Top Gym Peeves & Etiquette Breaches

[thatwaslight]

Some guy came up and asked how many sets of deadlifts I had left. I said two or three. He said sweet, went away for a few minutes then came back and waited. I did another two sets quickly because I had already done about 5 sets and I didn't want to hog the platform for too long. I was pretty fucked but I started unloading the bar quickly so he could get on with his deadlifts. He rolls the empty bar out of the way and starts skipping on the deadlift platform... :x

Sometimes... The need to skip is strong!

This one wasn't annoying just amusing. Had a 65 kilo guy at the gym yesterday supersetting rope pushdowns with machine curls. The irony is he had a tshirt on which read "real men lift heavy". Why does a company even sell a tshirt like that in womens sizes? LOL

lol the faggot wanting to skip on a deadlift platform

[thatwaslight]

the absolute worst for me just has to be f*ck wit homos that sit on equipment for huge periods of time and don't use it (always usually Asians/indians at my gym) (yes racist)

[Against All Odds]

people that weigh themselves daily when they walk into the gym - gains arent made daily. if your 92kg today ur fucking guna be 92kg 2moro unless you just ate a horse

LOL

[Against All Odds]

I try not to let those kind of guys phase me coz at the end of the day they will have shitty physiques while your looking swole as f*ck, their loss, your gain.

WORD 8)

[Against All Odds]

esp those people that tell you to movie

ROFL sad bro

[Against All Odds]

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.

LMFAO!!! owned bitch. GTFO

[Against All Odds]

guy came and tried to take a plate off of my leg press today... while i was repping lol. not the stand, but the leg press itself... loaded up :shifty:

WTF!! Idiot :doh:

Hey Guys I have got a good major gym peeve to tell you guys which is about two former co workers that I use work at my gym that I work at and there names are Rachel Van gorp and Richard McKinlay before they left they treated myself,my co workers and my boss like dirt also they didn't bother to tell anyone that they were leaving which is very unprofessional and now they own gym in South Dunedin called Absoulte health and fitness.When I have biked past there gym I think :banging: :computer: :puke: plus there is rift between the gym that work at Absoulte health and fitness.

People strutting around the weight room like they know the show and using every piece of equipment they walk past when it looks like they don't even lift.

Had one this morning at the Uni-rec. Such an arse :evil:

[tomsammce]

Church!

[narcosis73]

the facking gotheads who can't read gym etiquette signs, one reads "Put all weights back when finish". to the retards at key fitness who train late and leave plates and dumb bells lying around everywhere, fack off to coast barbell, I'm sure steak would be more than happy to clean up after you. FAGGOTS!

[UsedToBeFatAs]

I know this is an old thread but gotta vent: Hate it when arrogant dudes give you sly looks/laugh when you are going light on a lift. This could be for any number of reasons: injury rehab, trying a new lift and wanting to perfect form, warming up etc. Then (here's the kicker) they go heavy on the same lift, terrible form and do 3/4 reps. WTF?! Enjoy being injured. Douche.

I'm a pretty placid dude and each to their own in th gym but that really pisses me off :twisted:

[severe]

^Indians?

[UsedToBeFatAs]

^Indians?

Actually yeah- and they had more jewelry on than my great grandma on housie night :pfft:

I hear you. :nod:

One dynamic duo on Friday tried benching 120. One rep to fail. He couldn't get it back up and his mate struggled to lift it off him. I was too far away to help, and with busted knees would've been too late anyway. 8)

I am over trying to help them. They are the spotter crew. It is a 50/50 lifting experience.

The spotter eventually helped him to get it to the lowest hook.

They walked away like legends and posed in the mirror. Douche.

The don't train legs either.

Now, I bet this sounds like your Curry Crew.

:clap: My man you have pretty much hit the nail on the head. I had always been nervous to try bent over rows as I mauled my lower back being a fast bowler as a teen. So I just chucked a couple of 10s on the bar and checked my form in the mirror for a few reps to make sure I didn't screw up.

These dudes wandered over, threw a bunch on the bar and did something between a bent over and upright row- jerky as hell, heads bobbling everywhere, shoulders flying everywhere GRUNTING LIKE THEY WERE GIVING BIRTH and eyeballing me. I'm like "what the hell man?! Just chill and do your own thing". I haven't seen them there much at 530am when I go- will be interesting to see how long they last.

And c'mon brah, no one trains legs- that wastes valuable shrugs time- EVERYone knows that :wink: :pfft:

[tgzerozone]

Not really a peeve (as I don't give a shit), but read on here before about the "bicep-only crew". Saw some members on Friday. hahahaha

An Asian brother at the gym I go to only works his biceps each time I see him at the gym. All kinds of curls for a whole hour. Must weigh about 50kgs at 5'9. I feel bad for him.
