Gym Pet Peeves

[Cracker69]

Just curious what some peoples' pet peeves are in the gym environment. Or maybe just some stupid/funny shit you've seen there.

One of my biggest is the wiggers in the wife-beater tanks carrying the gallon jug of water. After a set, they take a swig out of the jug, and check their flexed arm out in the mirror during the sip.LOL They get that little side-look.LOL

Another one I mentioned years back was ILS(Imaginary Lat. Syndrome). They flare their arms out as if there are lats there pushing them out. Also known as "Air Lats".

And one stupid thing I just remember seeing when I use to be a trainer at Bally's was this bitch that would be running around the track, then out of nowhere, she would start shadow boxing, and kicking and screaming and shit. Funniest shit. Not near as good as the bitch with big ass titties and a camel toe that would be on the cable cross-overs everyother day sticking those things way the fuck out for all the world to see. Other than that, I just remember enjoying being the biggest mofo at Bally's LOL. But that was almost a decade ago. Now I'm the biggest mofo at the bank. Couldn't handle being at the gym 24/7. I started giving all the dumbfucks I saw nicknames and I made all my clients count there own damn reps, then just gave them the guilt trip line, if you cheat you only cheat yourself.LOL

lol, I'd make those pukes count there own reps too

 

[irishpride]

people who breathe my air...

 

[bigworm6]

People who scream or grunt outload during a set, when I say scream or grunt I mean OVERLY do it. I grunt through a lot of my sets, just helps me breath right, but when people do it just to get attention, thats annoying

I just hate people

there was 2 guys working out the other day, one bigger endomorphic guy and a skinny little dude. The skinny one never wears anything but long pants, and a wife beater. Apparently that makes him look bigger. Then he attempts to use the same weight that his "partner" is using and struggling with himself, but thats only when hes not checking himself out in the mirror.
My girlfriend has more muscle than this guy.

these threads are great... here's a few:

Since the Gold's Gym in the area closed, I recently joined a 'fitness club' .... but it's not bad, the scene is ok... regardless.

PET PEEVES

Guys (especially OLD CREEPY LOOKING GUYS) who strentch thier legs near the water fountain. WTF you sick bastard.... no offense but there's plent of different places to stretch your balls AWAY from the water fountain.
---
I really try not to be that guy, but people who talk on the cell phone more than working out... can't stand it!
---
People who sit on a machine and TALK to other people while resting... get off the fucking machine and let me work in a set... or AT LEAST give me the opportunity to ASK if I can work in you selfish prick... I don't want to be your friend... I just want to work out !!!
---
I can't stand people who fucking stand around and CHAT naked in the locker room... i mean C'MON ... WTF is your problem.... and here we go again with the old dudes.... you really gotta talk about baseball, or some other freaking garden project around your home, or your GRANDKIDS while you are fucking naked, hairy, fat, and disgusting?
---
How about BO ... you know the guy.. the one who LOOKS clean, but has that lingering BO smell that SMACKS you in the fact from about 15 away.. and STAYS in the area AFTER he leaves... I mean, shit dude... I got one word for you.. SOAP! ... not even deoderant.. I'm thinking this guy doesn't even shower... .... the mystery is.. how does he LOOK so clean?
---
I'm sure I'll think of more... but these are just a couple classics that just annoy the shit outta me...

 

[MrPerfect]

110lb guys that throw the 5's like their the 120's

 

[bigwick]

What about the dudes that load on way too much weight then do squats were they move maybe 4 inches or barbell press and they move the bar maybe two inches.

 

[Matt76]

ppl who ask me to spot them with weight that is way to heavy for them

There are now a few ppl in the gym who I refuse to spot and I told them it's b/c I am not going to do BBrows(when they are benching) or curls(when they are doing shoulder presses)

A guy had 275 on the bar on bench and said i'm going for 10 I did 15 last week. He as built like a 16yr old girl. I said ok and gave him a lift off. He goes to lower the bar and gets stapled, but i'm a pretty good spotter and didn't let him get hurt and pick the bar up and put it back in the racks. He then ask me why I racked the weight. I said you couldn't even do 1rep and he goes well you are supposed to help me

I just laughed and walked away

bump for more gym bullshit...

I gotta say this.... it's a riot... on a philly morning show they had 2 guys in a gym locker room naked.. playing connect 4 and operation and wanted to see how many complaints they got and reactions!!

I thought.. how ironic on timing!! anyway... one guy walks out of the gym and says, "What the FUCK! Now we gotta have THESE guys in here!!" I started cracking up!

anyway.. .bump for more gym pet peeves... i still hate the old hairy old naked guys who fucking chat in the damn locker room.. get your jollies somewhere else!!

anyway.. .bump

 

[Matt76]

I just hate when ppl talk shit when they think you can't hear them(head phones on). I have gotten into a few fights over this and punked quite a few ppl out. I also would hate it when I used to PL and ppl bashed gear or bands/chains

However, I workout at a gym now that is pretty damn awesome for the most part. We can all be douche bags and treat the place like it's our home. Hell, when I lift in the afternoon the freaks all have their shirts off working out and it's all gravy. I even join in from time to time and even though it's pretty douchey I enjoy it more and it is fun when you are lean

I've worked at a few gyms and worked out at many different gyms/clubs in the NYC area over the years. My all time favorite has to be the out of shape "trainers" who offer advice. My best line to an overweight trainer or as NYSC calls them "Gym Floor Instructor" - he started giving me advice on the Incline Bench and I was ignoring him so he started talkin louder and louder for other people to hear saying things like, you'll never improve unless you stop taking the bar all the way down to your chest... Finally I took my sweatshirt off and I said "If I do them your way will I look like you?" You got the picture and walked away.

 

[Matt76]

I am amazed at how many trainers look like they don't workout. IMO it isn't to hard to be 150lbs and have abs

yet all these douche bags are trainers at the commercial gyms I travel to when i'm on business

I did the exact same thing years ago. This old guy with coke bottle glasses
who looked like he never worked out - actually I never saw him work out -would hang around the Olympic lifters and listen to them getting coached
by the owner of the gym. He would go aroung trying to correct people on
their form ect. Everyone usually ignored him except the newbies who he
would screw up. One day he tried to tell me how to bench and I said
REAL LOUD -" If I do it your way will I look like you in 6 months?" The whole
gym started laughing. Last time he even looked at me. lol

I had a guy come up to me in the gym today. pretty solid 240lbs, used to be a trainer there, blah blah blah.
I started talking to me cause he saw me doing DC training and he does it too, he's put on alot of size over the last 2 years and now I know part of it was DC.
Anyways, he makes the comment of doing squats with 8 plates (per side?) and get this, deadlift with 7 plates per side for 10. LMAO!!!

ok, I'd LOVE to see that!

 

[h8tr3d]

I just hate it when they come up to you and say "wow, your gettin big!" Its like they want you to admit to them that your "on". Fags

 

[Local124bro]

I hate it when a chick is on that machine that works their inner legs that spreads them appart and they put a towel between their legs!!! Thats pisses me off!!!

 

[Cracker69]

LOL, damn that towel.

I hate it when people move into my personal space or into the way of my range of motion for a certain exercise. They know you are there working out, but they insist on moving close to you while trying to do DB Flys or leg raises or some shit. This old dude did this last night at the gym. I don't care if they are old or not, if they are assholes, they were probably assholes when they were younger, they just survived. Do you ever think Judge Judy was a fun date. Nooooo, shes a fucking cunt. Fucking move you old bastard. Respect your elders, whatever.
