+ 13 Gym etiquette : My list of four.
Gym Etiquette : My list of four, feel free to add to or take away . This is kind of a rant in the first place.
-
Wash your nasty ass gym clothes everyday or change them, never wear the same clothes with out washing them , that is just fucking gross your mom failed to teach you personal hygiene, do not make us all suffer because of it.
-
Clean the equipment when you finish with it, especially if there is visible sweat on the equipment it takes 10-15 seconds just do it. I do not care if your a sexy 10 in yoga pants, I am not licking your sweat up , well maybe...
-
When you are finished with the equipment, take your plates off, for the love of god I have a certain momentum
I like to work at and you are messing with my groove. -
Last and most importantly get your fucking ass up when you finish a set, do not rest in between sets on the equipment, other people are working around you be considerate. God forbid you are taking selfies or using your phone in between sets on a piece of equipment, I may go to prison for attempted murder the next time someone pulls that shit, If I ever cycle tren I will be getting a lawyer ahead of time.

Achilles412Wash your hands after you use the bathroom. Dirt balls
jayiskLove after dudes take a piss or dump..,dont wash their hands.., and use the public water fountain.
Urine is at least sterile but facile matter.., not good.
Achilles412I used to manage gyms for a few years absolutely blew my mind how I could watch a guy finish taking a dump walk out the stall and directly out the locker room and never break stride. Didn’t even think about washing their hands. Fuckin gross man
These are pretty much my exact gym pet peeves. Speaking of gym etiquette I saw these punk asses laughing at this older lady busting ass in the gym. I can’t remember the last time I was so mad if she would have seen them and stopped I don’t think I could have held myself back. Making fun of some old lady trying to get in shape SMH shit made me so mad. I know this is a little off topic but I needed to vent somewhere about it
If you’re filling up your gallon water jug please step to the right and use the short water dispenser or the one made especially for that so the people drinking out of the fountain can use the normal height one without having to wait forever.
Don’t set stuff or sit on equipment you aren’t using. Keep equipment you aren’t actually using free for other who may want to use it.
Don’t stand right in front of the dB rack exercising blocking people from accessing the db’s.
Don’t do barbell curls in the squat rack.
Don’t wear a stringer tank unless you’re at least 250lbs 5% bf (hint I train at a large Golds on the West coast and less than 1% can do this, yet everyone does it, halfway jk)
No ILS in the gym. Drop the suitcases you look dumb.
No filming yourself train, please. So annoying and you’re taking away from your effort. (Ahem millennials)
I’m not going to be a dick and ignore you, but please keep the chatter short so we can handle biz. Anything over 5 minutes and I’ll start twitching.
Daily showers and clean clothes are cool. Don’t be that guy who smells like ass within a 5-10 foot radius.
If you’re going to stare at the chicks in the gym, learn to use the mirrors. Don’t be that perv making the hot chicks uncomfortable/stop coming because you’re staring straight at their ass nonstop. Be tactful at least.
Bonus; maybe a secret annoyance not so much etiquette but people who bring their jump rope to the gym?!? Do that shit at home man.
Fuck you and number 5. I am 243 and nowhere near 5% but still will wear my stringer whenever the fuck I want! The rest of the list I can live with.
I’m sure you’ve got the mass darth...it’s the 143lb kid in his 20’s who walks around with ILS thinking he’s big AF. That should be banned. You’ve got to earn that stringer. 200# at least!
Lmao! I swear these BB types think they running shit:)
;-)
As far as the female gawking etiquette I’m normally solid and keep it classy. I have to say tho at times it can be reverse and it’s the female who throws it out there. Theres this young female who I’ve spotted with her dude before has been going a lot lately solo. Dude is basically a smaller younger version of me. She happens to have one of the best lower half development out of all the ladies who go in the PM hours. Not much of a looker up top but she’s never wearing makeup. Strictly a gym rat kind of chic. Well two nights ago I’m doing Romanian deadlifts on a platform and slightly in front of the platform there’s a leg curl machine. She knew I was there I can get a little loud and she just comes on over and drops down and puts in work. I don’t know if it was me but every grunt of mine got her grunting almost in unison. Every time I stood up and kicked in my hips she was curling and lifting her ass. It was not random. I’m breaking out in a full sweat and so is she. In between sets she keeps looking and I’m looking and we smiled a few times. In my mind I gave her the deadliest bang of her young life. In her mind she took it and threw it back. It’s was the most erotic moment I’ve ever had in the gym. All I kept saying in my head was “Don’t say hi to her, don’t say hi!” I held it down for all the good husbands out there and didn’t say hi. But she basically wiped my nose with her gymshark leggings. You gotta love the double standards becuase she basically raped me and I basically fell in love and didn’t feel offended at all;)
That was a damn good post
Hand to god true story
Sounds like a good workout. Bet you were able to bang out a few more reps each of those sets to keep things going which is always good for growth.
I grew good sir. I definitely grew...
