People you see at the gym "AND EVERY GYM HAS THEM"

[nkyle90]

The 19-21 year old who's obviously on gear, has to be the loudest whether its slamming weights or grunting. Always sizing you up and flexing in the mirror, even tho he's purple and looks like sh1t and his legs are the size of my bi's. my only satisfaction out of this is when you don't see them for a couple months and they look shriveled

You never see these guys if you're in the gym before 6am.

[Gaspari1255]

The Hoodie Guy: Dude who is always training in a hoodie no matter how hot it is.

[Gaspari1255]

The teenage girl who looks so damn good but makes you feel like perverted fvck for having fantasies with her in the locker room.....hate that

[Gaspari1255]

The HUGEEEEEEE guy but has no idea wtf he is doing when it comes to training or dieting and can thank the lord for his god-like genetics.

[Gronkowski]

The guy that never leaves the gym.. He is there every single time you workout.. 2- 3 x a day And looks completely the same year in and year out.

[gearbox]

Dude I have posted like 3 pics of MOST of her...If you don't think she is sexy, well I will keep em t myself lol

I actually have not seen any. guess I keep missing them. And if posted I would never comment on someone negatively.

[calgarian]

I am actually pretty relaxed in the gym. I laugh a lot. Then re focus to do my lifts strict with form. Everyone lifts different. I got a buddy who is a don't talk to me type. No big deal say hi before and when he.or.I leave gym

[ironbeck]

I workout in a small local gym and the main source of $ to keep the doors open are all the Mexian packing plant workers. They file in after work still reaking of dead carcasses and then go in the back room and spray the cheapest cologne on before working out. The strong pungent smell is so bad I nearly throw up!

Holy sheep shit!!!! Dude I would save my pennies to be able to afford a better gym.........scream free taco bell in the parking lot, vamenos.

[ironbeck]

What guy does this make me? I try to ignore everyone with head phones in....except the occcaisional glance at a girls nice ass for visual stimulation....Later. There are always guys asking me if im using something that is at least 20ft-or across the otherside of the gym, when I never went near it?

[dep30]

The dousche who tapes his hands like he's about to be in a title fight and then just stands in front of the mirror shadow boxing for like an hour then leaves... smh... i've never wanted to punch someone in the face so bad... i could see if this guy was a legit fighter, but dude couldn't beat his way out of a wet paper bag

[nkyle90]

The guy who interrupts your set to ask when you'll be done

[jamesc55]

THE ROTATOR - The guy who designates five benches and/or machines and feels he has the right to work out on all of them because he is on a circuit. Meanwhile, the empty machines need to remain empty for when he is ready to hit them.

THE RESTER - The one who just sits on the machine or bench to rest.

THE DELAYER - The one who does a few reps, then puts a towel on the bench to finish up a conversation with someone while retaining the right to use the machine in perpetuo.

[Atomini]

I'm pretty sure that some of us here fall into at least 1 or 2 of these categories...

I for example am guilty of being 'THE RESTER'. Especially when I finish my sets of deadlifts, the bench press happens to be beside me, so I just take a seat on there while I take a breather lol.

[sgt2jay]

I am guilty of many as well. My intentions of this thread was light hearted fun.

About a month ago i fell into the JERK Catagory or you can give it a name.

I had a rough day at work and stopped at the gym to take out my aggressions there. Me and one other older lady was there the type that doesnt do to much and is very overweight. I was hitting it prettyhard and may have let out a few of those last rep grunts. not sure how loud as i had my headphones on. A few time i got that look with the eye roll so i tried not to but on on elast set i grunted a bit. wel she got off her mackine

she said "do you have to grunt like that"
I said "i am sorry i was just trying to get that last one in"
she said "all you f^&%^rs are the same"
well i was have a bda day to begin with and i said "hay you dont have to be angry because you are fat and ugly"
she said "im not angry because i am fat"
I said "I know you are angry because there isnt a diet for ugly"

I have to be honest i am nt the mean type but i guess it was wrong place wrong time for her and still today i hae tried to appologize.

so feel free to give me a NAME

[Honkey_Kong]

Anybody else know this guy?

You're on the incline bench doing dumbbell presses. You do a warmup set at a light weight so you go to put the weights back and get the heavier weights. Then you come back and there is some fvcking punk weakling who just stole the bench from under you.

[dec11]

the superset twat who has no idea what super setting really is about, ITS NOT EVERY FVCKING MACHINE IN THE GYM AT YOUR DISPOSAL!!!!!!!

ordinarily you'd have punched the shit out off him by now, but dont out of respect for the sound geezer who owns the gym.

needed to get that one out

thats an easy one

just let the dumbells drop beside him with an almighty bang and ''politely'' tell him your still using that bench and he needs to move

No. They refer to me as the "Priest" at the gym. Always wanting me to bless them before they go for their personal best.

So if the hotties are pretty enough (female), I'll whip out my shaker and sprinkle some holy water on them.

If they are not hot enough, I'll refer them to Cal, and he will deal with them accordingly. =)

I figured politely yelling obscenities while threatening to throw a dumbbell at him in the face does the trick.

But there is one of these guys at every gym I've ever been to. And at any time where there was more than a few people there.

[Flagg]

The skinny teenager:

Hangs out in groups with others of its kind, usually wearing designer shorts, floppy hair and has an iPhone attached to right hand 24/7. Occupies about 3 benches with others of it's kind, invariably has about 8 different pairs of dumbells in the group. Doesn't move from the same area much, which is always infuriatingly the bench press area. Doesn't shuttup talking to it's "bros" about what its been doing recently. probably spends more time talking in the group then ever actual lifting.

