Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I have a mp3 player to drown out the lousy gym music and the ignorance of the "so called" gurus of weighlifting. But the thing that does get on my nervers, and i know it shouldnt but i just cant help it, are the guys who have know idea how to do a set using proper technique. Its obvious that these guys havent been training very long. For example, doing squats, they pyramid from 135 up to 315, and im talking about guys who weigh about 150lbs. They go down about 2 inches every set. Yeah, sure they can do a set of 4-6 with 315 only going to 2 inches, while im struggling with 8-10 reps at the same weight, but going to parallel or further. And they think they're really pushin some weight, that just irritates the piss out of me, but i dont let it affect my training, as i know im getting more out of my workout. I guess someday these guys will learn, but i guarantee it want be me givin them advice, unless they ask, of cource.
What do others at the gym do that pisses you off?

Someone doing curls in the squat rack. The first of the year when the gym is packed full of fuckers that will only come for a month or two and then quit. They just get in the way.
It's funny, no matter where you go it's all the same. Every gym has these:
- New Year's Resolutionites
- The Constant Jabbering Crew
- The Exhibitionist Yelling Fellows
- The Exhibitionist Yelling Fellows Who Love to Drop Weights
- The 'Guys who use 315 on the squat rack and couldn't do a single with 135 going to parallel'
- The 'Guys who just used 315....' and are now using the power rack to curl 10's
- The 'Can I Work in' Guys who totally take advantage of consideration
- The 'Guys who give no consideration to others looking to work-in' and use a piece of equipment
- The 'Guys Who Insist on Preaching From Men's Health'
- The 'I'm to Good to Rack My Weight Guys' who need to be gang raped in prison
- And of course the 'I Got my PT Certificate out of a Cornflakes Box Guys' many of who seem to be deluded into thinking they are an authority on weight training.

I hate the people who claim to know more than me on most occasions, and try to point out flaws in my exercise, then call me to ask me if they should eat fat at all, or whether they should start running outside because they're lost without a tredmil. And the people you try to workout with and rely on for transportation, but they always have something that comes up. When they do workout they do the worst reps known to man, struggle on miniscule ammounts, and then claim that they're struggling because of how hard they worked yesterday when they did nothing!

Whenever someone decides to start talking to you in the middle of your set.
and
The first week of January, when the gym is packed with new year's resolution fitness crazed cookie eating chubby people. Who seem to decide to work out 1 week of every year.

Never had it happen and I can't imagine my reaction would not be to go ballistic. That is totally unacceptable unless the gym catches fire.Anthrax said:
Hearing stuff like this makes me glad I have a passable setup at home. The only thing I really need to go to a gym for are the bumpers and platform - but with the recent ankle injury I'm still nursing there is no need for this either.

1) The girl who only does cardio jabbering loudly on her cell phone the whole time
2) The "Prison Crew" guys who yell at each other when they're doing sets -- it can get a little much
3) That NO ONE puts the DBs away in pairs -- one will be all the way at the left end & the other is all the way on the right or scattered all over the place
4) That the guys don't put their plates away & sit & watch me while I take them off so I can put on what I will use, but then try to talk me out of using the squat rack cuz it's "dangerous."

majorly annoying- when I ask a guy how many sets he has left & he says "a few".
also, girls that are really fat & wear pants that say "JUICY" across the ass.
