Funniest/most irritating things you see in the gym......

[frorider6]

Before I start this thread, I'd like to state that I'm not out to accumulate bad karma by dogging on someone new to the gym and making mistakes. Self improvement is always a good thing and I always try to help people if they ask for it. However, I've seen some funny shit in the gym and I'm sure you guys have to.

I work at a large technology firm and they have a fully equipped athletic facility. The free weights are never very crowded and they have everything I need.

But have you ever thrown computer geeks (kinda one myself) into a weight room? Hilarity ensues. Spandex shorts with tanks tops, tucked in even!!

I saw this big fat woman last week doing cable crossovers!!!! It was obvious her boyfriend/husband was working out with her and telling her to do them. And even though he was 1/2 he weight, he was fat as hell to!!!

It kills me too when someone new come in, sees me doing an exercise (with my strict form) and tries to imitate me. They always try to grab a weight close to mine and use really bad form. This is always accompanied by some world-class constipation type grunting.

One of my jerkoff friends yanked my shorts down once. Though, everybody was to busy being impressed to find it funny...

1) People who insist on talking to me whilst I am squatting. I once had a guy standing bout 6 inches in front of the bar staring at me as I was doing these. As I finished and went to rack the bar he decided to grab one end and "help" me. All that after warning me that squatting heavy is bad for your back.

2) People who insist on doing stretches designed purely to attract others. Where I train there is this gay guy who leans over, sticks his butt out and moves it in circles whilst moaning. I can only think that he is advertising his uhmm wares.

DISCLAIMER: I have absolutely nothing against gay people!

3) Why do some men have to wander around the changing rooms in the buff whilst rubbing themselves suggestively with a towel. They always seem to want to talk to you too.....usually about their latest boyfreind. Isn't this like me walking into the womens changing rooms butt naked?

4) People who try to convince you they know everything about training......they usually weigh in at 120lb (for a man) or 400lb (man or woman). These people like to talk to you during a set.

5) People who train nothing but pecs and biceps!

6) Personal trainers who ignore you but not the lycra clad girl next to you (who is prob your girlfreind).

I could go on.......

one thing that irritates me are people that go to the gym to socialize. get a life!! why pay money to workout and sweat when you are just coming there to find a date for friday nite??

train hard or go home!!!!!!!

I hate when the hot women come in with their huge husbands. The women always do squats in those mini skirt-short things that come down about 2 inches from their ass.

what about funny shit you've seen? Here's one about me. When I was 18 and just starting in college, I joined a small neighborhood gym. Lots of gearheads and tall skinny me. After a couple of workouts, I was warming up and stretching. I raised my arm up over my head and busted a fluorescent light with my hand. The whole place stops, just like in the movies.

I never went back.

You know, people who come to work out don't bother me even if they have no clue on form.
people who go and do one set and socialize don't bother me either.

Fat fucks don't bother me. You got to start somewhere

What bothers me are those sad ass fuckers that pass gas in the locker room or in the gym. I HATE THAT common U know who you are

Or those of you that decide to wear clothes that are too tight and you end up picking you ass. I HATE THAT TOO not as bad as the farting.

My friends who show up at the gym. They always want to socialize man, sometimes I give in between sets, but on legs day it gets kind of annoying.
