a REAL frustrating gym experience

[d3track]

how bout the ones who try to talk to you when your headphones are on....
then there big question that was so important..."how much you bench man?"

Old people seem to be the worst, they should just die. I hate when people use a machine but need to walk away and chat with their friends inbetween sets. When I'm in a rush I just wanna start swinging.

I was doing some arm dumbell curls, the bench I was sitting on was not 5 feet from the weight rack. People walk by and grab their weight and are on there way...which is no big deal. This arab guy grabs 30lbs dumbells and starts to curl them right in front of me. there is about a foot from me to him and another foot from him to the rack. I'm like WFT, I'm in my 10th rep and this asshole has his ass right in my face doing dumbells curls. Luckly for him his friends saw what was going on and pulled him to the side. Point being is that most people are so fucking inconsiderate.

I am seeing all these experiences posted, here is one that happened last week, pissed me off.

I come into the gym at 11 AM. There are like 4 people in the gym.
Not one of them is by the dumbell section. I like to work flat bench then incline, back and forth. I set up the flat and incline n fron of the the heavy dumbells so I don't have to drag a few hundred LBS of dumbells halfway across the floor. While I am doing flatbench, this old rich bitch sits down with her 20 lb dumbells on the inlince bench next to me. I inform her I am working back and forth. Mind you, there is another empty incline bench not in use 10 feet away. I politiley tell her she can work in if she wants. ( she readjusts the height) I move the other incline bench right next to the light weights for her and adjust it to her hieght. I wasn't going to tell her she had to use it, trying to be subtle ya know. Then I go and do my incline set. She makes a snide comment, " I guess I'll just go use that other bench then, sheesh. big sigh..."
It was all I could do to keep my mouth shut. But that old fucking bitch aint worth me gettin kicked out, I like my gym. Old fucking hags think they own the place in the morning at my gym.

Try being nasty and give the "I'd tear your fucking eyeballs out of your head and play dice with them if nobody was around" glare. That might work and wont get you kicked out.

You need to practice your serial killer / psycho look in the gym. Once you perfect it, noone bothers you. I guess the fact that I have perfected that, and I'm brown though would help heh.

sounds like your gym needs to buy adjustable incline benches.

They are adjustable, read what i wrote. The point I tried to make was there was another unused adjustable incline bench a few feet away and the hag wanted to use the one I was using. I tried to be subtle by saying she could work in. I even moved another incline bench close to her weights and asjusted it perfect for her and still the cunt gave me attitude. I didnt go off on her because I knew if started, I wouldnt know if I could stop. And I ain't gettin booted out of my gym. and my experience is these rich old bitches usually know people. especially in the deep south where I live. I guess because she is usually boss around 11 AM . ( I usually work out later then that)

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

if theyre adjustable-- then why did you have to go back & forth between benches???

 

[stonecold54]

because not all adjustable benches have a full ROM. the incline benches at my gym go from 45 degrees to about 70. they don't go all the way flat. I think those are the ones he is talking about. and pharmguy next time just fart and she will be gone.
