Does this happen in your gym?

what i love is when the newbies come in and try to tell me how to train when they ask for advice and then tell me i am wrong....

The squat rack still seems to be empty.

I think the biggest problem with new people is they dont understand the basic gym rules. My pet peeves are

1.) the guy talking on his cell phone for 10 mins while you are trying to use the equipment.

2.) the guy doing 8 sets of lat pull downs for 40 reps each set, so they can get ripped.

3.) the super social gym guy that walks around and talks to everyone and gives out pointers while he doesnt even touch a weight.

i just hate the fat chick who plants her ass to do pulldowns, grows roots and doesn't get off till she's finished all her sets or till someone rudely tells her that he/she would like to get a set in at which point she gives the regular a dirty look as if she's been molested. and YES, it is ALWAYS the fat chicks...

in my gym its fucking chaos all evening. it drives me insane..
cruised in their yesterday evening, time for some heavy ass back and you got weights all over the place, people on the lat pulldown looking like they are about to take off pulling the bar to their waists for fuck sake. i hate january`s, the gym is full of fat wasters. GEt 225 on the bench or get out is my moto..

At the gym I used to go to, shit like that happened all the time. But if you went in at 4:30-5am, the hard core SOB's were in there EVERYDAY. They were all serious and didn't have to worry about people getting in their way. By the time the other members wake up and get their morning coffee and bagel, these dudes were done working out and long gone.

i know what ur sayin there. i used to go at about 530-6am a few years ago and the only people in there were the elderly and the big bodybuilder mofos (i.e., not just the big guys, but the giant motherfuckers that wear the fuckin big red ronald mcdonald squat boots, weight belts, fuckin wraps on every joint, chalk all over themselves, lifting hard as fuck. i miss that shit. they were all cool as shit too, not overly cocky and i was young and inexperienced and they were all willing to give advice to me no matter what. not like most cocky college kid assholes that go to the gym with a fuckin hemp necklace on and do flat db bench with the 70s and then throw them 3 feet after the set like they were using 160s or some shit.

Oh shit does that piss me off. It's funny how the have the strength to exercise with that weight, but when it comes to setting it back down it's a BOOM!! Shakes the damn floor and everything. Kinda like saying, look at me guys I just did some shit with heavy ass weights. There are ways to set down weights, even when you're spent, without registering on the richter scale.

The early morning hardcore dudes (and old people) seemed very respectful too. They were considerate, polite and would help if you asked.

Instead of judging others at the gym maybe you guys should try and help them. If you see someone doing something wrong, correct them in a helpful manner. Stop thinking your so superior because you have more mass on you and try and help your fellow man.

you're point is valid robly. My problem is that here in South Florida I live and workout sorrounded by spics from Mars and the last thing I'd like to do is help them knowing how they hate this country and how they talk bullshit about American people.

But that's just my personal situation. Don't take it as a general rule. I'd be more than glad helping out good fellas.
