: Gym Pet Peaves - post em up.
KWComp 11-02-2007, 03:57 AM I work out at pretty large gym (Lift Time Fitness), so needless to say, there is a pretty broad cross section of all the cretens in life represented there, I usually give em all nick names so I ll start with the ones that irked me most today.................
The Lazy Fuks
I am leaving the GYM today, and there they are again, no less than 3 cars circling the parking lot looking for spaces close to the door. There are TONS of open spaces, you might have to walk 30 - 50 yds, but tons of em. Are they afraid their going to get TO MUCH exercise?
fjorn 11-02-2007, 04:03 AM My only pet peeve that I'm concerned about is that I can't really workout like I used to anymore. All I can really do is mild calisthenics and cardio. :mad
As to other people, I don't know what that's like. I have a full gym in my basement. :mock
KWComp 11-02-2007, 04:06 AM I dont know what it is with old men in the locker room, but none of the fkrs put a towel on going to or from the showers. One of the wrinkly mother fuggers in particular takes it a step further. I kid you not....he stands there and uses a Blow dryer to blow dry his ass and balls, and its not like he is subtle about it. He throws a foot up on the counter, the same one other people brush there teeth at, and proceeds to blow dry his nasty ass crack and balls.
Is that really neccessary? :mad Its one of those things when you see it you just want to walk up and punch the guy, or at the very least ask him WTF do you think your doing, maybe just a little common courtesy, go do it somewhere else where other people dont have to stand next to you to shave and what not.
^ TMI KW :fact
When I did work out, it did bother me when people did not wipe of the machine after themselfs. :puke
KWComp 11-02-2007, 07:09 AM Havent seen this guy in a while, but there was one dude that would go into the sauna and do running stretches....naked. That was really fugged up. Near as I could figure he was training to be a professional streaker :dunno
KWComp 11-02-2007, 07:12 AM Another one that is interesting to watch, he has been a member at the gym for over a year, but I have never seen him break a sweat nor put any kind of legitimate work out routing together. He mainly just moves from one piece of equipment to the next with the only seemingly logical reason being to get close to this one asian girl that works out there. She on the other hand is a nothing but business in the gym, throws me for a loop. Its almost scarry how he follows her though, thought about asking her if he was bothering her, but after a year of it I have started to wonder if he's just an over protective BF or something.
gsxcorey 11-02-2007, 07:12 AM people who sit on a machine and hog it while they are between reps. people who slam their weights down when it's not enough weight to warrant it. Basically people acting like they are Arnold in the gym when they are not even close.

So Vale goes to your Gym? :crash
Lucky you :poke
:lol
Snair 11-02-2007, 07:15 AM sounds to me like you got a lot of exhibitionist homosexuals in your gym. hahaha out here it really does matter which gym you go to. one of them is known to be more of a male male meat market.
KWComp 11-02-2007, 07:18 AM naaa...Tons of chicks in this gym too. But its a HUGE place, Probably over 60-70 people there when I am there and thats 4:00 in the morning.
Snair 11-02-2007, 07:22 AM i hate the screamers. the little douches that hace the shirt ripped to shreds, mp3 thing strapped on their arm that try to awaken the gods with every rep. pull off a set and then pose for 5 minutes while hogging a piece of equipment like corey said.

:rofl:rofl
Yep...Seen one of them the other day. No shirt at all, skinny with a gut and thought he was Arnold.

Snair 11-02-2007, 08:00 AM slap him and tell him to GTF outta the way-this is my mirror bitch!!!hahaha. i wear loose sweatshirts and im not a poser but damn they seem to follow me. i get pissed and my wife tells me to leave them alone.
valerossi 11-02-2007, 08:09 AM I'm not sure about you people, but bunch of guys(you) talking about other naked or sweaty or built men and what they hate about them on a public forum is pretty damn ghey, it can't get any gheyer than this... :tfg It's like a bunch of bitches gossiping about other bitches... :lol
:fawkdance :fawkdance :lol

