Gym Rants

[drtbear1967]

Very few thing piss me off, I am a very laid back person that gets along with everyone. However, I do have one rant when it comes to the gym. Powerlifters!!! Ok I get it, you want to lift heavy ass weight... that is cool but if you cannot control it going down, you have no reason to lifting it. What if everyone trained at the gym like powerlifter? Finish up a heavy set of pulldown, just let go and let the weight smack the stack. Same thing with all the Hammer Strength equipment and lets not forget pushdown. Just let go and let the weight fall. Wonder how fast someone from management would be tell us not to treat the equipment that way?

Think the next time I am doing heavy bent rows on the smith machine I will just drop the weight and see what happens.

Amen! I fuckin hate being in the zone doing lat pulldowns looking at the ceiling and some ass monkey drops the stack

 

[drtbear1967]

What gripes me most is these idiots that bring their smart phones into the gym and between sets on the smith machine they sit there for 5 minutes playing with their smart phone. They tie up the smith machine or some other piece of equipment for a 1/2 hour while other people are waiting. There are other people who act like they own the place with little regard for other people. This seems to be prevelent in society in general. Everyone only concerned with themselves.

I couldn't agree more with the aggravation but I think it's just laziness not just powerlifters.

AMEN!!!! People go to the gym to work "Thumbs" more then they work out, and then slam those damn weights. I remember a story that I read years ago that Vince Gironda where he kicked Lou Ferrigno out of the gym due to him being to loud.

What the hell is going on with people taking off their shoes... put your shoes on, no body wants to smell your stinking feet!!

Those that take a dump, dont wash their hands and start using the equipment.

Thank you all for reminding me why I built a home gym!

How about using the leg press. You know you're gonna end up with 10 plates on a side, amd you collect them all before starting. Some ASSHOLE comes over while you're doing a set with only 7 per side and takes one for the bench press WHEN TJERE ARE PLENTY OF PLATES ON THE WEIGHT TREES! This jerkoff actually got upset with ME when I insisted he put it back!

Makes you want to just smack him in the mouth with the plate!! We need idiot buttons in the gym!! Just pin one on their chest so we know to just avoid them.

Like I said, this is why I built my home gym.

But, yeah, there should maybe be mamdatory gym etiquette classes, includimg refresher training AND TESTS. No pass test, no gym pass.

After having thought about it for a while, the one thing that pisses me off the most is when people make fun of newbies. I have seen men and women come into a gym and no one help them or even make is worse and call them names. We all started somewhere and we need to remember that, and help others.

 

[drtbear1967]

People need to have some gym etiquette.

Back in the day, you would have guys that would let the newbies know what was and wasn't acceptable. But we also respected those guys and understood that there would be consequences if we screwed up. Now most of the newbie think they know more that those that have been training 30 years. All they want to talk about is how to get gear and how much to take. Screw putting in your dues.

 

[drtbear1967]

What about those that sweat everywhere and don't clean up after themselves... they are ass monkeys as well!!
