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

lmfao

[drizzt]

and training shoes only does not mean jandals. I'm not using my first aid to clean up your messed up toes.

Ha ha ha, funny you should mention the jandals/no shoes bit, had a count at The Powerhouse on Saturday and out of about 15 people present, only 3 were wearing actual shoes, with a few in jandals, a couple in slipper things, the rest in barefeet :pfft:

Lol I almost never lift in actual shoes, I don't care how sturdy you think a shoe can be, unless you're wearing steel cap boots 270kg is still gona mess up dem tootsies :pfft: . Therefore might as well lift in something that you prefer to lift in.

People... hate fucking people at the gym when I wanna train...

LOL

[nemesis]

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

:oops: before I knew what most excersizes were actually called I used to call my rear delt bent over db flies "lawnmower pulls"

I dont mind anyones bad form, if they wanna do things wrong it's their business I guess. although I did once feel the need to teach someone the correct way to wrap their wrist wraps around the bar after watching his grip fail over and over while doing seated rows. he was amazed at how much easier it was :doh:

People talking on the cell phones in the gym.

i cant find that other thread about retards in the gym.

buy there is this one guy whos around mid 40's and looks like a sexual predator who seems to be there every time i train no matter which time of day and all he does is shadow boxing with the cable flys

its the most awkward looking exercise as every time he punches the weight goes up fast which causes the cable to go loose and then jerk his arms back on the way down.

why do people do these things ?

HAHAHAH This sounds hilarious :pfft:

Can't stand the gym stalker/ego lifter. I currently have this dipshit who follows me around and will jump on the same machine/equipment after im done and increase the weight by the nominal amount and preforms halfs ass reps, no squeeze or control just moves the weight anyway possible. then looks at me with his "haha better than you" face. f*ck YOU

got a laugh tho, thought id show this schmoe what time it is, 220 dead for 3. Easy. He rocks up to the bar, has a think, grabs it and soon accepts he can't get the bar off ground. Proceeds to hold his shoulder like he hurt it, then finds some else to follow around.

Oh snap! I had the same shit for a while too! It was the whole "ha! See I am better than you" look he gave me after each set of crap lifts that pissed me off! All I could keep thinking though was that at least I didnt have hair long enough to comb growing out of my shoulders!

hahahahahahahahahaha ew!

[Yenegh]

People who are clearly on a hang over or something and hit the cardio machines breathing real hard with some serious alcohol breath you could light a freakin fire close to them.

Happened today... I will never forget it... :doh:

[Coconut Maximus]

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

Yahoo! Nice to be enjoying the extra space as the seasonal trainers begin to disappear :nod:

[Dinahlady]

When two people training together do the same exercise at the same time. Like front raises or bicep curls etc. Just looks rediculous get into the pump class if you wanna do that synchronized shit.

Also more than 2 people training together. Like a gang of 16 year olds coming to the gym together watching eachother bench less than me with shit form and fucking crowding my life up.

so it does not effect you at all ? You just don't like the look of it?

I'm training with my boss at the moment and he's completely new to weights we do set after set one after another until we get to things like curls which would be pointless and time consuming doing otherwise.

Anyway pet peeve this week is the cheap gym owner not turning on the Aircon it's mid to late 30's (deg) for god sake.

[NZnoob]

This time of year is especially bad for it, because semester just started and i'm at the uni gym most of the year...

One gym junkie training with like three of his noob friends takes the cake for me.

Its like three guys following this one dude around, who normally has average form at best, worshipping him whilst the 'pro' does nothing to help their form and just sits there smug as they struggle. That and the fact that 4 people in a group take up like a bench for 45mins with constant loading/unloading/ ego 1rep maxing from the 'pro.'

That and big lines at the water cooler