Snair 11-02-2007, 08:20 AM i really like lifting but cant stand most bodybuilders. a freind of mine who is also a member on here is a competative bb and i have never seen him act that way.
KenshinR1 11-02-2007, 08:52 AM the other day I was showering at the gym after the workout and I was the only one in there, while I had my eyes closed, I heard someone walked in. That fugger proceeded to use the shower head next to mine!? I was like wtf!? There are like 30 others, but the homo decided to shower next to me :rant :rantI had a deathgrip on my bar of soap so I didn't drop it :blush
oh I also can't stand fackers that load up the barbell when doing benchpress and only go down an inch instead of full ROM. Same thing goes with squats. These are the kind of people that brag that can bench so and so

I don't think its BBer's as much as it is the chumpzillas in the extra medium t-shirts trying to strut their non-shit in front of the mirror... I am only using the mirror to check my form and glance at the ocassional hottie :mrgreen
Snair 11-02-2007, 01:06 PM :rant :rantI had a deathgrip on my bar of soap so I didn't drop it :blush
soap on a rope haha

I'll totally agree with ya right there. Screaming and yelling under the strain of 1/4 of what the actual rep is supposed to look like.
My pet peeve? Fuggers that can do over 30 pullups. The little top-heavy tweaks that have to HANG weight while doing pull-ups to get a decent burn. :mrgreen
gsxcorey 11-02-2007, 03:37 PM no reason to carry a milk jug full of water around with you either LOL nobody is impressed...
babyit11 11-02-2007, 04:13 PM when a person finished using an equipment and doesn't take the time to wipe of the sweat from it.
its just nasty
KWComp 11-02-2007, 05:32 PM Another one, the lazy bastiges that cant bother to take the weights off the machine after they use it.
fjorn 11-02-2007, 05:48 PM Another one, the lazy bastiges that cant bother to take the weights off the machine after they use it.
Wimp. I left the 550 pounds on the bar in the squat rack to save you time. Just think, you won't have to load the bar and you can do drop sets to clear it. :workout
KWComp 11-02-2007, 05:52 PM :rofl - 550....Yeah, you can call me a wimp then cause Iam not moving that, put it on a sled and I can press it, not on squat though.
no reason to carry a milk jug full of water around with you either LOL nobody is impressed...
wtf? i do that, it has nothing to do with impressing people its just after a cardio work out i literally down that shit with a small bottle of gatorade :lol
babyit11 11-02-2007, 06:57 PM fat guys/women that after every set that have to look in the mirror.
like come on u are not lossing weight by the sec
people that go to the gym, and people that work out.........those are my pet peeves.
Saint 11-02-2007, 08:17 PM people that bend the damn dumbbells by dropping them after doing dumbbell presses, so now they're bent and before you lean back on the bench with them you have to make sure the bowed side will be facing down , so you're not having to try and press PLUS keep them from rolling in your hands. Stupid twats.
kneedragger77 11-02-2007, 08:48 PM people in general at the gym piss me off. I like working out when NOBODY is there.
mattf 11-02-2007, 08:52 PM people in general at the gym piss me off. I like working out when NOBODY is there.
:imwst that's why I can't even walk out onto the floor until 10pm or later.
And is it really THAT hard to put the weight back where you found it? Esp dumb bells? "That's right......those funny numbers on the end of the dumb bell match the funny numbers on the rack. Yes, they go together! So put them back there!" Do you HAVE to put the 30's where I just picked the 80's up from?
Snair 11-02-2007, 09:01 PM :imwst that's why I can't even walk out onto the floor until 10pm or later.

