Things That Piss You Off At The Gym?

[DSM4Life]

I don't see all this hate on people using squat bars for curling, I have to do it because of tendonitis in my forearm and also because the regular barbells with the weights already attached are usually taken by the other 15 goons in the gym.

And my workouts are based on high intensity and fast paced. I complete 28-32 sets in an hour WITH a workout partner. So I hate just sitting around sharing a barbell with 2 other guys who take their sweet ass time, it kills my workout because once my body starts to cool down it feels like I am not lifting anymore.

So usually we use the squat bars for curling because after a while it makes you STRONGER because the bar is longer than a traditional curling barbell and you have to balance.

SO PLEASE STOP HATING ON US SQUAT BAR CURLERS!


Oh and I hate hate hate people who wear wife beaters to the gym, no offense to any of you guys who do, but I feel it is the toolish thing you can do.

Take the bar outside of the squat rack. This way if someone wants to do squats they can steal a BB of the bench (we have multi benches) and still squat. Also remember to return the bar.

true story

Im lucky to go to a good gym. I usually have a good workout. There are always those guys that come and go (quiters) but I usually dont get pissed off untill YESTERDAY!
On chest day one of my favorites is the seated press. I get good results from this machine and I can target lower chest when I put the seat up high. So anyway this guy comes in and sit on its while im warming up in the cage. he looks like a nerd and is wearing street clothes. He did not stretch or warm up. He put 200 lbs of plates on it and barely squeezes out 1 very shakey rep. Then he sits there on the machine for 5 minutes and does another rep. and again and again and he is taking a longer break towards the end but all said and done about ten reps over what seemed like an hour. WTF is this guy doing? I was really confused and I didnt get on the machine so I was mad. there, 'rant' over!

ha, had the same issue with this guy at the gym.. his friend was asking me for advice and i saw he was just trying to be a show off and pull alotta weight on a curl... i tell him to take down the weight and work on his form and his friend says "i keep telling him that over and over again, but he doens't listen" then this ahole goes to the seated row machine, pins the full stack at 300lbs, starts talking to himself as if to work himself up to the task, and finaly starts pulling on the weight, only to pull it about 2 1/2 inches into his chest before bringing it back.. does that about 5 times..

i look over to my brother (who is a monster himself at 6'6 270 14%) and we start cracking up... fcuking gym losers man.. i say we put them on another planet so they can all be on the same level... retards...

Yeah if someone wants to use it will move the bar, def. But I workout at a college gym, we have 3 squat racks, but the amount people who squat is low lol so we usually don't take the bench bar from a bench because it seems everybody just does chest and biceps in the gym.

[Karo]

People who sit on the benches and WATCH TV. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

People who sit down.....period! take 10 minutes between sets, socialize like they're in a bar room etc etc. I pace the gym like a panther between sets, staring down the weights i'm about to lift like i'm trying to intimidate them

[domeyeahaigh]

when I go full range of motion on all my lifts and my workout partner or someone else is telling me not to go all the way down or whatever...that i am using too light of weight..

[Skully44420]

i hate when people do one set and then sit there for 10 mins like they just did some strenuous workout when they aren't lifting shit.

Big guys who treat disabled people with no respect. Happened to me the other day. I am wheelchair bound (have been since I was 6 and in a car accident) and tried to get in my set, and this national-level bodybuilder (who had his "posse" with him) told me "retards like you should not be in the gym when he is there working out". JERK !

[CptAmericaX]

The dude that clears his sinus every time he gets chance was burping in front of me while i was doing cable flies so i couldnt hold it nomore and told him " Hey man go burp outside , nobody wants to hear you burping or making disgusting noise here in gym !! "

that is seriously messed up, my dad has been in a wheelchair since he was 18 and i've had the same problem when we went to the gym, some wannabe told my dad to move from the bench so he could use it, i heard it as i had gone to get a drink of water and was returning and walked right up to the guy and told him to fvck off

Are you serious ? I would have said something to management. If that didn't go anywhere , take it to the local news media how this gym lets people get away harassment.

