Hear ya-
I have similar experiences myself. I am currently in Miami and train at Golds, and fortunately for me and the serious people there, there is very little of allthe crap I am used to. The gym is very serious, even with pros all over (Claude Groulx and a few others). Thank god. BUT, when I go back to New York, I have to work out at the NYU gym. It is a good gym, with all great equipment, but wholly shit if I see one more skinny motherfucker taken up the cable cross overs for 30 minutes I will throw them through the window. Unbelieveable, these freakin guys come in and stand in front of you, take a weight or machine if you go to get a drink or superset and they all are 140-160lb pussies who don't even come to the gym to do anything or at least whatever they are doing is not the right thing (Ha - ya a 150 lb skinny guy should do flys and crossovers for his chest and then say he wants to put on size - its a joke). At least there is good music in New York (can't say the same for Miami) and the people, if they are not stealing and taking over the weights or machine, get the hell out of my way when I do come over and speak up. This is just my added addition to the rant.
