Things That Piss You Off At The Gym?

[Mitch535]

If you only care about one person in the gym, why do you care if you look like an asshole? I wear a neoprene knee brace on occasion when I'm lifting heavy, it works great. I'm pretty sure I'd get shanked even in my tiny gym if I spent 30 minutes on the squat rack because I spent 5 minutes between each set wrapping and unwrapping my knees.

[Hazard]

With two knee surgeries under my belt I'm not going to trust squatting with 405-495lbs to neoprene sleeves. The wraps are perfect for what I need to do. Plus we have 4 squat racks and no one has ever gotten mad at me while using one. If they do - they can complain to management..... Better not to me.

My father is here on vacation and I've been working out with him like old times. This man has a staring problem. He looks at every ass that walks by. Even if he's in the middle of a set. I can't take it anymore lol

Like father like son?!?

[Hazard]

Like father like son?!?

Not at all lol

Only the chiro's assistant and he doesn't count

Leg day I need: - belt - knee wraps - lifting straps - water bottle - shaker cup with preworkout/intra workout drink A bag is much easier. I'm also not the only one to doit so I know I'm not crazy lol

I also always use a bag. Way easy to carry everything you need and there's no way in hell it should be a problem to anyone else. I also carry all of my wife's things (straps, shaker ect.) I've been told by La fitness that it's a tripping hazard!!! How the hell can someone be so uncoordinated to trip over a bag on the floor but that person wants to lift weights?! Gtfo Makes no sense to me.

Actually last Sunday watched an older gentleman. Do this but curling one arm and reading the paper with the other hand.

Shiat, caught me.

Lol..dammit..I was gonna say lookin through Kels bedroom window again?!!

[lovbyts]

The knee wraps are 3ft long each and need to be taken off between sets to allow the blood to flow back to my legs. I'm not going to tuck lifting straps Into my shorts and look like an asshole, carry a water bottle in one hand and t shake in another (I don't drink the whole thing right away) just to please someone.

I care about one person in the gym..... That's me. My bag doesn't interfere with anyone and If it does then they're too close to me anyways. I'm not going to make 3 trips to the locker room to fetch what I need at the moment just to keep one guy happy lol

Yup I can see that. The guys I have seen though I guarantee that's now what they are doing and it's just street clothes and ??? Ive never seen them pulling out anything to use more than a water bottle that has leaked and left a big wet spot everywhere they moved their bad.

Look at it from a business owner's point of view. Some uncoordinated dipshit trips over your bag and busts his teeth out on a weight rack. He then sues the gym for damages and medical costs, down time from work, and emotional distress from his embarrassment of falling in front of all those people. That's a big pile of money going out for something that could have been avoided by asking their members to leave their duffel bags in their locker. I ask myself all the time how someone can be so stupid/uncoordinated/(insert negative adjective here). There are stupid/uncoordinated/(insert negative adjective here) people out there, so these things have happened.

We had a woman do a leg workout, and then try and take a pee. She was doing that thing that ladies do where they don't quite sit down all the way so they just kinda hover over the toilet and direct the pee into the bowl. Her legs gave out on her and she fell onto the toilet. The seat was up and her hips went into the bowl and she got stuck. They called the fire department to get her out. This is the kind of person that would trip over your bag and sue the gym. That's why it is a problem. There's not an IQ test to become a member of a gym. You don't have to take a coordination test to join either, and most businesses like to protect their wallets when and where they can.

Found a new one saturday....was on the treadmill so didn't affect me but it did puss me off lol.

Guys doing ez bar push downs on the lat machine :/

[bartman314]

sfla80, sometimes i'll do that because the cable machines don't have enough weight. would that be ok? or do you have other ideas?

[Sfla80]

Makes sense. But these guys weren't using more weight.

And most cable machines if pin is long enough and u have enough space....always can attach a 25 or 45 with the pin.

Old thread but I saw the most unusual thing today.

[F4iGuy]

The kids who cut the sides off their shirt so far that nipples are popping out.

Groups of 3 or more that take up a piece of equipment for 30 minutes because they are on their phones messaging between sets

Dudes who want to talk about relationship problem. Once or twice... ok but more than that fuck off or pay me for the time I'm providing therapy

The kid who wears shorts up to his nut sack... why?

The dude who 'told' me not to lower the weights too fast on the chest fly machine. Asking... sure but getting in my face... I'll fuck you the hell up.

Overall I really like my gym and the people in it.

Sounds like it

[DHew]

I like the dudes in full sweats with hoodies always on that walk around from machine to machine and load it up so much they have to put 25lb plates on the handles as well. Then they do a solid 1/3 rep range of motion and walk around the gym inflated.

[wellshii]

The girl squatting in front of me and the others starring at me for staring at her.

Plus the others for taking up space.

[Zanzibor]

It will always be for me, any jackass at a gym doing selfish shit in a public place treating it like it's their own (whether oblivious or by choice), and not a communal place of mutual respect where we're all trying to go after a better more athletic, aesthetically pleasing, and healthy end goal. We're all in it for the iron.

[Proximal]

Don't like the multiple station thing. Great, you want to superset, admire your intensity, but even using just 2 things, let alone 3, if you're not letting others rotate in, not a fan of that. Sorry if this is a repeat.

[Euroholic]

Have seen people posting on this site for years about curling in the squat rack never seen it with my own 2 eyes until the other day. He had a bench in side the squat rack and was putting the bar on the bench. I normally do not look at what people are doing but it caught my eye and i was like what the fvvvccckkkk!!!!

The only one smarter is papa Murphys pizza, most of their sales are from food stamps being the sell uncooked pizzas.
It's considered groceries not a restaurant.
(A little off subject sorry.)

* Skinnys posing down in the mirrors and taking selfies of themselves... wtf is that about?
* Dudes wearing flip-flops who sit on the bench and press out 3 or 4 reps of 135 lbs and take 10 minute breaks between sets
* Elderly women hogging the cables... why even bother anyway???