[ronan the barbarian]

i can combine dsm4life and pmzq...
i used to drive a mini bus for wheel chair bound young guys and the one thing that gets to me is people who park in disabled spots who dont have a disability or even badges(in the uk you have to have blue id badges in your windows so you can park on double yellows or disabled bays etc).
to this day i still say something to people i see parking in them,it embarrasses my mrs but i just say you try getting a wheel chair out of a standard size bay.some buses had rear ramps,so that was easy..but some never.
im sure plenty of people have seen able bodied people park in disabled bays.

[Alphatier]

I know it has been said numerous times before, but yetserday it happened to me.....So i get into the gym, ready for leg day and Squats are obviously first. I'm walking over to the power rack to start warming up, when I see this douchebag asshole doing CURLS using the rack. I asked him how many sets he has left, and he said ONLY 2!!! and it took him like 10 minutes to complete these two sets...I was so mad, I just gave him the "look", and I'm pretty sure he understood....

That's what I hate about commercial gyms...well at least I'm not paying for my member ship lol.

[Dukkit]

the muther fukker who ive never seen in my gym... ever!!
(ive been there 2 years. 4-5 days a week i go) weekdays, nights and weekends.... and ive never seen this douche.

this guy comes in. takes over the pull down machine that i was on... then when i go over as he was done with his set and say... "i was on this, but you can work in with me.'

he gives me a look like im bothering him and i have 5 eyes. and says... "oh ill just be a minute"

so i say... you know what... forget it.. you cant work in with me. and i grab the bar sit down. and do a set. then i dont get up. i sit there through all my sets and dont get up

[Knockout_Power]

I thought I really didnt have any annoyances at the gym cause the moment I get in there, the Ipod goes on and I dont even notice people at all. Sometimes to the point where they wal straight up to me and say high and I completely miss it, but anyways...

Turns out I do get really f'n pissed at the guys who seem to have need to slam their weights down after they finish their sets. Whats up with this? Is it a cry for attention.. "look how much I just lifted"... wtf, no wonder half the dumbells are loose. And my gym fee's have to pay for this shit. Same thing with the guys who have to slam the plates together when loading up a machine. I dont care if you rep 315 for 1 half ass motion, I dont need to hear.

[scerpico22]

these four little douche bags pulled this on me yesterday...

i walk up to the pull down bar and there are two guys there, i ask how many sets they have left and he says..."well, him and I have 1 left each, but we are switching with the other two guys over there" he points to the adjacent pull down to two guys who are using the v-bar. i think to myself, what a gang of retards. so i sit and just wait for the third pull down bar that another two guys have just two sets left.

while im waiting dickhead 1 and 2 (the first two guys i talked to) finish and the one guy has the balls to stand with one foot on the seat while holding the bar...WAITING for the other two to finish so that no one can get the machine...mind you i am by myself and he knows im waiting for a machine...he looks right at me while standing on the seat - then in obvious shame and embarrassment because he KNOWS what he is doing is wrong, looks down at his shoes.

i said F-this, i walk over said excuse me, moved him off the machine and started my workout.

his buddy comes over after 5 full minutes and says to me my buddy was holding that for us...i said to him, IF your buddy would have had half an ounce of etiquette I would have no problem letting you and friend work in, but since he has none, sorry your gonna have to wait. and while your waiting, maybe explain to him why...

all four walked away and said nothing...dickheads!

[SnaX]

Ignorant staff

When people do not know how to put weights away. They are all mixed up... They leave them on the smith machine and use 3x10's, 2x25's, 2x35's and some 5's on each side... instead of just getting larger weights... Then they leave them on the smith machine and walk away to work out their lats!
Mind you, THEY did 8 sets of shrugs, and I was waiting...and watching...

I only saw this guy there once, and have not seen him since.. I am relieved, I hope he found a hobby that embraces laziness.

Lol I remember this!!!

Oh I make me smile

To be honest, as of late, I don't let much of anything bother me. I go there, do my thing, have a good time doing so, and leave.

1) When I am the only person that has done squats in the past month.

I like this one. You could throw deadlifts in there with squats. I hate the dick who feels the need to get into the power rack to do curls. Seriously? Curls? If you're that concerned about droppin the weight on a curl, maybe you need to back off a little...or work on your agility

That's fvcked up. I wonder what kind of trauma somebody has to go through to think it's ok to talk to another person like that.
