+ 2 The Most Irritating things Idiots do in the gym .....

ad

Now I know this Topic has been done by others before in the past, but that was some time ago now and since we have an entirely New Breed of members since back then - I think its time for another round to Blast these Dickheads!!!

Plus I can now contribute to this rather than just saying 'that's why I train at home - I don't know how you do it!!!' LMAO

Mine is pretty simple. Broccoli heads wearing pajamas and sandals. Those same broccoli heads and teenagers on gear. You barely have facial hair gtfo. Maybe it’s the tren but I just wanna beat some sense into them.

You've just made me realise something mate - that Broccoli haircut must have gone out of fashion here quick because no one I see has it anymore!! Not seen a single one in the gym either. Most em them have now transitioned to this look - which to be honest is a vast improvement.

I know I am maybe too old and we live in a world where you do things on real life just to look cool on virtual life but people recording their workout will always annoy me

I love my ladies but damn they can be so damn annoying sometimes. Today while squatting the three ladies in the rack next to me, talk and laughed for 30 min with out a single rep being done. I see ppl watching them thinking like "BITCHES, GET THE FUCK OFF THE RACK". I finish squats, go do leg curls to then realize only one of the chicks is actually using the equipment. They where just catching up.

Too many to list but I’ll try. I know I’ll forget some.

  1. Not re-racking weights. Not because I’m lazy but because the gym is for EVERYONE - which includes old people and people with injuries who may not be able to lift your plate off the machine. This one really makes my blood boil because I know several old ladies and old gents who are handicapped and/or injured and they deserve to be considered.

  2. Telling people lifting gloves (or belts etc) are useless or gay or lame or whatever. People have reasons for why they use what they use. At least they’re putting the time and effort in. Go do something productive instead of shitting on people.

  3. Having horrid hygiene. Never thought this would be an issue because everyone at the gym stinks but there’s this one young(ish) kid that’s tall as a bamboo plant and just as thin but I was literally 15-20 feet away from him and couldn’t hit my set because I was literally gagging. When I was in 7th grade PE class and we had PE clothes that I kept forgetting to bring home to wash they would get this rancid aged-sweat smell after a week or two…and that’s exactly what this college-aged guy smells like. I almost told him the gym supplies spray-on deodorant in the bathrooms and he needs to go use it.

  4. Talking too long. I have lots of friends at the gym. Lots. And we all talk. For short periods of time. But there’s always that ONE guy that never shuts up. I just hit my set and tell him I’m still listening to be nice and cordial but it’s still annoying.

  5. Moaning on lifts. Be a man. Grunt. Growl. Scream. Whatever. But moaning? You know how hard it is to keep lifting because I’m laughing at your gay ass moaning? Kills every set and I know what sound you make when your boyfriend stuffs your butthole.

  1. I can't stand when people don't re-rack their weights. i don't know what it is about the gym I joined but the culture around re-racking is horrible. Usually at least half the plate loaded machines will have varying amounts of weights on them when I come in. Staff doesn't do anything either even though there are signs saying there is a $50 fine for not re-racking. Usually the people that aren't re-racking aren't wiping down their machines either. I sweat like a motherfucker and I would feel like an asshole if I didn't wipe down after.

That's actually a really good idea Fining people who do not re-rack, I may suggest it to the manager of the place I got to as I get along pretty well with her now. Condition though if they use my idea is that they have to give me 50% of the Fine money!!!! LMAO

Surveillance cameras put an end to most BS. No rerack, no gym for you. No shirt, no gym for you. No cleaning up after yourself, No gym for you. Stalk the hotties, No gym for you. Use a handicapped- family friendly changing- bathroom because you are ashamed from the waist down, No gym for you

True story, about a month or so ago, before I fucked up my neck, I was doing leg presses. Headphones on, didn’t realize my phone slipped out of my pocket. I don’t stay seated between sets, I get up and stretch. I realized my phone wasn’t in my pocket, or on the ground. As I was looking around I saw it lit up in the guy next to me gym bag. I just gave him a look and his reply? “Oh is this yours,”. I’m not going to immediately judge, maybe he was going to leave it at the front desk, it’s not like you can really do anything with modern phones anyway, but it was on the ground for less than 30 seconds and wound up in his bag…

press1's picture

Not at my place when it comes to re-racking matey!!! There are literally cameras in the ceiling every 2 square metres as its one of those that is 24 hrs and after 8pm till 6am there are no staff present so if people get in trouble they send people out. There are really strict rules in place regarding NO Mobile filming or picture taking, Can't even approach females or stare and if you do and the girl makes a complaint they check the surveillance cameras and if true then ban you!!! Seriously, nobody ever stares at the women its pretty funny. In fact its always the women checking the guys out when lifting LMAO

I’ve never told anyone what they should or shouldn’t use when it comes to equipment, but lifting gloves are gay as fuck. The only time I understand gloves are if you’re a woman.