Sometimes the motivation a hot chic thats beast mode in the gym can give is like rocket fuel to us!. Know the feeling as well brother...
So, does that mean no Groucho Marx glasses?
As for the rest, you should have started off with, "Dear Penthouse..."
Lmao! Hey I bet most of these younger cats couldn’t even tell you what Penthouse is:)
Haha that is a great story C-Los. Are you on tren lol? Because that’s exactly how I use to feel when I use to be on tren—just what you explained. I swear women seem to flock to us when on it...
I’m off now but yes:)
Its because you act more arrogant and confident when on it so it draws them to you lol
Sounds like you're giving instructions on how to use a bird blind. "If you're going to stick your head out, at least smug your face". You don't want to scare off the hot chicks
Lol. When I was little, I was the kid standing behind the men secretly waiving my arms when the ducks flew in trying to save them from getting shot.
At Golds you can see the look on these chicks faces, almost squirming because some creep is staring hard. I’m happily married and never talk or stare at the women there. It’s just awkward and inappropriate imo. I hate getting sucked in if chatting with a homie in between sets and they mention how hot that xyz chick is; staring and talking. I start to squirm myself. Awwkkkwwwward.
Here is old school easy one.
Pull the pin when you're done with the machine.
Where do you put it then?
Leave it hanging. I guess that's old school etiquette. I learned it back in 99'.
We just got steel pins with nothing attached. Take them out of the rack and they get lost.
jayiskon the cable machine i set the pulley up to the highest spot and put a heavy bar like the lat pull-down bar.
i leave the pin in and watch the next person..., who doesn't put their hands on the top plate before removing the pin.., get hit in the head with the bar because when they pull the pin the bar is too heavy.
then they look around rubbing their head and looking for sympathy like its the machines fault.
it only took me 1 or 2 times of getting hit in the head with by the bar while changing the pin to learn to hold the top plate before removing the pin.
I guess thats old school fun.
Well you obviously aren't new to the site. Welcome back maybe. Don't fuck it up this time/times
Why? Are you embarrassed when you have to peg up to a lower weight after grandma is done with her pull downs?
Fcukers that come to the bench (when they have plate holders to the side) and removing little 5kg plates (or whatever weight really), while you re lifting heavy and in the middle of a lift. That one deserves death, ya ask me
YES! and the arseholes expect you to stop mid-press for them...seriously pisses me off too.
Oh yeah, big time!!
5. Exercising in front of the dumbbell rack.
Get your dumbbells and move away!!! Don’t do shrugs, rows or anything else standing in front of the rack!!! How are people supposed to get their weight when your standing in front of the rack???
Yup
^^this. It's not that difficult to take 3 steps backward after grabbing your weights.
Yep! but mate...the mirror is behind the dumbbell rack and they really want to look at their non-rippling flaccid muscles....and then take a selfie.
#5. If you're sick, stay home. I'm tired of getting sick from sick people who think it's a good idea to go to the gym.
True. They think they will 'sweat out' their cold and all they do is infect others. These old wives tales are everywhere - where I live the people cover their heads with newspaper when it rains because they believe it wards off fevers...doesn't matter what you tell them about the actual medical facts - mama's mama's mama told them to do it...so....it is entrenched in the national psyche - regardless of education level.
No 5. Don't step in front of me with your noodle legs and spaghetti arms holding two 5lb dumbbells when I'm racking heavy dumbbells/plates.
How are the Gym's out there where you are mate - any good?
There are couple of franchise gyms - Gold's and that 24/7 franchise which i can't recall. The Gold's here is really small, has mainly aerobic gear and is really expensive. A new 24/7 gym has opened up in the mall, but I haven't checked it out - again, expensive membership and my gym is much closer. There are a couple of large, well-equipped gyms that are relatively cheap, but they are not air-con gyms. When it's 30+C every day with 90% humidity, I literally sweat out litres of fluid - not healthy nor comfortable. My gym is very small, but has enough gear now that I don't lift heavy anymore. It has air-con and I even get a 20% Seniors discount. 3 months membership costs me $70AUD, with free use of the pool - but I have never used it. No shade so the water is like a lukewarm bath.
Damn that's so warm and humid - you aren't kidding about needing air-con when training in that! How on earth do these guy's train in these gyms in Texas like where Coleman use to where its 40+ and no aircon - Animals.
Yes mate - it really is uncomfortable training in those conditions. I tried it for two years after coming here....it got old real quick. I had spent years working out in tin sheds in Oz - and that was ok because summer was 3 months of the year - but it's farkin' summer 12 months of the year here - so I decided to spoil myself.
I want to move where you are, today in my neck of the woods its 28f.
It's reasonably cheap to live here...come on over for a few months and get a feel for the place.
I disagree with the yoga pants part. Your crazy. I swarm to those spots like hyena on crippled gazelle baby and Roll around it in...
lmao, yea sometimes I get that urge, I restrain myself though.
Why? Aren't you at the gym to get huge?
