LOL...got banned from a gym today

[higherdesire]

nighty night. Glad I could help bro.

[Bojangles69]

So my friend and I were deadlifting today. I was attempting to DL 450 lbs which is as much as I've ever done, it was going to be my last set. I go over to get water, and on the way back over to the rack I see this old guy that works at the front desk talking to my friend. He walks away, my friend does his set, I put on my weight and get ready to DL.

I'm getting into the zone. Looking at myself in the mirror, metal blasting into my ears...here we go. Then BAM...****ing old guy walks over and tells me to not drop the weights, but put them down gently. I shrug him off, and go to do my set...my psyche-up is completely gone. I don't try for the 450 because I lost concentration.

So, we get our shit, and leave the 450 lbs sitting on the floor. The guy tells us to rerack the weights while we are walking out. I tell him "You ****ed up my lift, you go rerack them." My friend points at all the huge guys sitting up front and says "Which one of you can put down 450 lbs gently?" They all shrugged. So we walk out, go to my car, two fat bodybuilder looking dudes come over, with our names and account numbers on a piece of paper. They start complimenting me on the weight I was attempting to DL, and go on to say that we should be the bigger men and go rerack the weights...and that the old man is canceling our accounts and banning us from the chain of gyms. I tell the fat BB guy that it's not his problem, and I don't give a **** if the old man cancels my account as I don't intend to come back to this wanna-be hardcore gym ever again.

I further explained that I worked out for years at a commercial gym (LA Fitness) and no one ever said ANYTHING to me about bent bars or dropped weights, I come to some supposed "no excuses" hardcore type gym, and an old man tells me to put down 450 lbs gently.

The guy goes "Well bro...no one says anything because you look scary"...WTF ever, I shook his hand and drove away.

If the old man doesnt know what a deadlift is, perhaps he shouldn't be working in a gym.

BTW...this was at Porky's in Miami.

You know what I could care less that you didn't rerack the weights.

But when people slam weight doing deadlifts I want to rip their fvcking heads off and shove them up their ass.

Dudes at my school gym slam that shit w/out even exhausting the least bit of effort to not make noise.
I have my headphones blasting and STILL when that weight drops is so loud and abrupt that I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack.

I FVCKING HATE PEOPLE WHO SLAM WEIGHTS.
If you CAN LIFT, let me say again.. **CAN LIFT** the weight, then you also can put the weights down w/out scaring half the people in the gym to near death.

Even if your burnt out at the end of your set how hard is it to bend your knees, keep you hands tight around the bar and ease it to the floor?

I really can't stand people like that. Sure its the gym and people make noise, but for some reason on deadlifts people think they need to slam that shit down like a 7.0 earthquake on the ricter scale.

I always keep my mouth shut but if you had any idea how annoying it is I actually wanna shake that old mans hand.
And actually, out of all the things that bother me at the gym, this is number 1on the list.

Imagine if you were doing a set and I came up to you with a shotgun and shot it in the air, it goes beyond disrupting people. Its completely not neccassary.
So fvck that, you can help it and you know it.

I would pay extra to join a gym that had a no slamming rule while doing dead lifts thats how much I hate people who do it. Have some courtesy and stop being stubborn.

is it just deadlifts you hate to hear slam?
i love to hear weight slam, bars clang, all that stuff..i really think that if u are in the zone and someone dropping weights "scares" you, you may not be cranking hard enough...
there is a gym for you "planet fitness" no yelling or slamming....

u can't deadlift very much can ya buddy?

Don't brag about your lil 585 Ruhl, that ain't much either....

These tough guy threads really make me laugh. Most of the guys who start these threads are guys who couldn't bust a grape in a food fight. It's hilarious. Most big guys and truely strong guys don't go into the gym with a chip on their shoulders. Most of us are really helpful and respect gym rules. I've trained with some of the strongest guys on the planet and we've never got on a little guys for moving or not moving the weight or bitched at an old man for doing his job. But I guess if you're at the level most people won't ever be, you don't feel threatened by anyone.

I agree with that, the strongest guys seem to be the most helpful. This powerlifter I know from the gym really helped me with my squatting form. He says once you get that right, "you just put it on." I think he squats around 900 or something in comp and benches like over 700 with a vest.

i wasn't....but anything over 405 or so to me is gonna get put down hard....period....

[BgMc31]

never mind....

Join me at the planet fitness lol. They don't even allow dead lifts.

[Ernst]

The anti-Rühl has arrived.

[spywizard]

well, at least you didn't take a dump in the sink..

[jbm]

I'll just continue my lift then drop it! re rack the weights then leave...

[warchild]

only ruhl would agree with this guy

[bushido3374]

I LOVE this thread!!! I think there's alot of emotions on here both ways. I think by now Nooomoto knows what the general sentiment of the board is at this point. Hopefully he'll learn and chill out next time he's ticked off.

[scottythebody]

Just got banned from my gym, was about to start my workout and some skinny little old douchebag asked me if anyone was using the bench next to me. Totally ruined my concentration so I threw a dumbell at the mirror and shattered it, the staff asked me to never come back, I told them they are not hardcore

Jackhammers ain saying shit.

Again?

You were gone before?

You should make an official thread so people notice. :P

[MASTER]

Insecurities are pointless, I have a fat arse and tiny penis. On the surface it would seem like a bad thing, but in reality it just means I appeal to a very select group of ladies. Im special.

[Flagg]

Ruhl, say hello to Odin for me during your sabatical!

I think you actually believe you are some sort of mythical figure. And that in the year 2050 not only are you going to chow down an immortality pill but a pill that makes you 20 again.

Well you have one thing in common with Thor in that neither of you live on planet Earth.

[Dizz28]

This is now the best thread ever

[MMArmour]

a few things have become obvious to me. everyone hates ruhl. second...nark is not a comedian.

*sobs*



Take that back!

[Matt]

I too have learnt two things, my penis is fvckin huge and hockey is for girls...

[Flagg]

HATE is a strong word.

I don't hate Ruhl, I think he says some silly things sometimes. I mean this thread wasn't even about him, and he managed to stick a big target on his back anyways.

[IM708]

There was only one time where I totally lost it in the gym. This douchebag when I was deadlifting thought he was cool becasue he was sitting shooting the shit with his friends on the lever machines. Started commenting that I wasn't doing the lifts right. I dropped the weights told him "to get his fvcking panzy ass over here and show me how to do it."

Nope, never did since that stuff was "too crazy for him"

I was pulled aside by the staff and was told to cool down a bit. That I believe is a good reason to ever flip out in the gym. Not on some old prick who just wants to interact with something besides his own functionless dick.

[BgMc31]

nobody hates Ruhl. He's just another wanna be tough guy. This forum is full of them and we just have a good time poking fun at them. No big deal.

And Noomoto, you claim to be a powerlifter and making you an ass of yourself doing 450lbs. You aught to be ashamed of yourself and you make the rest of powerlifters look bad. Find a real powerlifting training crew, so they can teach you how a real powerlifter respects the sanctity of the gym no matter where it is!!!

Either that or open you own gym or build on in your house.

True.

Honestly, my penis is a bigger deal.

[BritishColumbian]

I have absolutely no problem with Ruhl. I admire his admition of his beliefs and how he expresses them. I like that he isnt afraid to go against the flow and speak his mind.
Because if we were all the same it would be fvcking BORING!
