Has anyone ever told you to hurry up on the bench

[GUnit33]

This pisses me off too...I don't go to the gym to hurry up...I go to get in a solid workout, and when someone trys to hurry me, I take all the time in the world in retalliation. Now, on the flip side, if someone asks to work in with me, I have no problem doing that. They can get their lifts in while I take a rest...but try to hurry me up, you're goign to wait a long ass time.

However, there is a difference to someone using a piece of equipment for a lengthy amount of time to someone just deliberately taking the piss and being downright obtuse.

I usually just run like a little girl when this happens

Actually I have not had problems in the gym for years. If someone touched me in the middle of a set, I would be pissed (did you know that is actually against the law to go up and just touch some one? it is classified as sexual battery ) I would just lose it then. I once chased a salesman down the street because he said something to piss me off and just turned his back and walked out, so I screamed " come back, I want to buy something!" these bltches that set out and smoke all day a few doors down were freaked out that I chased the guy. When the guy went back to his car, he walked all the way around the parking lot I could of got in trouble for that so figured I should calm down. I just got pissed that he said something smart assed and then tried to leave

Im currently in week 3 of german block training so i do 8 sets of 6 reps for bench press. i dont take really long breaks... maybe 30 secs to a minute

everytime i would lie on the bench i would see this guy standing behind me doing nothing but i thought nothing of it

at my 5th set he comes to me and asks me "how many sets do you have left?"

Me: "3 sets"
Him: "you've done 5 sets already"
Me: "yes i know"
Him: "Ok could you keep it up?"
Me: Excuse me? Are you telling me to hurry up?
Him: You've been on there for 10 minutes already
Me: Well im going to be on this for 20 minutes more if i feel like it

and he walks away

I really wanted to punch his face in... but i resisted

Share the bench. I would have walked up and TOLD you I'm working in. It's not like you don't rest or breath between sets. If you had a problem with sharing I would tell you to hurry the fuck up.

That's what I do when skinny dip shits do that superset shit and take up a few benches at once They just kind of look at you and move on. Big guys at my gym are cool and respect each other, I've known alot of them since the old ballys days so no problems

I have no problem letting people work in with me.

[Hunter]

I let people work in, no sweat.

What happens if you bench 335 and the other dude benches 155...

They load my weight back on for my set.

Then say you have two sets left and will be done in a minute.

My new gym has a lot of guys who compete. No one has a problem sharing or working in.
