The moron that stacks Twenty (20) 10 lb plates on the bench bar so it looks like he has a lot of weight on the bar.. (10) 10 lbs plates on each side....!

[Philmac23]

The dude who puts like 800 on the squat rack and barly bends his legs 1 inch. He also feels the need to scream at the top of his lungs to get people to look at him and see that he has 8 45lbs plates on each side. Then after that walks all tough like he just squated 800 for real. Little sh#thead.

We must be at the same gym. There's one guy that screams at every rep for each set. Seriously? WTF. If its too heavy, unload that shit.

Ya, people who max out equipment and get NO range of motion. It doesn't count if you have no form and your range of motion is not there. Who are these idiots fooling??????

There is a guy like that at every gym. And it's usually not too heavy of weight for him that gets him to do that. If the gym was completely empty and just him in there, he'd be quiet as a whisper. It's the attention that gets them to grunt that loud or put more weight on the bars than they can actually properly lift.

[Philmac23]

Yea I get alot of stangers randomly asking about gear.

[UberSteroids]

I don't care about any of this shit and do my workout. Why get pissed over stupid shit like that?

cuz its fukin annoying

[SampsonandDelilah]

people who dont take their plates off of the bar when they're done!

[Shiftt101]

When i go to use the squat rack and the SAME guy always hangs his jacket/phone/hat on the rack and isnt even near the thing.. its like come on man if your not using the squat rack.. dont use it as a personal coat hanger!!

[PK-V]

When people only lift on the concentric phase of every exercise they do

[Skills]

Anyone that uses less than 1 plate on the squat rack, especially the idiots who do 5kg bicep curls

[oohrahbrent]

I hate when people don't wipe off the equipment when they are done with it
Also people who walk around in the shower room barefoot

[Trainwiser]

People lifting with no form whatsoever, like using their whole body for a curl!!!!

[spoon69]

I hate the month of January when the gym if full if people on there resolutions and not one of them does a thing but waist space. Get out my ****ing way I'm losing my pump!!!!!

[Sharmthetics]

When fat dogs stare at you and give a cheeky grin after you've done a few bicep curls. Don't mind the girls with tight asses mirin though.

[lifeofdefiance]

I got a list lol for my gym

-People taking equipment and having no idea what they're doing
-People taking equipment and spending half the time sitting around talking to their friends
-People who stand right next to me and curl when I'm doing something like DB OH press where I could potentially have to drop the weight to save my shoulder if something goes wrong
-People who curl in the squat rack (lol cliche, but srsly my gym has a milliion curl bars and people still ****ing do it)

I could think of more but I'll leave off there for now

Personal Trainers, who give truly bad advice.
Personal trainers who teach their poor trainees to lift VERY light weights, take about 30 secs per rep and 3 or 4 minute breaks between sets, whilst they brag to their clients.
People who put a 10 kg plate on each side of the leg press machine and then do 4 sets of 10 at the same weight.
Skeletal women who come in, spend 20 minutes doing CARDIO and then go home.
People who hog the cable machine doing 12 sets of crossovers, teeth gritted with determination, staring at themselves in the mirror WITH ONLY 5kg PLATES.

We have one guy who has been coming for TWO years, he does the same exercises at the same weight 3 times weekly. He never increases the weight and he does each rep very slowly. When I asked him why he doesn't increase the weight, he says "I wouldn't like someone to see me fail". He looks exactly the same now as he did 2 years ago!

[djgreen]

also guys that are naturally skinny with a little bit of muscle thinking they are a bad ass walking around in little shirts with their chest pumped and a mean look on their face just because you can see every little bit of muscle they have when in reality they have the smallest mass in the gym

[Baldur2630]

New one only yesterday, we have a team of guys who come into the gym to train with their coach.

This guy was sitting on the leg extension machine that we wanted to use. He had his iPhone on and earphones. He had been sat there for ages. I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him if he had finished. He said that he hadn't and had three more sets. He still sat there. A few minutes later I tapped him again and asked him if he was going to do his sets or sit listening to music. He said his coach had told him to wait FIFTEEN MINUTES between sets!

I found his coach and asked him what the hell was going on. He told me that it's necessary to have a fifteen minute pause between sets. I took him to the manager of the gym. If 12 people each have to do 4 sets with 15 minute rests between sets, why do the open the gym to the public.

They were having a beautiful slanging match, so I left them to it. Result was no more fifteen minute breaks between sets.

Bottom line - have the nuts to COMPLAIN. Yeah, I know that in these 'modern' times, it's confrontational and we should turn the other cheek, but I was born a long time ago so fvck'em!

A 15 minute rest break was given as advice from a coach for leg extensions lol. What could they be training for? Taking damn near an hour for 3 sets of leg extensions - who has time for that? That's ridiculous.

Would have done the same... Just dont understand why he couldnt step aside and alternate with you guys.

True we have to leave the "pacifist" sh*t aside and complain more, just yesterday I complained to the manager for most the same reason, the coach will hate me from now on, but I go to the gym to get big not to look for love!

WTF? Fine, do your set, get up and come back in 15 minutes. If not find his car and make sure someone is parked behind or in front of him and park your car so it blocks him in. When he comes out and cant move his car and asks you to move tell him your mechanic said to not start your car for 15 minutes after shutting it off so you cant do anything about it for another 15 minutes.

You guys listed all the reasons why I quit the gym (except for the old Japanese deadlifter that screamed "Yosh!") and bought a power rack, multi bench, and weights to create the perfect gym right at home.

[BITTAPART2]

1: guys who are big for the sake of big...like if your ripped up and healthy your a puss because this guy is 275lbs with 15%bf and he has no will power so hes mad at you for being a shredded 220
2: the trainer that got thrown into the wall last time i was at the gym for dong the not move in the hallway thing, ****er ill drop a shoulder in your dumb ass, you work for the gym act professional dont get your ass kicked
3: people that hog equiptment and rest between sets on or with that equipment.
4: dumb chicks that happned to decide they want to do a show and all of a sudden they are denise massino or something, trying to hang with the guys b/c they can leg press 400lbs . arent girls supposed to be girls, get on the yoga ball beotch
5: I could care less about people on their cell phones or talking or watching tv as long as your not in my way, Im going to look a whole lot better than these ass clowns at the end of the day.
6: public loud steroid talk...WTF are people thinking?
7: the dirty ass tanning beds
8: when my neighbor is there and i cant sweat the hotties b/c they will tell on me
9: when my kindness is taken for weakness, nothing a nice 500lb squat wont fix though

my biggest aggrevation is people (one girl inparticular) who comes in earlier to beat me to the elliptical and its the only one with a heart rate so im stuck going by feel on another one and she just mozies along burning like 20 calories for the whole hour, sometimes she stops and forgets shes on the elliptical because she gets so far into her magazine, and the part that really pisses me off is she doesnt even use the heart monitor but has to be there early to get that machine, she looks like a retarded chicken on it, i m getting mad talking about it so ill go deal with it again in the morning im sure