Do you HAVE to put the 30's where I just picked the 80's up from?sorry but after i lift the 30s im too tired to walk back. i figure if you use 80s you are stronger than me so you can do it haha
thats why i work out early. generally im at the gym at 4 without anyone there people start packing in at 430 but by then my primary workouts are done. i cant workout late, i fall into a lazy period.
fjorn 11-02-2007, 09:53 PM :rofl - 550....Yeah, you can call me a wimp then cause Iam not moving that, put it on a sled and I can press it, not on squat though.
You're a young punk and you can't do that? For shame!
people in general at the gym piss me off. I like working out when NOBODY is there.
Why do you think I invested so much money into a home gym? I don't have to wait for anyone, and I can get just as good of a workout at home as I ever did in a gym.
KenshinR1 11-02-2007, 10:03 PM You're a young punk and you can't do that? For shame!
I guess I'm a wimp also, cuz I can't squat or deadlift that :(
fjorn 11-02-2007, 10:13 PM I guess I'm a wimp also, cuz I can't squat or deadlift that :(
I'm a wimp too...
Friend of mine is 45, and could block pull 750 at 5'6" 145 lbs. I forget what his best is on all lifts, but he set a couple of records a few years ago.
Another friend of mine is 57(?) now, and is constantly setting records every year for his age group. Will be interesting to see what he does once he's over 60. :workout
The other guy on my team benched 405 at a bodyweight of 174. He's since retired from competition, and now told me that he's been playing with reps for 225. He's currently up to 32 reps. :workout I'd like to see what he could do with some Olympic lift training.
KenshinR1 11-02-2007, 10:22 PM damn! impressive! not many people can bench twice their bodyweight
fjorn 11-02-2007, 10:30 PM Yeah, it's amazing to be around such strong people and see what they can do in lifts. Gives a lot of motivation at times to think they can do that at such a light weight. I came into the strength game a little too late, and with some injuries from other sports. Which, unfortunately, means I'll never see weight percentages like they can pull.
I started working with my son recently, and given his age (14) and genetics (he's 5'9" and a very lean 165 pounds), I'll really be interested to see what he can do. He's on a break between football and wrestling season, so I'm doing plyometrics and such with him. Once he enters into off-season from wrestling (end of February), I'll be working with him on a good program. He's got some more muscle mass to put on in order to continue to play center. Although, I'd rather see him continue to play defensive end more.
I dont know what it is with old men in the locker room, but none of the fkrs put a towel on going to or from the showers. One of the wrinkly mother fuggers in particular takes it a step further. I kid you not....he stands there and uses a Blow dryer to blow dry his ass and balls, and its not like he is subtle about it.

Oh my god it's the same at my Gym... Fucking wrinkly ass old guys walking around butt fucking naked shaving or doing god knows what while at the gym...
COME ON this is not your house throw on some fucking underwear..
No1stunner 11-03-2007, 06:06 AM people trying to VIST while im working out...
babyit11 11-03-2007, 10:41 AM people that carry their cell with them while workin out.

BrnEyzR1 11-03-2007, 10:30 PM when someone starts working out right next to me with BAD breath...and of course you have to work out with your mouth open....grrrrr

walker 11-04-2007, 10:59 AM people bs'ing.. i can't stand when i want to use a bench and someone is facking off on it :/
donniedarko 11-04-2007, 12:09 PM I work out at Gold's Venice. It is the worst of the worst. 9 am or around 5 pm, totally donkey show. However, when I go in there generally its super motivating because after 7, even later its the focused athletes, and I feel like I can put my head down and get my focus on.
As for all the forementioned complaints, I think it happens at all gyms, some worse then others.
Most of my clients I dont even train in a gym.
BrnEyzR1 11-04-2007, 12:14 PM wow, how close to u are they for u to smell their breath :dunno

kneedragger77 11-04-2007, 05:38 PM following up on what many have said....people that use the gym as a social club. Working out with "their crew" and some friends show up and they hug, stand around and then work out some more...
I gave up Golds Gym a few years ago. My gym now is an old mechanics shop that was turned into a gym. No AC, and just weights and mirrors. FTW
big_rob_sydney 11-06-2007, 10:04 AM I hate it when I do a set, stop for literally "1 second", and someone asks me if they can "just jump in for a set".
I hate it when people stand around and talk.
I hate it when I go at 10pm because thats when all the lazy bastids are home sitting on their couch, and one of em breaks free and decides to use the bench press bench as their couch, not actually doing anything, when I want to do a set.
I hate it when I'm working to exhaustion, and some prick tries to help "Come on duuuude, one more rep, you can do it". This would be seconds before I try to bury a dumbell into his pea sized cranium...
I hate it when theres a bunch of school kids in there who are lifting what a 5 year old can lift, and they're just taking up space.
Finally, I hate myself when I want to do some obscure bodypart, and I have to use light weights - the kind that said school kids are monopolising.
Ahhh, who am I kidding. I just hate people full stop. Fuggers.
how about this one, youre at the gym at 4am and there is no one around but you but the 1st person to come in after you decides that he HAS to use the cardio machine right next to yours. meanwhile there is 10 other machines that are exactly alike the one next to you. and too boot she smells like cigar and a mixture of cat piss. fucking ****!
