Stupidest things you hear in the gym...

[StoneGRMI]

"Man, I drank SO much last night. I hope I can go out again tonight!"

[StoneGRMI]

ditto, i hate cellphones in gyms. theres one guy that trains at our gym, he talks real fast, and asks you a question but doesnt let you finish as he cuts you off with absolute crap. he swaggers round the gym like he is popular and everyone knows him, has crappy tattoos, a crappy physique, whistles loudly, actually believes he knows a thing about training and diet, and will talk VERY loudly on his phone, whilst sat on a machine. cheeky twat

I take my cell in with me only because it could mean missing out on making some money. I don't answer calls but I get, and reply to emails while doing cardio. While lifting I don't have it on me cause that would totally stop any routine I have set.

[donberry427]

How about the guys who dont really work out but get a pump and try and pick up girls at the gym...haha ethier let them come to you, or wait til after your workout...

i once had a guy tell me you don't have to workout abs or forearms, he said they'd work themselves out during your workout. forearms i can understand to a certain extent with back especially...but hitting abs enough that u don't have 2 work them out?????

[donberry427]

Psssh doing abs is for pussies....

oh yeah if im expecting a call then il have my phone with me, but in general i leave it in the car or at home. but this guy speaks real loudly on his, as if we ALL want to hear his conversation with his annoying, fast-paced voice, whilst sat on a machine that someone else likely wants (its a small gym). if i answer my phone in the gym i do it out of the way.

ah, a quick way to gain 45lbs of bodyweight i must say. sure would hurt on the outward journey though.

How about not stacking weight tree racks right, you got a 45, 2 1/2, 5 and 25 all on the same post. Seriously just stack all the same weights on the same post!

Yeah, people act as if they own the damn stuff.

"THAT" is my main pet peeve in the gym...I'll rearrange all the weights on the piece of equipment I'm using untill they're right...

There's a few things that piss me off when I'm in the gym.

#1 The idiots that think that their workout should consist of 80% talking, 10% working out, 10% walking around the gym.

#2 The "experts" who teach the newbies how to workout, when they themselves don't know WTF they are talking about...or look the part.

#3 The "clicks" or "groupies" that huddle and talk shit about other people in the gym due to their own insecurities.

Thank god for personal MP3 players...they are a great deterrent from

Sorry, just had to vent.

Thats why I quit going to my local gym. The guys all standing around watching me lift. shyt, if they did more working and less talking, maybe they would be able to lift as much

[ifyoubuildit]

my biggest irk is a guy at my gym who puts 4 or 5 sets of dumbbells around a bench, and does 1 set, then takes off for at least 5 minutes, comes back, another set, takes off again. i think he thinks the whole gym belongs to him.

Yeah, Its not like you even have to read. Hell just do the sesame street matching game you lazy morons

[shwamin2004]

My number one pet peeve in the gym. You'd think it was social hour at Gold's Gym East Tokyo. Last year one guy asked me (in Japanese) what was wrong with me. I asked what he meant and he said I never talk to anyone - d'uh...that's 'cause I'm there to lift!

I used to be a big anti socialist in the gym. But lately since I've been here in cali . Especially in a upper class part of san diego. Its not such a bad idea to have some connections with these people. I know basically EVERYONE that comes into my gym. But they know that when its time to get down to business its time to get to business.

[perfectbeast2001]

We have sewveral of these phraes that we say reguarly to amuse each other "dont want to get TOO BIG" is one.
"nah no gear mate just chicken and rice". "im on celltech".
A couple of guys reguarly ask me "what they should take". I ask about there diet and they start looking at the floor and mumbling about protein,
One guy tells me how much clen he has used every week. He uses more clen in a week than i have in a year, and hes still obese. I try to tell him about diet but he says he has to eat alot for powerlifting. YEAH but a lot of PIZZA??????

[Uconish]

I had a guy go up to me all serious asking me how i leaned out and asked me if i could get him some Beca.....Thats rigth, not Deca , but Beca....i looked at him like he was the dumbest mofo in the world, and told him i train naturally and my diet is on point......In turn, he looked at me like i was talking greek to him......i hate people that dont understand how IMPORTANT proper nutrition is......now that i think about it, i should have ripped his stupid ass off.

[shwamin2004]

"I dont understand why im not growing... Im in here everyday for like 5 hrs at least. It has to be my genetics."

[Fat Guy]

Top 3 stupid things that I heard at my gym:


3. Are you done with that? (While I am still doing a set in the middle of a rep and thinking…Does it look like I am done with this?)

2. Some guy told me deadlifts were a dumb exercise, because he got hurt from them. (I had to do my best from not laughing at him after I asked him what he was lifting when he got hurt and he said he was hitting 225 for 10 reps)

1. (And most Irritating) Are you done with the squat rack so I may do my curls PLEASE! (Seriously, I had a this little 98lbs chick ask me all snotty like if she could use the rack for her 35 lbs set of curls)

[Sage]

no time for nonsense, but i do see allot of dumb shit people be doing at the gym, basically just hurting themselves.

HaHa yes... Most people at the gym look like borat workingout

[ru-ga-ru]

I got another one, CELLPHONES seriously, cant you wait an hour????

I F*ckin hate CELL PHONES in the gym.


But the Biggest told lie in the gym is:

" ITS ALL YOU, MAN, ITs ALL YOU "

gotta love people who can't give you a spot

[63190]

Had some wimp'lo dude ask me what I was on. I'm a stick at 6'3" 200, but I have some decent lifts. I just told him glucosomine, chondrotine, and MSM, flaxseed oil, fish oil, a multivitamine, vitamine E, and vitamine B complex.

He looked puzzled.

I then told him to make sure he eats plenty of complex carbs, and 1/7-2g of protiene for every pound of body weight and to try and up his cals to 5K over the course of 6-8 meals per day. I told him to drop the machines only workout and start squating, deadlifting, benching and to clean and press.

He walked away and used a pulley machine for God knows what.

[Fordfan01]

Just today this dude was like "Man i dont think ur taking the right kind of supps cause ur not that big" I was like um first off ive put on 10 lbs in the past 6 weeks and it wasnt because i wasnt taking $100 worth of supps it cause i got my diet right. Then he tells me that i was full of s*** and i asked him wat he got his degree in. "Civil engineering" OH well i guess me being in my third year of a double major in nursing and nutrition makes me an idiot? ppl think that just cause they are bigger than u that they know more about lifting and gaining weight

[2deizel]

[donberry427]

Yes and No. It is fuel for function.

[heavyhitter08]

How about girls that are like "i don't want to work out with weights becasue i'll get to big WTF!"

If it was that easy to grow muscle and don't get me started about " i just want to get toned!"

[QuieTSToRM33]

[Shane35aa]

I like this one about abs...either "You can work abs everyday because they are different from other muscles they don't need to recover"... Then they sure as hell ain't working them right

[beatango2008]

my biggest irk is a guy at my gym who puts 4 or 5 sets of dumbbells around a bench, and does 1 set, then takes off for at least 5 minutes, comes back, another set, takes off again. i think he thinks the whole gym belongs to him.

[Schmidty]

OK I got it. This guy told me that it is stupid to get big because once you stop working out you will lose it all.
