etc etc all lorna jane- all matching! they come into the gym 3 times a week at the same time every time, they go onto the treadmill for maybe 8-9 minutes tops, they stop and start taking selfies- they automatically upload these pics to facebook then they leave, i have seen the screens i know they post then to fb straight away- i assume it would say hard workout at the gym, puffed or some shit.

so- people who take selfies! hate that shit in the gym.

I had a funny experience with something along these lines. We have a nautilus preacher curl machine. I rarely if ever use it for preacher curling but I do sometimes do shrugs on it, drop sets at the end. It has a nice groove for shrugs, easy to drop weight quickly etc.

So some spotty adolescent watches me shrugging on it and tells me I'm using it wrong. I say it's ok, I'm using it in a weird way. Then he tells me I shouldn't do that as I may damage it and the guy that owns it is asshole and huge.

My response?

Is he? Never mind, he'll get over it. It's my machine. In fact it's my gym......

Ill do what I want if there is no one in there. in the mornings when I lift I have never seen people fighting for the squat rack and there is only three.

Everybody else in the gym. They are all inconveniences in some way.

People who don't re-rack their weights.. but honestly if I catch them I always say something.. it just aggravates me..

Waiting for something while that person is either yappin their ass off to someone else or dickin around on their phones...who the hell do you NEED to speak with or look up for that hour or so that you're there?? Get in, workout, get the hell out!

i changed gyms recently from a dungeon type serious gym to a commercial gym and today I saw someone curling in the squat rack for the first time in years. I'd have to agree that's my biggest pet peeve. Second would have to be gyms that don't let me carry my bag around with me and make me leave it in the locker room. It's s real pain in the ass when you have straps wrist wraps belt water, protein shake, notebook, keys etc. I hate that. Working on my own home gym now so I don't have to deal with that crap and can do 2 a days

Gym staff that admonishes me against slamming the barbell down when doing heavy deadlifts. It's deadlifts for fuckssake!

People that socialize more then they lift!! Get the fuck out!! This ain't no tea party..