No08's picture

What about belts, elbow/knee braces, versa grips, etc?

I wear lifting gloves but only on heavy press movements like bench or incline bench because at a certain amount of weight that little bar pries my hand bones apart and hits my nerves all weird.

I’d rather wear gloves for padding and move an amount of weight sufficient enough to train my chest instead of letting my hand nerves limit my chest/strength growth because people would rather belittle for using a piece of gym equipment than to just let someone be.

I really don’t understand all the hate towards gloves, especially since they play the same basic role as belts, elbow/knee braces, versa grips, chalk…they all help to ensure that the muscle group being trained is the limiting factor and/or help prevent or treat injuries. Same basic concept on all of those things…but only one gets you roasted.

I’d personally hate to be the guy that shits on someone for using something that helps them. It’s only gonna hold them back in the long run.

Any type of strap, belt, chalk or brace is cool in my book. I have a love hate relationship with straps cause they do fucking work especially for dead lifts and at a certain point almost become mandatory when enough weight is on the bar, but I feel like limit your forearm potential on other back movements that requires your grip strength. Old school guy would always say, "Bro I never used fucking lifting straps this is why my forearms were huge, and I never directly trained them either." Now days you have guys in the gym doing direct forearm training, that shit always makes me laugh inside to cause when I see it, the guys doing it look like they only been working out for 2 months.

The glove thing I stand firm on my opinion on it, but honestly who cares what I think anyways? Just keep using your gloves bro. I just take pride in weird things when I comes to training. My palms and fingers getting callused and torn up is a badge of honor for me, and this is why I don't use gloves. Whenever the day comes that my body wont let me lift weight no more, I just fucking hope I can look down at my hands and see the history that I did something cool and worthwhile in my glory days.

Or if they are too small and you wore them for a murder. But yes other than that you're a fag for wearing gloves in any other scenario.

I hate when I’m using the cable rack, and I’m going back and forth between two cables just banging out triceps and biceps. Mind you the gym is practically empty when I do this btw, I’m not a complete asshole just slightly.

Some guy comes up and goes to just jump on one of my cables, I then proceed to tell him I’m going back and forth. Bro literally seen me doing this, but tested me anyways. I then tell him if he would like then you can work in with me and bang out triceps and biceps, and we can just both keep going back and forth. The pussy then mumbles some illegible shit looks down and just walks away.

Idk why but that kind of shit is really irritating to me. You think you’re about to jack my equipment and me not say something?

The 2 Teenagers that have to act like two 12 year olds everywhere they go - each machine or piece of kit they use they have to carry on, shouting and laughing as loudly as possible. Everyone in the gym is getting pissed off at them and is glaring in their direction, which seems to make them act up even more. Of course they only do this as they know the Staff member watching over the gym is nowhere to be seen most likely on a break.

Dude these people are the fucking worst. Pisses me off so bad, you just mentioning this is getting me fired up!!

The Arsehole who can never be arsed to unrack his weights off the equipment he is using - Yep thats right Baby, you have to pull 8 plates off the Leg press before you can even begin your warm up routine. Despite there being signs EVERYWHERE round the gym stating that you MUST unrack your weights before you leave the equipment he still refuses to do it like some Entitled Twat.

Drexyl's picture

It’s the cables for me. I see all the weird shit at the cable station. People inventing new exercises and twisting themselves all up.

press1's picture

I'll Start .....

The Fuckin Twat who has to SLAM the weight stack on every machine on his last rep - You know the guy, his physique resembles a Twig on stilts and he's never lifting more than a quarter of the stack. He will MAKE sure he lets the stack drop from its highest point so it shudders across the entire gym and puts you off the set you are just about to go for ....... Then after he's done it he stands up as if he's ten men and stomps round the machine as if everyone there should be impressed by him.
