Why do dumb asses insist on using the squat rack for curls? they take the 45 lb bar and put 5 lbs on each side. I want to squat and it never fails there is mr. super curler curling 60 fing pounds in the squat rack. why not use the curl bars? can some one please help with this before i kill some one.
While i am at it why does every ass who just starts working out feel like he needs to buy an under amour shirt.
Please feel free to post what pisses you off at the gym.
it will be like a support group

lol i agree with the squat rack curl comment but i aint gonna lie i got plenty of under armor shirts, i hate the ones who come in with tight ass jeans and timbs dont really work out spend more time looking in the mirror
Oh man. Just saw this thread and needed the laugh. Tools.
Two annoying things are bros pretending they have zero peripheral vision, and folks who feel compelled to exclaim something at the end of each set (like tourettes, but not really). We know you are "in the zone" and we know you know you are annoying everyone. That doesn't make you cool or focused . . . it makes you a dick.
im confused...like grunting? Because I grunt, its natural, exhaling air on a set.
Or... are you talking about when Im done pounding weights, throw them down, and then scream, OOHHHHH YYYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I mean a grunt or strain noise or whatever to power through your last rep is fine!
If you aren't exhaling between reps, you probably aren't doing yourself a whole helluva lot of good, either!
And yes, you basically are done (the weight is down), and you decide now I want to roar or something else retarded.
My all time favorite was this dude/douch who yelled, "ZITS!!!" after the weight was down. He did this after EVERY set.
My lifting partner and I asked him if he could tone it down, and he said it was for focus. I said what was left to focus on, the weight is down and it battle is over. Needless to say where weren't becoming fast friends.
FUCKING BODY SPRAY AT THE GYM, it never fails i am breathing like my life depends on it cause I AM ACTUALLY WORKING OUT and some fuck male/female walks past with a bottle of bodyspray on and damn near kills me. Now as to your post, lol not gonna lie years and years ago i use to do that haha live and learn lol
phil113kgAt my gym there are certain few who have no idea what deodorant is and instead stink the place up like some kind of goat farm. Then they walk around as if their shit don't stink. There are others that use the elliptical cycle located near the mirror and chunk sweat or god knows what else all over the mirror and the floor and do very little to clean up after themselves.
AnonAt my gym there is this older guy that insists on clapping his hands while on the tread mill, it get's really annoying so I went up to him and asked him to stop. Big mistake on my part, the management did not like me doing that and say he is special, I am like WTF?
Anonhahahah the classic "new years resolution" squad..
They will be gone soon.
The WORST!!!
When the tiny guy takes the 5's, 10's, and 15's over in front of the 80,90,100's and set a fucking bench up right in front of the rack and mirror, and does his fucking 100 rep out flys. (this happen to me last night)
I just picked up the 100's and rowed them fuckers with my ass buried right in his face!!! no homo
phil113kgGot a laugh on this one!!!!!!
What pisses me off at the gym is when at 530am i go to do cardio and there is a whole row of empty eliptical machines, but there are some people the will come up and get on the machine right next to you... i really dont get it... i know i am pretty but c'mon... happened to me again this morning , some dude gets right next to me while there ia a row of 20 other eliptical machines , then he starts sneezing and coughing the whole time... its usually someone who doesnt even look like they work out...drives me nuts.
What if I'm shadow boxing while holding 20 lb dumbbells?
So what you're saying is that you'll shit your pants before you use the handicap stall in the men's room... That you'll signal a lane change even though your the only one on the road... Take a number when your the only customer in the butcher shop...
Common sense is to assess your situation and act accordingly: Empty gym; who gives a fuck. Full gym; curl somewhere else.
I also read down a bit that you said that you can be big and lazy. As I am not the smartest guy in the world I would for you to not only enlighten me with your obvious superior intelect on how it is possible to be big and lazy. Now there is big,fat and lazy yes but big muscular and lazy. Please enlighten me captain common sense. Or are you just another person who is full of himself and loaded up on self righteousness. I chose to use the squat rack cause I probbaly curl as much as you weigh.
Haha that's funny. For a moment I thought that you called me lazy. Ok so you tell me why if no one is using the squat rack or power rack that I shouldn't use it. Well the same could be said for using a a rack for bench press. If you aren't benching over 100kg then why are you using it. The main problem with people today is that they think I am paying to come so I should be able to use whatever I want when I want. There is a thing called gym etiquette that seems to have been forgotten. If some on is sitting on something and doing nothing then sure give them a hurry up other wise pull your head in. Everyone is in the gym for a reason. It's a public gym so the public go there. Put up with it or get your own set up. Simple
phil113kgHey bro, I think someone got under your skin there. I feel you man. I seen your pics and I know you mean business. Keep rocking bro and remember I will beat you!!!!!!
