What pisses you off the most when you are at the gym??

[pintailduck100]

some ass wipe doing bench with 45lbs dumbbells just throw them down like they were 100's and hit the corner of my shoe, luckily it did not hit my foot. i immediately punched him in the chest and knocked him over the bench. the management said the guy could press charges, and i told them to fuck off and i was defending myself from an assault.

Throwing the Damn weght after their set.

If you cant press 130 dumbells without putting them down properly when you're done then use a lighter weight PUSSY.
Youre not impressing anyone by slamming them down or throwing them around.

more funny than annoying:

i call this guy the "yoga master". about 45 years old, skinny as a rail will sit on the decline BENCH and do crunches. why not the chair thats made for crunches? who fucking knows? Anyway, for crunches he leans back slighty and twists from left to right as fast as he can. I dont know what the fuck hes doing. The best part is when hes done he assumes the lotus position ON THE DECLINE BENCH! WHY THE FUCK DOES HE STAY THERE? He will also do this on the leg extension, that doesnt bother me though cause i hate taht thing.

this old guy who is about 5'5'' likes to lift in jeans, tucked in polo shirt, boots, hat, and head phones-okay, no problem. HOWEVER-he also likes to WEIGH himself with all taht shit on. lol, he probobly tells peaple he weighs 175, when hes like 150.

what pisses me off the most is when guys come up to the squat rack next to mine and put MORE weight on then i have, only to squat it 4 inches. What do they think when they see me touch my ass to the floor with the same weight? fuck i could probobly squat 800lbs if i did it like they do. Makes me want to shake them.

this thread is long overdue, i have to respond to this!!
when im working out i hate:

1)chicks and dudes who dont work out, the just stand around a socialize--you are a waste of space!!
2) chicks and dudes that just stare at you like they've never seen a girl in shape.
3) girls that are putting on makeup in the lockeroom before they go and "work out" lol, thats more funny than annoying really

i dont know about anyone else, but the gym is not where i look to make new friends...once the head phones go on, i work out, sweat, cool off, come home!

thins that piss me off at the gym

The thing I hate the most is the guy that yells over the radio and you look over he is doing 70's on dumbell bench press . Also the guy that has to be in the mirror the whole time and he isn't even big

 

[PatBateman]

easy. The guys who are always between 5'4 and 5'8, have guts and are squat. They just throw plates on the bench press and then strut around, weight belts and all. Ah, fellas girls do like a little cut, they don't just want some sqaut ball. And yeah, bench press is pretty much the only exercise they do, that and shoulder presses.

I hate the fact that over the past decade or so, every other gym that used to have dumbbells in the 100's has now replaced them with the octagonal dumbbells that only go up to 90.

Lately, EVERYTHING pisses me off at the gym, especially in the evening hours. My gym has gone downhill now that summer is over and people are back in school. I just have to vent...

1) Guys working out with their girlfriend(s), what the hell?? Especially since the guy isn't big and she certainly isn't anything to look at. They will spend 20mins on one machine talking or worse kissing(??)

2) People doing leg crunches on the flat benches where the 100+ dumbells are.

3) Newbies who carry around the latest issue of Muscle&Fitness and do the whole-body workout as outlined, reviewing it after each set to make sure they did it right.

4) Women in the heavy dumbell section...why are they there??

5) People who can't dress....the teenage dude with shorts down to his ankles with a skin tight white wife-beater tank. Hippy dude who works out in jeans and construction boots. The fat girl who wears the oversized white t-shirt to cover her fat ass. Etc, etc, etc.

6) Girls who bathe in perfume, wear makeup, and their cute outfit and strut around giving the 40+ married guys something to google over.

7) Not a racist remark, but there are always far-east guys(indians,chinese,etc) that don't bathe everyday and just rank of something nasty.

8) Women in general, 10% belong there.....the rest need to go Lady Fitness or lift your 5lb-dumbells at home.

9) People who look at me when I am working out(???)

10) This just happened tonight, this dude was doing incline on smith machine with a 45 on each side. He burned out and couldn't get it off....something lady had to run over and help him struggle to get it off his chest.....

At my gym, there are a few trainers that walk around and do absolutelty nothing!! They walk throughout the gym and look for victims. The worst part is that these trainers look like they need to do a little training themselves. There is this one that is about 6'4-6'6, between 240 and 250, red hair, white as a ghost, walks like he has a stick up his a$$, and he doesn't look like he has ever lifted a weight a day in his life.

i hate the pussy gyms--you know the kind the 24 hour fitness and crap like that--not that the gyms themselves are bad its the people who come in and act like its a dance club or some crap and all they wanna do is meet people and get any work done--at least i found a gym thats small but its hardcore and few people come in just to come in and get business done.

Oh yea when gyms only carry 120lb dumbells or less so you have to do 20 reps cuz there to light
