Things That Piss You Off At The Gym?

[lestat85]

thats where his hands should be. Are you another guy trying to go heavy do 1/4 range of motion. My arms come alot lower then my shoulders doing presses. And your dropping the dumbbells if arms get low enough to touch is palms at shoulder level. Drop you weight and do a full range of motion

Agree. Full range of motion is always best. I hate when my spotter tries to push the weight for me. He's there so i don't get hurt in case I can't lift it, not to lift it for me.

I cant stand yellers! its just a crying "oh look at me"
Dropping the wieghts from up high, the F'n crossfit class does clean & jerks and then drop the weights from over head, theres like 15 ppl doing it at the same time over& over.
Guy's that are new that do five curls then look in the mirror to see any difference, I dont know if it pisses me off or I feel sorry for them.
Just because youre one of the biggest dudes in the gym and are all hubbed up does NOT make you a badass, good shape, look good, able to move heavy weights, yes, but that doesnt mean youre a badass.

My BJJ academy has its own floor in the gym so we need to walk through the gym to get to it. We get all kinds of looks, I would say 95% are from the newbies who dont quite get it, the guy's who have been around a while are totally cool with it.

depends on the exercise. when i do leg press i need the grunt to get the first rep. its funny how i can do like 15 reps. but then the next set i cant do 1 rep from the start position unless i get myself in the zone and scream to get it going.... but for the most part i always grunt when going real heavy. the weights are intimidating. and i need that grunt to get me in the zone and get ****ing amped up. =]

but i dont like when i have my headphones off and i see little kids moaning like they are getting plowed when doing 20lb dumbbell curls... but i have no problem for 98% of people in my gym who grunt as i am the same way...

:P

true true.

sorry i was in a pissed off mode, didnt think straight =p

i ment that his hands were past my shoulders.


i usually go a litlte bit past 90 degrees. (about ear level, maybe a tiny bit under ) i still dont go that low though when going heavy.

Grunting is OK. It's the dudes who scream like their ball sack has just ripped open that piss me off. There used to be a dude who was pretty big and was into power lifting. Always had his crew of smaller, weaker guys in tow when he worked out. Guy screamed during the last couple of reps, always let the weights drop or slam down in the rack.

Total drama whore.

He was invited to take his drama elsewhere so regular folks could work out in relative quite.

It's been a good thread, when the last time you been here?

Umm been a wile about a year ago I had alot of crap going on in my life now it's time to get back in the zone. !

[mike954]

There is this kid that walks around in a black wife beater and he is about 150 soaking wet puffing he's bird chest out and mean mugging everyone and I never saw him touch a weight he just wonders around like a tool I want to throw a 45lb plate at he's head

[Vettester]

OK, I'm at the gym and there's a guy doing squats. I look down next to him, he's got his water bottle, phone, keys, and a friggin pack of cigarettes. Seriously?? Maybe it's me, but I would think if you smoke you would at least not advertise it out loud in place that incorporates a healthy theme.

[Vettester]

Plus the chicks on the leg press the other day ... They stack 4 plates on each side, I'm thinking, "Hmmm, this is pretty impressive ...", but then they only go down about 4" and back up. It was about the same (if not less) distance you do on calve raises.

[austinite]

The guy next to me who feels he has to tell me about all his recent injuries and why he can only bench 150lbs.

lol, this one amazes me, too. I've seen a group of 20 something year olds leave the gym and all light up cigarettes and hang out by their cars in the lot. gross.

Have a little empathy for him although I know most of us think it's all BS. I typically dont share, I'm to embarrassed being there right now myself and prefer to work out alone. Hell I dont think I could even bench 150 lbs right now if I had to. Being injured does suck. Most of us have been there. Short term injuries is one thing but when you get the short end of the stick for 1 1/2 years it really takes a toll.

lol, I do have empathy. I've had injuries too. I guess I myself might be on his list of people who piss him off because I prefer to keep to myself.

[Rwy]

when people take up weights or machines and do them incorrectly

today I was doing sprints on the prowler and I am watching this kid mess around with trx straps and I have no idea what the **** he is doing but he was in my path and it was really annoying

[zaggahamma]

dammit this isnt an empathy thread...hate HATE HATE...dammit

[Renesis]

[Renesis]

[Razor]

Haha I would have gladly traded places. Crashed estrogen you feel like you have been run over by a truck twice

[Razor]

And I would love some beer and pizza about now too

[austinite]

I had a slice of Pizza 3 weeks ago. It was the first time in about a year or so. I was in heaven.

[Renesis]

Don't do it! I gained 7lbs of fat >.>

How long are you gonna stay natty?

[Renesis]

Until I get a good paying job where I am not worried about my next bill possibly. ATM I am freaking out cuz I am going to have to support a child in a few months and I don't have a solid job at all.

Wow you got a kid on the way?

[Renesis]

Yup, got my ex pregnant

[Razor]

Yup, got my ex pregnant

Oh fck:/

[Razor]

I don't know what to do in that situation

[Renesis]

Same >.>

[Honkey_Kong]

I don't know what to do in that situation

You do the "Hail Mary" play. That's where you tell her that you love her, but you're not ready to have a kid. And if she has an abortion you'll marry her. Then immediately after the abortion you dump her and never talk to her again.

Odds are this wont work hence the name of it. Other than that, get your chequebook open it's going to cost you for the next 18 years.

[Renesis]

She is almost 6 months along.

[Honkey_Kong]

She is almost 6 months along.

My advice to you is to start drinking... HEAVILY.