Sounds too much like common sense to me... you must be an Aussie conservative.
Ah yes I am a Aussie but not so conservative. Unfortunately common sense isn't common any more
dansta123if you knew how big this guy is im sure you wouldnt say hes lazy..if no ones around do as you please.
When the gym is not busy I'll use the squat rack because I hate to bend over to pick up the barbell from the floor when I am wearing my bicycle pants (they ride up my ass). Besides, if I don't have to bend over I can look at myself in the mirror more (I look good in my under amour shirt).
phil113kgGotta love it, lol lol lol
Lol... I usually take my lap top and do some P90X in the middle of the gym. This way I'm not only a distration, but I'm in the way of everyone. It's my favorite! Seriously though, I really did see some dude do that the other day. Greatest thing ever. It would have been annoying if it wasn't so funny.
I get annoyed when I see overweight people using 5 pound dumbells. I wanna scream at them and tell them to step it up a bit.
Well some times I do curls in the squat rack. Depending how busy the gym is at the time. I do use a tad more weight on the bar than you mentioned. Its a personal thing. Maybe you should suggest to them to use the pre-loaded bars as they will be easier for them and not take up a piece of equipment. Remind them about Gym Etiquette. What does piss me off in the gym though is people screaming when they lift. There is no need for it other than to get attention
dansta123i grunt..im a grunter.no homo
Grunting is fine bro. I mean the dude that screams at the top of his lungs
Just get a T-shirt that says
" I'm on Tren,get
the Fxxk out of my way"
One of the trainers at my gym has ppl using the leg press machine for back excercises its pretty ridiculous
Could you elaborate perhaps, because I can't even picture how that would work. Does he have them grab the back and row it?
Its a hammer strngth machine so he has them stand behind the sled pf th leg press amd hold the bars u would put plates on and pull as in doing a row its the most awkward waste of tome ive seen especially when there is a row machine and a whole rack of dumbells to be rowed
The gym I go to,sometimes I'm the only one there.I mean only one,no employees,no one.
biggerthanyouI get pissed that there are other people at the gym PERIOD. Unless its another obvious juicer! I don't mind them as much
raider...is there a mirror in front of the squat rack?? If so, that would explain it.
There's an easy way to deal with that. I just kick them out of there. You don't have to be a dick about it, just tell them that the squat rack is not for curls. Anyone can pick their curling weight off the floor. Most of the people who do this are pretty new to the whole thing and just don't know the etiquette.
Also, given that you're inevitably dealing with noobs in such instances, if you are appreciably muscled, they will normally cower to your demands out of intimidation.
I use the same approach but we also have some outright meatheads that have gone to the gym for years and couldn't care less. And then they leave their weights from the last set. Assholes, all of them.
I know the feeling. Would like to snap thier necks. I start going to a gym this week. Been working out at home for about two years. In the past the gym I was going to got tried of the bullshit. People hogging equipment standing around bullshitting and doing nothing. I like the idiots that put on so much weights that they are really doing nothing just making lot of noise. Work out or get the f$&@ out! Feel for you bro.
I have always approached those people with the question "hey are you guys farmers?" when they give you that quizzical look, tell them "bullshit is great for growing corn but not muscle." Usually you will get a laugh and they get on their work out. Unless they are total dick wads...
Fuck that hogging equipment shit too; we always butt ourselves in and say, "mind if we work in? Noticed you're taking extended rest periods between your sets and we're on a schedule. Thanks bro" (which at my gym half the time is answered with a "que me dijo? perdon no hablo ingles" LOL)
I was curling more that that when I was a baby!!!! That's what u must say to the girly man. Hahaha I used to get mad when a ma fucka had the dumbella I needed and would use them for all there sets taking about 30 minutes to do 3 sets between the txt messages and there water breaks.
What pisses me off is when someone claims to be dedicated to the gym so you choose to be work Out partners with this person and they never show up!
Another thing that pisses me off is when a person is using a machine or equipment incorrectly and they have a shitty body build and do not realize NO results based off their performance - JUST GIVE IT UP! lol
LOL bro i would say something... or if I'm not in the talkative mood I'll walk myself to the curling rack get a 60lb and drop it next to him and than take his bar to squat when he takes his 5 min break.
