Top Gym Peeves & Etiquette Breaches

[train_insane]

anyway enough about cocks ........ faggots that do dumbel rows like theyre trying to start a lawn mower .... poor form, no squeeze just erratic elbows all over the place

Damn!! Have just returned to gym after 8 weeks off...F#@k me!! Completely forgot about the seasonal surge in gym membership at this time of the year... Etiquette breaches all around me...interpersonal space violations, staring, disrespecting the weights i.e the 'tools of our trade' etc...really happy for the gym owner and the boost to the business, but there has to be regular monitoring by staff of member conduct. I was only just able to bite my tongue long enough to get through my workout.. I swear, one of the newbies would have worn it from me if I was in there any longer...

Is it just me? Are others experiencing the same thing, or am I just too old and stuck in my ways :?

[Riccardo]

Not just you bro, I get so furious with the douche baggery that goes on sometimes especially at this time of year, I normaly don't tolerate idiots too well but when your cutting/low on carbs it makes it a million times worse, the other day I almost went into a rage after two dickheads were taking forever on the decline bench, they must have done at least 5 sets each, and these weren't proper reps they were your typical douche bag 1/4 reps (maybe they were doing tricep extensions) lol and they were talking forever between sets, talking and shit.

I would have worked in with them but they were sweating profusely onto the bench and didnt wanna have that trickling down my neck midway through a set.

The worst thing about seasonal trainers is they seem to be the biggest loud mouths and knowit alls aswell. They read a couple articles on T-nation and all of a sudden they are Charles Poliquin. Also they aren't there for the long term so they have no regard for the equipment, dumbells flying around the room, snapping cables, fraying tricep extension ropes because they use ludicris amounts of weight with shit form.

I hear you bro! I think I'll go back to my 5.30am trainings...they don't tend to use the gym at that time...should come up with a nickname for these seasonal trainers ay?! There's usually another wave of them just after the Xmas/NYs period usually driven by some misguided commitment to (yet) another new years resolution.lol.

Do you think the transition to the seasonal influx of douche nozzles would have been easier on you if you hadn't slacked off for the last two months! :pfft: :grin:

[tinytraps]

People complain about the dbs we had were shit. Get brand new hammer strength dbs from 1-50kg. Nek minnt thrown all over the floor some already chipped less than 6hours old :evil:

Its the young guys that are the worst, take out 5 pairs of dbs to do shitty 1/4 presses then leave them lying on the ground, go and hog the bench leave the weights on (usually an assortment of 5 and 10 kg plates to lazy to use the 20s) catching them posing shirtless and in the wall mirrors :roll:

The worst one is going up to them and saying "bro can you put your weights away" and getting the reply "thats what you get paid for." As kirk karworski would say "If I told you twice you would get a 45 flying at you!"

lol, quite possibly...my mood wasn't the best either :x . However, its an easy fix really. The direct approach tonight sorted a group of them out. They must have thought their father was in the gym as I provided gentle guidance... "put your weights away", "wipe down the bench", "are you going to be long", "you're standing too close to me"...fortunately they listened, and that they'll come back wiser.

i know how you feel, seems between 6 to 930 au gyms fills up with people going full retard

i dunno if this guy im about to complain about is a seasonal trainer or not, but man he pisses me off. skinny asian guy, wears hipster glasses, has a group of cronies following him around, always lifting his shirt up to look at his abs in the mirror... i was doing legs on tuesday and he came over to the space between squat racks and lifted his shirt and gave a little speech to his pals about his abs. my phone played half a 3min30s song before the dude put it away

relevant cos this guy seems to think hes charles poliquin, with all the loud terrible advice he gives to his buddies

next time he comes near me and pulls his shirt up im gonna punch him in the face :evil:

[Riccardo]

ahahahahahahahahahahhaahaha I know EXACTLY who you are talking about. There are a couple of little "crews" that follow each other round doing gay as shit and generally training like retards.

[karm015]

lmao, yeah, like two or three. least they serve as comic relief i guess... if they aren't pissing you off they're making you laugh inside cos of how ridiculous they are

fkn gym peeves in their own right tho

[hhhh1]

my top peeve would be when me and my crew are at the gym, doing our curls, benchpress and abwork etc (getting aesthetic as f*ck) and these 2 phaggots who dont even look like they lift keep looking over at us all the time, especially when im showing my ab progress off to my crew.

I have never been sure if they want our cawwks or are just ultra-jelly of our shredded physiques and size 28 waistlines. The fact is, we go out and get bitches, while they sit at home all weekend (studying and rubbing a few out over flex magazine, probably) cause alcohol doesnt fit into their macros

LOL at nbe singlets. brb not getting one

whats wrong with them bro? i was gona get me one

[Sanka]

Only ever seen this once: Some young dude decides to do bicep curls and instead of putting the barbell/dumbbells on the floor reasonably, just drops them at the end of his sets. Asked if there was a reason he was dropping them, "Yes.", asked him to put them down like everyone else, he stfu and started putting them down gently.

If he was lifting super heavy I could understand, but curling with a 15kg bar then a couple of 7kgs... Seriously.

(Not that I'm huge or anything, but consideration is important)

oh lol just seen lots of skinny homos in them bro thats all

[crazyfacials]

dudes who roll up their sleeves and start doing curl and stare in the mirror harding miring dem 11 inch guns....some of them even go to the point of rolling up their sleeves even when going out/when seen drinking at the local pubs/clubs

[dmcb]

nothing worse than someone standing close to you, trying to hurry you up while you're resting between sets gymrat

[Small]

[Gym rat]

people telling me not to stand there while I am waiting when I have every right to stand and waiting to use the machine or bench.

[GreekAdonis]

If someone tells me to movie, this is what I tell them.

[Diab0lic]

Chicks wearing perfume/makeup to the gym. How about no

Filthy cunts that leave standing pools of sweat on benches.

The naked guy who was laying on his back with his eyes closed on the changing room bench last month with one knee up so everyone could see his junk

People who talk overly loudly the whole time so you cant help hearing about their shitty lives

Turds who take up a bench and put 3 sets of dumbells next to it, therefore "bagsing" those dumbells for the whole duration of whatever the f*ck they're doing

Im lucky at my gym. Everyone puts everything away or back in its place and the place is real clean and new.

Also, I go at about 9am when they're aren't many assholes, or many people at all tbh. Feels good man

[wahagirl]

The guy that claims he didnt see the sign that says "No towel, no train" and training shoes only does not mean jandals. I'm not using my first aid to clean up your messed up toes.
