Proper Gym Ettiquette

[davesah1]

much better video. cracks me up

[hellomycognomen]

That guy is a douche, not even funny.

[David LoPan]

The worst ettiquette is not re-racking your weights.

I do get sick of people always wanting to pose in the mirrors at the gym. You have a mirror at home, use it and not the one at the gym. I swear there are a few guys that spend more time looking at themselves than lifting.

As far as the video I have to agree that the guy is a douche. I didn't think he was trying to be funny, was he?

Agree, re-racking weights is a big pet peeve of mine. Pisses me off when people don't put shit back.
I hate having to go searching for dumbbells.

x2!! This apparently is a thing at my gym, the fvking plates are dis-organized on every weight rack!! The dumbbells are never out of place tho....So these guys know how to put the DB's back but not the plates??? Doesnt make any sense to me.

speaking of etiquette, I let out a loud, well, fart at the gym yesterday...

...it's all part of what happens in the gym

Nothing worse than having gas on legs day....

[davesah1]

Yes, I think he's a douche because everything he said he really stupid, thats why I found it funny. Everything that came out of his mouth has nothing to do with gym etiquette, yet he thinks it does.

Ya, girls don't fart or poo. Its common knowledge. Im Being serious

Was literally going to say that, but thought I'd get flamed. Girls don't poop its true.

[GirlyGymRat]

BTW the dude in vid is an idiot. I couldn't watch much past 1 min…..

past one minute was were it was a little comical. Dom Mazzetti has some pretty good parody videos of everything from snapchat to meatheads.

[dk94]

I hate when people do their dumbel sets directly infront of the dumbell rack hindering people that are try to walk by or grab dumbells in the vicinity.

[Times Roman]

Awhhhh really. I never fart. Ever. LoL

agree with Schwarz.

girls convert 100% of what they eat into pure energy, with no waste by-product....

[lovbyts]

agree with Schwarz.

That's true, they burn it all by flapping their gums. Ohhh did I say that out loud???

I heard your inside voice. LOL

Me neither I have trained my body to burn excess gas as fuel

Tell that to my wife!

And yeah, I hate when weights are all over the place. Where I go, the people who work there are the WORST.

I also hate when people stand the fixed weight small barbells on end. I guess nobody has ever though about what would happen when one falls and hits someone on the foot? I usually put them down when I see them. Had someone come up to me and ask why I do that. I looked at her like she was crazy and asked whether she'd like it if one fell on her foot.

Or how about that guy who wants to tie up 3 different machines/benches at once for that SUPER set he's trying to do. Ugh...

Mine is the dumbells. People take the dumbells out of the db area and then don't put them back.

[kelkel]

If they don't then maybe some probing in those areas is required to check for blockages, etc...

Uh yeah. I volunteer.

I'm with you but, thankfully, I'm usually using heavy enough dbs that most people in the gym I go to don't mess with them. It's not a hardcore BB gym.

[davesah1]

just realized the guy in this video got into 22 jump street (playing the douchebag of course) bc he became youtube famous off his videos.

[spillybob]

I got to 56 seconds sorry. not funny. mine is dumbbells as well

[frighteous]

Dumbbells are number one for me, it's a dick move to grab a pair and do a set right in front of the glass, because it prevents others from accessing them. Secondly I go to snap fitness, not all snaps have more than 2 bench presses - nothing is worse than waiting on bench and seeing someone playing on their phone, and wearing a shirt that's dry as a bone. If you're going to sit around and play on the phone, please at least have some sweat on your shirt.

[davesah1]

the dumbbells at my gym are all the place. I got used to it lol. There in pairs but its common to see the 40's where the 15's should be.

That's a good one.

Personal conversations that seem to go on with the same people are big ones for me. You see these same people with no results standing around like its a bar talking to others for several minutes wasting time.

Also the guy who likes to dance or head bang or lip sync can also be annoying.

Anything that's a major distraction for me is annoying. When your at the gym you work. Anything else is just wasting time or distracting others.

[2iron]

4 am workouts is where its at. Douche bags and motor mouths are few and far between. Nothing like an empty gym

[davesah1]

[jsam]

The worst ettiquette is not re-racking your weights.

Nothing like getting to the gym early in the morning cause your day is going to be busy and you waste time putting weights where they belong. Like cleaning up after my kids drives me nuts!!

[newbie777]

Goes without saying, one of the worst is taking plates off your station without asking first

I was spotting someone on the incline bench once and one of the gym employees was going around re-racking weights, and comes up to our station and moves the plates around while the guy was in the middle of the set, thankfully the weight wasn't that much otherwise he could have lost focus and got in some trouble =/

Loud personal conversations are so annoying. Loud cell phone calls too. Seems like there are few "gyms" nowadays and a bunch of fitness centers.

Another reason I work out in my basement.

[Archx91]

I gotta say I laughed.

[MySoul4AGoat]

BroScience dude is the shit lol. Also, near the same topic is this apparent "uniform" i have at my gym that's stringer tank tops or the muscle shirt with the arm hole cut down to the waist with the baggiest damn sweat pants so they never have to look at the dainty baby deer calves/thighs shaking like a leaf in the wind. Are calves that hard? Yes.. Yes they are..

What about the out of shape guy trying to explain to people how to use the equipment properly? I usually just stare at those guys and when we make eye contact I shake my head. Yesterday I was doing some lightweight laterals in between sets. This guy starts doing then next to me. I'm using the 15s and he is looking at me like I'm a ***** or something. I keep ripping the 15s he grabs the 50s and starts trying to do them. Gets them up to about his hip every rep and uses his legs and back more than his damn shoulders. I was freakin lmfao in my head. Just laughed out loud writing this crap.

Gotta get amused by ego lifters. Had two kids lifting 27.5 lbs for hammer curls using all momentum and some weird gypsy like twist today. gave me a good laugh.