EDIT: Above all else, the thing that pisses me off the most are the wankers that DONT RE-RACK SHIT! They just leave dumbells lying around, they dont take plates off the bars afterwards. I do this out of courtesy dickhead, be nice if you could also adhere to this basic bit of gym etiquette

[kalspic]

im guilty of hovering over a machine in between sets. i know people will steal it so i just stand next to it

[dec11]

a PT in a gym i used to train in:

PT: you go far too deep in your squats you know

Me: oh is that right, what am i doing wrong then?

PT: yeah, I can give you a few free tips for now, what sort of weight are you maxing, 140-160kgs?

Me: 280kgs.

PT: ah I see, your knees will be used to it then.

he then walks away sharpish, the cupid stunt lmao.

[Shsm]

The old guy wearing spandex...

At almost any gym you go to, there will always be at least one middle aged man in the gym, who happens to be overweight, wearing a pair of spandex compression shorts.

These Lance Armstrong enthusiasts are convinced compression shirts are an outer layer clothing article. Usually has a tucked in T-Shirt to complete his ensemble.

[austinite]

Agree with Flagg. Re-rack your crap.

[evander87]

the superset twat who has no idea what super setting really is about, ITS NOT EVERY FVCKING MACHINE IN THE GYM AT YOUR DISPOSAL!!!!!!!

Those guys piss me off to no end. ESPECIALLY when the gym is full and you're doing curls in the squat rack.

[Atomini]

Guys who pull out about 4 pairs of dumbbells and hog them for whatever they're doing at that time.

And then they don't put it back when they're finished, they just leave 8 dumbbells lying around strewn about the floor, usually sitting next to or in front of a bench or seat.

That's the worst!!

[DB1982]

I guess I would be the little guy wearing the wife beater. Being only 5'10" and 175-180lbs I usually start working out in a T-shirt but as I sweat I'll end up in a tank (I hate feeling dirty).

I normally put my headphones on turn them up loud and don't talk to no one. Not because I'm a d**k but because I don't know anyone so I do my workouts and get out.
I also people watch at the gym like crazy. Its hilarious what people will do when they think nobodies looking but with all the mirrors at the gym there's no place to hide

[cherrydrpepper]

Fat, washed up, older guy, who starts every sentence off with "When I was your age...." and then proceeds to tell you that he used to be a lot bigger and stronger than you when he was in his peak....

hahaha I logged in just to add this guy but you beat me to it

Nothing like a 250 lb man who needs to cut to 170 giving you advice

If that mother ****er got on a bike successfully I would stop whatever I was doing and applaud

Seriously, f*ck that guy/girl. My building has an OK gym that I work out in most of the time. It has the basics, but it is small. I cannot believe anyone has the balls to do this in our tiny place that has zero redundant equipment. I have no problem jumping in whenever I want since they are on a five station cycle and that leaves plenty of time for me. They can give me the stink eye all they want...hopefully we both know that it is them that is the dick.

[Times Roman]

The guy that never leaves the gym.. He is there every single time you workout.. 2- 3 x a day And looks completely the same year in and year out.

there is a guy at my gym that is like this. somehow, he knows a few of the highschool football players (this bloke is 45+). His kid is there, and every time i go in, there he is. we got off to a bad start when he wanted to work in as a third on a machine me and my kid were working on. We also got off to a bad start since he likes to monopolise multiple machines in his circuit. Anyways, this guy spends more time bullshitting with the kids than he does on the equipment. AND he always looks the same? How the fuk can that be. He's like 15+ hours a week at the gym and looks the same today as he did 6 months ago.

Very strange.................?

I've turned into a hoverer lately. It's necessary evil.

Here was me thinking I was the only one that used 1 pair of a dumbells at a time. Even if im doing sets where im increasing the weight, I re-rack, then get the next pair. All too often I see guys hogging about 4 or 5 pairs. It's worse if they are in a group, more hogging, and basically for the entire hour.

Since joining this current gym I go to (24 hr), I've seen it so bad there that I don't even bother going to the weight tree to get barbell weights anymore. I'm not going to find any there. Everyone just throws them on the floor or leaves them on the bars. And dumbbells are all over the place too. And I always rerack the weights when I'm done, but now I'm at the point where I think I'm going to just leave a mess too.

[Times Roman]

there was a very young lady at the gym today. around 20. absolutely killer ass/legs, shapely hips, and reasonably pretty face. she had on very tight short shorts, with a g string underneath. she was doing some stretching, with her legs splayed openly and widely. then she moved over to the squat rack and continued her stretching. I was keenly aware of trying not to be staring. very difficult. so i'm watching her, and then i notice she is noticing me noticing her by looking behind her using the mirrors. (Damn mirrors!!) So now I'm feeling really foolish.

I was talking to my son about it, as he knows more people down there than i do. So he's like, yeah, there are a few ladies down there that like to put on a show.

I would have whipped out my camera phone

Did anyone mention the weight rack moron . This is the guy who puts three 5 lb plates on the inside, then a 45, then a 10 on the stem of the weight rack. You look at the other side and it has a similarly rediculous configuration and you are baffled that there are people this stupid walking the earth.

I hate that with a passion! This just happened the other day for me. F'ing tools!

And this is my all time favorite to watch (besides hot girls in fancy gym attire). These retards have no clue and lack order. I always think to myself that their lives must be a mess too!
