What's your pet peeve in the gym?

[jnyce7]

people who work out in groups of 4 or more. How long must their workouts take?

I hate the guys that use 10lbs too much and the they do half reps and at that are very loud, my mo-do" show me a half rep and i Will show show you half of exercise"

I hate the damn guy that wears a thong then attempts to do the farmer's walk around the gym!!!
Oh, wait, I'm the one that does that...Nevermind!


Ok, one thing I've learned NOT to do (especially in the morning) is act like I'm interested in an old person's conversation. I think these OLD people go to the gym just to have someone to talk to. They will actually follow me around trying to just talk! AAGGGHHH!

Pople who stand right in front of the dumbell rack to do their sets

I hate guys who go to the gym just to walk around and talk maybe pick up a weight or 2 go home and shoot 4 g's of test and they are still bigger than me.

I think you guys all train at my gym. There's no hard core ambiance at all. The biggest guy in my gym also has the biggest roid gut i've ever seen. Niiiice. Very impressive. Otherwise my gym is basically full of old people & fat kinda trashy people. A few serious lifters who are the regulars, but the rest are just passing thru.

There's an old guy who never leaves u the fuck alone. Never shuts the hell up.

But the two I havent' decided which pisses me off more -- the big "tuff guy" who loads up the leg press with a shit load of plates, grunts thru 2 sets of half reps and then walks away so I get to take all the plates off.... OR

the fat chick who puts 5 lbs weights on the leg press and spends the next 20 minutes doing "Hi reps low weights". Holy fuck girl. You hauled more weight climbing the steps to get into the gym than you are now. WTF???

I just don't like it when people don't put shit back after their done with it. The gym is always a huge fucking mess and I always have to go searching for dumb bells and trip over plates.

Fucking ignorant, inconsiderate assholes. Otherwise, I just mind my business.

The fuckin frat guys who come in groups of six. 5 of em do maybe 2 or 3 sets, then they stand around and watch the biggest guy and suck his dick and tell him how great he is and ask him about his routine. Then they sit around for 2 or 3 hours and never shut the fuck up, just getin everyone's way because they see it as a fuckin social hour. Then one of their hos will come up and all the muthafuckers will flex up and crowd around her and... I don't know, maybe you have to see it, it just looks funny, all these guys pretty much go into heat and try to act cooler.
I also hate when they play the campus radio station. Just cuz we go to the school doesn't mean we should be forced to listen to such shit music, or noise, or whatever it fuckin' is.

MuscularWarrier would be my biggest pet peeve if he went to my gym. Though some of his punk look-a-like friends go there. You know, 17-year-old 130lb idiots getting bulked up on Myoplex. They aren't growing though because they can only afford $20 a week on food. Hey MW, any luck getting the right to use AAS added to the constitution? I knew you were working on that one. Oh yeah, what is your secret to smuggling that Myoplex across the border? I know you wont buy it Domestic cause you?re afraid it will be bunk. Better get that shit tested.

M.W.I.S. - MuscularWarrier is Stupid

PS - Please refrain from telling us about the 'hardcore gumming' you gave to your faggot friends

I wasn't going to join in. There are just too many pet peeves.

Here's one that resurfaced lately. The guys (they are always younger guys under 25) who make that TSSST noise when they breathe during their set.

TSST!
TSST!
TSST!
TSST!

so every damn person in the gym knows they are working hard.

If you do this one, can you please tell me what is the point? Are you a fucking snake? Can't you just breathe normally?

I actually do this, and for a reason: I do martial arts. In martial arts you learn that by tensing the abs when breathing out you can get a lot more force into your technique. You can do this by vocalising (kiaiing, yelling), or by hissing the air out if you want to make less noise.

I grunt and hiss because it allows me to lift more weight with correct form than I would otherwise. I am a weights newbie, so maybe that's why, but I want to grow and the only way that's happening is if I lift heavy. I really don't care what the others in the gym think, I'm there to work out.
